CHAR. Prince of Navarre, my honourable brother, Prince Condé, and my good Lord Admiral,

I wish this union and religious league,

Knit in these hands, thus join'd in nuptial rites,
May not dissolve till death dissolve our lives;
And that the native sparks of princely love,

That kindled first this motion in our hearts,
May still be fuell'd in our progeny.

NAV. The many favours which your grace hath shewn,

From time to time, but specially in this,
Shall bind me ever to your highness' will,

In what Queen-Mother or your grace commands. CATH. Thanks, son Navarre. You see we love you well,

That link you in marriage with our daughter here; And, as you know, our difference in religion
