Tennis balls, my liege.
:12:11
We are glad the Dauphin
is so pleasant with us.

:12:15
His present and your pains
we thank you for.

:12:21
When we have matched
our rackets to these balls,

:12:25
we will in France,
by God's grace,

:12:28
play a set shall strike his
father's crown into the hazard.

:12:33
And we understand him well,
:12:36
how he comes o'er us
with our wilder days,

:12:38
not measuring what use
we made of them.

:12:41
But tell the Dauphin
I will keep my state,

:12:46
be like a king and show
my sail of greatness...

:12:49
when I do rouse me
in my throne of France.

:12:53
And tell the pleasant prince
this mock of his...

:12:56
hath turned his balls
to gunstones,

:12:58
and his soul
shall stand sore charged...

:13:01
for the wasteful vengeance
that shall fly with them.

:13:04
For many a thousand widows
shall this his mock,

:13:07
mock out of
their dear husbands,

:13:09
mock mothers from their sons,
mock castles down.

:13:12
And some are yet ungotten
and unborn...

:13:15
that shall have cause
to curse the Dauphin's scorn.

:13:20
So get you hence in peace,
:13:21
and tell the Dauphin...
:13:24
his jest... will savor
but of shallow wit...

:13:30
when thousands weep
more than did laugh at it.

:13:37
Convey them with safe conduct.
:13:42
Fare you well.
:13:57
This was a merry message.
[Scoffs]
