Henry the Fifth, King of England.
His Royall head no sooner Henry Crowns,But his debaucht associates he disowns:
He showes them now whereto he does incline,
The God of Warre, and not the God of Wine.
He claims his right, & sues for Charls his daughter:
Whilst the proud French retort with scorn & laughter.
In short he did their Towns and Towers so batter,
The French soon found it was no laughing matter.
They sue for Peace, and, the fair Katharine bring,
Who more then all their weapons wounds the King.
They are espous'd, and so conclude the jarrs,
Where Mars & Venus are auspicious Stars.
