SCENE I. _France. Before Angiers._
_Enter_ AUSTRIA _and forces, drums, etc. on one side: on the
other_ KING PHILIP _of France and his Power_; LEWIS, ARTHUR,
CONSTANCE _and attendants._[75]
_Lew._ Before Angiers well met, brave Austria.[76]
Arthur, that great forerunner of thy blood,
Richard, that robb'd the lion of his heart
And fought the holy wars in Palestine,
By this brave duke came early to his grave: 5
And for amends to his posterity,
At our importance hither is he come,
To spread his colours, boy, in thy behalf,
And to rebuke the usurpation
Of thy unnatural uncle, English John: 10
Embrace him, love him, give him welcome hither.
_Arth._ God shall forgive you Cœur-de-lion's death
The rather that you give his offspring life,
Shadowing their right under your wings of war:[77]
I give you welcome with a powerless hand, 15
But with a heart full of unstained love:[78]
Welcome before the gates of Angiers, duke.
_Lew._ A noble boy! Who would not do thee right?
