coat And furbish new the name of John o' Gaunt�察�Even in the lusty haviour
of his son。 GAUNT。 God in thy good cause make thee prosperous� �Be
swift like lightning in the execution�察�And let thy blows�察�doubly redoubled�察�

loyal�察 �just�察 �and upright gentleman。 Never did captive with a freer heart
Cast off his chains of bondage�察 �and embrace His golden uncontroll'd
enfranchisement�察�More than my dancing soul doth celebrate This feast of
battle with mine adversary。 Most mighty liege�察�and my companion peers�察�
