As which shall joy the most in it, that thus

The hours shall fleet unhinder’d o’er our heads

As o’er the shepherd’s gazing on his flock

From out the hawthorn shade. Or what say you,

Were it not fitter pastime to bewail

Our loss of crown and kingdom morn by morn,

Evening by evening, till at last we died

Of grief?

King Henry. Wiser it were to strive to find

What comfort’s left to us.
