K. Hen. It is so: and you may, some of you, thank
love for my blindness, who cannot see many a fair French
city for one fair French maid that stands in my way.
Fr. King. Yes, my lord, you see them perspectively,
the cities turned into a maid; for they are all girdled with305
maiden walls that war hath never entered.[5413]
K. Hen. Shall Kate be my wife?
Fr. King. So please you.
K. Hen. I am content; so the maiden cities you talk
of may wait on her: so the maid that stood in the way for[5414]310
my wish shall show me the way to my will.[5414]
Fr. King. We have consented to all terms of reason.
K. Hen. Is't so, my lords of England?
West. The king hath granted every article:
His daughter first, and then in sequel all,[5415]315
According to their firm proposed natures.[5416]
Exe. Only he hath not yet subscribed this:
Where your majesty demands, that the King of France,
having any occasion to write for matter of grant, shall name
your highness in this form and with this addition, in French,320
Notre très-cher fils Henri, Roi d'Angleterre, Hèritier de[5417]
France; and thus in Latin, Præclarissimus filius noster[5418]
Henricus, Rex Angliæ, et Hæres Franciæ.
Fr. King. Nor this I have not, brother, so denied,[5419]
But your request shall make me lot it pass.325
