HENRY V1
PART ONE:
COMETS,IMPORTING CHANGE OF TIME AND STATES,
BRANDISH YOUR CRYSTAL TRESSES IN THE SKY
AND WITH THEM SCOURGE THE BAD REVOLTING STARS
THAT HAVE CONSENTED UNTO HENRYS DEATH_
KING HENRY THE FIFTH,TOO FAMOUS TO LIVE LONG.
ENGLAND NE,RE LOST A KING OF SO MUCH WORTH
GLOUCESTER
ENGLAND NE,ER HAD A KING UNTIL HIS TIME
VIRTUE HE HAD,DEVSERING TO COMMAND,
HIS BRANDISHED SWORD DID BLIND MEN WIITH HIS BEAMS,
HIS ARMS SPREAD WIDER THAN A DRAGON,S WINGS:
HIS SPARKING EYES,REPLETE WITH WRATHFUL FIRE,
MORE DAZZLED AND DROVE BACK HIS ENEMIES
THAN MIDDAY SUN FIERCE BENT AGAINST THEIR FACES.
WHAT SHOULD I SAY?HIS DEEDS EXCEED ALL SPEECH;
HE NE,ER LIFT HIS HAND BUT CONQUERED.
