Ely. How now for mitigation of this bill
Urged by the Commons?

Incline to it, or no?

Cant.

Or rather, swaying more upon our part,

Than cherishing the exhibiters against us.

d The land Salique is in Germany,

Between the floods of Sala and of Elbe:

p. 8.

Where Charles the Great, having subdued the Saxons,
There left behind and settled certain French,
Who holding in disdain the German women,
For some dishonest manners of their life,
Established then this law,-to wit, no female
Should be inheritrix in Salique land
Which Salique, as I said, 'twixt Elbe and Sala,
Is at this day in Germany called Meisen. p. 10.

Go, my dread lord, to your great-grandsire's tomb,
From whom you claim; invoke his warlike spirit,
And your great uncle's, Edward the Black Prince,
Who on the French ground played a tragedy,
Making defeat on the full power of France;
Whiles his most mighty father on a hill
Stood smiling. p. 13.

f When all her chivalry hath been in France,
And she a mourning widow of her nobles,
She hath herself not only well defended,
But taken, and impounded as a stray,

The King of Scots; whom she did send to France
To fill King Edward's fame with prisoner kings.

Henry the Sixth, in infant bands crowned king
Of France and England, did this king succeed;
Whose state so many had the managing,

That they lost France, and made his England bleed.

10. Examples of Shakspeare's indulgence in quibbling or word-play:

α When we have matched our rackets to these balls,
We will in France, by God's grace, play a set
Shall strike his father's crown into the hazard:

Tell him, he hath made a match with such a wrangler,
That all the courts of France will be disturbed

With chases. p. 18.

b For the gilt of France (O guilt indeed !),

Confirmed conspiracy with fearful France.1 p. 22.

I am boy to them all three; but all they three, though they would serve me, could not be a man to me; for, indeed, three such antics do not amount to a man. p. 48.

f It makes much against my manhood, if I should take from another's pocket to put into mine; for it is plain pocketing-up of wrongs. I must leave them and seek some better service; their villainy goes against my weak stomach, and therefore I must cast it up. p. 49.

m K. Hen. You may thank love for my blindness, who cannot see many a fair French city, for one fair French maid that stands in my way.

K. Cha. Yes, my lord, you see them perspectively, the cities turned into a maid; for they are all girdled with maiden walls. p. 121.
