Made glorious by this son of York;
And all the clouds that loured upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.”

Thou art so true that thoughts of thee suffice
To make dreams truths and fables histories;
Enter these arms, for since thou thought’st it best
Not to dream all my dream, let’s act the rest.”
