DUKE       So that from point to point now have you heard       The fundamental reasons of this war,       Whose great decision hath much blood let forth       And more thirsts after. First Lord 5     Holy seems the quarrel       Upon your grace's part; black and fearful       On the opposer. DUKE       Therefore we marvel much our cousin France       Would in so just a business shut his bosom 10    Against our borrowing prayers. Second Lord       Good my lord,       The reasons of our state I cannot yield,       But like a common and an outward man,       That the great figure of a council frames 15    By self-unable motion: therefore dare not       Say what I think of it, since I have found       Myself in my incertain grounds to fail       As often as I guess'd. DUKE       Be it his pleasure. First Lord 20    But I am sure the younger of our nature,       That surfeit on their ease, will day by day       Come here for physic. DUKE       Welcome shall they be;       And all the honours that can fly from us 25    Shall on them settle. You know your places well;       When better fall, for your avails they fell:       To-morrow to the field. Flourish. Exeunt Return to top of page ... or ... Go to next scene
