h, what a deale of greatnesse Is struck down at one blow. _Hub_. Give me a battell: 'Tis brave being struck downe there. _Anth_. _Henrick_, my Lord, And now my Soveraigne, I am by office bound To offer to your Royall hands this Crowne Which on my knees I tender, all being ready To set it on your head. _Omnes_.
