  1. We are glad the Dauphin is so pleasant with us.<\/li>
  2. His present and your pains we thank you for.<\/li>
  3. When we have matched our rackets to these balls,<\/li>
  4. We will in France, by God\u2019s grace, play a set<\/li>
  5. Shall strike his father\u2019s crown into the hazard.<\/li>
  6. Tell him he hath made a match with such a wrangler<\/li>
  7. That all the courts of France will be disturbed<\/li>
  8. With chases. And we understand him well,<\/li>
  9. How he comes o\u2019er us with our wilder days,<\/li>
  10. Not measuring what use we made of them.<\/li>
  11. We never valued this poor seat of England,<\/li>
  12. And therefore, living hence, did give ourself<\/li>
  13. To barbarous license, as \u2019tis ever common<\/li>
  14. That men are merriest when they are from home.<\/li>
  15. But tell the Dauphin I will keep my state,<\/li>
  16. Be like a king, and show my sail of greatness<\/li>
  17. When I do rouse me in my throne of France,<\/li>
  18. For that I have laid by my majesty<\/li>
  19. And plodded like a man for working days;<\/li>
  20. But I will rise there with so full a glory<\/li>
  21. That I will dazzle all the eyes of France,<\/li>
  22. Yea, strike the Dauphin blind to look on us.<\/li>
  23. And tell the pleasant prince this mock of his<\/li>
  24. Hath turned his balls to gun-stones, and his soul<\/li>
  25. Shall stand sore charg\u00e8d for the wasteful vengeance<\/li>
  26. That shall fly with them; for many a thousand widows<\/li>
  27. Shall this his mock mock out of their dear husbands,<\/li>
  28. Mock mothers from their sons, mock castles down;<\/li>
  29. And some are yet ungotten and unborn<\/li>
  30. That shall have cause to curse the Dauphin\u2019s scorn.<\/li>
  31. But this lies all within the will of God,<\/li>
  32. To whom I do appeal, and in whose name<\/li>
  33. Tell you the Dauphin I am coming on,<\/li>
  34. To venge me as I may and to put forth<\/li>
  35. My rightful hand in a well-hallowed cause.<\/li>
  36. So get you hence in peace. And tell the Dauphin<\/li>
  37. His jest will savor but of shallow wit<\/li>
  38. When thousands weep more than did<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
