Or if that chance have furthered his success,

So may she mine, for chance hath made me king.

Gawin. As chance hath made you king, so chance may change.

Provide for peace: that’s it the highest peers,

No state except, even conquerors, ought to seek.

Remember Arthur’s strength, his conquests late,

His fiery mind, his high-aspiring heart.

Mark then the odds: he expert, you untried;

He ripe, you green. Yield you, whiles yet you may;

He will not yield: he wins his peace with wars.
