SCENE VI.
Continued.
Legate, solus.
And is it thus? I then will take this oath.
For hence I will not, till this upstart king
Shall stoop, and kiss the rod of my correction.
No, I will stay and sow the seeds of discord,
'Till, like the fabled dragon's teeth of old,
They shoot up into rebels arm'd against him.
Th' imprison'd Mortimer, the legal heir's
A pious friend to Rome. He shall be king;
Or I will spread so wide the scene of blood,
That England shall be one continued slaughter-house.
The French despise the haughty stripling's claims,
And doubtless will assist in this good work.
I'll get a mandate sent express from Rome,
That shall absolve his subjects of allegiance.
Harry sit fast, or quickly thou shalt know,
How dang'rous 'tis to make the church thy foe.
