Have lost their quality; and that this day
Shall change all griefs and quarrels into love.

_K. Hen._ To cry amen to that, thus we appear.

_Q.Isa._ You English princes all, I do salute you.

[_All the English party bow to QUEEN ISABELLA._

_Bur._ (R.) My duty to you both, on equal love,
Great kings of France and England!
Let it not disgrace me,
If I demand, before this royal view,
What rub or what impediment there is,
Why that the naked, poor, and mangled peace
Dear nurse of arts, plenties, and joyful births,
Should not, in this best garden of the world,
Our fertile France, put up her lovely visage?

_K. Hen._ If, duke of Burgundy, you would the peace,
Which you have cited, you must buy that peace
With full accord to all our just demands;
Whose tenours and particular effects
You have, enschedul'd briefly, in your hands.

_Fr. King._ I have but with a cursorary eye
O'er-glanc'd the articles: pleaseth your grace
To appoint some of your council presently
To sit with us once more, with better heed
To re-survey them, we will suddenly
Pass our accept and peremptory answer.[10]

_K. Hen._ Brother, we shall.--Go, uncle Exeter,--
And brother Bedford,--and you, brother Gloster,--
Warwick,--and Huntingdon,--go with the king;
And take with you free power, to ratify,
Augment, or alter, as your wisdoms best
Shall see advantageable for our dignity,
And we'll consign thereto.--

[_Barriers removed. The English Lords, EXETER, BEDFORD, GLOSTER,
WARWICK, and HUNTINGDON, cross to the KING OF FRANCE, and exeunt
afterwards with him._

Will you, fair sister,
Go with the princes, or stay here with us?

_Q. Isa._ Our gracious brother, I will go with them:
Haply a woman's voice may do some good,
When articles too nicely urg'd be stood on.

_K. Hen._ Yet leave our cousin Katharine here with us:
She is our capital demand, compris'd
Within the fore rank of our articles.

_Q. Isa._ She hath good leave.

[_Trumpets sound._

[_Exeunt all through gates, L.E.R. and L., but HENRY, KATHARINE,
and her Gentlewomen._

_K. Hen._ (L.C.) Fair Katharine, and most fair!
Will you vouchsafe to teach a soldier terms,
Such as will enter at a lady's ear,
And plead his love-suit to her gentle heart?

_Kath._ (R.C.) Votre majeste shall mock at me; I cannot speak votre
Anglais.

_K. Hen._ O fair Katharine, if you will love
