My Sovereign he is happily returned. Our battles are disposed, and on the brow Of every inferior serviter my Lord, You might behold destruction figured, Greedily thrusting to begin the fight: But when no longer they might be restrainde, And that the drum and trumpet both began To found wars cheerful harmony: behold, A flag of truce upon the walls was hanged, And forth the gates did issue meekly paced, Three men, whereof the Constable is one, The other two the Gunner and his mate, By whose gross oversight (as they report) This sudden chance unwittingly befell. And I am for the Constable of France. I do my Lord, and that for certainty. And so I think have I my Constable. My Sovereign yes. Faith even as discontented as might be, But being a more deep melancholist, And sullenner of temper then the Duke, He chaws his malice, fumes & froths at mouth, Uttering but little more then what we gather By his disturbed looks and riveled front, Saving that now and then his boiling passion, Damned up as in a surnace, finding vent Breaks through his severed lips into short pusses, And then he mumbles forth a word or two, As does a toothless Monk when he's at mattens. His Majesty requests you to speak out, Because his hearing is of late decayde. Both of them my Lord? If it please your highness but to say the word, Weel pluck him out of Quintins by the cares. The soldiers are both slain outright my Lord, But the Lord Scales a little is recovered. Well my dread Sovereign, now his wound is dressed, And by the opinion of the Surgeons, Its thought he shall not perish by this hurt. In my conceit let it not be slipped my Lord. How can it when the enemy submits, And of himself makes tender of allegiance? Let him be bound my Lord to pay your Grace, Towards your expenses, since your coming over, Seventy fine thousand crowns of the Sun, And yearly after fifty thousand more, During your life, with homage there withal, That he does hold his royalty from you, And take his offer, 'twill not beamisse. Sir will you walk in, my Lord will take advise, And so dispatch you back again unto the Earl,
Plot summary
Plot — 2 Edward the Fourth
King Edward invades France; but the Duke of Burgundy and the Constable of France fail to supply the military aid they promised. Several English soldiers are shot by the Constable's men in a failed attempt to assassinate Edward; the Constable pleads an accident,The English herald sent to King Louis is offered peace terms, which Edward modifies: Louis must submit to his suzerainty, and pay both the expenses of the invasion and an annual tribute thereafter. Louis accepts the offer and a treaty is agreed. Burgundy and the Constable try to double-cross both Edward and one another: each writes independently to both Edward and Louis, offering Louis Edward's murder and Edward assistance against Louis. Edward feigns deafness, forcing the envoys to speak loud enough for the hidden Louis to hear; then confronts the envoys with their masters' treachery. He returns to England, leaving troops in France to help Louis rout the traitors. Jane Shore visits the London prisons, distributing alms to the prisoners. Brakenbury solicits her help to procure a pardon for his kinsman Strangwidge, whose actions against French shipping were committed in ignorance of the recent treaty which made them piratical. Also condemned is his passenger, known as Flood but actually Matthew Shore. The Queen first confronts, then forgives Jane for her adultery with Edward. The King pardons Strangwidge and his crew, and Jane pays their prison fees herself. Brakenbury employs 'Flood' at the Tower. Edward has fallen ill and is anxious about a prophecy that 'G' will dispose of his sons and usurp the throne. His brother Clarence is imprisoned and drowned in the Tower. Edward dies and Richard of Gloucester becomes Lord Protector. Jane is expelled from court, and goes to stay with Mistress Blague. Richard lodges the young King and his brother in the Tower and has them murdered. 'Flood' is wounded in an altercation with the murderers and seeks succour at Mistress Blague's inn, where he is tended by Jane. The ghost of Friar Anselm tells Dr Shaw that everyone involved in the death of the princes will come to a bad end; Richard will reign only three years. Richard issues a proclamation banning anyone from giving Jane food or shelter, and Mistress Blague turns her out; but not soon enough to evade being arrested. Jane does penance. Several grateful Londoners give her food, but are arrested. Aire is hanged and Jockie whipped, but 'Flood' exonerates himself by revealing his true identity: it cannot be illegal…
