Duke Thomas Beaufort of Exeter
- Exeter: [Delivering a message from King Henry to the French King] He bids you then resign your crown and kingdom, indirectly held from him, the native and true challenger.
- French King: Or else what follows?
- Exeter: Bloody constraint. For if you hide the crown, even in your hearts, there will he rake for it. Therefore, in fierce tempest is he coming, in thunder and in earthquake like a Jove that if requiring fail, he will compel. This is his claim, his threatening, and my message. Unless the *Dolphin*
- [intentionally mispronounced]
- Exeter: be in presence here, to whom expressly I bring greeting, too.
- Dauphin: For the *Dauphin*
- [emphasizes the correct pronunciation]
- Dauphin: , I stand here for him. What to him from England?
- Exeter: Scorn and defiance, slight regard, contempt and any thing that may not misbecome the mighty sender, doth he prize you at. Thus says my king.
