• An earnest conjuration from the King,
  As England was his faithful tributary,
  As love between them like the palm might flourish,
  As peace should still her wheaten garland wear
  And stand a comma 'tween their amities,
  And many such-like as's of great charge,
  That, on the view and knowing of these contents,
  Without debatement further, more or less,
  He should the bearers put to sudden death,
  Not shriving time allow'd.

  William Shakespeare
