Clif.

Is Cade the sonne of Henry the fift,

That thus you do exclaime you'l go with him.

Will he conduct you through the heart of France,

And make the meanest of you Earles and Dukes?

Alas, he hath no home, no place to flye too:

Nor knowes he how to liue, but by the spoile,

Vnlesse by robbing of your Friends, and vs.

Wer't not a shame, that whilst you liue at iarre,

The fearfull French, whom you late vanquished

Should make a start ore‑seas, and vanquish you?

Me thinkes alreadie in this ciuill broyle,

I see them Lording it in London streets,

Crying Villiago vnto all they meete.

Better ten thousand base‑borne Cades miscarry,

Then you should stoope vnto a Frenchmans mercy.
