My lord of Burgundy, we’ll take your oath,
And all the peers’, for surety of our leagues.—
Then shall I swear to Kate, and you to me;
And may our oaths well kept and prosp’rous be!([C])
Flourish of Trumpets. Curtain descends.
THE END.
[ HISTORICAL NOTES TO ACT FIFTH.]
([A]) Enter King Henry,] At this interview, which is described as taking place in the Church of Notre Dame, at Troyes, King Henry was attired in his armour, and accompanied by sixteen hundred warriors. Henry is related to have placed a ring of “inestimable value” on the finger of Katharine, “supposed to be the same worn by our English queen-consorts at their coronation,” at the moment when he received the promise of the princess.
