As great in admiration as herself :
So shall she leave her blessedness to one,
When Heaven shall call her from this cloud of

darkness,
Who, from the sacred ashes of her honour,
Shall star-like rise, as great in fame as she was,
And so stand fixed. Peace, plenty, love, truth,

terror, That were the servants to this chosen infant, Shall then be his, and like a vine grow to him: Wherever the bright sun of Heaven shall shine, His honour and the greatness of his name Shall be, and make new nations: he shall flourish, And, like a mountain cedar, reach his branches To all the plains about him. Our children's

children Shall see this, and bless Heaven. K. Hen.

Thou speakest wonders. Cran. She shall be, to the happiness of England, An aged princess; many days shall see her,

Thou hast made me now a man : never, before
This happy child, did I get anything.
This oracle of comfort has so pleased me,
That, when I am in heaven, I shall desire
To see what this child does, and praise my Maker.
I thank ye all. To you, my good Lord Mayor,
And your good brethren, I am much beholding :
I have received much honour by your presence,
And ye shall find me thankful.—Lead the way,

lords : Ye must all see the Queen, and she must thank ye, She will be sick else. This day, no man think 'Has business at his house, for all shall stay : This little one shall make it holiday.

EPILOGUE.

"T is ten to one, this play can never please
All that are here. Some come to take their ease,
And sleep an act or two; but those, we fear,
We have frighted with our trumpets; so, 't is

clear, They 'll say, 't is naught: others, to hear the city Abused extremely, and to cry,– That's witty”'

Which we have not done neither; that, I fear,
All the expected good we're like to hear
For this play, at this time, is only in
The merciful construction of good women;
For such a one we showed 'em. If they smile,
And say, 't will do, I know, within a while
All the best men are ours; for 't is ill hap,
If they hold, when their ladies bid 'em clap.
