QUEEN ISABEL.
She hath good leave.
[Exeunt all except Henry, Katharine and Alice.]
KING HENRY.
Fair Katharine, and most fair,
Will you vouchsafe to teach a soldier terms
Such as will enter at a lady’s ear
And plead his love-suit to her gentle heart?
KATHARINE.
Your Majesty shall mock me; I cannot speak your England.
KING HENRY.
O fair Katharine, if you will love me soundly with your French heart, I will be glad to hear you confess it brokenly with your English tongue. Do you like me, Kate?
KATHARINE.
Pardonnez-moi, I cannot tell wat is “like me.”
KING HENRY.
An angel is like you, Kate, and you are like an angel.
KATHARINE.
Que dit-il? Que je suis semblable à les anges?
ALICE.
Oui, vraiment, sauf votre Grâce, ainsi dit-il.
KING HENRY.
I said so, dear Katharine; and I must not blush to affirm it.
