Enter Charles, [348] the French king; Catherine, the Queen-Mother; the King of Navarre; Margaret, Queen of Navarre; the Prince of Condé; the Lord High Admiral; the Old Queen of Navarre; with others.
Char. Prince of Navarre, my honourable brother, Prince Condé, and my good Lord Admiral, I wish this union and religious league, Knit in these hands, thus joined in nuptial rites, May not dissolve till death dissolve our lives; And that the native sparks of princely love, That kindled first this motion in our hearts, May still be fuelled in our progeny.
Nav. The many favours which your grace hath shown, From time to time, but specially in this,10 Shall bind me ever to your highness' will, In what Queen-Mother or your grace commands.
