Peace to this meeting.
1:59:21
Unto our brother France,
health and fair time of day.
1:59:25
Joy and good wishes to our most fair
and princely cousin Katherine.
1:59:29
And as a branch and member
of this royalty...
1:59:31
by whom this great assembly
is contrived,
1:59:34
we do salute you,
duke of Burgundy.
1:59:36
And, princes French and peers,
1:59:39
health to you all.
1:59:44
Right joyous are we to behold your
face, most worthy brother England.
1:59:50
Fairly met.
1:59:53
So are you,
princes English, every one.
2:00:06
My duty to you both,
on equal love,
2:00:11
great kings of France...
2:00:13
and England.
2:00:19
Since that my office
hath so far prevailed,
2:00:23
that face to face and royal
eye to eye you have congreeted...
2:00:27
let it not disgrace me if I
demand before this royal view...
2:00:32
why that the naked,
poor and mangled peace...
2:00:35
should not in this best
garden of the world,
2:00:38
our fertile France,
put up her lovely visage?
2:00:44
Alas,
2:00:46
she hath from France
too long been chased,
2:00:49
and all her husbandry
doth lie on heaps,
2:00:53
corrupting in
its own fertility.
2:00:58
And as our vineyards,
fallows, meads and hedges,
