  CLIFFORD  Is Cade the son of Henry the Fifth,

  35

  That thus you do exclaim you’ll go with him?

  36

  Will he conduct you through the heart of France

  37

  And make the meanest of you earls and dukes?

  38

  Alas, he hath no home, no place to fly to,

  39

  Nor knows he how to live but by the spoil,

  40

  Unless by robbing of your friends and us.

  41

  Were ’t not a shame that, whilst you live at jar,

  42

  The fearful French, whom you late vanquishèd,

  43

  Should make a start o’er seas and vanquish you?

  44

  Methinks already in this civil broil

  45

  I see them lording it in London streets,

  46

  Crying “Villiago!” unto all they meet.

  47

  Better ten thousand baseborn Cades miscarry

  48

  Than you should stoop unto a Frenchman’s mercy.

  49

  To France, to France, and get what you have lost!

  50

  Spare England, for it is your native coast.

  51

  Henry hath money; you are strong and manly.

  52

  God on our side, doubt not of victory.

  53

  ALL

  À Clifford! À Clifford! We’ll follow the King and

  54

  Clifford!

  CADE,
