continual strife？ Whereas the contrary bringeth bliss； And is a pattern of
celestial peace。 Whom should we match with Henry； being a king； But
Margaret； that is daughter to a king？ Her peerless feature； joined with her
birth； Approves her fit for none but for a king； Her valiant courage and
undaunted spirit； More than in women commonly is seen； Will answer our
hope in issue of a king； For Henry； son unto a conqueror； Is likely to beget
more conquerors； If with a lady of so high resolve As is fair Margaret he
be link'd in love。 Then yield； my lords； and here conclude with me That
Margaret shall be Queen； and none but she。 KING HENRY。 Whether it be
through force of your report； My noble Lord of Suffolk； or for that My
tender youth was never yet attaint With any passion of inflaming love； I
cannot tell； but this I am assur'd； I feel such sharp dissension in my breast；
Such fierce alarums both of hope and fear； As I am sick with working of
my thoughts。 Take therefore shipping； post； my lord； to France； Agree to
any covenants； and procure That Lady Margaret do vouchsafe to come To
cross the seas to England； and be crown'd King Henry's faithful and
anointed queen。 For your expenses and sufficient charge； Among the
people gather up a tenth。 Be gone； I say； for till you do return I rest
perplexed with a thousand cares。 And you； good uncle； banish all offence：
If you do censure me by what you were； Not what you are； I know it will
excuse This sudden execution of my will。 And so conduct me where； from
company； I may revolve and ruminate my grief。 Exit GLOUCESTER。 Ay；
grief； I fear me； both at first and last。 Exeunt GLOUCESTER and
EXETER SUFFOLK。 Thus Suffolk hath prevail'd； and thus he goes； As
did the youthful Paris once to Greece； With hope to find the like event in
love But prosper better than the Troyan did。 Margaret shall now be Queen；
