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!
