And monarchs to behold the swelling scene!

Assume the port of Mars; and at his heels,
Leash'd in like hounds, should famine, sword
Crouch for employment.

The character of King Henry, or Harry is introduced here.

Explanation:

The excerpt here uses a language that has been used in excess and hyperbole so as to introduce the King Henry.

This is done so first of all as the play is about a king and needs to follow the decorum of the time in introducing a king on to the stage and also to set the stage for the grandeur of his work.

This is what is being achieved here by the work of the prologue which efficiently introduces us to the king in one of the first histories that Shakespeare ever wrote.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

answer: d.she abandons people when they least expect it.

in the monk's tale, we encounter seventeen stories that relate historical events. all of these stories have tragic commonalities. they tell the stories of heroes who, despite their success in life, all met sad ends. the monk blames these sad outcomes on fortune. one of fortune's traits is that she abandons people when they least expect it. this is one of the most common themes of medieval tragedies.
