Marg.

King Lewis, and Lady Bona, heare me speake,

Before you answer Warwicke. His demand

Springs not from Edwards well‑meant honest Loue,

But from Deceit, bred by Necessitie:

For how can Tyrants safely gouerne home,

Vnlesse abroad they purchase great allyance?

To proue him Tyrant, this reason may suffice,

That Henry liueth still: but were hee dead,

Yet here Prince Edward stands, King Henries Sonne.

Looke therefore Lewis, that by this League and Mariage

Thou draw not on thy Danger, and Dis‑honor:

For though Vsurpers sway the rule a while,

Yet Heau'ns are iust, and Time suppresseth Wrongs.
