PRINCE HENRY

               At Worcester must his body be interr’d;
               For so he will’d it.



              BASTARD
                               Thither shall it then: [100]
               And happily may your sweet self put on

               The lineal state and glory of the land!
               To whom, with all submission, on my knee
               I do bequeath my faithful services
               And true subjection everlastingly. [105]



              SALISBURY
               And the like tender of our love we make,

               To rest without a spot for evermore.



              PRINCE HENRY
               I have a kind soul that would give thanks
               And knows not how to do it but with tears.



              BASTARD
               O, let us pay the time but needful woe, [110]

               Since it hath been beforehand with our griefs.
               This England never did, nor never shall,
               Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror,
               But when it first did help to wound itself.
               Now these her princes are come home again [115]

               Come the three corners of the world in arms
               And we shall shock them! Nought shall make us rue
               If England to itself do rest but true!

                                                                                                      [Exeunt.]
