Fra. Vn‑sweare faith sworne, and on the marriage bed
Fra. Of smiling peace to march a bloody hoast,
Fra. And make a ryot on the gentle brow
Fra. Of true sincerity? O holy Sir
Fra. My reuerend father, let it not be so;
Fra. Out of your grace, deuise, ordaine, impose
Fra. Some gentle order, and then we shall be blest
Fra. To doe your pleasure, and continue friends.
Pand. Pand.
Pand. All forme is formelesse, Order orderlesse,
Pand. Saue what is opposite to Englands loue.
Pand. Therefore to Armes, be Champion of our Church,
Pand. Or let the Church our mother breathe her curse,
Pand. A mothers curse, on her reuolting sonne:
Pand. France, thou maist hold a serpent by the tongue,
Pand. A cased Lion by the mortall paw,
Pand. A fasting Tyger safer by the tooth,
Pand. Then keepe in peace that hand which thou dost hold.
Fra. Fra.
Fra. I may dis‑ioyne my hand, but not my faith.
