_Lucy._ I’ll bear them hence; but from their ashes shall be rear’d   [adg092] A phœnix that shall make all France afeard. _Char._ So we be rid of them, do with ’em what thou wilt.   [adg094] And now to Paris, in this conquering vein:   ·adg095· All will be ours, now bloody Talbot’s slain.   [adg096] [_Exeunt._ ACT V. SCENE I. _London. The palace_. _Sennet. Enter_ KING, GLOUCESTER, _and_ EXETER. _King._ Have you perused the letters from the pope,   [aea001] The emperor and the Earl of Armagnac?   [aea002] _Glou._ I have, my lord: and their intent is this: They humbly sue unto your excellence To have a godly peace concluded of   ·aea005· Between the realms of England and of France. _King._ How doth your grace affect their motion?   [aea007] _Glou._ Well, my good lord; and as the only means To stop effusion of our Christian blood   [aea009] And stablish quietness on every side.   ·aea010· _King._ Ay, marry, uncle; for I always thought It was both impious and unnatural That such immanity and bloody strife Should reign among professors of one faith. _Glou._ Beside, my lord, the sooner to effect   ·aea015· And surer bind this knot of amity,   [aea016] The Earl of Armagnac, near knit to Charles,   [aea017] A man of great authority in France, Proffers his only daughter to your grace In marriage, with a large and sumptuous dowry.   [aea020] _King._ Marriage, uncle! alas, my years are young!   [aea021] And fitter is my study and my books Than wanton dalliance with a paramour. Yet call the ambassadors; and, as you please, So let them have their answers every one:   ·aea025· I shall be well content with any choice Tends to God’s glory and my country’s weal.   [aea027] _Enter_ WINCHESTER _in Cardinal’s habit, a_ Legate _and two_ Ambassadors. _Exe._ What! is my Lord of Winchester install’d, And call’d unto a cardinal’s degree? Then I perceive that will be verified   ·aea030· Henry the Fifth did sometime prophesy, ‘If once he come to be a cardinal, He’ll make his cap co-equal with the crown.’ _King._ My lords ambassadors, your several suits Have been consider’d and debated on.   ·aea035· Your purpose is both good and reasonable; And therefore are we certainly resolved To draw conditions of a friendly peace; Which by my Lord of Winchester we mean   [aea039] Shall be transported presently to France.   ·aea040· _Glou._ And for the proffer of my lord your master, I have inform’d his highness so at large As liking of the lady’s virtuous gifts, Her beauty and the value of her dower, He doth intend she shall be England’s queen.   ·aea045· _King._ In argument and proof of which contract,   [aea046] Bear her this jewel, pledge of my affection. And so, my lord protector, see them guarded And safely brought to Dover; where inshipp’d   [aea049] Commit them to the fortune of the sea.   [aea050] [_Exeunt all but Winchester and Legate._
