A man of great authority in France,

Proffers his only daughter to your grace

[20] In marriage, with a large and sumptuous dowry.

[♦] King. Marriage, uncle! alas, my years are young!

And fitter is my study and my books

Than wanton dalliance with a paramour.

Yet call the ambassadors; and, as you please,

25 So let them have their answers every one:

I shall be well content with any choice

[♦] Tends to God’s glory and my country’s weal.
