<A NAME=4>To do my duty to my sovereign:</A><br>
<A NAME=5>In sign, whereof, this arm, that hath reclaim'd</A><br>
<A NAME=6>To your obedience fifty fortresses,</A><br>
<A NAME=7>Twelve cities and seven walled towns of strength,</A><br>
<A NAME=8>Beside five hundred prisoners of esteem,</A><br>
<A NAME=9>Lets fall his sword before your highness' feet,</A><br>
<A NAME=10>And with submissive loyalty of heart</A><br>
<A NAME=11>Ascribes the glory of his conquest got</A><br>

<A NAME=13>Is this the Lord Talbot, uncle Gloucester,</A><br>

</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech4><b>KING HENRY VI</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=16>Welcome, brave captain and victorious lord!</A><br>
<A NAME=17>When I was young, as yet I am not old,</A><br>
<A NAME=18>I do remember how my father said</A><br>
<A NAME=19>A stouter champion never handled sword.</A><br>
<A NAME=20>Long since we were resolved of your truth,</A><br>
<A NAME=21>Your faithful service and your toil in war;</A><br>
<A NAME=22>Yet never have you tasted our reward,</A><br>
<A NAME=23>Or been reguerdon'd with so much as thanks,</A><br>
<A NAME=24>Because till now we never saw your face:</A><br>
<A NAME=25>Therefore, stand up; and, for these good deserts,</A><br>
<A NAME=26>We here create you Earl of Shrewsbury;</A><br>

<A NAME=30>In honour of my noble Lord of York:</A><br>
<A NAME=31>Darest thou maintain the former words thou spakest?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech6><b>BASSET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=32>Yes, sir; as well as you dare patronage</A><br>
<A NAME=33>The envious barking of your saucy tongue</A><br>
<A NAME=34>Against my lord the Duke of Somerset.</A><br>

<blockquote>
<A NAME=35>Sirrah, thy lord I honour as he is.</A><br>

<A NAME=39>That whoso draws a sword, 'tis present death,</A><br>
<A NAME=40>Or else this blow should broach thy dearest blood.</A><br>
