There is division, 20 Although as yet the face of it be covered With mutual cunning, twixt Albany and Cornwall, Who haveas who have not that their great stars Throned and set high?servants, who seem no less, Which are to France the spies and speculations 25 Intelligent of our state. What hath been seen, Either in snuffs and packings of the dukes, Or the hard rein which both of them hath borne Against the old kind king, or something deeper, Whereof perchance these are but furnishings 30 But true it is. From France there comes a power Into this scattered kingdom, who already, Wise in our negligence, have secret feet In some of our best ports and are at point To show their open banner. Now to you. 35 If on my credit you dare build so far To make your speed to Dover, you shall find Some that will thank you, making just report Of how unnatural and bemadding sorrow The king hath cause to plain. 40 I am a gentleman of blood and breeding, And from some knowledge and assurance offer This office to you. | TEKN iSr, I wnko oyu, dna I rsttu uoy hgnoue to rashe nsogtemih yrve nmairtotp wiht uoy. hTseer a defu weeentb nblAay dna aolrnlwC, aoulhght eyveth bnee clrvee eguohn to dihe it hstu raf. kieL ohter leufowpr erlurs, eyht haev ssvntaer how era lltuyaca nhecrF pises in usieigsd. seheT pisse vahe etdncoi mgieonhst, phesarp in teh qbebasslu neteebw yaAlnb dna orlnaClw, or in eht tgohu line thbo of mteh avhe atnek igaatsn eth gdoo old ingk, or ppsaerh in smeo erpede amrtte at eth otro of btho of tseeh rlbTohmpsee tipon is ttha eth Kngi of rnFcae sah ents topsor iont uor dieiddv koidnmg. oeSm Fcrneh sagetn rea dryleaa at krow in uor iman trpos adn rea on hte veerg of gilardenc pnoe rwa. woN isth is ehewr yuo moec in.
