Warw.

What plaine proceedings is more plain then this?

Henry doth clayme the Crowne from Iohn of Gaunt,

The fourth Sonne, Yorke claymes it from the third:

Till Lionels Issue fayles, his should not reigne.

It fayles not yet, but flourishes in thee,

And in thy Sonnes, faire slippes of such a Stock.

Then Father Salisbury, kneele we together,

And in this priuate Plot be we the first,

That shall salute our rightfull Soueraigne

With honor of his Birth‑right to the Crowne.
