15.0.11117 Enter William, the Ambassador of Denmark, 1118Demarch, and other attendants. What news with the Denmark Ambassador?
15.3The King of Denmark and my sovereign
15.41121Doth send to know of thee what is the cause
15.51122That injuriously, against the law of arms,
15.61123Thou hast stolen away his only daughter, Blanche,
15.71124The only stay and comfort of his life.
15.9He willeth thee to send his daughter Blanche,
15.101126Or else forthwith he will levy such an host
15.111127As soon shall fetch her in despite of thee.
Ambassador, this answer I return thy king:
15.131129He willeth me to send his daughter Blanche,
15.141130Saying I conveyed her from the Danish court,
15.151131That never yet did once as think thereof.
15.161132As for his menacing and daunting threats,
15.171133I nil regard him nor his Danish power.
15.181134For if he come to fetch her forth my realm,
15.191135I will provide him such a banquet here
15.201136That he shall have small cause to give me thanks.
Is this your answer, then?
It is, and so begone.
I go, but to your cost.
15.25Our subjects, erst-levied in civil broils,
15.261141Muster forthwith for to defend the realm.
15.271142In hope whereof that we shall find you true,
15.281143We freely pardon this thy late offence.
Most humble thanks I render to your grace.
