The Argument.

Henry the fifth, that onely Man of Men,
Too soone deceased; bright Queene Katherine then,
(Henry the sixt her sonne of tender yeeres,
Fortune so strangely her Affection steeres,
That amongst many, call'd one day to dance
Before the King and her) this Heire of France,
And Englands Dowager; her Eye taken had,
By Owen Tudor, a brave youthfull Lad,
One of her Ward-robe, and from Wales descended:
She, the great good that was to him intended,
To let him know, this Letter doth devise,
Lest that the greatnesse of the enterprise
Should hap to daunt him; but he bold by kind,
Shew'd her, his love was answ'ring to her mind.
