Trumpets sound. Enter, at one door, U.E.L.H., King Henry,([A]) Bedford, Gloster, Exeter, Warwick, Westmoreland, and other Lords; at another, U.E.R.H., the French King, Queen Isabel, the Princess Katharine,[7]([B]) Lords, Ladies, &c., the Duke of Burgundy, and his Train. The two parties, French and English, are divided by barriers.
K. Hen. (L.C.) Peace to this meeting, wherefore we are met![8]
Unto our brother France,—and to our sister,
Health and fair time of day;—joy and good wishes
To our most fair and princely cousin Katharine;
And (as a branch and member of this royalty,
By whom this great assembly is contriv’d,)
We do salute you, duke of Burgundy;—
And, princes French, and peers, health to you all!
All the French party bow to King Henry.
