Fra. You louing men of Angiers, Arthurs subiects
Fra. Our Trumpet call'd you to this gentle parle.
Iohn. Iohn.
Iohn. For our aduantage, therefore heare vs first:
Iohn. These flagges of France that are aduanced heere
Iohn. Before the eye and prospect of your Towne,
Iohn. Haue hither march'd to your endamagement.
Iohn. The Canons haue their bowels full of wrath,
Iohn. And ready mounted are they to spit forth
Iohn. Their Iron indignation 'gainst your walles:
Iohn. All preparation for a bloody siedge
Iohn. And merciles proceeding, by these French.
Iohn. Comfort yours Citties eies, your winking gates:
Iohn. And but for our approach, those sleeping stones,
Iohn. That as a waste doth girdle you about
Iohn. By the compulsion of their Ordinance,
Iohn. By this time from their fixed beds of lime
Iohn. Had bin dishabited, and wide hauocke made
Iohn. For bloody power to rush vppon your peace.
