Retained rule by wars throughout the world.
What shame it were since such achieved spoils,
And conquests gain’d both far and wide, to want
Of courage then, when most it should be mov’d!
How Britons erst paid tribute for their peace,
But now rebel and dare them at their doors.
For what was France but theirs? Herewith incens’d,
They fiercely rav’d, and bent their force afresh.
Which Arthur spying, cried with thundering voice;
Fie (Britons) fie! what hath bewitch’d you thus?
