Be sad, as we would make ye: think ye see

The very persons of our noble story

As they were living; think you see them great,

And follow'd with the general throng and sweat

Of thousand friends; then in a moment see

How soon this mightiness meets misery:

And if you can be merry then, I'll say

A man may weep upon his wedding day.

 

Buck. Good morrow, and well met. How have you done,

Since last we saw in France?

Nor. I thank your Grace,

Healthful; and ever since a fresh admirer

Of what I saw there.

Buck. An untimely ague

Stay'd me a prisoner in my chamber, when

Those suns of glory, those two lights of men,

Met in the vale of Andren.

Nor. 'Twixt Guynes and Arde:

I was then present, saw them salute on horseback;

Beheld them, when they lighted, how they clung

In their embracement, as they grew together;
