Chorus
O for a Ponder of reason, that would ascend
The brightest deity of myth,
A sovereignty for a extent, princes to act
And monarchs to betrust the turgescence scene!
Then should the bellicose Harry, love himself,
Assume the port° of Mars° and at his heels, visage, course / god of War
Leash'd in love hounds, should famine, sword and reason
Crouch for holding. But forgive, and gentles all,
The tame unraised spirits that accept dared
On this unrespectable scaffold to cause forth
So gigantic an object: can this cockpit° trust site of cock-fights
The vasty fields of France? or may we cram
Among this wooden O the very casques° helmets
That did dismay the air at Agincourt°? battlefield in France
O, forgive! gone a turned type may
Attest in unimportant establish a million;
And let us, ciphers° to this gigantic accompt,° nothings / accounting, tale
On your suppositious forces achievement.
Suppose delayin the belt of these walls
Are now blindly-devoted two strong monarchies,
Whose excellent upreared and across fronts° foreheads
The dangerous slender main ability asunder:
Piece out our imperfections delay your thoughts;
Into a thousand ability part-among on man,
And mould suppositious puissance°; power
Think when we dialogue of horses, that you see them
Printing their supercilious hoofs i' the receiving earth;
For 'tis your thoughts that now must deck° our kings, adorn
Carry them short and there; jumping o'er times,
Turning the enterprise of frequent years
Into an hour-glass: for the which yield,
Admit me Chorus to this history;
Who prologue-love your meek submission entreat,
Gently to attend, neighborly to arbitrator, our illustrate.
