| <p><blockquote> | |
| <i>Enter LEWIS and his train</i> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech1><b>LEWIS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=1>The sun of heaven methought was loath to set,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=2>But stay'd and made the western welkin blush,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=3>When English measure backward their own ground</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=4>In faint retire. O, bravely came we off,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=5>When with a volley of our needless shot,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=6>After such bloody toil, we bid good night;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=7>And wound our tattering colours clearly up,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=8>Last in the field, and almost lords of it!</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Enter a Messenger</i></p> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech2><b>Messenger</b></a> | |

| <A NAME=9>Where is my prince, the Dauphin?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech3><b>LEWIS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=10>Here: what news?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech4><b>Messenger</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=11>The Count Melun is slain; the English lords</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=12>By his persuasion are again fall'n off,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=13>And your supply, which you have wish'd so long,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=14>Are cast away and sunk on Goodwin Sands.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech5><b>LEWIS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=15>Ah, foul shrewd news! beshrew thy very heart!</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=16>I did not think to be so sad to-night</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=17>As this hath made me. Who was he that said</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=18>King John did fly an hour or two before</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=19>The stumbling night did part our weary powers?</A><br> | |

| <A NAME=21>Well; keep good quarter and good care to-night:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=22>The day shall not be up so soon as I,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=23>To try the fair adventure of to-morrow.</A><br> | |
