The Chronicle Historie of Henry the fift with his battel fought at Agin Court in France Togither with Auncient Pistoll Enter King Henry Exeter 2. Bishops Clarence and other Attendants Exeter SHall I call in Thambassadors my Liege King Not yet my Cousin til we be resolude Of some serious matters touching vs and France Bi. God and his Angels guard your sacred throne And make you long become it King Shure we thank you And good my Lord proceed Why the Lawe Salicke which they haue in France Or should or should not stop vs in our clayme And God forbid my wise and learned Lord That you should fashion frame or wrest the same For God doth know how many now in health Shall drop their blood in approbation Of what your reuerence shall incite vs too Therefore take heed how you impawne our person How you awake the sleeping sword of warre We charge you in the name of God take heed After this coniuration speake my Lord And we will iudge note and beleeue in heart That what you speake is washt as pure As sin in baptisme Then heare me gracious soueraigne and you peeres Which owe your liues your faith and seruices To this imperiall throne There is no bar to stay your highnesse claime to France But one which they produce from Faramount No female shall succeed in salicke land Which salicke land the French vniustly gloze To be the realme of France And Faramont the founder of this law and female barre Yet their owne writers faithfully affirme That the land salicke lyes in Germany Betweene the flouds of Sabeck and of Elme Where Charles the fift hauing subdude the Saxons There left behind and setled certaine French Who holding in disdaine the Germaine women For some dishonest maners of their liues Establisht there this lawe To wit No female shall succeed in salicke land Which salicke land as I said before Is at this time in Germany called Mesene Thus doth it well appeare the salicke lawe Was not deuised for the realme of France Nor did the French possesse the salicke land Vntill 400. one and twentie yeares After the function of king Faramount Godly supposed the founder of this lawe Hugh Capet also that vsurpt the crowne To fine his title with some showe of truth When in pure truth it was corrupt and naught Conuaid himselfe as heire to the Lady Inger Daughter to Charles the foresaid Duke of Lorain So that as cleare as is the sommers Sun King Pippins title and Hugh Capets claime King Charles his satisfaction all appeare To hold in right and title of the female So do the Lords of France vntil this day Howbeit they would hold vp this salick lawe To bar your highnesse claiming from the female And rather choose to hide them in a net Then amply to imbrace their crooked causes Vsurpt from you and your progenitors K. May we with right conscience make this claime Bi. The sin vpon my head dread soueraigne For in the booke of Numbers is it writ When the sonne dies let the inheritance Descend vnto the daughter Noble Lord stand for your owne Vnwinde your bloody flagge Go my dread Lord to your great graunsirs graue From whom you clayme And your great Vncle Edward the blacke Prince Who on the French ground playd a Tragedy Making defeat on the full power of France Whilest his most mighty father on a hill Stood smiling to behold his Lyons whelpe Foraging blood of French Nobilitie O Noble English that could entertaine With halfe their Forces the full power of France And let an other halfe stand laughing by All out of worke and cold for action King We must not onely arme vs against the French But lay downe our proportion for the Scot Who will make rode vpon vs with all aduantages Bi. The Marches gracious soueraigne shal be sufficient To guard your England from the pilfering borderers King We do not meane the coursing sneakers onely But feare the mayne entendement of the Scot For you shall read neuer my great grandfather Vnmaskt his power for France But that the Scot on his vnfurnisht Kingdome Came pouring like the Tide into a breach That England being empty of defences Hath shooke and trembled at the brute hereof Bi. She hath bin then more feared then hurt my Lord For heare her but examplified by her selfe When all her chiualry hath bene in France And she a mourning widow of her Nobles She hath her selfe not only well defended But taken and impounded as a stray the king of Scots Whom like a caytiffe she did leade to France Filling your Chronicles as rich with praise As is the owse and bottome of the sea With sunken wrack and shiplesse treasurie Lord. There is a saying very old and true If you will France win Then with Scotland first begin For once the Eagle England being in pray To his vnfurnish nest the weazel Scot Would suck her egs playing the mouse in absence of the cat To spoyle and hauock more then she can eat Exe. It followes then the cat must stay at home Yet that is but a curst necessitie Since we haue trappes to catch the petty theeues Whilste that the armed hand doth fight abroad The aduised head controlles at home For gouernment though high or lowe being put into parts Congrueth with a mutuall consent like musicke Bi. True therefore doth heauen diuide the fate of man in diuers functions Whereto is added as an ayme or but obedience For so liue the honey Bees creatures that by awe Ordaine an act of order to a peopeld Kingdome They haue a King and officers of sort Where some like Magistrates correct at home Others like Marchants venture trade abroad Others like souldiers armed in their stings Make boote vpon the sommers veluet bud Which pillage they with mery march bring home To the tent royall of their Emperour Who busied in his maiestie behold The singing masons building roofes of gold The ciuell citizens lading vp the honey The sad eyde Iustice with his surly humme Deliuering vp to executors pale the lazy caning Drone This I infer that 20. actions once a foote May all end in one moment As many Arrowes losed seuerall wayes flye to one marke As many seuerall wayes meete in one towne As many fresh streames run in one selfe sea As many lines close in the dyall center So may a thousand actions once a foote End in one moment and be all well borne without defect Therefore my Liege to France Diuide your happy England into foure Of which take you one quarter into France And you withall shall make all
