The darkest shadow of defeat that broods

O'er sceptres and unfriended kings.

Gla. Why talk

Of crowns and kings? This is our home, dear Henry.

For if you love me you will stay with me.

Hen. Ah, blest to be here, and from morning's top

Review the sunny graces of the world,

Plucking the smilingest to dearer love,

Until the heart becomes the root and spring

Of hopes as natural and as simply sweet
