Lewis.

Before Angiers well met braue Austria,

Arthur that great fore‑runner of thy bloud,

Richard that rob'd the Lion of his heart,

And fought the holy Warres in Palestine

By this braue Duke came early to his graue:

And for amends to his posteritie,

At our importance hether is he come,

To spread his colours boy, in thy behalfe,

And to rebuke the vsurpation

Of thy vnnaturall Vncle, English Iohn,

Embrace him, loue him, giue him welcome hether.
