P. 185
Made hard with kneeling, I do pray to thee, [310]
Thou virtuous Dolphin, alter not the doom
Forethought by heaven!
BLANCHE
Now shall I see thy love: what motive may
Be stronger with thee than the name of wife?
CONSTANCE
That which upholdeth him that thee upholds, [315]
His honour: O, thine honour, Lewis, thine honour!
LEWIS
I muse your majesty doth seem so cold,
When such profound respects do pull you on.
PANDULPH
I will denounce a curse upon his head.
KING PHILIP
Thou shalt not need. England, I will fall from thee. [320]
CONSTANCE
O fair return of banish’d majesty!
ELEANOR
O foul revolt of French inconstancy!
KING JOHN
France, thou shalt rue this hour within this hour.
BASTARD
Old time the clock-setter, that bald sexton time,
Is it as he will? well then, France shall rue. [325]
BLANCHE
The sun’s o’ercast with blood: fair day, adieu!
