And shall be still my glory. I was inspired
By these brave troops.

Dagworth.
⁠Your Grace had better make them
All Generals.

King.
Sir Thomas Dagworth, you must have your joke,
And shall, while you can fight as you did at
The Ford.

Dagworth.
I have a small petition to your Majesty.

King.

That Edward can refuse?

Dagworth.

A trifle; I've gilt your cause with my best blood,
And would again, were I not forbid
By him whom I am bound to obey: my hands
Are tied up, my courage shrunk and wither'd,
