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,
2:01:02
defective in their natures,
grow to wildness,
2:01:05
even so our houses and ourselves,
our children have lost...
2:01:10
or do not learn
for want of time...
2:01:12
those sciences which
should become our country,
2:01:15
but grow like savages,
as soldiers will...
2:01:20
that nothing do
but meditate on blood...
2:01:23
to swearing and stern looks,
diffused attire,
2:01:28
and everything that seems...
2:01:32
unnatural.
2:01:36
And my speech entreats
that I may know...
2:01:39
the let why gentle peace...
2:01:42
should not expel
these inconveniences...
2:01:45
and bless us with
her former qualities.
2:01:52
Lf, duke of Burgundy,
you would the peace...
2:01:56
whose want gives growth to the
imperfections which you have cited,
2:01:59
then you must buy
that peace...
