-O, no; wherein Lord Talbot was o'erthrown:
-The circumstance I'll tell you more at large.
-The tenth of August last this dreadful lord,
-Retiring from the siege of Orleans,
-Having full scarce six thousand in his troop.
-By three and twenty thousand of the French
-Was round encompassed and set upon.
-No leisure had he to enrank his men;
-He wanted pikes to set before his archers;
-Instead whereof sharp stakes pluck'd out of hedges
-They pitched in the ground confusedly,
-To keep the horsemen off from breaking in.
-More than three hours the fight continued;
-Where valiant Talbot above human thought
-Enacted wonders with his sword and lance:
-Hundreds he sent to hell, and none durst stand him;
-Here, there, and every where, enraged he flew:
-The French exclaim'd, the devil was in arms;
-All the whole army stood agazed on him:
-His soldiers spying his undaunted spirit
-A Talbot! a Talbot! cried out amain
-And rush'd into the bowels of the battle.
-Here had the conquest fully been seal'd up,
-If Sir John Fastolfe had not play'd the coward:
-He, being in the vaward, placed behind
-With purpose to relieve and follow them,
-Cowardly fled, not having struck one stroke.
-Hence grew the general wreck and massacre;
-Enclosed were they with their enemies:
-A base Walloon, to win the Dauphin's grace,
-Thrust Talbot with a spear into the back,
-Whom all France with their chief assembled strength
-Durst not presume to look once in the face.

SCENE I. London. The Parliament-house.

Flourish. Enter KING HENRY VI, EXETER, GLOUCESTER, WARWICK, SOMERSET, and SUFFOLK; the BISHOP OF WINCHESTER, RICHARD PLANTAGENET, and others. GLOUCESTER offers to put up a bill; BISHOP OF WINCHESTER snatches it, and tears it

SCENE I. Coventry.

-

- -

Enter WARWICK, the Mayor of Coventry, two Messengers, and others upon the walls
-

WARWICK -

Where is the post that came from valiant Oxford?
-How far hence is thy lord, mine honest fellow?
-
-
-

First Messenger -

By this at Dunsmore, marching hitherward.
-
-

WARWICK -

How far off is our brother Montague?
-Where is the post that came from Montague?
-
-
-

Second Messenger -

By this at Daintry, with a puissant troop.
-
-
Enter SIR JOHN SOMERVILLE
-

WARWICK -

Say, Somerville, what says my loving son?
-And, by thy guess, how nigh is Clarence now?
-
-
-

SOMERSET -

At Southam I did leave him with his forces,
-And do expect him here some two hours hence.
-
-
-
Drum heard
-

WARWICK -

Then Clarence is at hand, I hear his drum.
-
-

SOMERSET -

It is not his, my lord; here Southam lies:
-The drum your honour hears marcheth from Warwick.
-
-
-

WARWICK -

Who should that be? belike, unlook'd-for friends.
-
-

SOMERSET -

They are at hand, and you shall quickly know.
-
-
March: flourish. Enter KING EDWARD IV, GLOUCESTER, and soldiers
-

KING EDWARD IV -

Go, trumpet, to the walls, and sound a parle.
-
-

GLOUCESTER -

See how the surly Warwick mans the wall!
-
-

WARWICK -

O unbid spite! is sportful Edward come?
-Where slept our scouts, or how are they seduced,
-That we could hear no news of his repair?
-
-
-

KING EDWARD IV -

Now, Warwick, wilt thou ope the city gates,
-Speak gentle words and humbly bend thy knee,
-Call Edward king and at his hands beg mercy?
-And he shall pardon thee these outrages.
-
-
-

WARWICK -

Nay, rather, wilt thou draw thy forces hence,
-Confess who set thee up and pluck'd thee own,
-Call Warwick patron and be penitent?
-And thou shalt still remain the Duke of York.
-
-
-

GLOUCESTER -

I thought, at least, he would have said the king;
-Or did he make the jest against his will?
-
-
-

WARWICK -

Is not a dukedom, sir, a goodly gift?
-
-

GLOUCESTER -

Ay, by my faith, for a poor earl to give:
-I'll do thee service for so good a gift.
-
-
-

WARWICK -

'Twas I that gave the kingdom to thy brother.
-
-

KING EDWARD IV -

Why then 'tis mine, if but by Warwick's gift.
-
-

WARWICK -

Thou art no Atlas for so great a weight:
-And weakling, Warwick takes his gift again;
-And Henry is my king, Warwick his subject.
-
-
-

KING EDWARD IV -

But Warwick's king is Edward's prisoner:
-And, gallant Warwick, do but answer this:
-What is the body when the head is off?
-
-
-

GLOUCESTER -

Alas, that Warwick had no more forecast,
-But, whiles he thought to steal the single ten,
-The king was slily finger'd from the deck!
-You left poor Henry at the Bishop's palace,
-And, ten to one, you'll meet him in the Tower.
-
-
-

EDWARD -

'Tis even so; yet you are Warwick still.
-
-

GLOUCESTER -

Come, Warwick, take the time; kneel down, kneel down:
-Nay, when? strike now, or else the iron cools.
-
-
-

WARWICK -

I had rather chop this hand off at a blow,
-And with the other fling it at thy face,
-Than bear so low a sail, to strike to thee.
-
-
-

KING EDWARD IV -

Sail how thou canst, have wind and tide thy friend,
-This hand, fast wound about thy coal-black hair
-Shall, whiles thy head is warm and new cut off,
-Write in the dust this sentence with thy blood,
-'Wind-changing Warwick now can change no more.'
-
-
-
Enter OXFORD, with drum and colours
-

WARWICK -

O cheerful colours! see where Oxford comes!
-
-

OXFORD -

Oxford, Oxford, for Lancaster!
-
-
He and his forces enter the city
-

GLOUCESTER -

The gates are open, let us enter too.
-
-

KING EDWARD IV -

So other foes may set upon our backs.
-Stand we in good array; for they no doubt
-Will issue out again and bid us battle:
-If not, the city being but of small defence,
-We'll quickly rouse the traitors in the same.
-
-
-

WARWICK -

O, welcome, Oxford! for we want thy help.
-
-
Enter MONTAGUE with drum and colours
-

MONTAGUE -

Montague, Montague, for Lancaster!
-
-
He and his forces enter the city
-

GLOUCESTER -

Thou and thy brother both shall buy this treason
-Even with the dearest blood your bodies bear.
-
-
-

KING EDWARD IV -

The harder match'd, the greater victory:
-My mind presageth happy gain and conquest.
-
-
-
Enter SOMERSET, with drum and colours
-

SOMERSET -

Somerset, Somerset, for Lancaster!
-
-
He and his forces enter the city
-

GLOUCESTER -

Two of thy name, both Dukes of Somerset,
-Have sold their lives unto the house of York;
-And thou shalt be the third if this sword hold.
-
-
-
Enter CLARENCE, with drum and colours
-

WARWICK -

And lo, where George of Clarence sweeps along,
-Of force enough to bid his brother battle;
-With whom an upright zeal to right prevails
-More than the nature of a brother's love!
-Come, Clarence, come; thou wilt, if Warwick call.
-
-
-

CLARENCE -

Father of Warwick, know you what this means?
-
-
Taking his red rose out of his hat
-
-Look here, I throw my infamy at thee
-I will not ruinate my father's house,
-Who gave his blood to lime the stones together,
-And set up Lancaster. Why, trow'st thou, Warwick,
-That Clarence is so harsh, so blunt, unnatural,
-To bend the fatal instruments of war
-Against his brother and his lawful king?
-Perhaps thou wilt object my holy oath:
-To keep that oath were more impiety
-Than Jephthah's, when he sacrificed his daughter.
-I am so sorry for my trespass made
-That, to deserve well at my brother's hands,
-I here proclaim myself thy mortal foe,
-With resolution, wheresoe'er I meet thee--
-As I will meet thee, if thou stir abroad--
-To plague thee for thy foul misleading me.
-And so, proud-hearted Warwick, I defy thee,
-And to my brother turn my blushing cheeks.
-Pardon me, Edward, I will make amends:
-And, Richard, do not frown upon my faults,
-For I will henceforth be no more unconstant.
-
-
-

KING EDWARD IV -

Now welcome more, and ten times more beloved,
-Than if thou never hadst deserved our hate.
-
-
-

GLOUCESTER -

Welcome, good Clarence; this is brotherlike.
-
-

WARWICK -

O passing traitor, perjured and unjust!
-
-

KING EDWARD IV -

What, Warwick, wilt thou leave the town and fight?
-Or shall we beat the stones about thine ears?
-
-
-

WARWICK -

Alas, I am not coop'd here for defence!
-I will away towards Barnet presently,
-And bid thee battle, Edward, if thou darest.
-
-
-

KING EDWARD IV -

Yes, Warwick, Edward dares, and leads the way.
-Lords, to the field; Saint George and victory!
-
-

SCENE II. A field of battle near Barnet.

Alarum and excursions. Enter KING EDWARD IV, bringing forth WARWICK wounded
-

KING EDWARD IV -

So, lie thou there: die thou, and die our fear;
-For Warwick was a bug that fear'd us all.
-Now, Montague, sit fast; I seek for thee,
-That Warwick's bones may keep thine company.

Exit
-

WARWICK -

Ah, who is nigh? come to me, friend or foe,
-And tell me who is victor, York or Warwick?
-Why ask I that? my mangled body shows,
-My blood, my want of strength, my sick heart shows.
-That I must yield my body to the earth
-And, by my fall, the conquest to my foe.
-Thus yields the cedar to the axe's edge,
-Whose arms gave shelter to the princely eagle,
-Under whose shade the ramping lion slept,
-Whose top-branch overpeer'd Jove's spreading tree
-And kept low shrubs from winter's powerful wind.
-These eyes, that now are dimm'd with death's black veil,
-Have been as piercing as the mid-day sun,

SOMERSET -

Ah, Warwick, Warwick! wert thou as we are.
-We might recover all our loss again;
-The queen from France hath brought a puissant power:
-Even now we heard the news: ah, could'st thou fly!
-
-
-

WARWICK -

Why, then I would not fly. Ah, Montague,
-If thou be there, sweet brother, take my hand.
-And with thy lips keep in my soul awhile!
-Thou lovest me not; for, brother, if thou didst,
-Thy tears would wash this cold congealed blood
-That glues my lips and will not let me speak.
-Come quickly, Montague, or I am dead.
-
-
-

SOMERSET -

Ah, Warwick! Montague hath breathed his last;
-And to the latest gasp cried out for Warwick,
-And said 'Commend me to my valiant brother.'
-And more he would have said, and more he spoke,
-Which sounded like a clamour in a vault,
-That mought not be distinguished; but at last
-I well might hear, delivered with a groan,
-'O, farewell, Warwick!'

WARWICK -

Sweet rest his soul! Fly, lords, and save yourselves;
-For Warwick bids you all farewell to meet in heaven.

Alarum and excursions. Enter KING EDWARD IV, bringing forth WARWICK wounded +

+So, lie thou there: die thou, and die our fear;
+For Warwick was a bug that fear'd us all.
+Now, Montague, sit fast; I seek for thee,

Exit
+ +WARWICK +
+Ah, who is nigh? come to me, friend or foe,
+And tell me who is victor, York or Warwick?
+Why ask I that? my mangled body shows,
+My blood, my want of strength, my sick heart shows.
+That I must yield my body to the earth
+And, by my fall, the conquest to my foe.
+Thus yields the cedar to the axe's edge,
+Whose arms gave shelter to the princely eagle,
+Under whose shade the ramping lion slept,
+Whose top-branch overpeer'd Jove's spreading tree
+And kept low shrubs from winter's powerful wind.
+These eyes, that now are dimm'd with death's black veil,
+Have been as piercing as the mid-day sun,
+To search the secret treasons of the world:
+The wrinkles in my brows, now filled with blood,

KING EDWARD IV -

Thus far our fortune keeps an upward course,

The queen is valued thirty thousand strong,

March. Enter QUEEN MARGARET, PRINCE EDWARD, SOMERSET, OXFORD, and soldiers
-

QUEEN MARGARET -

Great lords, wise men ne'er sit and wail their loss,
-But cheerly seek how to redress their harms.
-What though the mast be now blown overboard,
-The cable broke, the holding-anchor lost,
-And half our sailors swallow'd in the flood?
-Yet lives our pilot still. Is't meet that he
-Should leave the helm and like a fearful lad
-With tearful eyes add water to the sea
-And give more strength to that which hath too much,
-Whiles, in his moan, the ship splits on the rock,
-Which industry and courage might have saved?
-Ah, what a shame! ah, what a fault were this!
-Say Warwick was our anchor; what of that?
-And Montague our topmost; what of him?
-Our slaughter'd friends the tackles; what of these?
-Why, is not Oxford here another anchor?
-And Somerset another goodly mast?
-The friends of France our shrouds and tacklings?
-And, though unskilful, why not Ned and I
-For once allow'd the skilful pilot's charge?
-We will not from the helm to sit and weep,
-But keep our course, though the rough wind say no,
-From shelves and rocks that threaten us with wreck.
-As good to chide the waves as speak them fair.
-And what is Edward but ruthless sea?
-What Clarence but a quicksand of deceit?
-And Richard but a ragged fatal rock?
-All these the enemies to our poor bark.
-Say you can swim; alas, 'tis but a while!
-Tread on the sand; why, there you quickly sink:
-Bestride the rock; the tide will wash you off,
-Or else you famish; that's a threefold death.
-This speak I, lords, to let you understand,
-If case some one of you would fly from us,
-That there's no hoped-for mercy with the brothers
-More than with ruthless waves, with sands and rocks.
-Why, courage then! what cannot be avoided
-'Twere childish weakness to lament or fear.
-
-
-

PRINCE EDWARD -

Methinks a woman of this valiant spirit
-Should, if a coward heard her speak these words,
-Infuse his breast with magnanimity
-And make him, naked, foil a man at arms.
-I speak not this as doubting any here
-For did I but suspect a fearful man
-He should have leave to go away betimes,
-Lest in our need he might infect another
-And make him of like spirit to himself.
-If any such be here--as God forbid!--
-Let him depart before we need his help.
-
-
-

OXFORD -

Women and children of so high a courage,
-And warriors faint! why, 'twere perpetual shame.
-O brave young prince! thy famous grandfather
-Doth live again in thee: long mayst thou live
-To bear his image and renew his glories!
-
-
-

SOMERSET -

And he that will not fight for such a hope.
-Go home to bed, and like the owl by day,
-If he arise, be mock'd and wonder'd at.
-

QUEEN MARGARET -

Thanks, gentle Somerset; sweet Oxford, thanks.

PRINCE EDWARD -

And take his thanks that yet hath nothing else.

Messenger -

Prepare you, lords, for Edward is at hand.

I thought no less: it is his policy
-To haste thus fast, to find us unprovided.

SOMERSET -

But he's deceived; we are in readiness.

QUEEN MARGARET -

This cheers my heart, to see your forwardness.

Flourish and march. Enter KING EDWARD IV, GLOUCESTER, CLARENCE, and soldiers

KING EDWARD IV -

Brave followers, yonder stands the thorny wood,
-Which, by the heavens' assistance and your strength,
-Must by the roots be hewn up yet ere night.
-I need not add more fuel to your fire,
-For well I wot ye blaze to burn them out
-Give signal to the fight, and to it, lords!
-
-
-

QUEEN MARGARET -

Lords, knights, and gentlemen, what I should say
-My tears gainsay; for every word I speak,
-Ye see, I drink the water of mine eyes.
-Therefore, no more but this: Henry, your sovereign,
-Is prisoner to the foe; his state usurp'd,
-His realm a slaughter-house, his subjects slain,
-His statutes cancell'd and his treasure spent;
-And yonder is the wolf that makes this spoil.
-You fight in justice: then, in God's name, lords,
-Be valiant and give signal to the fight.

-Canst thou not speak? O traitors! murderers!
-They that stabb'd Caesar shed no blood at all,
-Did not offend, nor were not worthy blame,
-If this foul deed were by to equal it:
-He was a man; this, in respect, a child:
-And men ne'er spend their fury on a child.
-What's worse than murderer, that I may name it?
-No, no, my heart will burst, and if I speak:
-And I will speak, that so my heart may burst.
-Butchers and villains! bloody cannibals!
-How sweet a plant have you untimely cropp'd!
-You have no children, butchers! if you had,
-The thought of them would have stirr'd up remorse:
-But if you ever chance to have a child,
-Look in his youth to have him so cut off
-As, deathmen, you have rid this sweet young prince!
-
-
-

KING EDWARD IV -

Away with her; go, bear her hence perforce.
-
-

QUEEN MARGARET -

Nay, never bear me hence, dispatch me here,
-Here sheathe thy sword, I'll pardon thee my death:
-What, wilt thou not? then, Clarence, do it thou.

By heaven, I will not do thee so much ease.

Good Clarence, do; sweet Clarence, do thou do it.
-
-

CLARENCE -

Didst thou not hear me swear I would not do it?
-
-

QUEEN MARGARET -

Ay, but thou usest to forswear thyself:
-'Twas sin before, but now 'tis charity.
-What, wilt thou not? Where is that devil's butcher,
-Hard-favour'd Richard? Richard, where art thou?
-Thou art not here: murder is thy alms-deed;

To London, all in post; and, as I guess,

KING EDWARD IV -

He's sudden, if a thing comes in his head.

+I am your better, traitors as ye are:
+And thou usurp'st my father's right and mine.
+
+ +KING EDWARD IV +
+Take that, thou likeness of this railer here.
+
+ +
Stabs him
+ +GLOUCESTER +
+Sprawl'st thou? take that, to end thy agony.
+
+ +
Stabs him
+ +CLARENCE +
+And there's for twitting me with perjury.
+
+ +
Stabs him
+ +QUEEN MARGARET +
+O, kill me too!
+
+ +GLOUCESTER +
+Marry, and shall.
+
+ +
Offers to kill her
+ +KING EDWARD IV +
+Hold, Richard, hold; for we have done too much.
+
+ +GLOUCESTER +
+Why should she live, to fill the world with words?
+
+ +KING EDWARD IV +
+What, doth she swoon? use means for her recovery.
+
+ +GLOUCESTER +
+Clarence, excuse me to the king my brother;
+I'll hence to London on a serious matter:
+Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news.
+
+ +CLARENCE +
+What? what?
+
+ +GLOUCESTER +
+The Tower, the Tower.
+
+ +
Exit
+ +QUEEN MARGARET +
+O Ned, sweet Ned! speak to thy mother, boy!
+Canst thou not speak? O traitors! murderers!
+They that stabb'd Caesar shed no blood at all,
+Did not offend, nor were not worthy blame,
+If this foul deed were by to equal it:
+He was a man; this, in respect, a child:
+And men ne'er spend their fury on a child.
+What's worse than murderer, that I may name it?
+No, no, my heart will burst, and if I speak:
+And I will speak, that so my heart may burst
+Butchers and villains! bloody cannibals!
+How sweet a plant have you untimely cropp'd!
+You have no children, butchers! if you had,
+The thought of them would have stirr'd up remorse
+But if you ever chance to have a child,
+Look in his youth to have him so cut off
+As, deathmen, you have rid this sweet young prince!
+
+ +KING EDWARD IV +
+Away with her; go, bear her hence perforce.
+
+ +QUEEN MARGARET +
+Nay, never bear me hence, dispatch me here,
+Here sheathe thy sword, I'll pardon thee my death:
+What, wilt thou not? then, Clarence, do it thou.
+
+ +CLARENCE +
+By heaven, I will not do thee so much ease.
+
+ +QUEEN MARGARET +
+Good Clarence, do; sweet Clarence, do thou do it.
+
+ +CLARENCE +
+Didst thou not hear me swear I would not do it?
+
+ +QUEEN MARGARET +
+Ay, but thou usest to forswear thyself:
+'Twas sin before, but now 'tis charity.
+What, wilt thou not? Where is that devil's butcher,
+Hard-favour'd Richard? Richard, where art thou?
+Thou art not here: murder is thy alms-deed;
+Petitioners for blood thou ne'er put'st back.
+
+ +KING EDWARD IV +
+Away, I say; I charge ye, bear her hence.
+
+ +QUEEN MARGARET +
+So come to you and yours, as to this Prince!
+
+ +
Exit, led out forcibly
+ +KING EDWARD IV +
+Where's Richard gone?
+
+ +CLARENCE +
+To London, all in post; and, as I guess,
+To make a bloody supper in the Tower.
+
+ +KING EDWARD IV +
+He's sudden, if a thing comes in his head.
+Now march we hence: discharge the common sort
+With pay and thanks, and let's away to London
+And see our gentle queen how well she fares:
+By this, I hope, she hath a son for me.

SCENE VI. London. The Tower.

-

-

Enter KING HENRY VI and GLOUCESTER, with the Lieutenant, on the walls
-

GLOUCESTER -

Good day, my lord. What, at your book so hard?
-
-

KING HENRY VI -

Ay, my good lord:--my lord, I should say rather;
-'Tis sin to flatter; 'good' was little better:
-'Good Gloucester' and 'good devil' were alike,
-And both preposterous; therefore, not 'good lord.'
-
-
-

GLOUCESTER -

Sirrah, leave us to ourselves: we must confer.
-
-
Exit Lieutenant
-

KING HENRY VI -

So flies the reckless shepherd from the wolf;
-So first the harmless sheep doth yield his fleece
-And next his throat unto the butcher's knife.
-What scene of death hath Roscius now to act?
-
-
-

GLOUCESTER -

Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind;
-The thief doth fear each bush an officer.
-
-
-

KING HENRY VI -

The bird that hath been limed in a bush,
-With trembling wings misdoubteth every bush;
-And I, the hapless male to one sweet bird,
-Have now the fatal object in my eye
-Where my poor young was limed, was caught and kill'd.
-
-
-

GLOUCESTER -

Why, what a peevish fool was that of Crete,
-That taught his son the office of a fowl!
-An yet, for all his wings, the fool was drown'd.
-
-
-

KING HENRY VI -

I, Daedalus; my poor boy, Icarus;
-Thy father, Minos, that denied our course;
-The sun that sear'd the wings of my sweet boy
-Thy brother Edward, and thyself the sea
-Whose envious gulf did swallow up his life.
-Ah, kill me with thy weapon, not with words!
-My breast can better brook thy dagger's point
-Than can my ears that tragic history.
-But wherefore dost thou come? is't for my life?
-
-
-

GLOUCESTER -

Think'st thou I am an executioner?
-
-

KING HENRY VI -

A persecutor, I am sure, thou art:
-If murdering innocents be executing,
-Why, then thou art an executioner.
-
-
-

GLOUCESTER -

Thy son I kill'd for his presumption.
-
-

KING HENRY VI -

Hadst thou been kill'd when first thou didst presume,
-Thou hadst not lived to kill a son of mine.
-And thus I prophesy, that many a thousand,
-Which now mistrust no parcel of my fear,
-And many an old man's sigh and many a widow's,
-And many an orphan's water-standing eye--
-Men for their sons, wives for their husbands,
-And orphans for their parents timeless death--
-Shall rue the hour that ever thou wast born.
-The owl shriek'd at thy birth,--an evil sign;
-The night-crow cried, aboding luckless time;
-Dogs howl'd, and hideous tempest shook down trees;
-The raven rook'd her on the chimney's top,
-And chattering pies in dismal discords sung.
-Thy mother felt more than a mother's pain,
-And, yet brought forth less than a mother's hope,
-To wit, an indigested and deformed lump,
-Not like the fruit of such a goodly tree.
-Teeth hadst thou in thy head when thou wast born,
-To signify thou camest to bite the world:
-And, if the rest be true which I have heard,
-Thou camest--
-
-
-

GLOUCESTER -

I'll hear no more: die, prophet in thy speech:
-
-
Stabs him
-
-For this amongst the rest, was I ordain'd.
-
-
-

KING HENRY VI -

Ay, and for much more slaughter after this.
-God forgive my sins, and pardon thee!
-
-
-
Dies
-

GLOUCESTER -

What, will the aspiring blood of Lancaster
-Sink in the ground? I thought it would have mounted.
-See how my sword weeps for the poor king's death!
-O, may such purple tears be alway shed
-From those that wish the downfall of our house!
-If any spark of life be yet remaining,
-Down, down to hell; and say I sent thee thither:
-
-
-
Stabs him again
-
-I, that have neither pity, love, nor fear.
-Indeed, 'tis true that Henry told me of;
-For I have often heard my mother say
-I came into the world with my legs forward:
-Had I not reason, think ye, to make haste,
-And seek their ruin that usurp'd our right?
-The midwife wonder'd and the women cried
-'O, Jesus bless us, he is born with teeth!'
-And so I was; which plainly signified
-That I should snarl and bite and play the dog.
-Then, since the heavens have shaped my body so,
-Let hell make crook'd my mind to answer it.
-I have no brother, I am like no brother;
-And this word 'love,' which graybeards call divine,
-Be resident in men like one another
-And not in me: I am myself alone.
-Clarence, beware; thou keep'st me from the light:
-But I will sort a pitchy day for thee;
-For I will buz abroad such prophecies
-That Edward shall be fearful of his life,
-And then, to purge his fear, I'll be thy death.
-King Henry and the prince his son are gone:
-Clarence, thy turn is next, and then the rest,
-Counting myself but bad till I be best.
-I'll throw thy body in another room
-And triumph, Henry, in thy day of doom.

-Enter KING HENRY, LORD JOHN OF LANCASTER, the EARL of WESTMORELAND, SIR WALTER BLUNT, and others -
- -KING HENRY IV -
-So shaken as we are, so wan with care,
-Find we a time for frighted peace to pant,
-And breathe short-winded accents of new broils
-To be commenced in strands afar remote.
-No more the thirsty entrance of this soil
-Shall daub her lips with her own children's blood;
-Nor more shall trenching war channel her fields,
-Nor bruise her flowerets with the armed hoofs
-Of hostile paces: those opposed eyes,
-Which, like the meteors of a troubled heaven,
-All of one nature, of one substance bred,
-Did lately meet in the intestine shock
-And furious close of civil butchery
-Shall now, in mutual well-beseeming ranks,
-March all one way and be no more opposed
-Against acquaintance, kindred and allies:
-The edge of war, like an ill-sheathed knife,
-No more shall cut his master. Therefore, friends,
-As far as to the sepulchre of Christ,
-Whose soldier now, under whose blessed cross
-We are impressed and engaged to fight,
-Forthwith a power of English shall we levy;
-Whose arms were moulded in their mothers' womb
-To chase these pagans in those holy fields
-Over whose acres walk'd those blessed feet
-Which fourteen hundred years ago were nail'd
-For our advantage on the bitter cross.
-But this our purpose now is twelve month old,
-And bootless 'tis to tell you we will go:
-Therefore we meet not now. Then let me hear
-Of you, my gentle cousin Westmoreland,
-What yesternight our council did decree
-In forwarding this dear expedience.
-
- -WESTMORELAND -
-My liege, this haste was hot in question,
-And many limits of the charge set down
-But yesternight: when all athwart there came
-A post from Wales loaden with heavy news;
-Whose worst was, that the noble Mortimer,
-Leading the men of Herefordshire to fight
-Against the irregular and wild Glendower,
-Was by the rude hands of that Welshman taken,
-A thousand of his people butchered;
-Upon whose dead corpse there was such misuse,
-Such beastly shameless transformation,
-By those Welshwomen done as may not be
-Without much shame retold or spoken of.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-It seems then that the tidings of this broil
-Brake off our business for the Holy Land.
-
- -WESTMORELAND -
-This match'd with other did, my gracious lord;
-For more uneven and unwelcome news
-Came from the north and thus it did import:
-On Holy-rood day, the gallant Hotspur there,
-Young Harry Percy and brave Archibald,
-That ever-valiant and approved Scot,
-At Holmedon met,
-Where they did spend a sad and bloody hour,
-As by discharge of their artillery,
-And shape of likelihood, the news was told;
-For he that brought them, in the very heat
-And pride of their contention did take horse,
-Uncertain of the issue any way.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Here is a dear, a true industrious friend,
-Sir Walter Blunt, new lighted from his horse.
-Stain'd with the variation of each soil
-Betwixt that Holmedon and this seat of ours;
-And he hath brought us smooth and welcome news.
-The Earl of Douglas is discomfited:
-Ten thousand bold Scots, two and twenty knights,
-Balk'd in their own blood did Sir Walter see
-On Holmedon's plains. Of prisoners, Hotspur took
-Mordake the Earl of Fife, and eldest son
-To beaten Douglas; and the Earl of Athol,
-Of Murray, Angus, and Menteith:
-And is not this an honourable spoil?
-A gallant prize? ha, cousin, is it not?
-
- -WESTMORELAND -
-In faith,
-It is a conquest for a prince to boast of.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Yea, there thou makest me sad and makest me sin
-In envy that my Lord Northumberland
-Should be the father to so blest a son,
-A son who is the theme of honour's tongue;
-Amongst a grove, the very straightest plant;
-Who is sweet Fortune's minion and her pride:
-Whilst I, by looking on the praise of him,
-See riot and dishonour stain the brow
-Of my young Harry. O that it could be proved
-That some night-tripping fairy had exchanged
-In cradle-clothes our children where they lay,
-And call'd mine Percy, his Plantagenet!
-Then would I have his Harry, and he mine.
-But let him from my thoughts. What think you, coz,
-Of this young Percy's pride? the prisoners,
-Which he in this adventure hath surprised,
-To his own use he keeps; and sends me word,
-I shall have none but Mordake Earl of Fife.
-
- -WESTMORELAND -
-This is his uncle's teaching; this is Worcester,
-Malevolent to you in all aspects;
-Which makes him prune himself, and bristle up
-The crest of youth against your dignity.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-But I have sent for him to answer this;
-And for this cause awhile we must neglect
-Our holy purpose to Jerusalem.
-Cousin, on Wednesday next our council we
-Will hold at Windsor; so inform the lords:
-But come yourself with speed to us again;
-For more is to be said and to be done
-Than out of anger can be uttered.
-
- -WESTMORELAND -
-I will, my liege.

SCENE II. London. An apartment of the Prince's.

- -

-Enter the PRINCE OF WALES and FALSTAFF -
- -FALSTAFF -
-Now, Hal, what time of day is it, lad?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Thou art so fat-witted, with drinking of old sack
-and unbuttoning thee after supper and sleeping upon
-benches after noon, that thou hast forgotten to
-demand that truly which thou wouldst truly know.
-What a devil hast thou to do with the time of the
-day? Unless hours were cups of sack and minutes
-capons and clocks the tongues of bawds and dials the
-signs of leaping-houses and the blessed sun himself
-a fair hot wench in flame-coloured taffeta, I see no
-reason why thou shouldst be so superfluous to demand
-the time of the day.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Indeed, you come near me now, Hal; for we that take
-purses go by the moon and the seven stars, and not
-by Phoebus, he,'that wandering knight so fair.' And,
-I prithee, sweet wag, when thou art king, as, God
-save thy grace,--majesty I should say, for grace
-thou wilt have none,--
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What, none?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-No, by my troth, not so much as will serve to
-prologue to an egg and butter.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Well, how then? come, roundly, roundly.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Marry, then, sweet wag, when thou art king, let not
-us that are squires of the night's body be called
-thieves of the day's beauty: let us be Diana's
-foresters, gentlemen of the shade, minions of the
-moon; and let men say we be men of good government,
-being governed, as the sea is, by our noble and
-chaste mistress the moon, under whose countenance we steal.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Thou sayest well, and it holds well too; for the
-fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and
-flow like the sea, being governed, as the sea is,
-by the moon. As, for proof, now: a purse of gold
-most resolutely snatched on Monday night and most
-dissolutely spent on Tuesday morning; got with
-swearing 'Lay by' and spent with crying 'Bring in;'
-now in as low an ebb as the foot of the ladder
-and by and by in as high a flow as the ridge of the gallows.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-By the Lord, thou sayest true, lad. And is not my
-hostess of the tavern a most sweet wench?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-As the honey of Hybla, my old lad of the castle. And
-is not a buff jerkin a most sweet robe of durance?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-How now, how now, mad wag! what, in thy quips and
-thy quiddities? what a plague have I to do with a
-buff jerkin?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Why, what a pox have I to do with my hostess of the tavern?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Well, thou hast called her to a reckoning many a
-time and oft.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Did I ever call for thee to pay thy part?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-No; I'll give thee thy due, thou hast paid all there.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Yea, and elsewhere, so far as my coin would stretch;
-and where it would not, I have used my credit.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Yea, and so used it that were it not here apparent
-that thou art heir apparent--But, I prithee, sweet
-wag, shall there be gallows standing in England when
-thou art king? and resolution thus fobbed as it is
-with the rusty curb of old father antic the law? Do
-not thou, when thou art king, hang a thief.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-No; thou shalt.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Shall I? O rare! By the Lord, I'll be a brave judge.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Thou judgest false already: I mean, thou shalt have
-the hanging of the thieves and so become a rare hangman.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Well, Hal, well; and in some sort it jumps with my
-humour as well as waiting in the court, I can tell
-you.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-For obtaining of suits?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Yea, for obtaining of suits, whereof the hangman
-hath no lean wardrobe. 'Sblood, I am as melancholy
-as a gib cat or a lugged bear.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Or an old lion, or a lover's lute.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Yea, or the drone of a Lincolnshire bagpipe.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What sayest thou to a hare, or the melancholy of
-Moor-ditch?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Thou hast the most unsavoury similes and art indeed
-the most comparative, rascalliest, sweet young
-prince. But, Hal, I prithee, trouble me no more
-with vanity. I would to God thou and I knew where a
-commodity of good names were to be bought. An old
-lord of the council rated me the other day in the
-street about you, sir, but I marked him not; and yet
-he talked very wisely, but I regarded him not; and
-yet he talked wisely, and in the street too.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Thou didst well; for wisdom cries out in the
-streets, and no man regards it.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-O, thou hast damnable iteration and art indeed able
-to corrupt a saint. Thou hast done much harm upon
-me, Hal; God forgive thee for it! Before I knew
-thee, Hal, I knew nothing; and now am I, if a man
-should speak truly, little better than one of the
-wicked. I must give over this life, and I will give
-it over: by the Lord, and I do not, I am a villain:
-I'll be damned for never a king's son in
-Christendom.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Where shall we take a purse tomorrow, Jack?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-'Zounds, where thou wilt, lad; I'll make one; an I
-do not, call me villain and baffle me.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I see a good amendment of life in thee; from praying
-to purse-taking.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Why, Hal, 'tis my vocation, Hal; 'tis no sin for a
-man to labour in his vocation.
-

Enter POINS

-Poins! Now shall we know if Gadshill have set a
-match. O, if men were to be saved by merit, what
-hole in hell were hot enough for him? This is the
-most omnipotent villain that ever cried 'Stand' to
-a true man.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Good morrow, Ned.
-
- -POINS -
-Good morrow, sweet Hal. What says Monsieur Remorse?
-what says Sir John Sack and Sugar? Jack! how
-agrees the devil and thee about thy soul, that thou
-soldest him on Good-Friday last for a cup of Madeira
-and a cold capon's leg?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Sir John stands to his word, the devil shall have
-his bargain; for he was never yet a breaker of
-proverbs: he will give the devil his due.
-
- -POINS -
-Then art thou damned for keeping thy word with the devil.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Else he had been damned for cozening the devil.
-
- -POINS -
-But, my lads, my lads, to-morrow morning, by four
-o'clock, early at Gadshill! there are pilgrims going
-to Canterbury with rich offerings, and traders
-riding to London with fat purses: I have vizards
-for you all; you have horses for yourselves:
-Gadshill lies to-night in Rochester: I have bespoke
-supper to-morrow night in Eastcheap: we may do it
-as secure as sleep. If you will go, I will stuff
-your purses full of crowns; if you will not, tarry
-at home and be hanged.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Hear ye, Yedward; if I tarry at home and go not,
-I'll hang you for going.
-
- -POINS -
-You will, chops?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Hal, wilt thou make one?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Who, I rob? I a thief? not I, by my faith.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-There's neither honesty, manhood, nor good
-fellowship in thee, nor thou camest not of the blood
-royal, if thou darest not stand for ten shillings.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Well then, once in my days I'll be a madcap.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Why, that's well said.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Well, come what will, I'll tarry at home.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-By the Lord, I'll be a traitor then, when thou art king.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I care not.
-
- -POINS -
-Sir John, I prithee, leave the prince and me alone:
-I will lay him down such reasons for this adventure
-that he shall go.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Well, God give thee the spirit of persuasion and him
-the ears of profiting, that what thou speakest may
-move and what he hears may be believed, that the
-true prince may, for recreation sake, prove a false
-thief; for the poor abuses of the time want
-countenance. Farewell: you shall find me in Eastcheap.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Farewell, thou latter spring! farewell, All-hallown summer!
-

Exit Falstaff

-
- -POINS -
-Now, my good sweet honey lord, ride with us
-to-morrow: I have a jest to execute that I cannot
-manage alone. Falstaff, Bardolph, Peto and Gadshill
-shall rob those men that we have already waylaid:
-yourself and I will not be there; and when they
-have the booty, if you and I do not rob them, cut
-this head off from my shoulders.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-How shall we part with them in setting forth?
-
- -POINS -
-Why, we will set forth before or after them, and
-appoint them a place of meeting, wherein it is at
-our pleasure to fail, and then will they adventure
-upon the exploit themselves; which they shall have
-no sooner achieved, but we'll set upon them.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Yea, but 'tis like that they will know us by our
-horses, by our habits and by every other
-appointment, to be ourselves.
-
- -POINS -
-Tut! our horses they shall not see: I'll tie them
-in the wood; our vizards we will change after we
-leave them: and, sirrah, I have cases of buckram
-for the nonce, to immask our noted outward garments.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Yea, but I doubt they will be too hard for us.
-
- -POINS -
-Well, for two of them, I know them to be as
-true-bred cowards as ever turned back; and for the
-third, if he fight longer than he sees reason, I'll
-forswear arms. The virtue of this jest will be, the
-incomprehensible lies that this same fat rogue will
-tell us when we meet at supper: how thirty, at
-least, he fought with; what wards, what blows, what
-extremities he endured; and in the reproof of this
-lies the jest.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Well, I'll go with thee: provide us all things
-necessary and meet me to-morrow night in Eastcheap;
-there I'll sup. Farewell.
-
- -POINS -
-Farewell, my lord.
-

Exit Poins

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I know you all, and will awhile uphold
-The unyoked humour of your idleness:
-Yet herein will I imitate the sun,
-Who doth permit the base contagious clouds
-To smother up his beauty from the world,
-That, when he please again to be himself,
-Being wanted, he may be more wonder'd at,
-By breaking through the foul and ugly mists
-Of vapours that did seem to strangle him.
-If all the year were playing holidays,
-To sport would be as tedious as to work;
-But when they seldom come, they wish'd for come,
-And nothing pleaseth but rare accidents.
-So, when this loose behavior I throw off
-And pay the debt I never promised,
-By how much better than my word I am,
-By so much shall I falsify men's hopes;
-And like bright metal on a sullen ground,
-My reformation, glittering o'er my fault,
-Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes
-Than that which hath no foil to set it off.
-I'll so offend, to make offence a skill;
-Redeeming time when men think least I will.

SCENE III. London. The palace.

- -

-Enter the KING, NORTHUMBERLAND, WORCESTER, HOTSPUR, SIR WALTER BLUNT, with others -
- -KING HENRY IV -
-My blood hath been too cold and temperate,
-Unapt to stir at these indignities,
-And you have found me; for accordingly
-You tread upon my patience: but be sure
-I will from henceforth rather be myself,
-Mighty and to be fear'd, than my condition;
-Which hath been smooth as oil, soft as young down,
-And therefore lost that title of respect
-Which the proud soul ne'er pays but to the proud.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Our house, my sovereign liege, little deserves
-The scourge of greatness to be used on it;
-And that same greatness too which our own hands
-Have holp to make so portly.
-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-My lord.--
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Worcester, get thee gone; for I do see
-Danger and disobedience in thine eye:
-O, sir, your presence is too bold and peremptory,
-And majesty might never yet endure
-The moody frontier of a servant brow.
-You have good leave to leave us: when we need
-Your use and counsel, we shall send for you.
-

Exit Worcester

-You were about to speak.
-

To North

-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-Yea, my good lord.
-Those prisoners in your highness' name demanded,
-Which Harry Percy here at Holmedon took,
-Were, as he says, not with such strength denied
-As is deliver'd to your majesty:
-Either envy, therefore, or misprison
-Is guilty of this fault and not my son.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-My liege, I did deny no prisoners.
-But I remember, when the fight was done,
-When I was dry with rage and extreme toil,
-Breathless and faint, leaning upon my sword,
-Came there a certain lord, neat, and trimly dress'd,
-Fresh as a bridegroom; and his chin new reap'd
-Show'd like a stubble-land at harvest-home;
-He was perfumed like a milliner;
-And 'twixt his finger and his thumb he held
-A pouncet-box, which ever and anon
-He gave his nose and took't away again;
-Who therewith angry, when it next came there,
-Took it in snuff; and still he smiled and talk'd,
-And as the soldiers bore dead bodies by,
-He call'd them untaught knaves, unmannerly,
-To bring a slovenly unhandsome corse
-Betwixt the wind and his nobility.
-With many holiday and lady terms
-He question'd me; amongst the rest, demanded
-My prisoners in your majesty's behalf.
-I then, all smarting with my wounds being cold,
-To be so pester'd with a popinjay,
-Out of my grief and my impatience,
-Answer'd neglectingly I know not what,
-He should or he should not; for he made me mad
-To see him shine so brisk and smell so sweet
-And talk so like a waiting-gentlewoman
-Of guns and drums and wounds,--God save the mark!--
-And telling me the sovereign'st thing on earth
-Was parmaceti for an inward bruise;
-And that it was great pity, so it was,
-This villanous salt-petre should be digg'd
-Out of the bowels of the harmless earth,
-Which many a good tall fellow had destroy'd
-So cowardly; and but for these vile guns,
-He would himself have been a soldier.
-This bald unjointed chat of his, my lord,
-I answer'd indirectly, as I said;
-And I beseech you, let not his report
-Come current for an accusation
-Betwixt my love and your high majesty.
-
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-The circumstance consider'd, good my lord,
-Whate'er Lord Harry Percy then had said
-To such a person and in such a place,
-At such a time, with all the rest retold,
-May reasonably die and never rise
-To do him wrong or any way impeach
-What then he said, so he unsay it now.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Why, yet he doth deny his prisoners,
-But with proviso and exception,
-That we at our own charge shall ransom straight
-His brother-in-law, the foolish Mortimer;
-Who, on my soul, hath wilfully betray'd
-The lives of those that he did lead to fight
-Against that great magician, damn'd Glendower,
-Whose daughter, as we hear, the Earl of March
-Hath lately married. Shall our coffers, then,
-Be emptied to redeem a traitor home?
-Shall we but treason? and indent with fears,
-When they have lost and forfeited themselves?
-No, on the barren mountains let him starve;
-For I shall never hold that man my friend
-Whose tongue shall ask me for one penny cost
-To ransom home revolted Mortimer.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Revolted Mortimer!
-He never did fall off, my sovereign liege,
-But by the chance of war; to prove that true
-Needs no more but one tongue for all those wounds,
-Those mouthed wounds, which valiantly he took
-When on the gentle Severn's sedgy bank,
-In single opposition, hand to hand,
-He did confound the best part of an hour
-In changing hardiment with great Glendower:
-Three times they breathed and three times did
-they drink,
-Upon agreement, of swift Severn's flood;
-Who then, affrighted with their bloody looks,
-Ran fearfully among the trembling reeds,
-And hid his crisp head in the hollow bank,
-Bloodstained with these valiant combatants.
-Never did base and rotten policy
-Colour her working with such deadly wounds;
-Nor could the noble Mortimer
-Receive so many, and all willingly:
-Then let not him be slander'd with revolt.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Thou dost belie him, Percy, thou dost belie him;
-He never did encounter with Glendower:
-I tell thee,
-He durst as well have met the devil alone
-As Owen Glendower for an enemy.
-Art thou not ashamed? But, sirrah, henceforth
-Let me not hear you speak of Mortimer:
-Send me your prisoners with the speediest means,
-Or you shall hear in such a kind from me
-As will displease you. My Lord Northumberland,
-We licence your departure with your son.
-Send us your prisoners, or you will hear of it.
-

Exeunt King Henry, Blunt, and train

-
- -HOTSPUR -
-An if the devil come and roar for them,
-I will not send them: I will after straight
-And tell him so; for I will ease my heart,
-Albeit I make a hazard of my head.
-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-What, drunk with choler? stay and pause awhile:
-Here comes your uncle.
-

Re-enter WORCESTER

-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Speak of Mortimer!
-'Zounds, I will speak of him; and let my soul
-Want mercy, if I do not join with him:
-Yea, on his part I'll empty all these veins,
-And shed my dear blood drop by drop in the dust,
-But I will lift the down-trod Mortimer
-As high in the air as this unthankful king,
-As this ingrate and canker'd Bolingbroke.
-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-Brother, the king hath made your nephew mad.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Who struck this heat up after I was gone?
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-He will, forsooth, have all my prisoners;
-And when I urged the ransom once again
-Of my wife's brother, then his cheek look'd pale,
-And on my face he turn'd an eye of death,
-Trembling even at the name of Mortimer.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-I cannot blame him: was not he proclaim'd
-By Richard that dead is the next of blood?
-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-He was; I heard the proclamation:
-And then it was when the unhappy king,
---Whose wrongs in us God pardon!--did set forth
-Upon his Irish expedition;
-From whence he intercepted did return
-To be deposed and shortly murdered.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-And for whose death we in the world's wide mouth
-Live scandalized and foully spoken of.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-But soft, I pray you; did King Richard then
-Proclaim my brother Edmund Mortimer
-Heir to the crown?
-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-He did; myself did hear it.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Nay, then I cannot blame his cousin king,
-That wished him on the barren mountains starve.
-But shall it be that you, that set the crown
-Upon the head of this forgetful man
-And for his sake wear the detested blot
-Of murderous subornation, shall it be,
-That you a world of curses undergo,
-Being the agents, or base second means,
-The cords, the ladder, or the hangman rather?
-O, pardon me that I descend so low,
-To show the line and the predicament
-Wherein you range under this subtle king;
-Shall it for shame be spoken in these days,
-Or fill up chronicles in time to come,
-That men of your nobility and power
-Did gage them both in an unjust behalf,
-As both of you--God pardon it!--have done,
-To put down Richard, that sweet lovely rose,
-An plant this thorn, this canker, Bolingbroke?
-And shall it in more shame be further spoken,
-That you are fool'd, discarded and shook off
-By him for whom these shames ye underwent?
-No; yet time serves wherein you may redeem
-Your banish'd honours and restore yourselves
-Into the good thoughts of the world again,
-Revenge the jeering and disdain'd contempt
-Of this proud king, who studies day and night
-To answer all the debt he owes to you
-Even with the bloody payment of your deaths:
-Therefore, I say--
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
- Peace, cousin, say no more:
-And now I will unclasp a secret book,
-And to your quick-conceiving discontents
-I'll read you matter deep and dangerous,
-As full of peril and adventurous spirit
-As to o'er-walk a current roaring loud
-On the unsteadfast footing of a spear.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-If he fall in, good night! or sink or swim:
-Send danger from the east unto the west,
-So honour cross it from the north to south,
-And let them grapple: O, the blood more stirs
-To rouse a lion than to start a hare!
-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-Imagination of some great exploit
-Drives him beyond the bounds of patience.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-By heaven, methinks it were an easy leap,
-To pluck bright honour from the pale-faced moon,
-Or dive into the bottom of the deep,
-Where fathom-line could never touch the ground,
-And pluck up drowned honour by the locks;
-So he that doth redeem her thence might wear
-Without corrival, all her dignities:
-But out upon this half-faced fellowship!
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-He apprehends a world of figures here,
-But not the form of what he should attend.
-Good cousin, give me audience for a while.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I cry you mercy.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
- Those same noble Scots
-That are your prisoners,--
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I'll keep them all;
-By God, he shall not have a Scot of them;
-No, if a Scot would save his soul, he shall not:
-I'll keep them, by this hand.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-You start away
-And lend no ear unto my purposes.
-Those prisoners you shall keep.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Nay, I will; that's flat:
-He said he would not ransom Mortimer;
-Forbad my tongue to speak of Mortimer;
-But I will find him when he lies asleep,
-And in his ear I'll holla 'Mortimer!'
-Nay,
-I'll have a starling shall be taught to speak
-Nothing but 'Mortimer,' and give it him
-To keep his anger still in motion.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Hear you, cousin; a word.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-All studies here I solemnly defy,
-Save how to gall and pinch this Bolingbroke:
-And that same sword-and-buckler Prince of Wales,
-But that I think his father loves him not
-And would be glad he met with some mischance,
-I would have him poison'd with a pot of ale.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Farewell, kinsman: I'll talk to you
-When you are better temper'd to attend.
-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-Why, what a wasp-stung and impatient fool
-Art thou to break into this woman's mood,
-Tying thine ear to no tongue but thine own!
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Why, look you, I am whipp'd and scourged with rods,
-Nettled and stung with pismires, when I hear
-Of this vile politician, Bolingbroke.
-In Richard's time,--what do you call the place?--
-A plague upon it, it is in Gloucestershire;
-'Twas where the madcap duke his uncle kept,
-His uncle York; where I first bow'd my knee
-Unto this king of smiles, this Bolingbroke,--
-'Sblood!--
-When you and he came back from Ravenspurgh.
-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-At Berkley castle.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-You say true:
-Why, what a candy deal of courtesy
-This fawning greyhound then did proffer me!
-Look,'when his infant fortune came to age,'
-And 'gentle Harry Percy,' and 'kind cousin;'
-O, the devil take such cozeners! God forgive me!
-Good uncle, tell your tale; I have done.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Nay, if you have not, to it again;
-We will stay your leisure.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I have done, i' faith.

To Northumberland

-Your son in Scotland being thus employ'd,

-True; who bears hard
-His brother's death at Bristol, the Lord Scroop.
-I speak not this in estimation,
-As what I think might be, but what I know
-Is ruminated, plotted and set down,
-And only stays but to behold the face
-Of that occasion that shall bring it on.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I smell it: upon my life, it will do well.
-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-Before the game is afoot, thou still let'st slip.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Why, it cannot choose but be a noble plot;
-And then the power of Scotland and of York,
-To join with Mortimer, ha?
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-And so they shall.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-In faith, it is exceedingly well aim'd.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-And 'tis no little reason bids us speed,
-To save our heads by raising of a head;
-For, bear ourselves as even as we can,
-The king will always think him in our debt,
-And think we think ourselves unsatisfied,
-Till he hath found a time to pay us home:
-And see already how he doth begin
-To make us strangers to his looks of love.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-He does, he does: we'll be revenged on him.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Cousin, farewell: no further go in this
-Than I by letters shall direct your course.
-When time is ripe, which will be suddenly,
-I'll steal to Glendower and Lord Mortimer;
-Where you and Douglas and our powers at once,
-As I will fashion it, shall happily meet,
-To bear our fortunes in our own strong arms,
-Which now we hold at much uncertainty.
-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-Farewell, good brother: we shall thrive, I trust.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Uncle, Adieu: O, let the hours be short
-Till fields and blows and groans applaud our sport!

-Enter a Carrier with a lantern in his hand -
- -First Carrier -
-Heigh-ho! an it be not four by the day, I'll be
-hanged: Charles' wain is over the new chimney, and

-
- -Ostler -
-[Within] Anon, anon.
-
- -First Carrier -
-I prithee, Tom, beat Cut's saddle, put a few flocks
-in the point; poor jade, is wrung in the withers out
-of all cess.
-

Enter another Carrier

-
- -Second Carrier -
-Peas and beans are as dank here as a dog, and that
-is the next way to give poor jades the bots: this
-house is turned upside down since Robin Ostler died.
-
- -First Carrier -
-Poor fellow, never joyed since the price of oats

-
- -Second Carrier -
-I think this be the most villanous house in all

-
- -First Carrier -
-Like a tench! by the mass, there is ne'er a king

-
- -Second Carrier -
-Why, they will allow us ne'er a jordan, and then we

-
- -First Carrier -
-What, ostler! come away and be hanged!
-
- -Second Carrier -
-I have a gammon of bacon and two razors of ginger,
-to be delivered as far as Charing-cross.
-
- -First Carrier -
-God's body! the turkeys in my pannier are quite
-starved. What, ostler! A plague on thee! hast thou
-never an eye in thy head? canst not hear? An
-'twere not as good deed as drink, to break the pate
-on thee, I am a very villain. Come, and be hanged!
-hast thou no faith in thee?

Enter GADSHILL

-
- -GADSHILL -
-Good morrow, carriers. What's o'clock?
-
- -First Carrier -
-I think it be two o'clock.
-
- -GADSHILL -
-I pray thee lend me thy lantern, to see my gelding
-in the stable.
-
- -First Carrier -
-Nay, by God, soft; I know a trick worth two of that, i' faith.
-
- -GADSHILL -
-I pray thee, lend me thine.
-
- -Second Carrier -
-Ay, when? can'st tell? Lend me thy lantern, quoth

-
- -GADSHILL -
-Sirrah carrier, what time do you mean to come to London?
-
- -Second Carrier -
-Time enough to go to bed with a candle, I warrant

-gentleman: they will along with company, for they
-have great charge.
-

Exeunt carriers

-
- -GADSHILL -
-What, ho! chamberlain!
-
- -Chamberlain -
-[Within] At hand, quoth pick-purse.
-
- -GADSHILL -
-That's even as fair as--at hand, quoth the
-chamberlain; for thou variest no more from picking
-of purses than giving direction doth from labouring;
-thou layest the plot how.
-

Enter Chamberlain

-
- -Chamberlain -
-Good morrow, Master Gadshill. It holds current that
-I told you yesternight: there's a franklin in the
-wild of Kent hath brought three hundred marks with
-him in gold: I heard him tell it to one of his
-company last night at supper; a kind of auditor; one
-that hath abundance of charge too, God knows what.
-They are up already, and call for eggs and butter;
-they will away presently.
-
- -GADSHILL -
-Sirrah, if they meet not with Saint Nicholas'
-clerks, I'll give thee this neck.
-
- -Chamberlain -
-No, I'll none of it: I pray thee keep that for the
-hangman; for I know thou worshippest St. Nicholas
-as truly as a man of falsehood may.
-
- -GADSHILL -
-What talkest thou to me of the hangman? if I hang,
-I'll make a fat pair of gallows; for if I hang, old
-Sir John hangs with me, and thou knowest he is no
-starveling. Tut! there are other Trojans that thou
-dreamest not of, the which for sport sake are
-content to do the profession some grace; that would,
-if matters should be looked into, for their own
-credit sake, make all whole. I am joined with no
-foot-land rakers, no long-staff sixpenny strikers,
-none of these mad mustachio purple-hued malt-worms;
-but with nobility and tranquillity, burgomasters and
-great oneyers, such as can hold in, such as will
-strike sooner than speak, and speak sooner than
-drink, and drink sooner than pray: and yet, zounds,
-I lie; for they pray continually to their saint, the
-commonwealth; or rather, not pray to her, but prey
-on her, for they ride up and down on her and make
-her their boots.
-
- -Chamberlain -
-What, the commonwealth their boots? will she hold
-out water in foul way?
-
- -GADSHILL -
-She will, she will; justice hath liquored her. We
-steal as in a castle, cocksure; we have the receipt
-of fern-seed, we walk invisible.
-
- -Chamberlain -
-Nay, by my faith, I think you are more beholding to
-the night than to fern-seed for your walking invisible.
-
- -GADSHILL -
-Give me thy hand: thou shalt have a share in our
-purchase, as I am a true man.
-
- -Chamberlain -
-Nay, rather let me have it, as you are a false thief.
-
- -GADSHILL -
-Go to; 'homo' is a common name to all men. Bid the
-ostler bring my gelding out of the stable. Farewell,
-you muddy knave.

SCENE II. The highway, near Gadshill.

-Enter PRINCE HENRY and POINS -
- -POINS -
-Come, shelter, shelter: I have removed Falstaff's
-horse, and he frets like a gummed velvet.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Stand close.
-

Enter FALSTAFF

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Poins! Poins, and be hanged! Poins!
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Peace, ye fat-kidneyed rascal! what a brawling dost
-thou keep!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Where's Poins, Hal?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-He is walked up to the top of the hill: I'll go seek him.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-I am accursed to rob in that thief's company: the
-rascal hath removed my horse, and tied him I know
-not where. If I travel but four foot by the squier
-further afoot, I shall break my wind. Well, I doubt
-not but to die a fair death for all this, if I
-'scape hanging for killing that rogue. I have
-forsworn his company hourly any time this two and
-twenty years, and yet I am bewitched with the
-rogue's company. If the rascal hath not given me
-medicines to make me love him, I'll be hanged; it
-could not be else: I have drunk medicines. Poins!
-Hal! a plague upon you both! Bardolph! Peto!
-I'll starve ere I'll rob a foot further. An 'twere
-not as good a deed as drink, to turn true man and to
-leave these rogues, I am the veriest varlet that
-ever chewed with a tooth. Eight yards of uneven
-ground is threescore and ten miles afoot with me;
-and the stony-hearted villains know it well enough:
-a plague upon it when thieves cannot be true one to another!
-

They whistle

-Whew! A plague upon you all! Give me my horse, you
-rogues; give me my horse, and be hanged!
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Peace, ye fat-guts! lie down; lay thine ear close
-to the ground and list if thou canst hear the tread
-of travellers.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Have you any levers to lift me up again, being down?
-'Sblood, I'll not bear mine own flesh so far afoot
-again for all the coin in thy father's exchequer.
-What a plague mean ye to colt me thus?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Thou liest; thou art not colted, thou art uncolted.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-I prithee, good Prince Hal, help me to my horse,
-good king's son.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Out, ye rogue! shall I be your ostler?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Go, hang thyself in thine own heir-apparent
-garters! If I be ta'en, I'll peach for this. An I
-have not ballads made on you all and sung to filthy
-tunes, let a cup of sack be my poison: when a jest
-is so forward, and afoot too! I hate it.
-

Enter GADSHILL, BARDOLPH and PETO

-
- -GADSHILL -
-Stand.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-So I do, against my will.
-
- -POINS -
-O, 'tis our setter: I know his voice. Bardolph,
-what news?
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-Case ye, case ye; on with your vizards: there 's
-money of the king's coming down the hill; 'tis going
-to the king's exchequer.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-You lie, ye rogue; 'tis going to the king's tavern.
-
- -GADSHILL -
-There's enough to make us all.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-To be hanged.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Sirs, you four shall front them in the narrow lane;
-Ned Poins and I will walk lower: if they 'scape
-from your encounter, then they light on us.
-
- -PETO -
-How many be there of them?
-
- -GADSHILL -
-Some eight or ten.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-'Zounds, will they not rob us?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What, a coward, Sir John Paunch?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Indeed, I am not John of Gaunt, your grandfather;
-but yet no coward, Hal.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Well, we leave that to the proof.
-
- -POINS -
-Sirrah Jack, thy horse stands behind the hedge:
-when thou needest him, there thou shalt find him.
-Farewell, and stand fast.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Now cannot I strike him, if I should be hanged.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Ned, where are our disguises?
-
- -POINS -
-Here, hard by: stand close.
-

Exeunt PRINCE HENRY and POINS

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Now, my masters, happy man be his dole, say I:
-every man to his business.
-

Enter the Travellers

-
- -First Traveller -
-Come, neighbour: the boy shall lead our horses down
-the hill; we'll walk afoot awhile, and ease our legs.
-
- -Thieves -
-Stand!
-
- -Travellers -
-Jesus bless us!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Strike; down with them; cut the villains' throats:
-ah! whoreson caterpillars! bacon-fed knaves! they
-hate us youth: down with them: fleece them.
-
- -Travellers -
-O, we are undone, both we and ours for ever!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Hang ye, gorbellied knaves, are ye undone? No, ye
-fat chuffs: I would your store were here! On,
-bacons, on! What, ye knaves! young men must live.
-You are Grand-jurors, are ye? we'll jure ye, 'faith.
-

Here they rob them and bind them. Exeunt

-

Re-enter PRINCE HENRY and POINS

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-The thieves have bound the true men. Now could thou
-and I rob the thieves and go merrily to London, it
-would be argument for a week, laughter for a month
-and a good jest for ever.
-
- -POINS -
-Stand close; I hear them coming.
-

Enter the Thieves again

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Come, my masters, let us share, and then to horse
-before day. An the Prince and Poins be not two
-arrant cowards, there's no equity stirring: there's
-no more valour in that Poins than in a wild-duck.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Your money!
-
- -POINS -
-Villains!
-

As they are sharing, the Prince and Poins set upon them; they all run away; and Falstaff, after a blow or two, runs away too, leaving the booty behind them

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Got with much ease. Now merrily to horse:
-The thieves are all scatter'd and possess'd with fear
-So strongly that they dare not meet each other;
-Each takes his fellow for an officer.
-Away, good Ned. Falstaff sweats to death,
-And lards the lean earth as he walks along:
-Were 't not for laughing, I should pity him.
-
- -POINS -
-How the rogue roar'd!

-Enter HOTSPUR, solus, reading a letter -
- -HOTSPUR -
-'But for mine own part, my lord, I could be well
-contented to be there, in respect of the love I bear
-your house.' He could be contented: why is he not,
-then? In respect of the love he bears our house:
-he shows in this, he loves his own barn better than
-he loves our house. Let me see some more. 'The
-purpose you undertake is dangerous;'--why, that's
-certain: 'tis dangerous to take a cold, to sleep, to
-drink; but I tell you, my lord fool, out of this
-nettle, danger, we pluck this flower, safety. 'The
-purpose you undertake is dangerous; the friends you
-have named uncertain; the time itself unsorted; and
-your whole plot too light for the counterpoise of so
-great an opposition.' Say you so, say you so? I say
-unto you again, you are a shallow cowardly hind, and
-you lie. What a lack-brain is this! By the Lord,
-our plot is a good plot as ever was laid; our
-friends true and constant: a good plot, good
-friends, and full of expectation; an excellent plot,
-very good friends. What a frosty-spirited rogue is
-this! Why, my lord of York commends the plot and the
-general course of action. 'Zounds, an I were now by
-this rascal, I could brain him with his lady's fan.
-Is there not my father, my uncle and myself? lord
-Edmund Mortimer, My lord of York and Owen Glendower?
-is there not besides the Douglas? have I not all
-their letters to meet me in arms by the ninth of the
-next month? and are they not some of them set
-forward already? What a pagan rascal is this! an
-infidel! Ha! you shall see now in very sincerity
-of fear and cold heart, will he to the king and lay
-open all our proceedings. O, I could divide myself
-and go to buffets, for moving such a dish of
-skim milk with so honourable an action! Hang him!
-let him tell the king: we are prepared. I will set
-forward to-night.
-

Enter LADY PERCY

-How now, Kate! I must leave you within these two hours.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-O, my good lord, why are you thus alone?
-For what offence have I this fortnight been
-A banish'd woman from my Harry's bed?
-Tell me, sweet lord, what is't that takes from thee
-Thy stomach, pleasure and thy golden sleep?
-Why dost thou bend thine eyes upon the earth,
-And start so often when thou sit'st alone?
-Why hast thou lost the fresh blood in thy cheeks;
-And given my treasures and my rights of thee
-To thick-eyed musing and cursed melancholy?
-In thy faint slumbers I by thee have watch'd,
-And heard thee murmur tales of iron wars;
-Speak terms of manage to thy bounding steed;
-Cry 'Courage! to the field!' And thou hast talk'd
-Of sallies and retires, of trenches, tents,
-Of palisadoes, frontiers, parapets,
-Of basilisks, of cannon, culverin,
-Of prisoners' ransom and of soldiers slain,
-And all the currents of a heady fight.
-Thy spirit within thee hath been so at war
-And thus hath so bestirr'd thee in thy sleep,
-That beads of sweat have stood upon thy brow
-Like bubbles in a late-disturbed stream;
-And in thy face strange motions have appear'd,
-Such as we see when men restrain their breath
-On some great sudden hest. O, what portents are these?
-Some heavy business hath my lord in hand,
-And I must know it, else he loves me not.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-What, ho!

-Is Gilliams with the packet gone?
-
- -Servant -
-He is, my lord, an hour ago.

-Hath Butler brought those horses from the sheriff?
-
- -Servant -
-One horse, my lord, he brought even now.

-It is, my lord.

-Well, I will back him straight: O esperance!

-An if thou wilt not tell me all things true.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Away,
-Away, you trifler! Love! I love thee not,
-I care not for thee, Kate: this is no world
-To play with mammets and to tilt with lips:
-We must have bloody noses and crack'd crowns,
-And pass them current too. God's me, my horse!
-What say'st thou, Kate? what would'st thou

-
- -LADY PERCY -
-Do you not love me? do you not, indeed?
-Well, do not then; for since you love me not,

-Nay, tell me if you speak in jest or no.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Come, wilt thou see me ride?
-And when I am on horseback, I will swear
-I love thee infinitely. But hark you, Kate;
-I must not have you henceforth question me
-Whither I go, nor reason whereabout:
-Whither I must, I must; and, to conclude,
-This evening must I leave you, gentle Kate.
-I know you wise, but yet no farther wise
-Than Harry Percy's wife: constant you are,
-But yet a woman: and for secrecy,
-No lady closer; for I well believe
-Thou wilt not utter what thou dost not know;
-And so far will I trust thee, gentle Kate.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-How! so far?
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Not an inch further. But hark you, Kate:
-Whither I go, thither shall you go too;
-To-day will I set forth, to-morrow you.
-Will this content you, Kate?
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-It must of force.

-Enter PRINCE HENRY and POINS -
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Ned, prithee, come out of that fat room, and lend me
-thy hand to laugh a little.
-
- -POINS -
-Where hast been, Hal?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-With three or four loggerheads amongst three or four
-score hogsheads. I have sounded the very
-base-string of humility. Sirrah, I am sworn brother
-to a leash of drawers; and can call them all by
-their christen names, as Tom, Dick, and Francis.
-They take it already upon their salvation, that
-though I be but the prince of Wales, yet I am king
-of courtesy; and tell me flatly I am no proud Jack,
-like Falstaff, but a Corinthian, a lad of mettle, a
-good boy, by the Lord, so they call me, and when I
-am king of England, I shall command all the good
-lads in Eastcheap. They call drinking deep, dyeing
-scarlet; and when you breathe in your watering, they
-cry 'hem!' and bid you play it off. To conclude, I
-am so good a proficient in one quarter of an hour,
-that I can drink with any tinker in his own language
-during my life. I tell thee, Ned, thou hast lost
-much honour, that thou wert not with me in this sweet
-action. But, sweet Ned,--to sweeten which name of
-Ned, I give thee this pennyworth of sugar, clapped
-even now into my hand by an under-skinker, one that
-never spake other English in his life than 'Eight
-shillings and sixpence' and 'You are welcome,' with
-this shrill addition, 'Anon, anon, sir! Score a pint
-of bastard in the Half-Moon,' or so. But, Ned, to
-drive away the time till Falstaff come, I prithee,
-do thou stand in some by-room, while I question my
-puny drawer to what end he gave me the sugar; and do
-thou never leave calling 'Francis,' that his tale
-to me may be nothing but 'Anon.' Step aside, and
-I'll show thee a precedent.
-

-Francis!

- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Five year! by'r lady, a long lease for the clinking
-of pewter. But, Francis, darest thou be so valiant
-as to play the coward with thy indenture and show it
-a fair pair of heels and run from it?
-
- -FRANCIS -
-O Lord, sir, I'll be sworn upon all the books in
-England, I could find in my heart.
-
- -POINS -
-[Within] Francis!
-
- -FRANCIS -
-Anon, sir.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-How old art thou, Francis?
-
- -FRANCIS -
-Let me see--about Michaelmas next I shall be--
-
- -POINS -
-[Within] Francis!
-
- -FRANCIS -
-Anon, sir. Pray stay a little, my lord.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Nay, but hark you, Francis: for the sugar thou
-gavest me,'twas a pennyworth, wast't not?
-
- -FRANCIS -
-O Lord, I would it had been two!
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I will give thee for it a thousand pound: ask me
-when thou wilt, and thou shalt have it.
-
- -POINS -
-[Within] Francis!
-
- -FRANCIS -
-Anon, anon.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Anon, Francis? No, Francis; but to-morrow, Francis;
-or, Francis, o' Thursday; or indeed, Francis, when
-thou wilt. But, Francis!
-
- -FRANCIS -
-My lord?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Wilt thou rob this leathern jerkin, crystal-button,
-not-pated, agate-ring, puke-stocking, caddis-garter,
-smooth-tongue, Spanish-pouch,--
-
- -FRANCIS -
-O Lord, sir, who do you mean?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Why, then, your brown bastard is your only drink;
-for look you, Francis, your white canvas doublet
-will sully: in Barbary, sir, it cannot come to so much.
-
- -FRANCIS -
-What, sir?
-
- -POINS -
-[Within] Francis!
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Away, you rogue! dost thou not hear them call?
-

Here they both call him; the drawer stands amazed, not knowing which way to go

-

Enter Vintner

-
- -Vintner -
-What, standest thou still, and hearest such a
-calling? Look to the guests within.
-

Exit Francis

-My lord, old Sir John, with half-a-dozen more, are
-at the door: shall I let them in?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Let them alone awhile, and then open the door.
-

Exit Vintner

-Poins!
-

Re-enter POINS

-
- -POINS -
-Anon, anon, sir.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Sirrah, Falstaff and the rest of the thieves are at
-the door: shall we be merry?
-
- -POINS -
-As merry as crickets, my lad. But hark ye; what
-cunning match have you made with this jest of the
-drawer? come, what's the issue?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I am now of all humours that have showed themselves
-humours since the old days of goodman Adam to the
-pupil age of this present twelve o'clock at midnight.
-

Re-enter FRANCIS

-What's o'clock, Francis?
-
- -FRANCIS -
-Anon, anon, sir.
-

Exit

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-That ever this fellow should have fewer words than a
-parrot, and yet the son of a woman! His industry is
-upstairs and downstairs; his eloquence the parcel of
-a reckoning. I am not yet of Percy's mind, the
-Hotspur of the north; he that kills me some six or
-seven dozen of Scots at a breakfast, washes his
-hands, and says to his wife 'Fie upon this quiet
-life! I want work.' 'O my sweet Harry,' says she,
-'how many hast thou killed to-day?' 'Give my roan
-horse a drench,' says he; and answers 'Some
-fourteen,' an hour after; 'a trifle, a trifle.' I
-prithee, call in Falstaff: I'll play Percy, and
-that damned brawn shall play Dame Mortimer his
-wife. 'Rivo!' says the drunkard. Call in ribs, call in tallow.
-

Enter FALSTAFF, GADSHILL, BARDOLPH, and PETO; FRANCIS following with wine

-
- -POINS -
-Welcome, Jack: where hast thou been?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-A plague of all cowards, I say, and a vengeance too!
-marry, and amen! Give me a cup of sack, boy. Ere I
-lead this life long, I'll sew nether stocks and mend
-them and foot them too. A plague of all cowards!
-Give me a cup of sack, rogue. Is there no virtue extant?
-

He drinks

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Didst thou never see Titan kiss a dish of butter?
-pitiful-hearted Titan, that melted at the sweet tale
-of the sun's! if thou didst, then behold that compound.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-You rogue, here's lime in this sack too: there is
-nothing but roguery to be found in villanous man:
-yet a coward is worse than a cup of sack with lime
-in it. A villanous coward! Go thy ways, old Jack;
-die when thou wilt, if manhood, good manhood, be
-not forgot upon the face of the earth, then am I a
-shotten herring. There live not three good men
-unhanged in England; and one of them is fat and
-grows old: God help the while! a bad world, I say.
-I would I were a weaver; I could sing psalms or any
-thing. A plague of all cowards, I say still.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-How now, wool-sack! what mutter you?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-A king's son! If I do not beat thee out of thy
-kingdom with a dagger of lath, and drive all thy
-subjects afore thee like a flock of wild-geese,
-I'll never wear hair on my face more. You Prince of Wales!
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Why, you whoreson round man, what's the matter?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Are not you a coward? answer me to that: and Poins there?
-
- -POINS -
-'Zounds, ye fat paunch, an ye call me coward, by the
-Lord, I'll stab thee.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-I call thee coward! I'll see thee damned ere I call
-thee coward: but I would give a thousand pound I
-could run as fast as thou canst. You are straight
-enough in the shoulders, you care not who sees your
-back: call you that backing of your friends? A
-plague upon such backing! give me them that will
-face me. Give me a cup of sack: I am a rogue, if I
-drunk to-day.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-O villain! thy lips are scarce wiped since thou
-drunkest last.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-All's one for that.
-

He drinks

-A plague of all cowards, still say I.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What's the matter?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-What's the matter! there be four of us here have
-ta'en a thousand pound this day morning.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Where is it, Jack? where is it?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Where is it! taken from us it is: a hundred upon
-poor four of us.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What, a hundred, man?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-I am a rogue, if I were not at half-sword with a
-dozen of them two hours together. I have 'scaped by
-miracle. I am eight times thrust through the
-doublet, four through the hose; my buckler cut
-through and through; my sword hacked like a
-hand-saw--ecce signum! I never dealt better since
-I was a man: all would not do. A plague of all
-cowards! Let them speak: if they speak more or
-less than truth, they are villains and the sons of darkness.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Speak, sirs; how was it?
-
- -GADSHILL -
-We four set upon some dozen--
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Sixteen at least, my lord.
-
- -GADSHILL -
-And bound them.
-
- -PETO -
-No, no, they were not bound.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-You rogue, they were bound, every man of them; or I
-am a Jew else, an Ebrew Jew.
-
- -GADSHILL -
-As we were sharing, some six or seven fresh men set upon us--
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-And unbound the rest, and then come in the other.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What, fought you with them all?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-All! I know not what you call all; but if I fought
-not with fifty of them, I am a bunch of radish: if
-there were not two or three and fifty upon poor old
-Jack, then am I no two-legged creature.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Pray God you have not murdered some of them.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Nay, that's past praying for: I have peppered two
-of them; two I am sure I have paid, two rogues
-in buckram suits. I tell thee what, Hal, if I tell
-thee a lie, spit in my face, call me horse. Thou
-knowest my old ward; here I lay and thus I bore my
-point. Four rogues in buckram let drive at me--
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What, four? thou saidst but two even now.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Four, Hal; I told thee four.
-
- -POINS -
-Ay, ay, he said four.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-These four came all a-front, and mainly thrust at
-me. I made me no more ado but took all their seven
-points in my target, thus.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Seven? why, there were but four even now.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-In buckram?
-
- -POINS -
-Ay, four, in buckram suits.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Seven, by these hilts, or I am a villain else.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Prithee, let him alone; we shall have more anon.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Dost thou hear me, Hal?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Ay, and mark thee too, Jack.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Do so, for it is worth the listening to. These nine
-in buckram that I told thee of--
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-So, two more already.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Their points being broken,--
-
- -POINS -
-Down fell their hose.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Began to give me ground: but I followed me close,
-came in foot and hand; and with a thought seven of
-the eleven I paid.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-O monstrous! eleven buckram men grown out of two!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-But, as the devil would have it, three misbegotten
-knaves in Kendal green came at my back and let drive
-at me; for it was so dark, Hal, that thou couldst
-not see thy hand.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-These lies are like their father that begets them;
-gross as a mountain, open, palpable. Why, thou
-clay-brained guts, thou knotty-pated fool, thou
-whoreson, obscene, grease tallow-catch,--
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-What, art thou mad? art thou mad? is not the truth
-the truth?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Why, how couldst thou know these men in Kendal
-green, when it was so dark thou couldst not see thy
-hand? come, tell us your reason: what sayest thou to this?
-
- -POINS -
-Come, your reason, Jack, your reason.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-What, upon compulsion? 'Zounds, an I were at the
-strappado, or all the racks in the world, I would
-not tell you on compulsion. Give you a reason on
-compulsion! If reasons were as plentiful as
-blackberries, I would give no man a reason upon
-compulsion, I.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I'll be no longer guilty of this sin; this sanguine
-coward, this bed-presser, this horseback-breaker,
-this huge hill of flesh,--
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-'Sblood, you starveling, you elf-skin, you dried
-neat's tongue, you bull's pizzle, you stock-fish! O
-for breath to utter what is like thee! you
-tailor's-yard, you sheath, you bowcase; you vile
-standing-tuck,--
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Well, breathe awhile, and then to it again: and
-when thou hast tired thyself in base comparisons,
-hear me speak but this.
-
- -POINS -
-Mark, Jack.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-We two saw you four set on four and bound them, and
-were masters of their wealth. Mark now, how a plain
-tale shall put you down. Then did we two set on you
-four; and, with a word, out-faced you from your
-prize, and have it; yea, and can show it you here in
-the house: and, Falstaff, you carried your guts
-away as nimbly, with as quick dexterity, and roared
-for mercy and still run and roared, as ever I heard
-bull-calf. What a slave art thou, to hack thy sword
-as thou hast done, and then say it was in fight!
-What trick, what device, what starting-hole, canst
-thou now find out to hide thee from this open and
-apparent shame?
-
- -POINS -
-Come, let's hear, Jack; what trick hast thou now?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-By the Lord, I knew ye as well as he that made ye.
-Why, hear you, my masters: was it for me to kill the
-heir-apparent? should I turn upon the true prince?
-why, thou knowest I am as valiant as Hercules: but
-beware instinct; the lion will not touch the true
-prince. Instinct is a great matter; I was now a
-coward on instinct. I shall think the better of
-myself and thee during my life; I for a valiant
-lion, and thou for a true prince. But, by the Lord,
-lads, I am glad you have the money. Hostess, clap
-to the doors: watch to-night, pray to-morrow.
-Gallants, lads, boys, hearts of gold, all the titles
-of good fellowship come to you! What, shall we be
-merry? shall we have a play extempore?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Content; and the argument shall be thy running away.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Ah, no more of that, Hal, an thou lovest me!
-

Enter Hostess

-
- -Hostess -
-O Jesu, my lord the prince!
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-How now, my lady the hostess! what sayest thou to
-me?
-
- -Hostess -
-Marry, my lord, there is a nobleman of the court at
-door would speak with you: he says he comes from
-your father.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Give him as much as will make him a royal man, and
-send him back again to my mother.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-What manner of man is he?
-
- -Hostess -
-An old man.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-What doth gravity out of his bed at midnight? Shall
-I give him his answer?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Prithee, do, Jack.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-'Faith, and I'll send him packing.
-

Exit FALSTAFF

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Now, sirs: by'r lady, you fought fair; so did you,
-Peto; so did you, Bardolph: you are lions too, you
-ran away upon instinct, you will not touch the true
-prince; no, fie!
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-'Faith, I ran when I saw others run.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-'Faith, tell me now in earnest, how came Falstaff's
-sword so hacked?
-
- -PETO -
-Why, he hacked it with his dagger, and said he would
-swear truth out of England but he would make you
-believe it was done in fight, and persuaded us to do the like.
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-Yea, and to tickle our noses with spear-grass to
-make them bleed, and then to beslubber our garments
-with it and swear it was the blood of true men. I
-did that I did not this seven year before, I blushed
-to hear his monstrous devices.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-O villain, thou stolest a cup of sack eighteen years
-ago, and wert taken with the manner, and ever since
-thou hast blushed extempore. Thou hadst fire and
-sword on thy side, and yet thou rannest away: what
-instinct hadst thou for it?
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-My lord, do you see these meteors? do you behold
-these exhalations?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I do.
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-What think you they portend?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Hot livers and cold purses.
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-Choler, my lord, if rightly taken.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-No, if rightly taken, halter.
-

Re-enter FALSTAFF

-Here comes lean Jack, here comes bare-bone.
-How now, my sweet creature of bombast!
-How long is't ago, Jack, since thou sawest thine own knee?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-My own knee! when I was about thy years, Hal, I was
-not an eagle's talon in the waist; I could have
-crept into any alderman's thumb-ring: a plague of
-sighing and grief! it blows a man up like a
-bladder. There's villanous news abroad: here was
-Sir John Bracy from your father; you must to the
-court in the morning. That same mad fellow of the
-north, Percy, and he of Wales, that gave Amamon the
-bastinado and made Lucifer cuckold and swore the
-devil his true liegeman upon the cross of a Welsh
-hook--what a plague call you him?
-
- -POINS -
-O, Glendower.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Owen, Owen, the same; and his son-in-law Mortimer,
-and old Northumberland, and that sprightly Scot of
-Scots, Douglas, that runs o' horseback up a hill
-perpendicular,--
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-He that rides at high speed and with his pistol
-kills a sparrow flying.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-You have hit it.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-So did he never the sparrow.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Well, that rascal hath good mettle in him; he will not run.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Why, what a rascal art thou then, to praise him so
-for running!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-O' horseback, ye cuckoo; but afoot he will not budge a foot.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Yes, Jack, upon instinct.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-I grant ye, upon instinct. Well, he is there too,
-and one Mordake, and a thousand blue-caps more:
-Worcester is stolen away to-night; thy father's
-beard is turned white with the news: you may buy
-land now as cheap as stinking mackerel.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Why, then, it is like, if there come a hot June and
-this civil buffeting hold, we shall buy maidenheads
-as they buy hob-nails, by the hundreds.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-By the mass, lad, thou sayest true; it is like we
-shall have good trading that way. But tell me, Hal,
-art not thou horrible afeard? thou being
-heir-apparent, could the world pick thee out three
-such enemies again as that fiend Douglas, that
-spirit Percy, and that devil Glendower? Art thou
-not horribly afraid? doth not thy blood thrill at
-it?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Not a whit, i' faith; I lack some of thy instinct.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Well, thou wert be horribly chid tomorrow when thou
-comest to thy father: if thou love me, practise an answer.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Do thou stand for my father, and examine me upon the
-particulars of my life.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Shall I? content: this chair shall be my state,
-this dagger my sceptre, and this cushion my crown.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Thy state is taken for a joined-stool, thy golden
-sceptre for a leaden dagger, and thy precious rich
-crown for a pitiful bald crown!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Well, an the fire of grace be not quite out of thee,
-now shalt thou be moved. Give me a cup of sack to
-make my eyes look red, that it may be thought I have
-wept; for I must speak in passion, and I will do it
-in King Cambyses' vein.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Well, here is my leg.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-And here is my speech. Stand aside, nobility.
-
- -Hostess -
-O Jesu, this is excellent sport, i' faith!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Weep not, sweet queen; for trickling tears are vain.
-
- -Hostess -
-O, the father, how he holds his countenance!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-For God's sake, lords, convey my tristful queen;
-For tears do stop the flood-gates of her eyes.
-
- -Hostess -
-O Jesu, he doth it as like one of these harlotry
-players as ever I see!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Peace, good pint-pot; peace, good tickle-brain.
-Harry, I do not only marvel where thou spendest thy
-time, but also how thou art accompanied: for though
-the camomile, the more it is trodden on the faster
-it grows, yet youth, the more it is wasted the
-sooner it wears. That thou art my son, I have
-partly thy mother's word, partly my own opinion,
-but chiefly a villanous trick of thine eye and a
-foolish-hanging of thy nether lip, that doth warrant
-me. If then thou be son to me, here lies the point;
-why, being son to me, art thou so pointed at? Shall
-the blessed sun of heaven prove a micher and eat
-blackberries? a question not to be asked. Shall
-the sun of England prove a thief and take purses? a
-question to be asked. There is a thing, Harry,
-which thou hast often heard of and it is known to
-many in our land by the name of pitch: this pitch,
-as ancient writers do report, doth defile; so doth
-the company thou keepest: for, Harry, now I do not
-speak to thee in drink but in tears, not in
-pleasure but in passion, not in words only, but in
-woes also: and yet there is a virtuous man whom I
-have often noted in thy company, but I know not his name.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What manner of man, an it like your majesty?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-A goodly portly man, i' faith, and a corpulent; of a
-cheerful look, a pleasing eye and a most noble
-carriage; and, as I think, his age some fifty, or,
-by'r lady, inclining to three score; and now I
-remember me, his name is Falstaff: if that man
-should be lewdly given, he deceiveth me; for, Harry,
-I see virtue in his looks. If then the tree may be
-known by the fruit, as the fruit by the tree, then,
-peremptorily I speak it, there is virtue in that
-Falstaff: him keep with, the rest banish. And tell
-me now, thou naughty varlet, tell me, where hast
-thou been this month?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Dost thou speak like a king? Do thou stand for me,
-and I'll play my father.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Depose me? if thou dost it half so gravely, so
-majestically, both in word and matter, hang me up by
-the heels for a rabbit-sucker or a poulter's hare.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Well, here I am set.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-And here I stand: judge, my masters.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Now, Harry, whence come you?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-My noble lord, from Eastcheap.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-The complaints I hear of thee are grievous.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-'Sblood, my lord, they are false: nay, I'll tickle
-ye for a young prince, i' faith.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Swearest thou, ungracious boy? henceforth ne'er look
-on me. Thou art violently carried away from grace:
-there is a devil haunts thee in the likeness of an
-old fat man; a tun of man is thy companion. Why
-dost thou converse with that trunk of humours, that
-bolting-hutch of beastliness, that swollen parcel
-of dropsies, that huge bombard of sack, that stuffed
-cloak-bag of guts, that roasted Manningtree ox with
-the pudding in his belly, that reverend vice, that
-grey iniquity, that father ruffian, that vanity in
-years? Wherein is he good, but to taste sack and
-drink it? wherein neat and cleanly, but to carve a
-capon and eat it? wherein cunning, but in craft?
-wherein crafty, but in villany? wherein villanous,
-but in all things? wherein worthy, but in nothing?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-I would your grace would take me with you: whom
-means your grace?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-That villanous abominable misleader of youth,
-Falstaff, that old white-bearded Satan.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-My lord, the man I know.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I know thou dost.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-But to say I know more harm in him than in myself,
-were to say more than I know. That he is old, the
-more the pity, his white hairs do witness it; but
-that he is, saving your reverence, a whoremaster,
-that I utterly deny. If sack and sugar be a fault,
-God help the wicked! if to be old and merry be a
-sin, then many an old host that I know is damned: if
-to be fat be to be hated, then Pharaoh's lean kine
-are to be loved. No, my good lord; banish Peto,
-banish Bardolph, banish Poins: but for sweet Jack
-Falstaff, kind Jack Falstaff, true Jack Falstaff,
-valiant Jack Falstaff, and therefore more valiant,
-being, as he is, old Jack Falstaff, banish not him
-thy Harry's company, banish not him thy Harry's
-company: banish plump Jack, and banish all the world.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I do, I will.
-

A knocking heard

-

Exeunt Hostess, FRANCIS, and BARDOLPH

-

Re-enter BARDOLPH, running

-
- -BARDOLPH -
-O, my lord, my lord! the sheriff with a most
-monstrous watch is at the door.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Out, ye rogue! Play out the play: I have much to
-say in the behalf of that Falstaff.
-

Re-enter the Hostess

-
- -Hostess -
-O Jesu, my lord, my lord!
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Heigh, heigh! the devil rides upon a fiddlestick:
-what's the matter?
-
- -Hostess -
-The sheriff and all the watch are at the door: they
-are come to search the house. Shall I let them in?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Dost thou hear, Hal? never call a true piece of
-gold a counterfeit: thou art essentially mad,
-without seeming so.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-And thou a natural coward, without instinct.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-I deny your major: if you will deny the sheriff,
-so; if not, let him enter: if I become not a cart
-as well as another man, a plague on my bringing up!
-I hope I shall as soon be strangled with a halter as another.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Go, hide thee behind the arras: the rest walk up
-above. Now, my masters, for a true face and good
-conscience.

- -FALSTAFF -
-Both which I have had: but their date is out, and
-therefore I'll hide me.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Call in the sheriff.
-

Exeunt all except PRINCE HENRY and PETO

-

Enter Sheriff and the Carrier

-Now, master sheriff, what is your will with me?
-
- -Sheriff -
-First, pardon me, my lord. A hue and cry
-Hath follow'd certain men unto this house.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What men?
-
- -Sheriff -
-One of them is well known, my gracious lord,
-A gross fat man.
-
- -Carrier -
- As fat as butter.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-The man, I do assure you, is not here;
-For I myself at this time have employ'd him.
-And, sheriff, I will engage my word to thee
-That I will, by to-morrow dinner-time,
-Send him to answer thee, or any man,
-For any thing he shall be charged withal:
-And so let me entreat you leave the house.
-
- -Sheriff -
-I will, my lord. There are two gentlemen
-Have in this robbery lost three hundred marks.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-It may be so: if he have robb'd these men,
-He shall be answerable; and so farewell.
-
- -Sheriff -
-Good night, my noble lord.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I think it is good morrow, is it not?
-
- -Sheriff -
-Indeed, my lord, I think it be two o'clock.
-

Exeunt Sheriff and Carrier

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-This oily rascal is known as well as Paul's. Go,
-call him forth.
-
- -PETO -
-Falstaff!--Fast asleep behind the arras, and
-snorting like a horse.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Hark, how hard he fetches breath. Search his pockets.
-

He searcheth his pockets, and findeth certain papers

-What hast thou found?
-
- -PETO -
-Nothing but papers, my lord.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Let's see what they be: read them.
-
- -PETO -
-[Reads] Item, A capon,. . 2s. 2d.
-Item, Sauce,. . . 4d.
-Item, Sack, two gallons, 5s. 8d.
-Item, Anchovies and sack after supper, 2s. 6d.
-Item, Bread, ob.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-O monstrous! but one half-penny-worth of bread to
-this intolerable deal of sack! What there is else,
-keep close; we'll read it at more advantage: there
-let him sleep till day. I'll to the court in the
-morning. We must all to the wars, and thy place
-shall be honourable. I'll procure this fat rogue a
-charge of foot; and I know his death will be a
-march of twelve-score. The money shall be paid
-back again with advantage. Be with me betimes in
-the morning; and so, good morrow, Peto.
-

Exeunt

-
- -PETO -
-Good morrow, good my lord.

SCENE I. Bangor. The Archdeacon's house.

- -

-Enter HOTSPUR, WORCESTER, MORTIMER, and GLENDOWER -
- -MORTIMER -
-These promises are fair, the parties sure,
-And our induction full of prosperous hope.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Lord Mortimer, and cousin Glendower,
-Will you sit down?
-And uncle Worcester: a plague upon it!
-I have forgot the map.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-No, here it is.
-Sit, cousin Percy; sit, good cousin Hotspur,
-For by that name as oft as Lancaster
-Doth speak of you, his cheek looks pale and with
-A rising sigh he wisheth you in heaven.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-And you in hell, as oft as he hears Owen Glendower spoke of.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-I cannot blame him: at my nativity
-The front of heaven was full of fiery shapes,
-Of burning cressets; and at my birth
-The frame and huge foundation of the earth
-Shaked like a coward.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Why, so it would have done at the same season, if
-your mother's cat had but kittened, though yourself
-had never been born.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-I say the earth did shake when I was born.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-And I say the earth was not of my mind,
-If you suppose as fearing you it shook.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-The heavens were all on fire, the earth did tremble.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-O, then the earth shook to see the heavens on fire,
-And not in fear of your nativity.
-Diseased nature oftentimes breaks forth
-In strange eruptions; oft the teeming earth
-Is with a kind of colic pinch'd and vex'd
-By the imprisoning of unruly wind
-Within her womb; which, for enlargement striving,
-Shakes the old beldam earth and topples down
-Steeples and moss-grown towers. At your birth
-Our grandam earth, having this distemperature,
-In passion shook.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
- Cousin, of many men
-I do not bear these crossings. Give me leave
-To tell you once again that at my birth
-The front of heaven was full of fiery shapes,
-The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds
-Were strangely clamorous to the frighted fields.
-These signs have mark'd me extraordinary;
-And all the courses of my life do show
-I am not in the roll of common men.
-Where is he living, clipp'd in with the sea
-That chides the banks of England, Scotland, Wales,
-Which calls me pupil, or hath read to me?
-And bring him out that is but woman's son
-Can trace me in the tedious ways of art
-And hold me pace in deep experiments.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I think there's no man speaks better Welsh.
-I'll to dinner.
-
- -MORTIMER -
-Peace, cousin Percy; you will make him mad.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Why, so can I, or so can any man;
-But will they come when you do call for them?
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-Why, I can teach you, cousin, to command
-The devil.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-And I can teach thee, coz, to shame the devil
-By telling truth: tell truth and shame the devil.
-If thou have power to raise him, bring him hither,
-And I'll be sworn I have power to shame him hence.
-O, while you live, tell truth and shame the devil!
-
- -MORTIMER -
-Come, come, no more of this unprofitable chat.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-Three times hath Henry Bolingbroke made head
-Against my power; thrice from the banks of Wye
-And sandy-bottom'd Severn have I sent him
-Bootless home and weather-beaten back.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Home without boots, and in foul weather too!
-How 'scapes he agues, in the devil's name?
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-Come, here's the map: shall we divide our right
-According to our threefold order ta'en?
-
- -MORTIMER -
-The archdeacon hath divided it
-Into three limits very equally:
-England, from Trent and Severn hitherto,
-By south and east is to my part assign'd:
-All westward, Wales beyond the Severn shore,
-And all the fertile land within that bound,
-To Owen Glendower: and, dear coz, to you
-The remnant northward, lying off from Trent.
-And our indentures tripartite are drawn;
-Which being sealed interchangeably,
-A business that this night may execute,
-To-morrow, cousin Percy, you and I
-And my good Lord of Worcester will set forth
-To meet your father and the Scottish power,
-As is appointed us, at Shrewsbury.
-My father Glendower is not ready yet,
-Not shall we need his help these fourteen days.
-Within that space you may have drawn together
-Your tenants, friends and neighbouring gentlemen.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-A shorter time shall send me to you, lords:
-And in my conduct shall your ladies come;
-From whom you now must steal and take no leave,
-For there will be a world of water shed
-Upon the parting of your wives and you.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Methinks my moiety, north from Burton here,
-In quantity equals not one of yours:
-See how this river comes me cranking in,
-And cuts me from the best of all my land
-A huge half-moon, a monstrous cantle out.
-I'll have the current in this place damm'd up;
-And here the smug and silver Trent shall run
-In a new channel, fair and evenly;
-It shall not wind with such a deep indent,
-To rob me of so rich a bottom here.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-Not wind? it shall, it must; you see it doth.
-
- -MORTIMER -
-Yea, but
-Mark how he bears his course, and runs me up
-With like advantage on the other side;
-Gelding the opposed continent as much
-As on the other side it takes from you.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Yea, but a little charge will trench him here
-And on this north side win this cape of land;
-And then he runs straight and even.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I'll have it so: a little charge will do it.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-I'll not have it alter'd.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Will not you?
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-No, nor you shall not.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Who shall say me nay?
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-Why, that will I.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Let me not understand you, then; speak it in Welsh.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-I can speak English, lord, as well as you;
-For I was train'd up in the English court;
-Where, being but young, I framed to the harp
-Many an English ditty lovely well
-And gave the tongue a helpful ornament,
-A virtue that was never seen in you.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Marry,
-And I am glad of it with all my heart:
-I had rather be a kitten and cry mew
-Than one of these same metre ballad-mongers;
-I had rather hear a brazen canstick turn'd,
-Or a dry wheel grate on the axle-tree;
-And that would set my teeth nothing on edge,
-Nothing so much as mincing poetry:
-'Tis like the forced gait of a shuffling nag.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-Come, you shall have Trent turn'd.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I do not care: I'll give thrice so much land
-To any well-deserving friend;
-But in the way of bargain, mark ye me,
-I'll cavil on the ninth part of a hair.
-Are the indentures drawn? shall we be gone?
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-The moon shines fair; you may away by night:
-I'll haste the writer and withal
-Break with your wives of your departure hence:
-I am afraid my daughter will run mad,
-So much she doteth on her Mortimer.
-

Exit GLENDOWER

-
- -MORTIMER -
-Fie, cousin Percy! how you cross my father!
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I cannot choose: sometime he angers me
-With telling me of the mouldwarp and the ant,
-Of the dreamer Merlin and his prophecies,
-And of a dragon and a finless fish,
-A clip-wing'd griffin and a moulten raven,
-A couching lion and a ramping cat,
-And such a deal of skimble-skamble stuff
-As puts me from my faith. I tell you what;
-He held me last night at least nine hours
-In reckoning up the several devils' names
-That were his lackeys: I cried 'hum,' and 'well, go to,'
-But mark'd him not a word. O, he is as tedious
-As a tired horse, a railing wife;
-Worse than a smoky house: I had rather live
-With cheese and garlic in a windmill, far,
-Than feed on cates and have him talk to me
-In any summer-house in Christendom.
-
- -MORTIMER -
-In faith, he is a worthy gentleman,
-Exceedingly well read, and profited
-In strange concealments, valiant as a lion
-And as wondrous affable and as bountiful
-As mines of India. Shall I tell you, cousin?
-He holds your temper in a high respect
-And curbs himself even of his natural scope
-When you come 'cross his humour; faith, he does:
-I warrant you, that man is not alive
-Might so have tempted him as you have done,
-Without the taste of danger and reproof:
-But do not use it oft, let me entreat you.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-In faith, my lord, you are too wilful-blame;
-And since your coming hither have done enough
-To put him quite beside his patience.
-You must needs learn, lord, to amend this fault:
-Though sometimes it show greatness, courage, blood,--
-And that's the dearest grace it renders you,--
-Yet oftentimes it doth present harsh rage,
-Defect of manners, want of government,
-Pride, haughtiness, opinion and disdain:
-The least of which haunting a nobleman
-Loseth men's hearts and leaves behind a stain
-Upon the beauty of all parts besides,
-Beguiling them of commendation.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Well, I am school'd: good manners be your speed!
-Here come our wives, and let us take our leave.
-

Re-enter GLENDOWER with the ladies

-
- -MORTIMER -
-This is the deadly spite that angers me;
-My wife can speak no English, I no Welsh.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-My daughter weeps: she will not part with you;
-She'll be a soldier too, she'll to the wars.
-
- -MORTIMER -
-Good father, tell her that she and my aunt Percy
-Shall follow in your conduct speedily.
-

Glendower speaks to her in Welsh, and she answers him in the same

-
- -GLENDOWER -
-She is desperate here; a peevish self-wind harlotry,
-one that no persuasion can do good upon.
-

The lady speaks in Welsh

-
- -MORTIMER -
-I understand thy looks: that pretty Welsh
-Which thou pour'st down from these swelling heavens
-I am too perfect in; and, but for shame,
-In such a parley should I answer thee.
-

The lady speaks again in Welsh

-I understand thy kisses and thou mine,
-And that's a feeling disputation:
-But I will never be a truant, love,
-Till I have learned thy language; for thy tongue
-Makes Welsh as sweet as ditties highly penn'd,
-Sung by a fair queen in a summer's bower,
-With ravishing division, to her lute.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-Nay, if you melt, then will she run mad.
-

The lady speaks again in Welsh

-
- -MORTIMER -
-O, I am ignorance itself in this!
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-She bids you on the wanton rushes lay you down
-And rest your gentle head upon her lap,
-And she will sing the song that pleaseth you
-And on your eyelids crown the god of sleep.
-Charming your blood with pleasing heaviness,
-Making such difference 'twixt wake and sleep
-As is the difference betwixt day and night
-The hour before the heavenly-harness'd team
-Begins his golden progress in the east.
-
- -MORTIMER -
-With all my heart I'll sit and hear her sing:
-By that time will our book, I think, be drawn
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-Do so;
-And those musicians that shall play to you
-Hang in the air a thousand leagues from hence,
-And straight they shall be here: sit, and attend.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Come, Kate, thou art perfect in lying down: come,
-quick, quick, that I may lay my head in thy lap.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-Go, ye giddy goose.
-

The music plays

-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Now I perceive the devil understands Welsh;
-And 'tis no marvel he is so humorous.
-By'r lady, he is a good musician.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-Then should you be nothing but musical for you are
-altogether governed by humours. Lie still, ye thief,
-and hear the lady sing in Welsh.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I had rather hear Lady, my brach, howl in Irish.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-Wouldst thou have thy head broken?
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-No.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-Then be still.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Neither;'tis a woman's fault.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-Now God help thee!
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-To the Welsh lady's bed.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-What's that?
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Peace! she sings.
-

Here the lady sings a Welsh song

-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Come, Kate, I'll have your song too.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-Not mine, in good sooth.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Not yours, in good sooth! Heart! you swear like a
-comfit-maker's wife. 'Not you, in good sooth,' and
-'as true as I live,' and 'as God shall mend me,' and
-'as sure as day,'
-And givest such sarcenet surety for thy oaths,
-As if thou never walk'st further than Finsbury.
-Swear me, Kate, like a lady as thou art,
-A good mouth-filling oath, and leave 'in sooth,'
-And such protest of pepper-gingerbread,
-To velvet-guards and Sunday-citizens.
-Come, sing.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-I will not sing.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-'Tis the next way to turn tailor, or be red-breast
-teacher. An the indentures be drawn, I'll away
-within these two hours; and so, come in when ye will.
-

Exit

-
- -GLENDOWER -
-Come, come, Lord Mortimer; you are as slow
-As hot Lord Percy is on fire to go.
-By this our book is drawn; we'll but seal,
-And then to horse immediately.
-
- -MORTIMER -
-With all my heart.
-

-Enter KING HENRY IV, PRINCE HENRY, and others -
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Lords, give us leave; the Prince of Wales and I
-Must have some private conference; but be near at hand,
-For we shall presently have need of you.
-

Exeunt Lords

-I know not whether God will have it so,
-For some displeasing service I have done,
-That, in his secret doom, out of my blood
-He'll breed revengement and a scourge for me;
-But thou dost in thy passages of life
-Make me believe that thou art only mark'd
-For the hot vengeance and the rod of heaven
-To punish my mistreadings. Tell me else,
-Could such inordinate and low desires,
-Such poor, such bare, such lewd, such mean attempts,
-Such barren pleasures, rude society,
-As thou art match'd withal and grafted to,
-Accompany the greatness of thy blood
-And hold their level with thy princely heart?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-So please your majesty, I would I could
-Quit all offences with as clear excuse
-As well as I am doubtless I can purge
-Myself of many I am charged withal:
-Yet such extenuation let me beg,
-As, in reproof of many tales devised,
-which oft the ear of greatness needs must hear,
-By smiling pick-thanks and base news-mongers,
-I may, for some things true, wherein my youth
-Hath faulty wander'd and irregular,
-Find pardon on my true submission.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-God pardon thee! yet let me wonder, Harry,
-At thy affections, which do hold a wing
-Quite from the flight of all thy ancestors.
-Thy place in council thou hast rudely lost.
-Which by thy younger brother is supplied,
-And art almost an alien to the hearts
-Of all the court and princes of my blood:
-The hope and expectation of thy time
-Is ruin'd, and the soul of every man
-Prophetically doth forethink thy fall.
-Had I so lavish of my presence been,
-So common-hackney'd in the eyes of men,
-So stale and cheap to vulgar company,
-Opinion, that did help me to the crown,
-Had still kept loyal to possession
-And left me in reputeless banishment,
-A fellow of no mark nor likelihood.
-By being seldom seen, I could not stir
-But like a comet I was wonder'd at;
-That men would tell their children 'This is he;'
-Others would say 'Where, which is Bolingbroke?'
-And then I stole all courtesy from heaven,
-And dress'd myself in such humility
-That I did pluck allegiance from men's hearts,
-Loud shouts and salutations from their mouths,
-Even in the presence of the crowned king.
-Thus did I keep my person fresh and new;
-My presence, like a robe pontifical,
-Ne'er seen but wonder'd at: and so my state,
-Seldom but sumptuous, showed like a feast
-And won by rareness such solemnity.
-The skipping king, he ambled up and down
-With shallow jesters and rash bavin wits,
-Soon kindled and soon burnt; carded his state,
-Mingled his royalty with capering fools,
-Had his great name profaned with their scorns
-And gave his countenance, against his name,
-To laugh at gibing boys and stand the push
-Of every beardless vain comparative,
-Grew a companion to the common streets,
-Enfeoff'd himself to popularity;
-That, being daily swallow'd by men's eyes,
-They surfeited with honey and began
-To loathe the taste of sweetness, whereof a little
-More than a little is by much too much.
-So when he had occasion to be seen,
-He was but as the cuckoo is in June,
-Heard, not regarded; seen, but with such eyes
-As, sick and blunted with community,
-Afford no extraordinary gaze,
-Such as is bent on sun-like majesty
-When it shines seldom in admiring eyes;
-But rather drowzed and hung their eyelids down,
-Slept in his face and render'd such aspect
-As cloudy men use to their adversaries,
-Being with his presence glutted, gorged and full.
-And in that very line, Harry, standest thou;
-For thou has lost thy princely privilege
-With vile participation: not an eye
-But is a-weary of thy common sight,
-Save mine, which hath desired to see thee more;
-Which now doth that I would not have it do,
-Make blind itself with foolish tenderness.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I shall hereafter, my thrice gracious lord,
-Be more myself.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
- For all the world
-As thou art to this hour was Richard then
-When I from France set foot at Ravenspurgh,
-And even as I was then is Percy now.
-Now, by my sceptre and my soul to boot,
-He hath more worthy interest to the state
-Than thou the shadow of succession;
-For of no right, nor colour like to right,
-He doth fill fields with harness in the realm,
-Turns head against the lion's armed jaws,
-And, being no more in debt to years than thou,
-Leads ancient lords and reverend bishops on
-To bloody battles and to bruising arms.
-What never-dying honour hath he got
-Against renowned Douglas! whose high deeds,
-Whose hot incursions and great name in arms
-Holds from all soldiers chief majority
-And military title capital
-Through all the kingdoms that acknowledge Christ:
-Thrice hath this Hotspur, Mars in swathling clothes,
-This infant warrior, in his enterprises
-Discomfited great Douglas, ta'en him once,
-Enlarged him and made a friend of him,
-To fill the mouth of deep defiance up
-And shake the peace and safety of our throne.
-And what say you to this? Percy, Northumberland,
-The Archbishop's grace of York, Douglas, Mortimer,
-Capitulate against us and are up.
-But wherefore do I tell these news to thee?
-Why, Harry, do I tell thee of my foes,
-Which art my near'st and dearest enemy?
-Thou that art like enough, through vassal fear,
-Base inclination and the start of spleen
-To fight against me under Percy's pay,
-To dog his heels and curtsy at his frowns,
-To show how much thou art degenerate.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Do not think so; you shall not find it so:
-And God forgive them that so much have sway'd
-Your majesty's good thoughts away from me!
-I will redeem all this on Percy's head
-And in the closing of some glorious day
-Be bold to tell you that I am your son;
-When I will wear a garment all of blood
-And stain my favours in a bloody mask,
-Which, wash'd away, shall scour my shame with it:
-And that shall be the day, whene'er it lights,
-That this same child of honour and renown,
-This gallant Hotspur, this all-praised knight,
-And your unthought-of Harry chance to meet.
-For every honour sitting on his helm,
-Would they were multitudes, and on my head
-My shames redoubled! for the time will come,
-That I shall make this northern youth exchange
-His glorious deeds for my indignities.
-Percy is but my factor, good my lord,
-To engross up glorious deeds on my behalf;
-And I will call him to so strict account,
-That he shall render every glory up,
-Yea, even the slightest worship of his time,
-Or I will tear the reckoning from his heart.
-This, in the name of God, I promise here:
-The which if He be pleased I shall perform,
-I do beseech your majesty may salve
-The long-grown wounds of my intemperance:
-If not, the end of life cancels all bands;
-And I will die a hundred thousand deaths
-Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-A hundred thousand rebels die in this:
-Thou shalt have charge and sovereign trust herein.
-

Enter BLUNT

-How now, good Blunt? thy looks are full of speed.
-
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-So hath the business that I come to speak of.
-Lord Mortimer of Scotland hath sent word
-That Douglas and the English rebels met
-The eleventh of this month at Shrewsbury
-A mighty and a fearful head they are,
-If promises be kept on every hand,
-As ever offer'd foul play in the state.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-The Earl of Westmoreland set forth to-day;
-With him my son, Lord John of Lancaster;
-For this advertisement is five days old:
-On Wednesday next, Harry, you shall set forward;
-On Thursday we ourselves will march: our meeting
-Is Bridgenorth: and, Harry, you shall march
-Through Gloucestershire; by which account,
-Our business valued, some twelve days hence
-Our general forces at Bridgenorth shall meet.
-Our hands are full of business: let's away;
-Advantage feeds him fat, while men delay.

-Bardolph, am I not fallen away vilely since this last
-action? do I not bate? do I not dwindle? Why my
-skin hangs about me like an like an old lady's loose
-gown; I am withered like an old apple-john. Well,
-I'll repent, and that suddenly, while I am in some
-liking; I shall be out of heart shortly, and then I
-shall have no strength to repent. An I have not
-forgotten what the inside of a church is made of, I
-am a peppercorn, a brewer's horse: the inside of a
-church! Company, villanous company, hath been the
-spoil of me.
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-Sir John, you are so fretful, you cannot live long.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Why, there is it: come sing me a bawdy song; make
-me merry. I was as virtuously given as a gentleman
-need to be; virtuous enough; swore little; diced not
-above seven times a week; went to a bawdy-house once
-in a quarter--of an hour; paid money that I
-borrowed, three of four times; lived well and in
-good compass: and now I live out of all order, out
-of all compass.
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-Why, you are so fat, Sir John, that you must needs
-be out of all compass, out of all reasonable
-compass, Sir John.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Do thou amend thy face, and I'll amend my life:
-thou art our admiral, thou bearest the lantern in
-the poop, but 'tis in the nose of thee; thou art the
-Knight of the Burning Lamp.
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-Why, Sir John, my face does you no harm.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-No, I'll be sworn; I make as good use of it as many
-a man doth of a Death's-head or a memento mori: I
-never see thy face but I think upon hell-fire and
-Dives that lived in purple; for there he is in his
-robes, burning, burning. If thou wert any way
-given to virtue, I would swear by thy face; my oath
-should be 'By this fire, that's God's angel:' but
-thou art altogether given over; and wert indeed, but
-for the light in thy face, the son of utter
-darkness. When thou rannest up Gadshill in the
-night to catch my horse, if I did not think thou
-hadst been an ignis fatuus or a ball of wildfire,
-there's no purchase in money. O, thou art a
-perpetual triumph, an everlasting bonfire-light!
-Thou hast saved me a thousand marks in links and
-torches, walking with thee in the night betwixt
-tavern and tavern: but the sack that thou hast
-drunk me would have bought me lights as good cheap
-at the dearest chandler's in Europe. I have
-maintained that salamander of yours with fire any
-time this two and thirty years; God reward me for
-it!
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-'Sblood, I would my face were in your belly!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-God-a-mercy! so should I be sure to be heart-burned.
-

Enter Hostess

-How now, Dame Partlet the hen! have you inquired
-yet who picked my pocket?
-
- -Hostess -
-Why, Sir John, what do you think, Sir John? do you
-think I keep thieves in my house? I have searched,
-I have inquired, so has my husband, man by man, boy
-by boy, servant by servant: the tithe of a hair
-was never lost in my house before.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Ye lie, hostess: Bardolph was shaved and lost many
-a hair; and I'll be sworn my pocket was picked. Go
-to, you are a woman, go.
-
- -Hostess -
-Who, I? no; I defy thee: God's light, I was never
-called so in mine own house before.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Go to, I know you well enough.
-
- -Hostess -
-No, Sir John; You do not know me, Sir John. I know
-you, Sir John: you owe me money, Sir John; and now
-you pick a quarrel to beguile me of it: I bought
-you a dozen of shirts to your back.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Dowlas, filthy dowlas: I have given them away to
-bakers' wives, and they have made bolters of them.
-
- -Hostess -
-Now, as I am a true woman, holland of eight
-shillings an ell. You owe money here besides, Sir
-John, for your diet and by-drinkings, and money lent
-you, four and twenty pound.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-He had his part of it; let him pay.
-
- -Hostess -
-He? alas, he is poor; he hath nothing.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-How! poor? look upon his face; what call you rich?
-let them coin his nose, let them coin his cheeks:
-Ill not pay a denier. What, will you make a younker
-of me? shall I not take mine case in mine inn but I
-shall have my pocket picked? I have lost a
-seal-ring of my grandfather's worth forty mark.
-
- -Hostess -
-O Jesu, I have heard the prince tell him, I know not
-how oft, that ring was copper!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-How! the prince is a Jack, a sneak-cup: 'sblood, an
-he were here, I would cudgel him like a dog, if he
-would say so.
-

Enter PRINCE HENRY and PETO, marching, and FALSTAFF meets them playing on his truncheon like a life

-How now, lad! is the wind in that door, i' faith?
-must we all march?
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-Yea, two and two, Newgate fashion.
-
- -Hostess -
-My lord, I pray you, hear me.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What sayest thou, Mistress Quickly? How doth thy
-husband? I love him well; he is an honest man.
-
- -Hostess -
-Good my lord, hear me.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Prithee, let her alone, and list to me.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What sayest thou, Jack?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-The other night I fell asleep here behind the arras
-and had my pocket picked: this house is turned
-bawdy-house; they pick pockets.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What didst thou lose, Jack?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Wilt thou believe me, Hal? three or four bonds of
-forty pound apiece, and a seal-ring of my
-grandfather's.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-A trifle, some eight-penny matter.
-
- -Hostess -
-So I told him, my lord; and I said I heard your
-grace say so: and, my lord, he speaks most vilely
-of you, like a foul-mouthed man as he is; and said
-he would cudgel you.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What! he did not?
-
- -Hostess -
-There's neither faith, truth, nor womanhood in me else.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-There's no more faith in thee than in a stewed
-prune; nor no more truth in thee than in a drawn
-fox; and for womanhood, Maid Marian may be the
-deputy's wife of the ward to thee. Go, you thing,
-go
-
- -Hostess -
-Say, what thing? what thing?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-What thing! why, a thing to thank God on.
-
- -Hostess -
-I am no thing to thank God on, I would thou
-shouldst know it; I am an honest man's wife: and,
-setting thy knighthood aside, thou art a knave to
-call me so.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Setting thy womanhood aside, thou art a beast to say
-otherwise.
-
- -Hostess -
-Say, what beast, thou knave, thou?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-What beast! why, an otter.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-An otter, Sir John! Why an otter?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Why, she's neither fish nor flesh; a man knows not
-where to have her.
-
- -Hostess -
-Thou art an unjust man in saying so: thou or any
-man knows where to have me, thou knave, thou!
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Thou sayest true, hostess; and he slanders thee most grossly.
-
- -Hostess -
-So he doth you, my lord; and said this other day you
-ought him a thousand pound.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Sirrah, do I owe you a thousand pound?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-A thousand pound, Ha! a million: thy love is worth
-a million: thou owest me thy love.
-
- -Hostess -
-Nay, my lord, he called you Jack, and said he would
-cudgel you.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Did I, Bardolph?
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-Indeed, Sir John, you said so.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Yea, if he said my ring was copper.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I say 'tis copper: darest thou be as good as thy word now?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Why, Hal, thou knowest, as thou art but man, I dare:
-but as thou art prince, I fear thee as I fear the
-roaring of a lion's whelp.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-And why not as the lion?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-The king is to be feared as the lion: dost thou
-think I'll fear thee as I fear thy father? nay, an
-I do, I pray God my girdle break.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-O, if it should, how would thy guts fall about thy
-knees! But, sirrah, there's no room for faith,
-truth, nor honesty in this bosom of thine; it is all
-filled up with guts and midriff. Charge an honest
-woman with picking thy pocket! why, thou whoreson,
-impudent, embossed rascal, if there were anything in
-thy pocket but tavern-reckonings, memorandums of
-bawdy-houses, and one poor penny-worth of
-sugar-candy to make thee long-winded, if thy pocket
-were enriched with any other injuries but these, I
-am a villain: and yet you will stand to if; you will
-not pocket up wrong: art thou not ashamed?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Dost thou hear, Hal? thou knowest in the state of
-innocency Adam fell; and what should poor Jack
-Falstaff do in the days of villany? Thou seest I
-have more flesh than another man, and therefore more
-frailty. You confess then, you picked my pocket?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-It appears so by the story.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Hostess, I forgive thee: go, make ready breakfast;
-love thy husband, look to thy servants, cherish thy
-guests: thou shalt find me tractable to any honest
-reason: thou seest I am pacified still. Nay,
-prithee, be gone.
-

Exit Hostess

-Now Hal, to the news at court: for the robbery,
-lad, how is that answered?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-O, my sweet beef, I must still be good angel to
-thee: the money is paid back again.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-O, I do not like that paying back; 'tis a double labour.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I am good friends with my father and may do any thing.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Rob me the exchequer the first thing thou doest, and
-do it with unwashed hands too.
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-Do, my lord.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I have procured thee, Jack, a charge of foot.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-I would it had been of horse. Where shall I find
-one that can steal well? O for a fine thief, of the
-age of two and twenty or thereabouts! I am
-heinously unprovided. Well, God be thanked for
-these rebels, they offend none but the virtuous: I
-laud them, I praise them.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Bardolph!
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-My lord?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Go bear this letter to Lord John of Lancaster, to my
-brother John; this to my Lord of Westmoreland.
-

Exit Bardolph

-Go, Peto, to horse, to horse; for thou and I have
-thirty miles to ride yet ere dinner time.
-

Exit Peto

-Jack, meet me to-morrow in the temple hall at two
-o'clock in the afternoon.
-There shalt thou know thy charge; and there receive
-Money and order for their furniture.
-The land is burning; Percy stands on high;
-And either we or they must lower lie.
-

Exit PRINCE HENRY

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Rare words! brave world! Hostess, my breakfast, come!
-O, I could wish this tavern were my drum!

SCENE I. The rebel camp near Shrewsbury.

- -

-Enter HOTSPUR, WORCESTER, and DOUGLAS -
- -HOTSPUR -
-Well said, my noble Scot: if speaking truth
-In this fine age were not thought flattery,
-Such attribution should the Douglas have,
-As not a soldier of this season's stamp
-Should go so general current through the world.
-By God, I cannot flatter; I do defy
-The tongues of soothers; but a braver place
-In my heart's love hath no man than yourself:
-Nay, task me to my word; approve me, lord.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-Thou art the king of honour:
-No man so potent breathes upon the ground
-But I will beard him.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Do so, and 'tis well.
-

Enter a Messenger with letters

-What letters hast thou there?--I can but thank you.
-
- -Messenger -
-These letters come from your father.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Letters from him! why comes he not himself?
-
- -Messenger -
-He cannot come, my lord; he is grievous sick.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-'Zounds! how has he the leisure to be sick
-In such a rustling time? Who leads his power?
-Under whose government come they along?
-
- -Messenger -
-His letters bear his mind, not I, my lord.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-I prithee, tell me, doth he keep his bed?
-
- -Messenger -
-He did, my lord, four days ere I set forth;
-And at the time of my departure thence
-He was much fear'd by his physicians.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-I would the state of time had first been whole
-Ere he by sickness had been visited:
-His health was never better worth than now.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Sick now! droop now! this sickness doth infect
-The very life-blood of our enterprise;
-'Tis catching hither, even to our camp.
-He writes me here, that inward sickness--
-And that his friends by deputation could not
-So soon be drawn, nor did he think it meet
-To lay so dangerous and dear a trust
-On any soul removed but on his own.
-Yet doth he give us bold advertisement,
-That with our small conjunction we should on,
-To see how fortune is disposed to us;
-For, as he writes, there is no quailing now.
-Because the king is certainly possess'd
-Of all our purposes. What say you to it?
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Your father's sickness is a maim to us.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-A perilous gash, a very limb lopp'd off:
-And yet, in faith, it is not; his present want
-Seems more than we shall find it: were it good
-To set the exact wealth of all our states
-All at one cast? to set so rich a main
-On the nice hazard of one doubtful hour?
-It were not good; for therein should we read
-The very bottom and the soul of hope,
-The very list, the very utmost bound
-Of all our fortunes.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-'Faith, and so we should;
-Where now remains a sweet reversion:
-We may boldly spend upon the hope of what
-Is to come in:
-A comfort of retirement lives in this.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-A rendezvous, a home to fly unto.
-If that the devil and mischance look big
-Upon the maidenhead of our affairs.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-But yet I would your father had been here.
-The quality and hair of our attempt
-Brooks no division: it will be thought
-By some, that know not why he is away,
-That wisdom, loyalty and mere dislike
-Of our proceedings kept the earl from hence:
-And think how such an apprehension
-May turn the tide of fearful faction
-And breed a kind of question in our cause;
-For well you know we of the offering side
-Must keep aloof from strict arbitrement,
-And stop all sight-holes, every loop from whence
-The eye of reason may pry in upon us:
-This absence of your father's draws a curtain,
-That shows the ignorant a kind of fear
-Before not dreamt of.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-You strain too far.
-I rather of his absence make this use:
-It lends a lustre and more great opinion,
-A larger dare to our great enterprise,
-Than if the earl were here; for men must think,
-If we without his help can make a head
-To push against a kingdom, with his help
-We shall o'erturn it topsy-turvy down.
-Yet all goes well, yet all our joints are whole.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-As heart can think: there is not such a word
-Spoke of in Scotland as this term of fear.
-

Enter SIR RICHARD VERNON

-
- -HOTSPUR -
-My cousin Vernon, welcome, by my soul.
-
- -VERNON -
-Pray God my news be worth a welcome, lord.
-The Earl of Westmoreland, seven thousand strong,
-Is marching hitherwards; with him Prince John.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-No harm: what more?
-
- -VERNON -
-And further, I have learn'd,
-The king himself in person is set forth,
-Or hitherwards intended speedily,
-With strong and mighty preparation.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-He shall be welcome too. Where is his son,
-The nimble-footed madcap Prince of Wales,
-And his comrades, that daff'd the world aside,
-And bid it pass?
-
- -VERNON -
- All furnish'd, all in arms;
-All plumed like estridges that with the wind
-Baited like eagles having lately bathed;
-Glittering in golden coats, like images;
-As full of spirit as the month of May,
-And gorgeous as the sun at midsummer;
-Wanton as youthful goats, wild as young bulls.
-I saw young Harry, with his beaver on,
-His cuisses on his thighs, gallantly arm'd
-Rise from the ground like feather'd Mercury,
-And vaulted with such ease into his seat,
-As if an angel dropp'd down from the clouds,
-To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus
-And witch the world with noble horsemanship.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-No more, no more: worse than the sun in March,
-This praise doth nourish agues. Let them come:
-They come like sacrifices in their trim,
-And to the fire-eyed maid of smoky war
-All hot and bleeding will we offer them:
-The mailed Mars shall on his altar sit
-Up to the ears in blood. I am on fire
-To hear this rich reprisal is so nigh
-And yet not ours. Come, let me taste my horse,
-Who is to bear me like a thunderbolt
-Against the bosom of the Prince of Wales:
-Harry to Harry shall, hot horse to horse,
-Meet and ne'er part till one drop down a corse.
-O that Glendower were come!
-
- -VERNON -
-There is more news:
-I learn'd in Worcester, as I rode along,
-He cannot draw his power this fourteen days.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-That's the worst tidings that I hear of yet.
-
- -WORCESTER -
-Ay, by my faith, that bears a frosty sound.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-What may the king's whole battle reach unto?
-
- -VERNON -
-To thirty thousand.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Forty let it be:
-My father and Glendower being both away,
-The powers of us may serve so great a day
-Come, let us take a muster speedily:
-Doomsday is near; die all, die merrily.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-Talk not of dying: I am out of fear
-Of death or death's hand for this one-half year.

-Enter FALSTAFF and BARDOLPH -
- -FALSTAFF -
-Bardolph, get thee before to Coventry; fill me a
-bottle of sack: our soldiers shall march through;
-we'll to Sutton Co'fil' tonight.
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-Will you give me money, captain?

-

Exit

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-If I be not ashamed of my soldiers, I am a soused
-gurnet. I have misused the king's press damnably.
-I have got, in exchange of a hundred and fifty
-soldiers, three hundred and odd pounds. I press me
-none but good house-holders, yeoman's sons; inquire
-me out contracted bachelors, such as had been asked
-twice on the banns; such a commodity of warm slaves,
-as had as lieve hear the devil as a drum; such as
-fear the report of a caliver worse than a struck
-fowl or a hurt wild-duck. I pressed me none but such
-toasts-and-butter, with hearts in their bellies no
-bigger than pins' heads, and they have bought out
-their services; and now my whole charge consists of
-ancients, corporals, lieutenants, gentlemen of
-companies, slaves as ragged as Lazarus in the
-painted cloth, where the glutton's dogs licked his
-sores; and such as indeed were never soldiers, but
-discarded unjust serving-men, younger sons to
-younger brothers, revolted tapsters and ostlers
-trade-fallen, the cankers of a calm world and a
-long peace, ten times more dishonourable ragged than
-an old faced ancient: and such have I, to fill up
-the rooms of them that have bought out their
-services, that you would think that I had a hundred
-and fifty tattered prodigals lately come from
-swine-keeping, from eating draff and husks. A mad
-fellow met me on the way and told me I had unloaded
-all the gibbets and pressed the dead bodies. No eye
-hath seen such scarecrows. I'll not march through
-Coventry with them, that's flat: nay, and the
-villains march wide betwixt the legs, as if they had
-gyves on; for indeed I had the most of them out of
-prison. There's but a shirt and a half in all my
-company; and the half shirt is two napkins tacked
-together and thrown over the shoulders like an
-herald's coat without sleeves; and the shirt, to say
-the truth, stolen from my host at Saint Alban's, or
-the red-nose innkeeper of Daventry. But that's all
-one; they'll find linen enough on every hedge.
-

Enter the PRINCE and WESTMORELAND

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-How now, blown Jack! how now, quilt!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-What, Hal! how now, mad wag! what a devil dost thou
-in Warwickshire? My good Lord of Westmoreland, I
-cry you mercy: I thought your honour had already been
-at Shrewsbury.
-
- -WESTMORELAND -
-Faith, Sir John,'tis more than time that I were
-there, and you too; but my powers are there already.
-The king, I can tell you, looks for us all: we must
-away all night.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Tut, never fear me: I am as vigilant as a cat to
-steal cream.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I think, to steal cream indeed, for thy theft hath
-already made thee butter. But tell me, Jack, whose
-fellows are these that come after?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Mine, Hal, mine.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I did never see such pitiful rascals.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Tut, tut; good enough to toss; food for powder, food
-for powder; they'll fill a pit as well as better:
-tush, man, mortal men, mortal men.
-
- -WESTMORELAND -
-Ay, but, Sir John, methinks they are exceeding poor
-and bare, too beggarly.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-'Faith, for their poverty, I know not where they had
-that; and for their bareness, I am sure they never
-learned that of me.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-No I'll be sworn; unless you call three fingers on
-the ribs bare. But, sirrah, make haste: Percy is
-already in the field.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-What, is the king encamped?
-
- -WESTMORELAND -
-He is, Sir John: I fear we shall stay too long.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Well,
-To the latter end of a fray and the beginning of a feast
-Fits a dull fighter and a keen guest.

- You do not counsel well:
-You speak it out of fear and cold heart.
-
- -VERNON -
-Do me no slander, Douglas: by my life,
-And I dare well maintain it with my life,
-If well-respected honour bid me on,
-I hold as little counsel with weak fear
-As you, my lord, or any Scot that this day lives:
-Let it be seen to-morrow in the battle
-Which of us fears.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
- Yea, or to-night.
-
- -VERNON -
-Content.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-To-night, say I.
-
- -VERNON -
-Come, come it nay not be. I wonder much,
-Being men of such great leading as you are,
-That you foresee not what impediments
-Drag back our expedition: certain horse
-Of my cousin Vernon's are not yet come up:
-Your uncle Worcester's horse came but today;
-And now their pride and mettle is asleep,
-Their courage with hard labour tame and dull,
-That not a horse is half the half of himself.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-So are the horses of the enemy
-In general, journey-bated and brought low:
-The better part of ours are full of rest.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-The number of the king exceedeth ours:
-For God's sake. cousin, stay till all come in.
-

The trumpet sounds a parley

-

Enter SIR WALTER BLUNT

-
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-I come with gracious offers from the king,
-if you vouchsafe me hearing and respect.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Welcome, Sir Walter Blunt; and would to God
-You were of our determination!
-Some of us love you well; and even those some
-Envy your great deservings and good name,
-Because you are not of our quality,
-But stand against us like an enemy.
-
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-And God defend but still I should stand so,
-So long as out of limit and true rule
-You stand against anointed majesty.
-But to my charge. The king hath sent to know
-The nature of your griefs, and whereupon
-You conjure from the breast of civil peace
-Such bold hostility, teaching his duteous land
-Audacious cruelty. If that the king
-Have any way your good deserts forgot,
-Which he confesseth to be manifold,
-He bids you name your griefs; and with all speed
-You shall have your desires with interest
-And pardon absolute for yourself and these
-Herein misled by your suggestion.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-The king is kind; and well we know the king
-Knows at what time to promise, when to pay.
-My father and my uncle and myself
-Did give him that same royalty he wears;
-And when he was not six and twenty strong,
-Sick in the world's regard, wretched and low,
-A poor unminded outlaw sneaking home,
-My father gave him welcome to the shore;
-And when he heard him swear and vow to God
-He came but to be Duke of Lancaster,
-To sue his livery and beg his peace,
-With tears of innocency and terms of zeal,
-My father, in kind heart and pity moved,
-Swore him assistance and perform'd it too.
-Now when the lords and barons of the realm
-Perceived Northumberland did lean to him,
-The more and less came in with cap and knee;
-Met him in boroughs, cities, villages,
-Attended him on bridges, stood in lanes,
-Laid gifts before him, proffer'd him their oaths,
-Gave him their heirs, as pages follow'd him
-Even at the heels in golden multitudes.
-He presently, as greatness knows itself,
-Steps me a little higher than his vow
-Made to my father, while his blood was poor,
-Upon the naked shore at Ravenspurgh;
-And now, forsooth, takes on him to reform
-Some certain edicts and some strait decrees
-That lie too heavy on the commonwealth,
-Cries out upon abuses, seems to weep
-Over his country's wrongs; and by this face,
-This seeming brow of justice, did he win
-The hearts of all that he did angle for;
-Proceeded further; cut me off the heads
-Of all the favourites that the absent king
-In deputation left behind him here,
-When he was personal in the Irish war.
-
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-Tut, I came not to hear this.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Then to the point.
-In short time after, he deposed the king;
-Soon after that, deprived him of his life;
-And in the neck of that, task'd the whole state:
-To make that worse, suffer'd his kinsman March,
-Who is, if every owner were well placed,
-Indeed his king, to be engaged in Wales,
-There without ransom to lie forfeited;
-Disgraced me in my happy victories,
-Sought to entrap me by intelligence;
-Rated mine uncle from the council-board;
-In rage dismiss'd my father from the court;
-Broke oath on oath, committed wrong on wrong,
-And in conclusion drove us to seek out
-This head of safety; and withal to pry
-Into his title, the which we find
-Too indirect for long continuance.
-
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-Shall I return this answer to the king?
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Not so, Sir Walter: we'll withdraw awhile.
-Go to the king; and let there be impawn'd
-Some surety for a safe return again,
-And in the morning early shall my uncle
-Bring him our purposes: and so farewell.
-
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-I would you would accept of grace and love.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-And may be so we shall.
-
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-Pray God you do.

SCENE IV. York. The ARCHBISHOP'S palace.

-Enter the ARCHBISHOP OF YORK and SIR MICHAEL -
- -ARCHBISHOP OF YORK -
-Hie, good Sir Michael; bear this sealed brief
-With winged haste to the lord marshal;
-This to my cousin Scroop, and all the rest
-To whom they are directed. If you knew
-How much they do to import, you would make haste.
-
- -SIR MICHAEL -
-My good lord,
-I guess their tenor.
-
- -ARCHBISHOP OF YORK -
-Like enough you do.
-To-morrow, good Sir Michael, is a day
-Wherein the fortune of ten thousand men
-Must bide the touch; for, sir, at Shrewsbury,
-As I am truly given to understand,
-The king with mighty and quick-raised power
-Meets with Lord Harry: and, I fear, Sir Michael,
-What with the sickness of Northumberland,
-Whose power was in the first proportion,
-And what with Owen Glendower's absence thence,
-Who with them was a rated sinew too
-And comes not in, o'er-ruled by prophecies,
-I fear the power of Percy is too weak
-To wage an instant trial with the king.
-
- -SIR MICHAEL -
-Why, my good lord, you need not fear;
-There is Douglas and Lord Mortimer.
-
- -ARCHBISHOP OF YORK -
-No, Mortimer is not there.
-
- -SIR MICHAEL -
-But there is Mordake, Vernon, Lord Harry Percy,
-And there is my Lord of Worcester and a head
-Of gallant warriors, noble gentlemen.
-
- -ARCHBISHOP OF YORK -
-And so there is: but yet the king hath drawn
-The special head of all the land together:
-The Prince of Wales, Lord John of Lancaster,
-The noble Westmoreland and warlike Blunt;
-And moe corrivals and dear men
-Of estimation and command in arms.
-
- -SIR MICHAEL -
-Doubt not, my lord, they shall be well opposed.
-
- -ARCHBISHOP OF YORK -
-I hope no less, yet needful 'tis to fear;
-And, to prevent the worst, Sir Michael, speed:
-For if Lord Percy thrive not, ere the king
-Dismiss his power, he means to visit us,
-For he hath heard of our confederacy,
-And 'tis but wisdom to make strong against him:
-Therefore make haste. I must go write again
-To other friends; and so farewell, Sir Michael.

-Enter KING HENRY, PRINCE HENRY, Lord John of LANCASTER, EARL OF WESTMORELAND, SIR WALTER BLUNT, and FALSTAFF -
- -KING HENRY IV -
-How bloodily the sun begins to peer
-Above yon busky hill! the day looks pale

-Doth play the trumpet to his purposes,

-

The trumpet sounds

-

Enter WORCESTER and VERNON

-How now, my Lord of Worcester! 'tis not well
-That you and I should meet upon such terms
-As now we meet. You have deceived our trust,
-And made us doff our easy robes of peace,
-To crush our old limbs in ungentle steel:
-This is not well, my lord, this is not well.
-What say you to it? will you again unknit
-This curlish knot of all-abhorred war?
-And move in that obedient orb again
-Where you did give a fair and natural light,
-And be no more an exhaled meteor,
-A prodigy of fear and a portent
-Of broached mischief to the unborn times?
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Hear me, my liege:
-For mine own part, I could be well content
-To entertain the lag-end of my life
-With quiet hours; for I do protest,
-I have not sought the day of this dislike.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-You have not sought it! how comes it, then?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Rebellion lay in his way, and he found it.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Peace, chewet, peace!
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-It pleased your majesty to turn your looks
-Of favour from myself and all our house;
-And yet I must remember you, my lord,
-We were the first and dearest of your friends.
-For you my staff of office did I break
-In Richard's time; and posted day and night
-to meet you on the way, and kiss your hand,
-When yet you were in place and in account
-Nothing so strong and fortunate as I.
-It was myself, my brother and his son,
-That brought you home and boldly did outdare
-The dangers of the time. You swore to us,
-And you did swear that oath at Doncaster,
-That you did nothing purpose 'gainst the state;
-Nor claim no further than your new-fall'n right,
-The seat of Gaunt, dukedom of Lancaster:
-To this we swore our aid. But in short space
-It rain'd down fortune showering on your head;
-And such a flood of greatness fell on you,
-What with our help, what with the absent king,
-What with the injuries of a wanton time,
-The seeming sufferances that you had borne,
-And the contrarious winds that held the king
-So long in his unlucky Irish wars
-That all in England did repute him dead:
-And from this swarm of fair advantages
-You took occasion to be quickly woo'd
-To gripe the general sway into your hand;
-Forget your oath to us at Doncaster;
-And being fed by us you used us so
-As that ungentle hull, the cuckoo's bird,
-Useth the sparrow; did oppress our nest;
-Grew by our feeding to so great a bulk
-That even our love durst not come near your sight
-For fear of swallowing; but with nimble wing
-We were enforced, for safety sake, to fly
-Out of sight and raise this present head;
-Whereby we stand opposed by such means
-As you yourself have forged against yourself
-By unkind usage, dangerous countenance,
-And violation of all faith and troth
-Sworn to us in your younger enterprise.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-These things indeed you have articulate,
-Proclaim'd at market-crosses, read in churches,
-To face the garment of rebellion
-With some fine colour that may please the eye
-Of fickle changelings and poor discontents,
-Which gape and rub the elbow at the news
-Of hurlyburly innovation:
-And never yet did insurrection want
-Such water-colours to impaint his cause;
-Nor moody beggars, starving for a time
-Of pellmell havoc and confusion.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-In both your armies there is many a soul
-Shall pay full dearly for this encounter,
-If once they join in trial. Tell your nephew,
-The Prince of Wales doth join with all the world
-In praise of Henry Percy: by my hopes,
-This present enterprise set off his head,
-I do not think a braver gentleman,
-More active-valiant or more valiant-young,
-More daring or more bold, is now alive
-To grace this latter age with noble deeds.
-For my part, I may speak it to my shame,
-I have a truant been to chivalry;
-And so I hear he doth account me too;
-Yet this before my father's majesty--
-I am content that he shall take the odds
-Of his great name and estimation,
-And will, to save the blood on either side,
-Try fortune with him in a single fight.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-And, Prince of Wales, so dare we venture thee,
-Albeit considerations infinite
-Do make against it. No, good Worcester, no,
-We love our people well; even those we love
-That are misled upon your cousin's part;
-And, will they take the offer of our grace,
-Both he and they and you, every man
-Shall be my friend again and I'll be his:
-So tell your cousin, and bring me word
-What he will do: but if he will not yield,
-Rebuke and dread correction wait on us
-And they shall do their office. So, be gone;
-We will not now be troubled with reply:
-We offer fair; take it advisedly.
-

Exeunt WORCESTER and VERNON

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-It will not be accepted, on my life:
-The Douglas and the Hotspur both together
-Are confident against the world in arms.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Hence, therefore, every leader to his charge;
-For, on their answer, will we set on them:
-And God befriend us, as our cause is just!
-

Exeunt all but PRINCE HENRY and FALSTAFF

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Hal, if thou see me down in the battle and bestride
-me, so; 'tis a point of friendship.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Nothing but a colossus can do thee that friendship.
-Say thy prayers, and farewell.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-I would 'twere bed-time, Hal, and all well.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Why, thou owest God a death.
-

Exit PRINCE HENRY

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-'Tis not due yet; I would be loath to pay him before
-his day. What need I be so forward with him that
-calls not on me? Well, 'tis no matter; honour pricks
-me on. Yea, but how if honour prick me off when I
-come on? how then? Can honour set to a leg? no: or
-an arm? no: or take away the grief of a wound? no.
-Honour hath no skill in surgery, then? no. What is
-honour? a word. What is in that word honour? what
-is that honour? air. A trim reckoning! Who hath it?
-he that died o' Wednesday. Doth he feel it? no.
-Doth he hear it? no. 'Tis insensible, then. Yea,
-to the dead. But will it not live with the living?
-no. Why? detraction will not suffer it. Therefore
-I'll none of it. Honour is a mere scutcheon: and so
-ends my catechism.

SCENE II. The rebel camp.

- -

-Enter WORCESTER and VERNON -
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-O, no, my nephew must not know, Sir Richard,
-The liberal and kind offer of the king.
-
- -VERNON -
-'Twere best he did.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Then are we all undone.
-It is not possible, it cannot be,
-The king should keep his word in loving us;
-He will suspect us still and find a time
-To punish this offence in other faults:
-Suspicion all our lives shall be stuck full of eyes;
-For treason is but trusted like the fox,
-Who, ne'er so tame, so cherish'd and lock'd up,
-Will have a wild trick of his ancestors.
-Look how we can, or sad or merrily,
-Interpretation will misquote our looks,
-And we shall feed like oxen at a stall,
-The better cherish'd, still the nearer death.
-My nephew's trespass may be well forgot;
-it hath the excuse of youth and heat of blood,
-And an adopted name of privilege,
-A hair-brain'd Hotspur, govern'd by a spleen:
-All his offences live upon my head
-And on his father's; we did train him on,
-And, his corruption being ta'en from us,
-We, as the spring of all, shall pay for all.
-Therefore, good cousin, let not Harry know,
-In any case, the offer of the king.
-
- -VERNON -
-Deliver what you will; I'll say 'tis so.
-Here comes your cousin.
-

Enter HOTSPUR and DOUGLAS

-
- -HOTSPUR -
-My uncle is return'd:
-Deliver up my Lord of Westmoreland.
-Uncle, what news?
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-The king will bid you battle presently.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-Defy him by the Lord of Westmoreland.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Lord Douglas, go you and tell him so.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-Marry, and shall, and very willingly.
-

Exit

-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-There is no seeming mercy in the king.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Did you beg any? God forbid!
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-I told him gently of our grievances,
-Of his oath-breaking; which he mended thus,
-By now forswearing that he is forsworn:
-He calls us rebels, traitors; and will scourge
-With haughty arms this hateful name in us.
-

Re-enter the EARL OF DOUGLAS

-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-Arm, gentlemen; to arms! for I have thrown
-A brave defiance in King Henry's teeth,
-And Westmoreland, that was engaged, did bear it;
-Which cannot choose but bring him quickly on.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-The Prince of Wales stepp'd forth before the king,
-And, nephew, challenged you to single fight.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-O, would the quarrel lay upon our heads,
-And that no man might draw short breath today
-But I and Harry Monmouth! Tell me, tell me,
-How show'd his tasking? seem'd it in contempt?
-
- -VERNON -
-No, by my soul; I never in my life
-Did hear a challenge urged more modestly,
-Unless a brother should a brother dare
-To gentle exercise and proof of arms.
-He gave you all the duties of a man;
-Trimm'd up your praises with a princely tongue,
-Spoke to your deservings like a chronicle,
-Making you ever better than his praise
-By still dispraising praise valued in you;
-And, which became him like a prince indeed,
-He made a blushing cital of himself;
-And chid his truant youth with such a grace
-As if he master'd there a double spirit.
-Of teaching and of learning instantly.
-There did he pause: but let me tell the world,
-If he outlive the envy of this day,
-England did never owe so sweet a hope,
-So much misconstrued in his wantonness.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Cousin, I think thou art enamoured
-On his follies: never did I hear
-Of any prince so wild a libertine.
-But be he as he will, yet once ere night
-I will embrace him with a soldier's arm,
-That he shall shrink under my courtesy.
-Arm, arm with speed: and, fellows, soldiers, friends,
-Better consider what you have to do
-Than I, that have not well the gift of tongue,
-Can lift your blood up with persuasion.
-

Enter a Messenger

-
- -Messenger -
-My lord, here are letters for you.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I cannot read them now.
-O gentlemen, the time of life is short!
-To spend that shortness basely were too long,
-If life did ride upon a dial's point,
-Still ending at the arrival of an hour.
-An if we live, we live to tread on kings;
-If die, brave death, when princes die with us!
-Now, for our consciences, the arms are fair,
-When the intent of bearing them is just.
-

Enter another Messenger

-
- -Messenger -
-My lord, prepare; the king comes on apace.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I thank him, that he cuts me from my tale,
-For I profess not talking; only this--
-Let each man do his best: and here draw I
-A sword, whose temper I intend to stain
-With the best blood that I can meet withal
-In the adventure of this perilous day.
-Now, Esperance! Percy! and set on.
-Sound all the lofty instruments of war,
-And by that music let us all embrace;
-For, heaven to earth, some of us never shall
-A second time do such a courtesy.
-

The trumpets sound. They embrace, and exeunt

SCENE III. Plain between the camps.

- -

-KING HENRY enters with his power. Alarum to the battle. Then enter DOUGLAS and SIR WALTER BLUNT -
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-What is thy name, that in the battle thus
-Thou crossest me? what honour dost thou seek
-Upon my head?
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
- Know then, my name is Douglas;
-And I do haunt thee in the battle thus
-Because some tell me that thou art a king.
-
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-They tell thee true.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-The Lord of Stafford dear to-day hath bought
-Thy likeness, for instead of thee, King Harry,
-This sword hath ended him: so shall it thee,
-Unless thou yield thee as my prisoner.
-
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-I was not born a yielder, thou proud Scot;
-And thou shalt find a king that will revenge
-Lord Stafford's death.
-

They fight. DOUGLAS kills SIR WALTER BLUNT. Enter HOTSPUR

-
- -HOTSPUR -
-O Douglas, hadst thou fought at Holmedon thus,
-never had triumph'd upon a Scot.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-All's done, all's won; here breathless lies the king.
-

-Where?
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-Here.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-This, Douglas? no: I know this face full well:
-A gallant knight he was, his name was Blunt;
-Semblably furnish'd like the king himself.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-A fool go with thy soul, whither it goes!
-A borrow'd title hast thou bought too dear:
-Why didst thou tell me that thou wert a king?
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-The king hath many marching in his coats.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-Now, by my sword, I will kill all his coats;
-I'll murder all his wardrobe, piece by piece,
-Until I meet the king.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Up, and away!
-Our soldiers stand full fairly for the day.
-

Exeunt

-

Alarum. Enter FALSTAFF, solus

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Though I could 'scape shot-free at London, I fear
-the shot here; here's no scoring but upon the pate.
-Soft! who are you? Sir Walter Blunt: there's honour
-for you! here's no vanity! I am as hot as moulten
-lead, and as heavy too: God keep lead out of me! I
-need no more weight than mine own bowels. I have
-led my ragamuffins where they are peppered: there's
-not three of my hundred and fifty left alive; and
-they are for the town's end, to beg during life.
-But who comes here?
-

Enter PRINCE HENRY

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What, stand'st thou idle here? lend me thy sword:
-Many a nobleman lies stark and stiff
-Under the hoofs of vaunting enemies,
-Whose deaths are yet unrevenged: I prithee,
-lend me thy sword.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-O Hal, I prithee, give me leave to breathe awhile.
-Turk Gregory never did such deeds in arms as I have
-done this day. I have paid Percy, I have made him sure.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-He is, indeed; and living to kill thee. I prithee,
-lend me thy sword.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Nay, before God, Hal, if Percy be alive, thou get'st
-not my sword; but take my pistol, if thou wilt.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Give it to me: what, is it in the case?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Ay, Hal; 'tis hot, 'tis hot; there's that will sack a city.
-

PRINCE HENRY draws it out, and finds it to be a bottle of sack

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What, is it a time to jest and dally now?
-

He throws the bottle at him. Exit

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Well, if Percy be alive, I'll pierce him. If he do
-come in my way, so: if he do not, if I come in his
-willingly, let him make a carbonado of me. I like
-not such grinning honour as Sir Walter hath: give me
-life: which if I can save, so; if not, honour comes
-unlooked for, and there's an end.

Exit FALSTAFF

SCENE IV. Another part of the field.

- -

-Alarum. Excursions. Enter PRINCE HENRY, LORD JOHN OF LANCASTER, and EARL OF WESTMORELAND -
- -KING HENRY IV -
-I prithee,
-Harry, withdraw thyself; thou bleed'st too much.
-Lord John of Lancaster, go you with him.
-
- -LANCASTER -
-Not I, my lord, unless I did bleed too.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I beseech your majesty, make up,
-Lest your retirement do amaze your friends.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-I will do so.
-My Lord of Westmoreland, lead him to his tent.
-
- -WESTMORELAND -
-Come, my lord, I'll lead you to your tent.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Lead me, my lord? I do not need your help:
-And God forbid a shallow scratch should drive
-The Prince of Wales from such a field as this,
-Where stain'd nobility lies trodden on,
-and rebels' arms triumph in massacres!
-
- -LANCASTER -
-We breathe too long: come, cousin Westmoreland,
-Our duty this way lies; for God's sake come.
-

Exeunt LANCASTER and WESTMORELAND

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-By God, thou hast deceived me, Lancaster;
-I did not think thee lord of such a spirit:
-Before, I loved thee as a brother, John;
-But now, I do respect thee as my soul.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-I saw him hold Lord Percy at the point
-With lustier maintenance than I did look for
-Of such an ungrown warrior.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-O, this boy
-Lends mettle to us all!
-

Exit

-

Enter DOUGLAS

-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-Another king! they grow like Hydra's heads:
-I am the Douglas, fatal to all those
-That wear those colours on them: what art thou,
-That counterfeit'st the person of a king?
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-The king himself; who, Douglas, grieves at heart
-So many of his shadows thou hast met
-And not the very king. I have two boys
-Seek Percy and thyself about the field:
-But, seeing thou fall'st on me so luckily,
-I will assay thee: so, defend thyself.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-I fear thou art another counterfeit;
-And yet, in faith, thou bear'st thee like a king:
-But mine I am sure thou art, whoe'er thou be,
-And thus I win thee.
-

They fight. KING HENRY being in danger, PRINCE HENRY enters

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Hold up thy head, vile Scot, or thou art like
-Never to hold it up again! the spirits
-Of valiant Shirley, Stafford, Blunt, are in my arms:
-It is the Prince of Wales that threatens thee;
-Who never promiseth but he means to pay.
-

They fight: DOUGLAS flies

-Cheerly, my lord how fares your grace?
-Sir Nicholas Gawsey hath for succor sent,
-And so hath Clifton: I'll to Clifton straight.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Stay, and breathe awhile:
-Thou hast redeem'd thy lost opinion,
-And show'd thou makest some tender of my life,
-In this fair rescue thou hast brought to me.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-O God! they did me too much injury
-That ever said I hearken'd for your death.
-If it were so, I might have let alone
-The insulting hand of Douglas over you,
-Which would have been as speedy in your end
-As all the poisonous potions in the world
-And saved the treacherous labour of your son.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Make up to Clifton: I'll to Sir Nicholas Gawsey.
-

Exit

-

Enter HOTSPUR

-
- -HOTSPUR -
-If I mistake not, thou art Harry Monmouth.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Thou speak'st as if I would deny my name.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-My name is Harry Percy.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Why, then I see
-A very valiant rebel of the name.
-I am the Prince of Wales; and think not, Percy,
-To share with me in glory any more:
-Two stars keep not their motion in one sphere;
-Nor can one England brook a double reign,
-Of Harry Percy and the Prince of Wales.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Nor shall it, Harry; for the hour is come
-To end the one of us; and would to God
-Thy name in arms were now as great as mine!
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I'll make it greater ere I part from thee;
-And all the budding honours on thy crest
-I'll crop, to make a garland for my head.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I can no longer brook thy vanities.
-

They fight

-

Enter FALSTAFF

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Well said, Hal! to it Hal! Nay, you shall find no
-boy's play here, I can tell you.
-

Re-enter DOUGLAS; he fights with FALSTAFF, who falls down as if he were dead, and exit DOUGLAS. HOTSPUR is wounded, and falls

-
- -HOTSPUR -
-O, Harry, thou hast robb'd me of my youth!
-I better brook the loss of brittle life
-Than those proud titles thou hast won of me;
-They wound my thoughts worse than sword my flesh:
-But thought's the slave of life, and life time's fool;
-And time, that takes survey of all the world,
-Must have a stop. O, I could prophesy,
-But that the earthy and cold hand of death
-Lies on my tongue: no, Percy, thou art dust
-And food for--
-

Dies

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-For worms, brave Percy: fare thee well, great heart!
-Ill-weaved ambition, how much art thou shrunk!
-When that this body did contain a spirit,
-A kingdom for it was too small a bound;
-But now two paces of the vilest earth
-Is room enough: this earth that bears thee dead
-Bears not alive so stout a gentleman.
-If thou wert sensible of courtesy,
-I should not make so dear a show of zeal:
-But let my favours hide thy mangled face;
-And, even in thy behalf, I'll thank myself
-For doing these fair rites of tenderness.
-Adieu, and take thy praise with thee to heaven!
-Thy ignominy sleep with thee in the grave,
-But not remember'd in thy epitaph!
-

He spieth FALSTAFF on the ground

-What, old acquaintance! could not all this flesh
-Keep in a little life? Poor Jack, farewell!
-I could have better spared a better man:
-O, I should have a heavy miss of thee,
-If I were much in love with vanity!
-Death hath not struck so fat a deer to-day,
-Though many dearer, in this bloody fray.
-Embowell'd will I see thee by and by:
-Till then in blood by noble Percy lie.
-

Exit PRINCE HENRY

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-[Rising up] Embowelled! if thou embowel me to-day,
-I'll give you leave to powder me and eat me too
-to-morrow. 'Sblood,'twas time to counterfeit, or
-that hot termagant Scot had paid me scot and lot too.
-Counterfeit? I lie, I am no counterfeit: to die,
-is to be a counterfeit; for he is but the
-counterfeit of a man who hath not the life of a man:
-but to counterfeit dying, when a man thereby
-liveth, is to be no counterfeit, but the true and
-perfect image of life indeed. The better part of
-valour is discretion; in the which better part I
-have saved my life.'Zounds, I am afraid of this
-gunpowder Percy, though he be dead: how, if he
-should counterfeit too and rise? by my faith, I am
-afraid he would prove the better counterfeit.
-Therefore I'll make him sure; yea, and I'll swear I
-killed him. Why may not he rise as well as I?
-Nothing confutes me but eyes, and nobody sees me.
-Therefore, sirrah,
-

Stabbing him

-with a new wound in your thigh, come you along with me.
-

Takes up HOTSPUR on his back

-

Re-enter PRINCE HENRY and LORD JOHN OF LANCASTER

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Come, brother John; full bravely hast thou flesh'd
-Thy maiden sword.
-
- -LANCASTER -
- But, soft! whom have we here?
-Did you not tell me this fat man was dead?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I did; I saw him dead,
-Breathless and bleeding on the ground. Art
-thou alive?
-Or is it fantasy that plays upon our eyesight?
-I prithee, speak; we will not trust our eyes
-Without our ears: thou art not what thou seem'st.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-No, that's certain; I am not a double man: but if I
-be not Jack Falstaff, then am I a Jack. There is Percy:
-

Throwing the body down

-if your father will do me any honour, so; if not, let
-him kill the next Percy himself. I look to be either
-earl or duke, I can assure you.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Why, Percy I killed myself and saw thee dead.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Didst thou? Lord, Lord, how this world is given to
-lying! I grant you I was down and out of breath;
-and so was he: but we rose both at an instant and
-fought a long hour by Shrewsbury clock. If I may be
-believed, so; if not, let them that should reward
-valour bear the sin upon their own heads. I'll take
-it upon my death, I gave him this wound in the
-thigh: if the man were alive and would deny it,
-'zounds, I would make him eat a piece of my sword.
-
- -LANCASTER -
-This is the strangest tale that ever I heard.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-This is the strangest fellow, brother John.
-Come, bring your luggage nobly on your back:
-For my part, if a lie may do thee grace,
-I'll gild it with the happiest terms I have.
-

A retreat is sounded

-The trumpet sounds retreat; the day is ours.
-Come, brother, let us to the highest of the field,
-To see what friends are living, who are dead.
-

Exeunt PRINCE HENRY and LANCASTER

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-I'll follow, as they say, for reward. He that
-rewards me, God reward him! If I do grow great,
-I'll grow less; for I'll purge, and leave sack, and
-live cleanly as a nobleman should do.
-

- -KING HENRY IV -
-Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke.
-Ill-spirited Worcester! did not we send grace,
-Pardon and terms of love to all of you?

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-The noble Scot, Lord Douglas, when he saw
-The fortune of the day quite turn'd from him,
-The noble Percy slain, and all his men
-Upon the foot of fear, fled with the rest;
-And falling from a hill, he was so bruised

-I may dispose of him.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-With all my heart.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Then, brother John of Lancaster, to you
-This honourable bounty shall belong:
-Go to the Douglas, and deliver him
-Up to his pleasure, ransomless and free:
-His valour shown upon our crests to-day
-Hath taught us how to cherish such high deeds
-Even in the bosom of our adversaries.
-
- -LANCASTER -
-I thank your grace for this high courtesy,
-Which I shall give away immediately.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Then this remains, that we divide our power.
-You, son John, and my cousin Westmoreland
-Towards York shall bend you with your dearest speed,
-To meet Northumberland and the prelate Scroop,
-Who, as we hear, are busily in arms:
-Myself and you, son Harry, will towards Wales,
-To fight with Glendower and the Earl of March.
-Rebellion in this land shall lose his sway,
-Meeting the cheque of such another day:
-And since this business so fair is done,
-Let us not leave till all our own be won.

ACT I

-

SCENE I. London. The palace.

-

-Enter KING HENRY, LORD JOHN OF LANCASTER, the EARL of WESTMORELAND, SIR WALTER BLUNT, and others -
- -KING HENRY IV -
-So shaken as we are, so wan with care,
-Find we a time for frighted peace to pant,
-And breathe short-winded accents of new broils
-To be commenced in strands afar remote.
-No more the thirsty entrance of this soil
-Shall daub her lips with her own children's blood;
-Nor more shall trenching war channel her fields,
-Nor bruise her flowerets with the armed hoofs
-Of hostile paces: those opposed eyes,
-Which, like the meteors of a troubled heaven,
-All of one nature, of one substance bred,
-Did lately meet in the intestine shock
-And furious close of civil butchery
-Shall now, in mutual well-beseeming ranks,
-March all one way and be no more opposed
-Against acquaintance, kindred and allies:
-The edge of war, like an ill-sheathed knife,
-No more shall cut his master. Therefore, friends,
-As far as to the sepulchre of Christ,
-Whose soldier now, under whose blessed cross
-We are impressed and engaged to fight,
-Forthwith a power of English shall we levy;
-Whose arms were moulded in their mothers' womb
-To chase these pagans in those holy fields
-Over whose acres walk'd those blessed feet
-Which fourteen hundred years ago were nail'd
-For our advantage on the bitter cross.
-But this our purpose now is twelve month old,
-And bootless 'tis to tell you we will go:
-Therefore we meet not now. Then let me hear
-Of you, my gentle cousin Westmoreland,
-What yesternight our council did decree
-In forwarding this dear expedience.
-
- -WESTMORELAND -
-My liege, this haste was hot in question,
-And many limits of the charge set down
-But yesternight: when all athwart there came
-A post from Wales loaden with heavy news;
-Whose worst was, that the noble Mortimer,
-Leading the men of Herefordshire to fight
-Against the irregular and wild Glendower,
-Was by the rude hands of that Welshman taken,
-A thousand of his people butchered;
-Upon whose dead corpse there was such misuse,
-Such beastly shameless transformation,
-By those Welshwomen done as may not be
-Without much shame retold or spoken of.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-It seems then that the tidings of this broil
-Brake off our business for the Holy Land.
-
- -WESTMORELAND -
-This match'd with other did, my gracious lord;
-For more uneven and unwelcome news
-Came from the north and thus it did import:
-On Holy-rood day, the gallant Hotspur there,
-Young Harry Percy and brave Archibald,
-That ever-valiant and approved Scot,
-At Holmedon met,
-Where they did spend a sad and bloody hour,
-As by discharge of their artillery,
-And shape of likelihood, the news was told;
-For he that brought them, in the very heat
-And pride of their contention did take horse,
-Uncertain of the issue any way.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Here is a dear, a true industrious friend,
-Sir Walter Blunt, new lighted from his horse.
-Stain'd with the variation of each soil
-Betwixt that Holmedon and this seat of ours;
-And he hath brought us smooth and welcome news.
-The Earl of Douglas is discomfited:
-Ten thousand bold Scots, two and twenty knights,
-Balk'd in their own blood did Sir Walter see
-On Holmedon's plains. Of prisoners, Hotspur took
-Mordake the Earl of Fife, and eldest son
-To beaten Douglas; and the Earl of Athol,
-Of Murray, Angus, and Menteith:
-And is not this an honourable spoil?
-A gallant prize? ha, cousin, is it not?
-
- -WESTMORELAND -
-In faith,
-It is a conquest for a prince to boast of.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Yea, there thou makest me sad and makest me sin
-In envy that my Lord Northumberland
-Should be the father to so blest a son,
-A son who is the theme of honour's tongue;
-Amongst a grove, the very straightest plant;
-Who is sweet Fortune's minion and her pride:
-Whilst I, by looking on the praise of him,
-See riot and dishonour stain the brow
-Of my young Harry. O that it could be proved
-That some night-tripping fairy had exchanged
-In cradle-clothes our children where they lay,
-And call'd mine Percy, his Plantagenet!
-Then would I have his Harry, and he mine.
-But let him from my thoughts. What think you, coz,
-Of this young Percy's pride? the prisoners,
-Which he in this adventure hath surprised,
-To his own use he keeps; and sends me word,
-I shall have none but Mordake Earl of Fife.
-
- -WESTMORELAND -
-This is his uncle's teaching; this is Worcester,
-Malevolent to you in all aspects;
-Which makes him prune himself, and bristle up
-The crest of youth against your dignity.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-But I have sent for him to answer this;
-And for this cause awhile we must neglect
-Our holy purpose to Jerusalem.
-Cousin, on Wednesday next our council we
-Will hold at Windsor; so inform the lords:
-But come yourself with speed to us again;
-For more is to be said and to be done
-Than out of anger can be uttered.
-
- -WESTMORELAND -
-I will, my liege.
-

Exeunt

-
-

SCENE II. London. An apartment of the Prince's.

-

-Enter the PRINCE OF WALES and FALSTAFF -
- -FALSTAFF -
-Now, Hal, what time of day is it, lad?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Thou art so fat-witted, with drinking of old sack
-and unbuttoning thee after supper and sleeping upon
-benches after noon, that thou hast forgotten to
-demand that truly which thou wouldst truly know.
-What a devil hast thou to do with the time of the
-day? Unless hours were cups of sack and minutes
-capons and clocks the tongues of bawds and dials the
-signs of leaping-houses and the blessed sun himself
-a fair hot wench in flame-coloured taffeta, I see no
-reason why thou shouldst be so superfluous to demand
-the time of the day.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Indeed, you come near me now, Hal; for we that take
-purses go by the moon and the seven stars, and not
-by Phoebus, he,'that wandering knight so fair.' And,
-I prithee, sweet wag, when thou art king, as, God
-save thy grace,--majesty I should say, for grace
-thou wilt have none,--
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What, none?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-No, by my troth, not so much as will serve to
-prologue to an egg and butter.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Well, how then? come, roundly, roundly.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Marry, then, sweet wag, when thou art king, let not
-us that are squires of the night's body be called
-thieves of the day's beauty: let us be Diana's
-foresters, gentlemen of the shade, minions of the
-moon; and let men say we be men of good government,
-being governed, as the sea is, by our noble and
-chaste mistress the moon, under whose countenance we steal.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Thou sayest well, and it holds well too; for the
-fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and
-flow like the sea, being governed, as the sea is,
-by the moon. As, for proof, now: a purse of gold
-most resolutely snatched on Monday night and most
-dissolutely spent on Tuesday morning; got with
-swearing 'Lay by' and spent with crying 'Bring in;'
-now in as low an ebb as the foot of the ladder
-and by and by in as high a flow as the ridge of the gallows.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-By the Lord, thou sayest true, lad. And is not my
-hostess of the tavern a most sweet wench?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-As the honey of Hybla, my old lad of the castle. And
-is not a buff jerkin a most sweet robe of durance?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-How now, how now, mad wag! what, in thy quips and
-thy quiddities? what a plague have I to do with a
-buff jerkin?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Why, what a pox have I to do with my hostess of the tavern?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Well, thou hast called her to a reckoning many a
-time and oft.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Did I ever call for thee to pay thy part?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-No; I'll give thee thy due, thou hast paid all there.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Yea, and elsewhere, so far as my coin would stretch;
-and where it would not, I have used my credit.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Yea, and so used it that were it not here apparent
-that thou art heir apparent--But, I prithee, sweet
-wag, shall there be gallows standing in England when
-thou art king? and resolution thus fobbed as it is
-with the rusty curb of old father antic the law? Do
-not thou, when thou art king, hang a thief.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-No; thou shalt.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Shall I? O rare! By the Lord, I'll be a brave judge.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Thou judgest false already: I mean, thou shalt have
-the hanging of the thieves and so become a rare hangman.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Well, Hal, well; and in some sort it jumps with my
-humour as well as waiting in the court, I can tell
-you.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-For obtaining of suits?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Yea, for obtaining of suits, whereof the hangman
-hath no lean wardrobe. 'Sblood, I am as melancholy
-as a gib cat or a lugged bear.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Or an old lion, or a lover's lute.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Yea, or the drone of a Lincolnshire bagpipe.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What sayest thou to a hare, or the melancholy of
-Moor-ditch?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Thou hast the most unsavoury similes and art indeed
-the most comparative, rascalliest, sweet young
-prince. But, Hal, I prithee, trouble me no more
-with vanity. I would to God thou and I knew where a
-commodity of good names were to be bought. An old
-lord of the council rated me the other day in the
-street about you, sir, but I marked him not; and yet
-he talked very wisely, but I regarded him not; and
-yet he talked wisely, and in the street too.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Thou didst well; for wisdom cries out in the
-streets, and no man regards it.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-O, thou hast damnable iteration and art indeed able
-to corrupt a saint. Thou hast done much harm upon
-me, Hal; God forgive thee for it! Before I knew
-thee, Hal, I knew nothing; and now am I, if a man
-should speak truly, little better than one of the
-wicked. I must give over this life, and I will give
-it over: by the Lord, and I do not, I am a villain:
-I'll be damned for never a king's son in
-Christendom.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Where shall we take a purse tomorrow, Jack?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-'Zounds, where thou wilt, lad; I'll make one; an I
-do not, call me villain and baffle me.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I see a good amendment of life in thee; from praying
-to purse-taking.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Why, Hal, 'tis my vocation, Hal; 'tis no sin for a
-man to labour in his vocation.
-

Enter POINS

-Poins! Now shall we know if Gadshill have set a
-match. O, if men were to be saved by merit, what
-hole in hell were hot enough for him? This is the
-most omnipotent villain that ever cried 'Stand' to
-a true man.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Good morrow, Ned.
-
- -POINS -
-Good morrow, sweet Hal. What says Monsieur Remorse?
-what says Sir John Sack and Sugar? Jack! how
-agrees the devil and thee about thy soul, that thou
-soldest him on Good-Friday last for a cup of Madeira
-and a cold capon's leg?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Sir John stands to his word, the devil shall have
-his bargain; for he was never yet a breaker of
-proverbs: he will give the devil his due.
-
- -POINS -
-Then art thou damned for keeping thy word with the devil.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Else he had been damned for cozening the devil.
-
- -POINS -
-But, my lads, my lads, to-morrow morning, by four
-o'clock, early at Gadshill! there are pilgrims going
-to Canterbury with rich offerings, and traders
-riding to London with fat purses: I have vizards
-for you all; you have horses for yourselves:
-Gadshill lies to-night in Rochester: I have bespoke
-supper to-morrow night in Eastcheap: we may do it
-as secure as sleep. If you will go, I will stuff
-your purses full of crowns; if you will not, tarry
-at home and be hanged.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Hear ye, Yedward; if I tarry at home and go not,
-I'll hang you for going.
-
- -POINS -
-You will, chops?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Hal, wilt thou make one?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Who, I rob? I a thief? not I, by my faith.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-There's neither honesty, manhood, nor good
-fellowship in thee, nor thou camest not of the blood
-royal, if thou darest not stand for ten shillings.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Well then, once in my days I'll be a madcap.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Why, that's well said.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Well, come what will, I'll tarry at home.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-By the Lord, I'll be a traitor then, when thou art king.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I care not.
-
- -POINS -
-Sir John, I prithee, leave the prince and me alone:
-I will lay him down such reasons for this adventure
-that he shall go.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Well, God give thee the spirit of persuasion and him
-the ears of profiting, that what thou speakest may
-move and what he hears may be believed, that the
-true prince may, for recreation sake, prove a false
-thief; for the poor abuses of the time want
-countenance. Farewell: you shall find me in Eastcheap.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Farewell, thou latter spring! farewell, All-hallown summer!
-

Exit Falstaff

-
- -POINS -
-Now, my good sweet honey lord, ride with us
-to-morrow: I have a jest to execute that I cannot
-manage alone. Falstaff, Bardolph, Peto and Gadshill
-shall rob those men that we have already waylaid:
-yourself and I will not be there; and when they
-have the booty, if you and I do not rob them, cut
-this head off from my shoulders.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-How shall we part with them in setting forth?
-
- -POINS -
-Why, we will set forth before or after them, and
-appoint them a place of meeting, wherein it is at
-our pleasure to fail, and then will they adventure
-upon the exploit themselves; which they shall have
-no sooner achieved, but we'll set upon them.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Yea, but 'tis like that they will know us by our
-horses, by our habits and by every other
-appointment, to be ourselves.
-
- -POINS -
-Tut! our horses they shall not see: I'll tie them
-in the wood; our vizards we will change after we
-leave them: and, sirrah, I have cases of buckram
-for the nonce, to immask our noted outward garments.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Yea, but I doubt they will be too hard for us.
-
- -POINS -
-Well, for two of them, I know them to be as
-true-bred cowards as ever turned back; and for the
-third, if he fight longer than he sees reason, I'll
-forswear arms. The virtue of this jest will be, the
-incomprehensible lies that this same fat rogue will
-tell us when we meet at supper: how thirty, at
-least, he fought with; what wards, what blows, what
-extremities he endured; and in the reproof of this
-lies the jest.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Well, I'll go with thee: provide us all things
-necessary and meet me to-morrow night in Eastcheap;
-there I'll sup. Farewell.
-
- -POINS -
-Farewell, my lord.
-

Exit Poins

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I know you all, and will awhile uphold
-The unyoked humour of your idleness:
-Yet herein will I imitate the sun,
-Who doth permit the base contagious clouds
-To smother up his beauty from the world,
-That, when he please again to be himself,
-Being wanted, he may be more wonder'd at,
-By breaking through the foul and ugly mists
-Of vapours that did seem to strangle him.
-If all the year were playing holidays,
-To sport would be as tedious as to work;
-But when they seldom come, they wish'd for come,
-And nothing pleaseth but rare accidents.
-So, when this loose behavior I throw off
-And pay the debt I never promised,
-By how much better than my word I am,
-By so much shall I falsify men's hopes;
-And like bright metal on a sullen ground,
-My reformation, glittering o'er my fault,
-Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes
-Than that which hath no foil to set it off.
-I'll so offend, to make offence a skill;
-Redeeming time when men think least I will.

SCENE III. London. The palace.

-

-Enter the KING, NORTHUMBERLAND, WORCESTER, HOTSPUR, SIR WALTER BLUNT, with others -
- -KING HENRY IV -
-My blood hath been too cold and temperate,
-Unapt to stir at these indignities,
-And you have found me; for accordingly
-You tread upon my patience: but be sure
-I will from henceforth rather be myself,
-Mighty and to be fear'd, than my condition;
-Which hath been smooth as oil, soft as young down,
-And therefore lost that title of respect
-Which the proud soul ne'er pays but to the proud.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Our house, my sovereign liege, little deserves
-The scourge of greatness to be used on it;
-And that same greatness too which our own hands
-Have holp to make so portly.
-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-My lord.--
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Worcester, get thee gone; for I do see
-Danger and disobedience in thine eye:
-O, sir, your presence is too bold and peremptory,
-And majesty might never yet endure
-The moody frontier of a servant brow.
-You have good leave to leave us: when we need
-Your use and counsel, we shall send for you.
-

Exit Worcester

-You were about to speak.
-

To North

-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-Yea, my good lord.
-Those prisoners in your highness' name demanded,
-Which Harry Percy here at Holmedon took,
-Were, as he says, not with such strength denied
-As is deliver'd to your majesty:
-Either envy, therefore, or misprison
-Is guilty of this fault and not my son.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-My liege, I did deny no prisoners.
-But I remember, when the fight was done,
-When I was dry with rage and extreme toil,
-Breathless and faint, leaning upon my sword,
-Came there a certain lord, neat, and trimly dress'd,
-Fresh as a bridegroom; and his chin new reap'd
-Show'd like a stubble-land at harvest-home;
-He was perfumed like a milliner;
-And 'twixt his finger and his thumb he held
-A pouncet-box, which ever and anon
-He gave his nose and took't away again;
-Who therewith angry, when it next came there,
-Took it in snuff; and still he smiled and talk'd,
-And as the soldiers bore dead bodies by,
-He call'd them untaught knaves, unmannerly,
-To bring a slovenly unhandsome corse
-Betwixt the wind and his nobility.
-With many holiday and lady terms
-He question'd me; amongst the rest, demanded
-My prisoners in your majesty's behalf.
-I then, all smarting with my wounds being cold,
-To be so pester'd with a popinjay,
-Out of my grief and my impatience,
-Answer'd neglectingly I know not what,
-He should or he should not; for he made me mad
-To see him shine so brisk and smell so sweet
-And talk so like a waiting-gentlewoman
-Of guns and drums and wounds,--God save the mark!--
-And telling me the sovereign'st thing on earth
-Was parmaceti for an inward bruise;
-And that it was great pity, so it was,
-This villanous salt-petre should be digg'd
-Out of the bowels of the harmless earth,
-Which many a good tall fellow had destroy'd
-So cowardly; and but for these vile guns,
-He would himself have been a soldier.
-This bald unjointed chat of his, my lord,
-I answer'd indirectly, as I said;
-And I beseech you, let not his report
-Come current for an accusation
-Betwixt my love and your high majesty.
-
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-The circumstance consider'd, good my lord,
-Whate'er Lord Harry Percy then had said
-To such a person and in such a place,
-At such a time, with all the rest retold,
-May reasonably die and never rise
-To do him wrong or any way impeach
-What then he said, so he unsay it now.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Why, yet he doth deny his prisoners,
-But with proviso and exception,
-That we at our own charge shall ransom straight
-His brother-in-law, the foolish Mortimer;
-Who, on my soul, hath wilfully betray'd
-The lives of those that he did lead to fight
-Against that great magician, damn'd Glendower,
-Whose daughter, as we hear, the Earl of March
-Hath lately married. Shall our coffers, then,
-Be emptied to redeem a traitor home?
-Shall we but treason? and indent with fears,
-When they have lost and forfeited themselves?
-No, on the barren mountains let him starve;
-For I shall never hold that man my friend
-Whose tongue shall ask me for one penny cost
-To ransom home revolted Mortimer.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Revolted Mortimer!
-He never did fall off, my sovereign liege,
-But by the chance of war; to prove that true
-Needs no more but one tongue for all those wounds,
-Those mouthed wounds, which valiantly he took
-When on the gentle Severn's sedgy bank,
-In single opposition, hand to hand,
-He did confound the best part of an hour
-In changing hardiment with great Glendower:
-Three times they breathed and three times did
-they drink,
-Upon agreement, of swift Severn's flood;
-Who then, affrighted with their bloody looks,
-Ran fearfully among the trembling reeds,
-And hid his crisp head in the hollow bank,
-Bloodstained with these valiant combatants.
-Never did base and rotten policy
-Colour her working with such deadly wounds;
-Nor could the noble Mortimer
-Receive so many, and all willingly:
-Then let not him be slander'd with revolt.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Thou dost belie him, Percy, thou dost belie him;
-He never did encounter with Glendower:
-I tell thee,
-He durst as well have met the devil alone
-As Owen Glendower for an enemy.
-Art thou not ashamed? But, sirrah, henceforth
-Let me not hear you speak of Mortimer:
-Send me your prisoners with the speediest means,
-Or you shall hear in such a kind from me
-As will displease you. My Lord Northumberland,
-We licence your departure with your son.
-Send us your prisoners, or you will hear of it.
-

Exeunt King Henry, Blunt, and train

-
- -HOTSPUR -
-An if the devil come and roar for them,
-I will not send them: I will after straight
-And tell him so; for I will ease my heart,
-Albeit I make a hazard of my head.
-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-What, drunk with choler? stay and pause awhile:
-Here comes your uncle.
-

Re-enter WORCESTER

-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Speak of Mortimer!
-'Zounds, I will speak of him; and let my soul
-Want mercy, if I do not join with him:
-Yea, on his part I'll empty all these veins,
-And shed my dear blood drop by drop in the dust,
-But I will lift the down-trod Mortimer
-As high in the air as this unthankful king,
-As this ingrate and canker'd Bolingbroke.
-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-Brother, the king hath made your nephew mad.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Who struck this heat up after I was gone?
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-He will, forsooth, have all my prisoners;
-And when I urged the ransom once again
-Of my wife's brother, then his cheek look'd pale,
-And on my face he turn'd an eye of death,
-Trembling even at the name of Mortimer.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-I cannot blame him: was not he proclaim'd
-By Richard that dead is the next of blood?
-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-He was; I heard the proclamation:
-And then it was when the unhappy king,
---Whose wrongs in us God pardon!--did set forth
-Upon his Irish expedition;
-From whence he intercepted did return
-To be deposed and shortly murdered.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-And for whose death we in the world's wide mouth
-Live scandalized and foully spoken of.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-But soft, I pray you; did King Richard then
-Proclaim my brother Edmund Mortimer
-Heir to the crown?
-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-He did; myself did hear it.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Nay, then I cannot blame his cousin king,
-That wished him on the barren mountains starve.
-But shall it be that you, that set the crown
-Upon the head of this forgetful man
-And for his sake wear the detested blot
-Of murderous subornation, shall it be,
-That you a world of curses undergo,
-Being the agents, or base second means,
-The cords, the ladder, or the hangman rather?
-O, pardon me that I descend so low,
-To show the line and the predicament
-Wherein you range under this subtle king;
-Shall it for shame be spoken in these days,
-Or fill up chronicles in time to come,
-That men of your nobility and power
-Did gage them both in an unjust behalf,
-As both of you--God pardon it!--have done,
-To put down Richard, that sweet lovely rose,
-An plant this thorn, this canker, Bolingbroke?
-And shall it in more shame be further spoken,
-That you are fool'd, discarded and shook off
-By him for whom these shames ye underwent?
-No; yet time serves wherein you may redeem
-Your banish'd honours and restore yourselves
-Into the good thoughts of the world again,
-Revenge the jeering and disdain'd contempt
-Of this proud king, who studies day and night
-To answer all the debt he owes to you
-Even with the bloody payment of your deaths:
-Therefore, I say--
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
- Peace, cousin, say no more:
-And now I will unclasp a secret book,
-And to your quick-conceiving discontents
-I'll read you matter deep and dangerous,
-As full of peril and adventurous spirit
-As to o'er-walk a current roaring loud
-On the unsteadfast footing of a spear.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-If he fall in, good night! or sink or swim:
-Send danger from the east unto the west,
-So honour cross it from the north to south,
-And let them grapple: O, the blood more stirs
-To rouse a lion than to start a hare!
-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-Imagination of some great exploit
-Drives him beyond the bounds of patience.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-By heaven, methinks it were an easy leap,
-To pluck bright honour from the pale-faced moon,
-Or dive into the bottom of the deep,
-Where fathom-line could never touch the ground,
-And pluck up drowned honour by the locks;
-So he that doth redeem her thence might wear
-Without corrival, all her dignities:
-But out upon this half-faced fellowship!
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-He apprehends a world of figures here,
-But not the form of what he should attend.
-Good cousin, give me audience for a while.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I cry you mercy.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
- Those same noble Scots
-That are your prisoners,--
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I'll keep them all;
-By God, he shall not have a Scot of them;
-No, if a Scot would save his soul, he shall not:
-I'll keep them, by this hand.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-You start away
-And lend no ear unto my purposes.
-Those prisoners you shall keep.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Nay, I will; that's flat:
-He said he would not ransom Mortimer;
-Forbad my tongue to speak of Mortimer;
-But I will find him when he lies asleep,
-And in his ear I'll holla 'Mortimer!'
-Nay,
-I'll have a starling shall be taught to speak
-Nothing but 'Mortimer,' and give it him
-To keep his anger still in motion.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Hear you, cousin; a word.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-All studies here I solemnly defy,
-Save how to gall and pinch this Bolingbroke:
-And that same sword-and-buckler Prince of Wales,
-But that I think his father loves him not
-And would be glad he met with some mischance,
-I would have him poison'd with a pot of ale.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Farewell, kinsman: I'll talk to you
-When you are better temper'd to attend.
-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-Why, what a wasp-stung and impatient fool
-Art thou to break into this woman's mood,
-Tying thine ear to no tongue but thine own!
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Why, look you, I am whipp'd and scourged with rods,
-Nettled and stung with pismires, when I hear
-Of this vile politician, Bolingbroke.
-In Richard's time,--what do you call the place?--
-A plague upon it, it is in Gloucestershire;
-'Twas where the madcap duke his uncle kept,
-His uncle York; where I first bow'd my knee
-Unto this king of smiles, this Bolingbroke,--
-'Sblood!--
-When you and he came back from Ravenspurgh.
-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-At Berkley castle.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-You say true:
-Why, what a candy deal of courtesy
-This fawning greyhound then did proffer me!
-Look,'when his infant fortune came to age,'
-And 'gentle Harry Percy,' and 'kind cousin;'
-O, the devil take such cozeners! God forgive me!
-Good uncle, tell your tale; I have done.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Nay, if you have not, to it again;
-We will stay your leisure.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I have done, i' faith.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Then once more to your Scottish prisoners.
-Deliver them up without their ransom straight,
-And make the Douglas' son your only mean
-For powers in Scotland; which, for divers reasons
-Which I shall send you written, be assured,
-Will easily be granted. You, my lord,
-

To Northumberland

-Your son in Scotland being thus employ'd,
-Shall secretly into the bosom creep
-Of that same noble prelate, well beloved,
-The archbishop.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Of York, is it not?
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-True; who bears hard
-His brother's death at Bristol, the Lord Scroop.
-I speak not this in estimation,
-As what I think might be, but what I know
-Is ruminated, plotted and set down,
-And only stays but to behold the face
-Of that occasion that shall bring it on.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I smell it: upon my life, it will do well.
-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-Before the game is afoot, thou still let'st slip.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Why, it cannot choose but be a noble plot;
-And then the power of Scotland and of York,
-To join with Mortimer, ha?
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-And so they shall.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-In faith, it is exceedingly well aim'd.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-And 'tis no little reason bids us speed,
-To save our heads by raising of a head;
-For, bear ourselves as even as we can,
-The king will always think him in our debt,
-And think we think ourselves unsatisfied,
-Till he hath found a time to pay us home:
-And see already how he doth begin
-To make us strangers to his looks of love.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-He does, he does: we'll be revenged on him.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Cousin, farewell: no further go in this
-Than I by letters shall direct your course.
-When time is ripe, which will be suddenly,
-I'll steal to Glendower and Lord Mortimer;
-Where you and Douglas and our powers at once,
-As I will fashion it, shall happily meet,
-To bear our fortunes in our own strong arms,
-Which now we hold at much uncertainty.
-
- -NORTHUMBERLAND -
-Farewell, good brother: we shall thrive, I trust.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Uncle, Adieu: O, let the hours be short
-Till fields and blows and groans applaud our sport!

ACT II

-

SCENE I. Rochester. An inn yard.

-

-Enter a Carrier with a lantern in his hand -
- -First Carrier -
-Heigh-ho! an it be not four by the day, I'll be
-hanged: Charles' wain is over the new chimney, and
-yet our horse not packed. What, ostler!
-
- -Ostler -
-[Within] Anon, anon.
-
- -First Carrier -
-I prithee, Tom, beat Cut's saddle, put a few flocks
-in the point; poor jade, is wrung in the withers out
-of all cess.
-

Enter another Carrier

-
- -Second Carrier -
-Peas and beans are as dank here as a dog, and that
-is the next way to give poor jades the bots: this
-house is turned upside down since Robin Ostler died.
-
- -First Carrier -
-Poor fellow, never joyed since the price of oats
-rose; it was the death of him.
-
- -Second Carrier -
-I think this be the most villanous house in all
-London road for fleas: I am stung like a tench.
-
- -First Carrier -
-Like a tench! by the mass, there is ne'er a king
-christen could be better bit than I have been since
-the first cock.
-
- -Second Carrier -
-Why, they will allow us ne'er a jordan, and then we
-leak in your chimney; and your chamber-lie breeds
-fleas like a loach.
-
- -First Carrier -
-What, ostler! come away and be hanged!
-
- -Second Carrier -
-I have a gammon of bacon and two razors of ginger,
-to be delivered as far as Charing-cross.
-
- -First Carrier -
-God's body! the turkeys in my pannier are quite
-starved. What, ostler! A plague on thee! hast thou
-never an eye in thy head? canst not hear? An
-'twere not as good deed as drink, to break the pate
-on thee, I am a very villain. Come, and be hanged!
-hast thou no faith in thee?
-

Enter GADSHILL

-
- -GADSHILL -
-Good morrow, carriers. What's o'clock?
-
- -First Carrier -
-I think it be two o'clock.
-
- -GADSHILL -
-I pray thee lend me thy lantern, to see my gelding
-in the stable.
-
- -First Carrier -
-Nay, by God, soft; I know a trick worth two of that, i' faith.
-
- -GADSHILL -
-I pray thee, lend me thine.
-
- -Second Carrier -
-Ay, when? can'st tell? Lend me thy lantern, quoth
-he? marry, I'll see thee hanged first.
-
- -GADSHILL -
-Sirrah carrier, what time do you mean to come to London?
-
- -Second Carrier -
-Time enough to go to bed with a candle, I warrant
-thee. Come, neighbour Mugs, we'll call up the
-gentleman: they will along with company, for they
-have great charge.
-

Exeunt carriers

-
- -GADSHILL -
-What, ho! chamberlain!
-
- -Chamberlain -
-[Within] At hand, quoth pick-purse.
-
- -GADSHILL -
-That's even as fair as--at hand, quoth the
-chamberlain; for thou variest no more from picking
-of purses than giving direction doth from labouring;
-thou layest the plot how.
-

Enter Chamberlain

-
- -Chamberlain -
-Good morrow, Master Gadshill. It holds current that
-I told you yesternight: there's a franklin in the
-wild of Kent hath brought three hundred marks with
-him in gold: I heard him tell it to one of his
-company last night at supper; a kind of auditor; one
-that hath abundance of charge too, God knows what.
-They are up already, and call for eggs and butter;
-they will away presently.
-
- -GADSHILL -
-Sirrah, if they meet not with Saint Nicholas'
-clerks, I'll give thee this neck.
-
- -Chamberlain -
-No, I'll none of it: I pray thee keep that for the
-hangman; for I know thou worshippest St. Nicholas
-as truly as a man of falsehood may.
-
- -GADSHILL -
-What talkest thou to me of the hangman? if I hang,
-I'll make a fat pair of gallows; for if I hang, old
-Sir John hangs with me, and thou knowest he is no
-starveling. Tut! there are other Trojans that thou
-dreamest not of, the which for sport sake are
-content to do the profession some grace; that would,
-if matters should be looked into, for their own
-credit sake, make all whole. I am joined with no
-foot-land rakers, no long-staff sixpenny strikers,
-none of these mad mustachio purple-hued malt-worms;
-but with nobility and tranquillity, burgomasters and
-great oneyers, such as can hold in, such as will
-strike sooner than speak, and speak sooner than
-drink, and drink sooner than pray: and yet, zounds,
-I lie; for they pray continually to their saint, the
-commonwealth; or rather, not pray to her, but prey
-on her, for they ride up and down on her and make
-her their boots.
-
- -Chamberlain -
-What, the commonwealth their boots? will she hold
-out water in foul way?
-
- -GADSHILL -
-She will, she will; justice hath liquored her. We
-steal as in a castle, cocksure; we have the receipt
-of fern-seed, we walk invisible.
-
- -Chamberlain -
-Nay, by my faith, I think you are more beholding to
-the night than to fern-seed for your walking invisible.
-
- -GADSHILL -
-Give me thy hand: thou shalt have a share in our
-purchase, as I am a true man.
-
- -Chamberlain -
-Nay, rather let me have it, as you are a false thief.
-
- -GADSHILL -
-Go to; 'homo' is a common name to all men. Bid the
-ostler bring my gelding out of the stable. Farewell,
-you muddy knave.
-

Exeunt

-
-

SCENE II. The highway, near Gadshill.

-

-Enter PRINCE HENRY and POINS -
- -POINS -
-Come, shelter, shelter: I have removed Falstaff's
-horse, and he frets like a gummed velvet.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Stand close.
-

Enter FALSTAFF

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Poins! Poins, and be hanged! Poins!
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Peace, ye fat-kidneyed rascal! what a brawling dost
-thou keep!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Where's Poins, Hal?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-He is walked up to the top of the hill: I'll go seek him.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-I am accursed to rob in that thief's company: the
-rascal hath removed my horse, and tied him I know
-not where. If I travel but four foot by the squier
-further afoot, I shall break my wind. Well, I doubt
-not but to die a fair death for all this, if I
-'scape hanging for killing that rogue. I have
-forsworn his company hourly any time this two and
-twenty years, and yet I am bewitched with the
-rogue's company. If the rascal hath not given me
-medicines to make me love him, I'll be hanged; it
-could not be else: I have drunk medicines. Poins!
-Hal! a plague upon you both! Bardolph! Peto!
-I'll starve ere I'll rob a foot further. An 'twere
-not as good a deed as drink, to turn true man and to
-leave these rogues, I am the veriest varlet that
-ever chewed with a tooth. Eight yards of uneven
-ground is threescore and ten miles afoot with me;
-and the stony-hearted villains know it well enough:
-a plague upon it when thieves cannot be true one to another!
-

They whistle

-Whew! A plague upon you all! Give me my horse, you
-rogues; give me my horse, and be hanged!
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Peace, ye fat-guts! lie down; lay thine ear close
-to the ground and list if thou canst hear the tread
-of travellers.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Have you any levers to lift me up again, being down?
-'Sblood, I'll not bear mine own flesh so far afoot
-again for all the coin in thy father's exchequer.
-What a plague mean ye to colt me thus?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Thou liest; thou art not colted, thou art uncolted.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-I prithee, good Prince Hal, help me to my horse,
-good king's son.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Out, ye rogue! shall I be your ostler?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Go, hang thyself in thine own heir-apparent
-garters! If I be ta'en, I'll peach for this. An I
-have not ballads made on you all and sung to filthy
-tunes, let a cup of sack be my poison: when a jest
-is so forward, and afoot too! I hate it.
-

Enter GADSHILL, BARDOLPH and PETO

-
- -GADSHILL -
-Stand.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-So I do, against my will.
-
- -POINS -
-O, 'tis our setter: I know his voice. Bardolph,
-what news?
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-Case ye, case ye; on with your vizards: there 's
-money of the king's coming down the hill; 'tis going
-to the king's exchequer.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-You lie, ye rogue; 'tis going to the king's tavern.
-
- -GADSHILL -
-There's enough to make us all.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-To be hanged.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Sirs, you four shall front them in the narrow lane;
-Ned Poins and I will walk lower: if they 'scape
-from your encounter, then they light on us.
-
- -PETO -
-How many be there of them?
-
- -GADSHILL -
-Some eight or ten.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-'Zounds, will they not rob us?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What, a coward, Sir John Paunch?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Indeed, I am not John of Gaunt, your grandfather;
-but yet no coward, Hal.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Well, we leave that to the proof.
-
- -POINS -
-Sirrah Jack, thy horse stands behind the hedge:
-when thou needest him, there thou shalt find him.
-Farewell, and stand fast.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Now cannot I strike him, if I should be hanged.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Ned, where are our disguises?
-
- -POINS -
-Here, hard by: stand close.
-

Exeunt PRINCE HENRY and POINS

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Now, my masters, happy man be his dole, say I:
-every man to his business.
-

Enter the Travellers

-
- -First Traveller -
-Come, neighbour: the boy shall lead our horses down
-the hill; we'll walk afoot awhile, and ease our legs.
-
- -Thieves -
-Stand!
-
- -Travellers -
-Jesus bless us!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Strike; down with them; cut the villains' throats:
-ah! whoreson caterpillars! bacon-fed knaves! they
-hate us youth: down with them: fleece them.
-
- -Travellers -
-O, we are undone, both we and ours for ever!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Hang ye, gorbellied knaves, are ye undone? No, ye
-fat chuffs: I would your store were here! On,
-bacons, on! What, ye knaves! young men must live.
-You are Grand-jurors, are ye? we'll jure ye, 'faith.
-

Here they rob them and bind them. Exeunt

-

Re-enter PRINCE HENRY and POINS

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-The thieves have bound the true men. Now could thou
-and I rob the thieves and go merrily to London, it
-would be argument for a week, laughter for a month
-and a good jest for ever.
-
- -POINS -
-Stand close; I hear them coming.
-

Enter the Thieves again

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Come, my masters, let us share, and then to horse
-before day. An the Prince and Poins be not two
-arrant cowards, there's no equity stirring: there's
-no more valour in that Poins than in a wild-duck.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Your money!
-
- -POINS -
-Villains!
-

As they are sharing, the Prince and Poins set upon them; they all run away; and Falstaff, after a blow or two, runs away too, leaving the booty behind them

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Got with much ease. Now merrily to horse:
-The thieves are all scatter'd and possess'd with fear
-So strongly that they dare not meet each other;
-Each takes his fellow for an officer.
-Away, good Ned. Falstaff sweats to death,
-And lards the lean earth as he walks along:
-Were 't not for laughing, I should pity him.
-
- -POINS -
-How the rogue roar'd!
-

Exeunt

-
-

SCENE III. Warkworth castle

-

-Enter HOTSPUR, solus, reading a letter -
- -HOTSPUR -
-'But for mine own part, my lord, I could be well
-contented to be there, in respect of the love I bear
-your house.' He could be contented: why is he not,
-then? In respect of the love he bears our house:
-he shows in this, he loves his own barn better than
-he loves our house. Let me see some more. 'The
-purpose you undertake is dangerous;'--why, that's
-certain: 'tis dangerous to take a cold, to sleep, to
-drink; but I tell you, my lord fool, out of this
-nettle, danger, we pluck this flower, safety. 'The
-purpose you undertake is dangerous; the friends you
-have named uncertain; the time itself unsorted; and
-your whole plot too light for the counterpoise of so
-great an opposition.' Say you so, say you so? I say
-unto you again, you are a shallow cowardly hind, and
-you lie. What a lack-brain is this! By the Lord,
-our plot is a good plot as ever was laid; our
-friends true and constant: a good plot, good
-friends, and full of expectation; an excellent plot,
-very good friends. What a frosty-spirited rogue is
-this! Why, my lord of York commends the plot and the
-general course of action. 'Zounds, an I were now by
-this rascal, I could brain him with his lady's fan.
-Is there not my father, my uncle and myself? lord
-Edmund Mortimer, My lord of York and Owen Glendower?
-is there not besides the Douglas? have I not all
-their letters to meet me in arms by the ninth of the
-next month? and are they not some of them set
-forward already? What a pagan rascal is this! an
-infidel! Ha! you shall see now in very sincerity
-of fear and cold heart, will he to the king and lay
-open all our proceedings. O, I could divide myself
-and go to buffets, for moving such a dish of
-skim milk with so honourable an action! Hang him!
-let him tell the king: we are prepared. I will set
-forward to-night.
-

Enter LADY PERCY

-How now, Kate! I must leave you within these two hours.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-O, my good lord, why are you thus alone?
-For what offence have I this fortnight been
-A banish'd woman from my Harry's bed?
-Tell me, sweet lord, what is't that takes from thee
-Thy stomach, pleasure and thy golden sleep?
-Why dost thou bend thine eyes upon the earth,
-And start so often when thou sit'st alone?
-Why hast thou lost the fresh blood in thy cheeks;
-And given my treasures and my rights of thee
-To thick-eyed musing and cursed melancholy?
-In thy faint slumbers I by thee have watch'd,
-And heard thee murmur tales of iron wars;
-Speak terms of manage to thy bounding steed;
-Cry 'Courage! to the field!' And thou hast talk'd
-Of sallies and retires, of trenches, tents,
-Of palisadoes, frontiers, parapets,
-Of basilisks, of cannon, culverin,
-Of prisoners' ransom and of soldiers slain,
-And all the currents of a heady fight.
-Thy spirit within thee hath been so at war
-And thus hath so bestirr'd thee in thy sleep,
-That beads of sweat have stood upon thy brow
-Like bubbles in a late-disturbed stream;
-And in thy face strange motions have appear'd,
-Such as we see when men restrain their breath
-On some great sudden hest. O, what portents are these?
-Some heavy business hath my lord in hand,
-And I must know it, else he loves me not.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-What, ho!
-

Enter Servant

-Is Gilliams with the packet gone?
-
- -Servant -
-He is, my lord, an hour ago.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Hath Butler brought those horses from the sheriff?
-
- -Servant -
-One horse, my lord, he brought even now.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-What horse? a roan, a crop-ear, is it not?
-
- -Servant -
-It is, my lord.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
- That roan shall by my throne.
-Well, I will back him straight: O esperance!
-Bid Butler lead him forth into the park.
-

Exit Servant

-
- -LADY PERCY -
-But hear you, my lord.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-What say'st thou, my lady?
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-What is it carries you away?
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Why, my horse, my love, my horse.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-Out, you mad-headed ape!
-A weasel hath not such a deal of spleen
-As you are toss'd with. In faith,
-I'll know your business, Harry, that I will.
-I fear my brother Mortimer doth stir
-About his title, and hath sent for you
-To line his enterprise: but if you go,--
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-So far afoot, I shall be weary, love.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-Come, come, you paraquito, answer me
-Directly unto this question that I ask:
-In faith, I'll break thy little finger, Harry,
-An if thou wilt not tell me all things true.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Away,
-Away, you trifler! Love! I love thee not,
-I care not for thee, Kate: this is no world
-To play with mammets and to tilt with lips:
-We must have bloody noses and crack'd crowns,
-And pass them current too. God's me, my horse!
-What say'st thou, Kate? what would'st thou
-have with me?
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-Do you not love me? do you not, indeed?
-Well, do not then; for since you love me not,
-I will not love myself. Do you not love me?
-Nay, tell me if you speak in jest or no.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Come, wilt thou see me ride?
-And when I am on horseback, I will swear
-I love thee infinitely. But hark you, Kate;
-I must not have you henceforth question me
-Whither I go, nor reason whereabout:
-Whither I must, I must; and, to conclude,
-This evening must I leave you, gentle Kate.
-I know you wise, but yet no farther wise
-Than Harry Percy's wife: constant you are,
-But yet a woman: and for secrecy,
-No lady closer; for I well believe
-Thou wilt not utter what thou dost not know;
-And so far will I trust thee, gentle Kate.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-How! so far?
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Not an inch further. But hark you, Kate:
-Whither I go, thither shall you go too;
-To-day will I set forth, to-morrow you.
-Will this content you, Kate?
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-It must of force.
-

Exeunt

SCENE IV. The Boar's-Head Tavern, Eastcheap.

-

-Enter PRINCE HENRY and POINS -
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Ned, prithee, come out of that fat room, and lend me
-thy hand to laugh a little.
-
- -POINS -
-Where hast been, Hal?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-With three or four loggerheads amongst three or four
-score hogsheads. I have sounded the very
-base-string of humility. Sirrah, I am sworn brother
-to a leash of drawers; and can call them all by
-their christen names, as Tom, Dick, and Francis.
-They take it already upon their salvation, that
-though I be but the prince of Wales, yet I am king
-of courtesy; and tell me flatly I am no proud Jack,
-like Falstaff, but a Corinthian, a lad of mettle, a
-good boy, by the Lord, so they call me, and when I
-am king of England, I shall command all the good
-lads in Eastcheap. They call drinking deep, dyeing
-scarlet; and when you breathe in your watering, they
-cry 'hem!' and bid you play it off. To conclude, I
-am so good a proficient in one quarter of an hour,
-that I can drink with any tinker in his own language
-during my life. I tell thee, Ned, thou hast lost
-much honour, that thou wert not with me in this sweet
-action. But, sweet Ned,--to sweeten which name of
-Ned, I give thee this pennyworth of sugar, clapped
-even now into my hand by an under-skinker, one that
-never spake other English in his life than 'Eight
-shillings and sixpence' and 'You are welcome,' with
-this shrill addition, 'Anon, anon, sir! Score a pint
-of bastard in the Half-Moon,' or so. But, Ned, to
-drive away the time till Falstaff come, I prithee,
-do thou stand in some by-room, while I question my
-puny drawer to what end he gave me the sugar; and do
-thou never leave calling 'Francis,' that his tale
-to me may be nothing but 'Anon.' Step aside, and
-I'll show thee a precedent.
-
- -POINS -
-Francis!
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Thou art perfect.
-
- -POINS -
-Francis!
-

Exit POINS

-

Enter FRANCIS

-
- -FRANCIS -
-Anon, anon, sir. Look down into the Pomgarnet, Ralph.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Come hither, Francis.
-
- -FRANCIS -
-My lord?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-How long hast thou to serve, Francis?
-
- -FRANCIS -
-Forsooth, five years, and as much as to--
-
- -POINS -
-[Within] Francis!
-
- -FRANCIS -
-Anon, anon, sir.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Five year! by'r lady, a long lease for the clinking
-of pewter. But, Francis, darest thou be so valiant
-as to play the coward with thy indenture and show it
-a fair pair of heels and run from it?
-
- -FRANCIS -
-O Lord, sir, I'll be sworn upon all the books in
-England, I could find in my heart.
-
- -POINS -
-[Within] Francis!
-
- -FRANCIS -
-Anon, sir.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-How old art thou, Francis?
-
- -FRANCIS -
-Let me see--about Michaelmas next I shall be--
-
- -POINS -
-[Within] Francis!
-
- -FRANCIS -
-Anon, sir. Pray stay a little, my lord.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Nay, but hark you, Francis: for the sugar thou
-gavest me,'twas a pennyworth, wast't not?
-
- -FRANCIS -
-O Lord, I would it had been two!
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I will give thee for it a thousand pound: ask me
-when thou wilt, and thou shalt have it.
-
- -POINS -
-[Within] Francis!
-
- -FRANCIS -
-Anon, anon.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Anon, Francis? No, Francis; but to-morrow, Francis;
-or, Francis, o' Thursday; or indeed, Francis, when
-thou wilt. But, Francis!
-
- -FRANCIS -
-My lord?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Wilt thou rob this leathern jerkin, crystal-button,
-not-pated, agate-ring, puke-stocking, caddis-garter,
-smooth-tongue, Spanish-pouch,--
-
- -FRANCIS -
-O Lord, sir, who do you mean?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Why, then, your brown bastard is your only drink;
-for look you, Francis, your white canvas doublet
-will sully: in Barbary, sir, it cannot come to so much.
-
- -FRANCIS -
-What, sir?
-
- -POINS -
-[Within] Francis!
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Away, you rogue! dost thou not hear them call?
-

Here they both call him; the drawer stands amazed, not knowing which way to go

-

Enter Vintner

-
- -Vintner -
-What, standest thou still, and hearest such a
-calling? Look to the guests within.
-

Exit Francis

-My lord, old Sir John, with half-a-dozen more, are
-at the door: shall I let them in?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Let them alone awhile, and then open the door.
-

Exit Vintner

-Poins!
-

Re-enter POINS

-
- -POINS -
-Anon, anon, sir.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Sirrah, Falstaff and the rest of the thieves are at
-the door: shall we be merry?
-
- -POINS -
-As merry as crickets, my lad. But hark ye; what
-cunning match have you made with this jest of the
-drawer? come, what's the issue?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I am now of all humours that have showed themselves
-humours since the old days of goodman Adam to the
-pupil age of this present twelve o'clock at midnight.
-

Re-enter FRANCIS

-What's o'clock, Francis?
-
- -FRANCIS -
-Anon, anon, sir.
-

Exit

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-That ever this fellow should have fewer words than a
-parrot, and yet the son of a woman! His industry is
-upstairs and downstairs; his eloquence the parcel of
-a reckoning. I am not yet of Percy's mind, the
-Hotspur of the north; he that kills me some six or
-seven dozen of Scots at a breakfast, washes his
-hands, and says to his wife 'Fie upon this quiet
-life! I want work.' 'O my sweet Harry,' says she,
-'how many hast thou killed to-day?' 'Give my roan
-horse a drench,' says he; and answers 'Some
-fourteen,' an hour after; 'a trifle, a trifle.' I
-prithee, call in Falstaff: I'll play Percy, and
-that damned brawn shall play Dame Mortimer his
-wife. 'Rivo!' says the drunkard. Call in ribs, call in tallow.
-

Enter FALSTAFF, GADSHILL, BARDOLPH, and PETO; FRANCIS following with wine

-
- -POINS -
-Welcome, Jack: where hast thou been?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-A plague of all cowards, I say, and a vengeance too!
-marry, and amen! Give me a cup of sack, boy. Ere I
-lead this life long, I'll sew nether stocks and mend
-them and foot them too. A plague of all cowards!
-Give me a cup of sack, rogue. Is there no virtue extant?
-

He drinks

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Didst thou never see Titan kiss a dish of butter?
-pitiful-hearted Titan, that melted at the sweet tale
-of the sun's! if thou didst, then behold that compound.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-You rogue, here's lime in this sack too: there is
-nothing but roguery to be found in villanous man:
-yet a coward is worse than a cup of sack with lime
-in it. A villanous coward! Go thy ways, old Jack;
-die when thou wilt, if manhood, good manhood, be
-not forgot upon the face of the earth, then am I a
-shotten herring. There live not three good men
-unhanged in England; and one of them is fat and
-grows old: God help the while! a bad world, I say.
-I would I were a weaver; I could sing psalms or any
-thing. A plague of all cowards, I say still.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-How now, wool-sack! what mutter you?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-A king's son! If I do not beat thee out of thy
-kingdom with a dagger of lath, and drive all thy
-subjects afore thee like a flock of wild-geese,
-I'll never wear hair on my face more. You Prince of Wales!
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Why, you whoreson round man, what's the matter?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Are not you a coward? answer me to that: and Poins there?
-
- -POINS -
-'Zounds, ye fat paunch, an ye call me coward, by the
-Lord, I'll stab thee.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-I call thee coward! I'll see thee damned ere I call
-thee coward: but I would give a thousand pound I
-could run as fast as thou canst. You are straight
-enough in the shoulders, you care not who sees your
-back: call you that backing of your friends? A
-plague upon such backing! give me them that will
-face me. Give me a cup of sack: I am a rogue, if I
-drunk to-day.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-O villain! thy lips are scarce wiped since thou
-drunkest last.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-All's one for that.
-

He drinks

-A plague of all cowards, still say I.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What's the matter?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-What's the matter! there be four of us here have
-ta'en a thousand pound this day morning.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Where is it, Jack? where is it?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Where is it! taken from us it is: a hundred upon
-poor four of us.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What, a hundred, man?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-I am a rogue, if I were not at half-sword with a
-dozen of them two hours together. I have 'scaped by
-miracle. I am eight times thrust through the
-doublet, four through the hose; my buckler cut
-through and through; my sword hacked like a
-hand-saw--ecce signum! I never dealt better since
-I was a man: all would not do. A plague of all
-cowards! Let them speak: if they speak more or
-less than truth, they are villains and the sons of darkness.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Speak, sirs; how was it?
-
- -GADSHILL -
-We four set upon some dozen--
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Sixteen at least, my lord.
-
- -GADSHILL -
-And bound them.
-
- -PETO -
-No, no, they were not bound.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-You rogue, they were bound, every man of them; or I
-am a Jew else, an Ebrew Jew.
-
- -GADSHILL -
-As we were sharing, some six or seven fresh men set upon us--
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-And unbound the rest, and then come in the other.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What, fought you with them all?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-All! I know not what you call all; but if I fought
-not with fifty of them, I am a bunch of radish: if
-there were not two or three and fifty upon poor old
-Jack, then am I no two-legged creature.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Pray God you have not murdered some of them.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Nay, that's past praying for: I have peppered two
-of them; two I am sure I have paid, two rogues
-in buckram suits. I tell thee what, Hal, if I tell
-thee a lie, spit in my face, call me horse. Thou
-knowest my old ward; here I lay and thus I bore my
-point. Four rogues in buckram let drive at me--
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What, four? thou saidst but two even now.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Four, Hal; I told thee four.
-
- -POINS -
-Ay, ay, he said four.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-These four came all a-front, and mainly thrust at
-me. I made me no more ado but took all their seven
-points in my target, thus.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Seven? why, there were but four even now.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-In buckram?
-
- -POINS -
-Ay, four, in buckram suits.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Seven, by these hilts, or I am a villain else.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Prithee, let him alone; we shall have more anon.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Dost thou hear me, Hal?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Ay, and mark thee too, Jack.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Do so, for it is worth the listening to. These nine
-in buckram that I told thee of--
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-So, two more already.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Their points being broken,--
-
- -POINS -
-Down fell their hose.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Began to give me ground: but I followed me close,
-came in foot and hand; and with a thought seven of
-the eleven I paid.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-O monstrous! eleven buckram men grown out of two!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-But, as the devil would have it, three misbegotten
-knaves in Kendal green came at my back and let drive
-at me; for it was so dark, Hal, that thou couldst
-not see thy hand.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-These lies are like their father that begets them;
-gross as a mountain, open, palpable. Why, thou
-clay-brained guts, thou knotty-pated fool, thou
-whoreson, obscene, grease tallow-catch,--
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-What, art thou mad? art thou mad? is not the truth
-the truth?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Why, how couldst thou know these men in Kendal
-green, when it was so dark thou couldst not see thy
-hand? come, tell us your reason: what sayest thou to this?
-
- -POINS -
-Come, your reason, Jack, your reason.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-What, upon compulsion? 'Zounds, an I were at the
-strappado, or all the racks in the world, I would
-not tell you on compulsion. Give you a reason on
-compulsion! If reasons were as plentiful as
-blackberries, I would give no man a reason upon
-compulsion, I.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I'll be no longer guilty of this sin; this sanguine
-coward, this bed-presser, this horseback-breaker,
-this huge hill of flesh,--
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-'Sblood, you starveling, you elf-skin, you dried
-neat's tongue, you bull's pizzle, you stock-fish! O
-for breath to utter what is like thee! you
-tailor's-yard, you sheath, you bowcase; you vile
-standing-tuck,--
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Well, breathe awhile, and then to it again: and
-when thou hast tired thyself in base comparisons,
-hear me speak but this.
-
- -POINS -
-Mark, Jack.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-We two saw you four set on four and bound them, and
-were masters of their wealth. Mark now, how a plain
-tale shall put you down. Then did we two set on you
-four; and, with a word, out-faced you from your
-prize, and have it; yea, and can show it you here in
-the house: and, Falstaff, you carried your guts
-away as nimbly, with as quick dexterity, and roared
-for mercy and still run and roared, as ever I heard
-bull-calf. What a slave art thou, to hack thy sword
-as thou hast done, and then say it was in fight!
-What trick, what device, what starting-hole, canst
-thou now find out to hide thee from this open and
-apparent shame?
-
- -POINS -
-Come, let's hear, Jack; what trick hast thou now?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-By the Lord, I knew ye as well as he that made ye.
-Why, hear you, my masters: was it for me to kill the
-heir-apparent? should I turn upon the true prince?
-why, thou knowest I am as valiant as Hercules: but
-beware instinct; the lion will not touch the true
-prince. Instinct is a great matter; I was now a
-coward on instinct. I shall think the better of
-myself and thee during my life; I for a valiant
-lion, and thou for a true prince. But, by the Lord,
-lads, I am glad you have the money. Hostess, clap
-to the doors: watch to-night, pray to-morrow.
-Gallants, lads, boys, hearts of gold, all the titles
-of good fellowship come to you! What, shall we be
-merry? shall we have a play extempore?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Content; and the argument shall be thy running away.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Ah, no more of that, Hal, an thou lovest me!
-

Enter Hostess

-
- -Hostess -
-O Jesu, my lord the prince!
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-How now, my lady the hostess! what sayest thou to
-me?
-
- -Hostess -
-Marry, my lord, there is a nobleman of the court at
-door would speak with you: he says he comes from
-your father.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Give him as much as will make him a royal man, and
-send him back again to my mother.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-What manner of man is he?
-
- -Hostess -
-An old man.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-What doth gravity out of his bed at midnight? Shall
-I give him his answer?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Prithee, do, Jack.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-'Faith, and I'll send him packing.
-

Exit FALSTAFF

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Now, sirs: by'r lady, you fought fair; so did you,
-Peto; so did you, Bardolph: you are lions too, you
-ran away upon instinct, you will not touch the true
-prince; no, fie!
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-'Faith, I ran when I saw others run.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-'Faith, tell me now in earnest, how came Falstaff's
-sword so hacked?
-
- -PETO -
-Why, he hacked it with his dagger, and said he would
-swear truth out of England but he would make you
-believe it was done in fight, and persuaded us to do the like.
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-Yea, and to tickle our noses with spear-grass to
-make them bleed, and then to beslubber our garments
-with it and swear it was the blood of true men. I
-did that I did not this seven year before, I blushed
-to hear his monstrous devices.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-O villain, thou stolest a cup of sack eighteen years
-ago, and wert taken with the manner, and ever since
-thou hast blushed extempore. Thou hadst fire and
-sword on thy side, and yet thou rannest away: what
-instinct hadst thou for it?
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-My lord, do you see these meteors? do you behold
-these exhalations?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I do.
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-What think you they portend?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Hot livers and cold purses.
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-Choler, my lord, if rightly taken.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-No, if rightly taken, halter.
-

Re-enter FALSTAFF

-Here comes lean Jack, here comes bare-bone.
-How now, my sweet creature of bombast!
-How long is't ago, Jack, since thou sawest thine own knee?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-My own knee! when I was about thy years, Hal, I was
-not an eagle's talon in the waist; I could have
-crept into any alderman's thumb-ring: a plague of
-sighing and grief! it blows a man up like a
-bladder. There's villanous news abroad: here was
-Sir John Bracy from your father; you must to the
-court in the morning. That same mad fellow of the
-north, Percy, and he of Wales, that gave Amamon the
-bastinado and made Lucifer cuckold and swore the
-devil his true liegeman upon the cross of a Welsh
-hook--what a plague call you him?
-
- -POINS -
-O, Glendower.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Owen, Owen, the same; and his son-in-law Mortimer,
-and old Northumberland, and that sprightly Scot of
-Scots, Douglas, that runs o' horseback up a hill
-perpendicular,--
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-He that rides at high speed and with his pistol
-kills a sparrow flying.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-You have hit it.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-So did he never the sparrow.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Well, that rascal hath good mettle in him; he will not run.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Why, what a rascal art thou then, to praise him so
-for running!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-O' horseback, ye cuckoo; but afoot he will not budge a foot.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Yes, Jack, upon instinct.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-I grant ye, upon instinct. Well, he is there too,
-and one Mordake, and a thousand blue-caps more:
-Worcester is stolen away to-night; thy father's
-beard is turned white with the news: you may buy
-land now as cheap as stinking mackerel.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Why, then, it is like, if there come a hot June and
-this civil buffeting hold, we shall buy maidenheads
-as they buy hob-nails, by the hundreds.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-By the mass, lad, thou sayest true; it is like we
-shall have good trading that way. But tell me, Hal,
-art not thou horrible afeard? thou being
-heir-apparent, could the world pick thee out three
-such enemies again as that fiend Douglas, that
-spirit Percy, and that devil Glendower? Art thou
-not horribly afraid? doth not thy blood thrill at
-it?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Not a whit, i' faith; I lack some of thy instinct.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Well, thou wert be horribly chid tomorrow when thou
-comest to thy father: if thou love me, practise an answer.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Do thou stand for my father, and examine me upon the
-particulars of my life.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Shall I? content: this chair shall be my state,
-this dagger my sceptre, and this cushion my crown.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Thy state is taken for a joined-stool, thy golden
-sceptre for a leaden dagger, and thy precious rich
-crown for a pitiful bald crown!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Well, an the fire of grace be not quite out of thee,
-now shalt thou be moved. Give me a cup of sack to
-make my eyes look red, that it may be thought I have
-wept; for I must speak in passion, and I will do it
-in King Cambyses' vein.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Well, here is my leg.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-And here is my speech. Stand aside, nobility.
-
- -Hostess -
-O Jesu, this is excellent sport, i' faith!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Weep not, sweet queen; for trickling tears are vain.
-
- -Hostess -
-O, the father, how he holds his countenance!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-For God's sake, lords, convey my tristful queen;
-For tears do stop the flood-gates of her eyes.
-
- -Hostess -
-O Jesu, he doth it as like one of these harlotry
-players as ever I see!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Peace, good pint-pot; peace, good tickle-brain.
-Harry, I do not only marvel where thou spendest thy
-time, but also how thou art accompanied: for though
-the camomile, the more it is trodden on the faster
-it grows, yet youth, the more it is wasted the
-sooner it wears. That thou art my son, I have
-partly thy mother's word, partly my own opinion,
-but chiefly a villanous trick of thine eye and a
-foolish-hanging of thy nether lip, that doth warrant
-me. If then thou be son to me, here lies the point;
-why, being son to me, art thou so pointed at? Shall
-the blessed sun of heaven prove a micher and eat
-blackberries? a question not to be asked. Shall
-the sun of England prove a thief and take purses? a
-question to be asked. There is a thing, Harry,
-which thou hast often heard of and it is known to
-many in our land by the name of pitch: this pitch,
-as ancient writers do report, doth defile; so doth
-the company thou keepest: for, Harry, now I do not
-speak to thee in drink but in tears, not in
-pleasure but in passion, not in words only, but in
-woes also: and yet there is a virtuous man whom I
-have often noted in thy company, but I know not his name.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What manner of man, an it like your majesty?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-A goodly portly man, i' faith, and a corpulent; of a
-cheerful look, a pleasing eye and a most noble
-carriage; and, as I think, his age some fifty, or,
-by'r lady, inclining to three score; and now I
-remember me, his name is Falstaff: if that man
-should be lewdly given, he deceiveth me; for, Harry,
-I see virtue in his looks. If then the tree may be
-known by the fruit, as the fruit by the tree, then,
-peremptorily I speak it, there is virtue in that
-Falstaff: him keep with, the rest banish. And tell
-me now, thou naughty varlet, tell me, where hast
-thou been this month?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Dost thou speak like a king? Do thou stand for me,
-and I'll play my father.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Depose me? if thou dost it half so gravely, so
-majestically, both in word and matter, hang me up by
-the heels for a rabbit-sucker or a poulter's hare.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Well, here I am set.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-And here I stand: judge, my masters.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Now, Harry, whence come you?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-My noble lord, from Eastcheap.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-The complaints I hear of thee are grievous.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-'Sblood, my lord, they are false: nay, I'll tickle
-ye for a young prince, i' faith.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Swearest thou, ungracious boy? henceforth ne'er look
-on me. Thou art violently carried away from grace:
-there is a devil haunts thee in the likeness of an
-old fat man; a tun of man is thy companion. Why
-dost thou converse with that trunk of humours, that
-bolting-hutch of beastliness, that swollen parcel
-of dropsies, that huge bombard of sack, that stuffed
-cloak-bag of guts, that roasted Manningtree ox with
-the pudding in his belly, that reverend vice, that
-grey iniquity, that father ruffian, that vanity in
-years? Wherein is he good, but to taste sack and
-drink it? wherein neat and cleanly, but to carve a
-capon and eat it? wherein cunning, but in craft?
-wherein crafty, but in villany? wherein villanous,
-but in all things? wherein worthy, but in nothing?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-I would your grace would take me with you: whom
-means your grace?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-That villanous abominable misleader of youth,
-Falstaff, that old white-bearded Satan.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-My lord, the man I know.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I know thou dost.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-But to say I know more harm in him than in myself,
-were to say more than I know. That he is old, the
-more the pity, his white hairs do witness it; but
-that he is, saving your reverence, a whoremaster,
-that I utterly deny. If sack and sugar be a fault,
-God help the wicked! if to be old and merry be a
-sin, then many an old host that I know is damned: if
-to be fat be to be hated, then Pharaoh's lean kine
-are to be loved. No, my good lord; banish Peto,
-banish Bardolph, banish Poins: but for sweet Jack
-Falstaff, kind Jack Falstaff, true Jack Falstaff,
-valiant Jack Falstaff, and therefore more valiant,
-being, as he is, old Jack Falstaff, banish not him
-thy Harry's company, banish not him thy Harry's
-company: banish plump Jack, and banish all the world.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I do, I will.
-

A knocking heard

-

Exeunt Hostess, FRANCIS, and BARDOLPH

-

Re-enter BARDOLPH, running

-
- -BARDOLPH -
-O, my lord, my lord! the sheriff with a most
-monstrous watch is at the door.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Out, ye rogue! Play out the play: I have much to
-say in the behalf of that Falstaff.
-

Re-enter the Hostess

-
- -Hostess -
-O Jesu, my lord, my lord!
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Heigh, heigh! the devil rides upon a fiddlestick:
-what's the matter?
-
- -Hostess -
-The sheriff and all the watch are at the door: they
-are come to search the house. Shall I let them in?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Dost thou hear, Hal? never call a true piece of
-gold a counterfeit: thou art essentially mad,
-without seeming so.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-And thou a natural coward, without instinct.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-I deny your major: if you will deny the sheriff,
-so; if not, let him enter: if I become not a cart
-as well as another man, a plague on my bringing up!
-I hope I shall as soon be strangled with a halter as another.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Go, hide thee behind the arras: the rest walk up
-above. Now, my masters, for a true face and good
-conscience.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Both which I have had: but their date is out, and
-therefore I'll hide me.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Call in the sheriff.
-

Exeunt all except PRINCE HENRY and PETO

-

Enter Sheriff and the Carrier

-Now, master sheriff, what is your will with me?
-
- -Sheriff -
-First, pardon me, my lord. A hue and cry
-Hath follow'd certain men unto this house.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What men?
-
- -Sheriff -
-One of them is well known, my gracious lord,
-A gross fat man.
-
- -Carrier -
- As fat as butter.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-The man, I do assure you, is not here;
-For I myself at this time have employ'd him.
-And, sheriff, I will engage my word to thee
-That I will, by to-morrow dinner-time,
-Send him to answer thee, or any man,
-For any thing he shall be charged withal:
-And so let me entreat you leave the house.
-
- -Sheriff -
-I will, my lord. There are two gentlemen
-Have in this robbery lost three hundred marks.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-It may be so: if he have robb'd these men,
-He shall be answerable; and so farewell.
-
- -Sheriff -
-Good night, my noble lord.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I think it is good morrow, is it not?
-
- -Sheriff -
-Indeed, my lord, I think it be two o'clock.
-

Exeunt Sheriff and Carrier

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-This oily rascal is known as well as Paul's. Go,
-call him forth.
-
- -PETO -
-Falstaff!--Fast asleep behind the arras, and
-snorting like a horse.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Hark, how hard he fetches breath. Search his pockets.
-

He searcheth his pockets, and findeth certain papers

-What hast thou found?
-
- -PETO -
-Nothing but papers, my lord.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Let's see what they be: read them.
-
- -PETO -
-[Reads] Item, A capon,. . 2s. 2d.
-Item, Sauce,. . . 4d.
-Item, Sack, two gallons, 5s. 8d.
-Item, Anchovies and sack after supper, 2s. 6d.
-Item, Bread, ob.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-O monstrous! but one half-penny-worth of bread to
-this intolerable deal of sack! What there is else,
-keep close; we'll read it at more advantage: there
-let him sleep till day. I'll to the court in the
-morning. We must all to the wars, and thy place
-shall be honourable. I'll procure this fat rogue a
-charge of foot; and I know his death will be a
-march of twelve-score. The money shall be paid
-back again with advantage. Be with me betimes in
-the morning; and so, good morrow, Peto.
-

Exeunt

-
- -PETO -
-Good morrow, good my lord.
-

-

ACT III

-

SCENE I. Bangor. The Archdeacon's house.

-

-Enter HOTSPUR, WORCESTER, MORTIMER, and GLENDOWER -
- -MORTIMER -
-These promises are fair, the parties sure,
-And our induction full of prosperous hope.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Lord Mortimer, and cousin Glendower,
-Will you sit down?
-And uncle Worcester: a plague upon it!
-I have forgot the map.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-No, here it is.
-Sit, cousin Percy; sit, good cousin Hotspur,
-For by that name as oft as Lancaster
-Doth speak of you, his cheek looks pale and with
-A rising sigh he wisheth you in heaven.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-And you in hell, as oft as he hears Owen Glendower spoke of.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-I cannot blame him: at my nativity
-The front of heaven was full of fiery shapes,
-Of burning cressets; and at my birth
-The frame and huge foundation of the earth
-Shaked like a coward.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Why, so it would have done at the same season, if
-your mother's cat had but kittened, though yourself
-had never been born.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-I say the earth did shake when I was born.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-And I say the earth was not of my mind,
-If you suppose as fearing you it shook.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-The heavens were all on fire, the earth did tremble.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-O, then the earth shook to see the heavens on fire,
-And not in fear of your nativity.
-Diseased nature oftentimes breaks forth
-In strange eruptions; oft the teeming earth
-Is with a kind of colic pinch'd and vex'd
-By the imprisoning of unruly wind
-Within her womb; which, for enlargement striving,
-Shakes the old beldam earth and topples down
-Steeples and moss-grown towers. At your birth
-Our grandam earth, having this distemperature,
-In passion shook.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
- Cousin, of many men
-I do not bear these crossings. Give me leave
-To tell you once again that at my birth
-The front of heaven was full of fiery shapes,
-The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds
-Were strangely clamorous to the frighted fields.
-These signs have mark'd me extraordinary;
-And all the courses of my life do show
-I am not in the roll of common men.
-Where is he living, clipp'd in with the sea
-That chides the banks of England, Scotland, Wales,
-Which calls me pupil, or hath read to me?
-And bring him out that is but woman's son
-Can trace me in the tedious ways of art
-And hold me pace in deep experiments.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I think there's no man speaks better Welsh.
-I'll to dinner.
-
- -MORTIMER -
-Peace, cousin Percy; you will make him mad.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Why, so can I, or so can any man;
-But will they come when you do call for them?
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-Why, I can teach you, cousin, to command
-The devil.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-And I can teach thee, coz, to shame the devil
-By telling truth: tell truth and shame the devil.
-If thou have power to raise him, bring him hither,
-And I'll be sworn I have power to shame him hence.
-O, while you live, tell truth and shame the devil!
-
- -MORTIMER -
-Come, come, no more of this unprofitable chat.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-Three times hath Henry Bolingbroke made head
-Against my power; thrice from the banks of Wye
-And sandy-bottom'd Severn have I sent him
-Bootless home and weather-beaten back.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Home without boots, and in foul weather too!
-How 'scapes he agues, in the devil's name?
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-Come, here's the map: shall we divide our right
-According to our threefold order ta'en?
-
- -MORTIMER -
-The archdeacon hath divided it
-Into three limits very equally:
-England, from Trent and Severn hitherto,
-By south and east is to my part assign'd:
-All westward, Wales beyond the Severn shore,
-And all the fertile land within that bound,
-To Owen Glendower: and, dear coz, to you
-The remnant northward, lying off from Trent.
-And our indentures tripartite are drawn;
-Which being sealed interchangeably,
-A business that this night may execute,
-To-morrow, cousin Percy, you and I
-And my good Lord of Worcester will set forth
-To meet your father and the Scottish power,
-As is appointed us, at Shrewsbury.
-My father Glendower is not ready yet,
-Not shall we need his help these fourteen days.
-Within that space you may have drawn together
-Your tenants, friends and neighbouring gentlemen.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-A shorter time shall send me to you, lords:
-And in my conduct shall your ladies come;
-From whom you now must steal and take no leave,
-For there will be a world of water shed
-Upon the parting of your wives and you.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Methinks my moiety, north from Burton here,
-In quantity equals not one of yours:
-See how this river comes me cranking in,
-And cuts me from the best of all my land
-A huge half-moon, a monstrous cantle out.
-I'll have the current in this place damm'd up;
-And here the smug and silver Trent shall run
-In a new channel, fair and evenly;
-It shall not wind with such a deep indent,
-To rob me of so rich a bottom here.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-Not wind? it shall, it must; you see it doth.
-
- -MORTIMER -
-Yea, but
-Mark how he bears his course, and runs me up
-With like advantage on the other side;
-Gelding the opposed continent as much
-As on the other side it takes from you.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Yea, but a little charge will trench him here
-And on this north side win this cape of land;
-And then he runs straight and even.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I'll have it so: a little charge will do it.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-I'll not have it alter'd.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Will not you?
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-No, nor you shall not.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Who shall say me nay?
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-Why, that will I.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Let me not understand you, then; speak it in Welsh.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-I can speak English, lord, as well as you;
-For I was train'd up in the English court;
-Where, being but young, I framed to the harp
-Many an English ditty lovely well
-And gave the tongue a helpful ornament,
-A virtue that was never seen in you.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Marry,
-And I am glad of it with all my heart:
-I had rather be a kitten and cry mew
-Than one of these same metre ballad-mongers;
-I had rather hear a brazen canstick turn'd,
-Or a dry wheel grate on the axle-tree;
-And that would set my teeth nothing on edge,
-Nothing so much as mincing poetry:
-'Tis like the forced gait of a shuffling nag.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-Come, you shall have Trent turn'd.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I do not care: I'll give thrice so much land
-To any well-deserving friend;
-But in the way of bargain, mark ye me,
-I'll cavil on the ninth part of a hair.
-Are the indentures drawn? shall we be gone?
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-The moon shines fair; you may away by night:
-I'll haste the writer and withal
-Break with your wives of your departure hence:
-I am afraid my daughter will run mad,
-So much she doteth on her Mortimer.
-

Exit GLENDOWER

-
- -MORTIMER -
-Fie, cousin Percy! how you cross my father!
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I cannot choose: sometime he angers me
-With telling me of the mouldwarp and the ant,
-Of the dreamer Merlin and his prophecies,
-And of a dragon and a finless fish,
-A clip-wing'd griffin and a moulten raven,
-A couching lion and a ramping cat,
-And such a deal of skimble-skamble stuff
-As puts me from my faith. I tell you what;
-He held me last night at least nine hours
-In reckoning up the several devils' names
-That were his lackeys: I cried 'hum,' and 'well, go to,'
-But mark'd him not a word. O, he is as tedious
-As a tired horse, a railing wife;
-Worse than a smoky house: I had rather live
-With cheese and garlic in a windmill, far,
-Than feed on cates and have him talk to me
-In any summer-house in Christendom.
-
- -MORTIMER -
-In faith, he is a worthy gentleman,
-Exceedingly well read, and profited
-In strange concealments, valiant as a lion
-And as wondrous affable and as bountiful
-As mines of India. Shall I tell you, cousin?
-He holds your temper in a high respect
-And curbs himself even of his natural scope
-When you come 'cross his humour; faith, he does:
-I warrant you, that man is not alive
-Might so have tempted him as you have done,
-Without the taste of danger and reproof:
-But do not use it oft, let me entreat you.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-In faith, my lord, you are too wilful-blame;
-And since your coming hither have done enough
-To put him quite beside his patience.
-You must needs learn, lord, to amend this fault:
-Though sometimes it show greatness, courage, blood,--
-And that's the dearest grace it renders you,--
-Yet oftentimes it doth present harsh rage,
-Defect of manners, want of government,
-Pride, haughtiness, opinion and disdain:
-The least of which haunting a nobleman
-Loseth men's hearts and leaves behind a stain
-Upon the beauty of all parts besides,
-Beguiling them of commendation.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Well, I am school'd: good manners be your speed!
-Here come our wives, and let us take our leave.
-

Re-enter GLENDOWER with the ladies

-
- -MORTIMER -
-This is the deadly spite that angers me;
-My wife can speak no English, I no Welsh.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-My daughter weeps: she will not part with you;
-She'll be a soldier too, she'll to the wars.
-
- -MORTIMER -
-Good father, tell her that she and my aunt Percy
-Shall follow in your conduct speedily.
-

Glendower speaks to her in Welsh, and she answers him in the same

-
- -GLENDOWER -
-She is desperate here; a peevish self-wind harlotry,
-one that no persuasion can do good upon.
-

The lady speaks in Welsh

-
- -MORTIMER -
-I understand thy looks: that pretty Welsh
-Which thou pour'st down from these swelling heavens
-I am too perfect in; and, but for shame,
-In such a parley should I answer thee.
-

The lady speaks again in Welsh

-I understand thy kisses and thou mine,
-And that's a feeling disputation:
-But I will never be a truant, love,
-Till I have learned thy language; for thy tongue
-Makes Welsh as sweet as ditties highly penn'd,
-Sung by a fair queen in a summer's bower,
-With ravishing division, to her lute.
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-Nay, if you melt, then will she run mad.
-

The lady speaks again in Welsh

-
- -MORTIMER -
-O, I am ignorance itself in this!
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-She bids you on the wanton rushes lay you down
-And rest your gentle head upon her lap,
-And she will sing the song that pleaseth you
-And on your eyelids crown the god of sleep.
-Charming your blood with pleasing heaviness,
-Making such difference 'twixt wake and sleep
-As is the difference betwixt day and night
-The hour before the heavenly-harness'd team
-Begins his golden progress in the east.
-
- -MORTIMER -
-With all my heart I'll sit and hear her sing:
-By that time will our book, I think, be drawn
-
- -GLENDOWER -
-Do so;
-And those musicians that shall play to you
-Hang in the air a thousand leagues from hence,
-And straight they shall be here: sit, and attend.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Come, Kate, thou art perfect in lying down: come,
-quick, quick, that I may lay my head in thy lap.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-Go, ye giddy goose.
-

The music plays

-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Now I perceive the devil understands Welsh;
-And 'tis no marvel he is so humorous.
-By'r lady, he is a good musician.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-Then should you be nothing but musical for you are
-altogether governed by humours. Lie still, ye thief,
-and hear the lady sing in Welsh.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I had rather hear Lady, my brach, howl in Irish.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-Wouldst thou have thy head broken?
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-No.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-Then be still.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Neither;'tis a woman's fault.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-Now God help thee!
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-To the Welsh lady's bed.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-What's that?
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Peace! she sings.
-

Here the lady sings a Welsh song

-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Come, Kate, I'll have your song too.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-Not mine, in good sooth.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Not yours, in good sooth! Heart! you swear like a
-comfit-maker's wife. 'Not you, in good sooth,' and
-'as true as I live,' and 'as God shall mend me,' and
-'as sure as day,'
-And givest such sarcenet surety for thy oaths,
-As if thou never walk'st further than Finsbury.
-Swear me, Kate, like a lady as thou art,
-A good mouth-filling oath, and leave 'in sooth,'
-And such protest of pepper-gingerbread,
-To velvet-guards and Sunday-citizens.
-Come, sing.
-
- -LADY PERCY -
-I will not sing.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-'Tis the next way to turn tailor, or be red-breast
-teacher. An the indentures be drawn, I'll away
-within these two hours; and so, come in when ye will.
-

Exit

-
- -GLENDOWER -
-Come, come, Lord Mortimer; you are as slow
-As hot Lord Percy is on fire to go.
-By this our book is drawn; we'll but seal,
-And then to horse immediately.
-
- -MORTIMER -
-With all my heart.
-

Exeunt

-
-

SCENE II. London. The palace.

-

-Enter KING HENRY IV, PRINCE HENRY, and others -
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Lords, give us leave; the Prince of Wales and I
-Must have some private conference; but be near at hand,
-For we shall presently have need of you.
-

Exeunt Lords

-I know not whether God will have it so,
-For some displeasing service I have done,
-That, in his secret doom, out of my blood
-He'll breed revengement and a scourge for me;
-But thou dost in thy passages of life
-Make me believe that thou art only mark'd
-For the hot vengeance and the rod of heaven
-To punish my mistreadings. Tell me else,
-Could such inordinate and low desires,
-Such poor, such bare, such lewd, such mean attempts,
-Such barren pleasures, rude society,
-As thou art match'd withal and grafted to,
-Accompany the greatness of thy blood
-And hold their level with thy princely heart?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-So please your majesty, I would I could
-Quit all offences with as clear excuse
-As well as I am doubtless I can purge
-Myself of many I am charged withal:
-Yet such extenuation let me beg,
-As, in reproof of many tales devised,
-which oft the ear of greatness needs must hear,
-By smiling pick-thanks and base news-mongers,
-I may, for some things true, wherein my youth
-Hath faulty wander'd and irregular,
-Find pardon on my true submission.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-God pardon thee! yet let me wonder, Harry,
-At thy affections, which do hold a wing
-Quite from the flight of all thy ancestors.
-Thy place in council thou hast rudely lost.
-Which by thy younger brother is supplied,
-And art almost an alien to the hearts
-Of all the court and princes of my blood:
-The hope and expectation of thy time
-Is ruin'd, and the soul of every man
-Prophetically doth forethink thy fall.
-Had I so lavish of my presence been,
-So common-hackney'd in the eyes of men,
-So stale and cheap to vulgar company,
-Opinion, that did help me to the crown,
-Had still kept loyal to possession
-And left me in reputeless banishment,
-A fellow of no mark nor likelihood.
-By being seldom seen, I could not stir
-But like a comet I was wonder'd at;
-That men would tell their children 'This is he;'
-Others would say 'Where, which is Bolingbroke?'
-And then I stole all courtesy from heaven,
-And dress'd myself in such humility
-That I did pluck allegiance from men's hearts,
-Loud shouts and salutations from their mouths,
-Even in the presence of the crowned king.
-Thus did I keep my person fresh and new;
-My presence, like a robe pontifical,
-Ne'er seen but wonder'd at: and so my state,
-Seldom but sumptuous, showed like a feast
-And won by rareness such solemnity.
-The skipping king, he ambled up and down
-With shallow jesters and rash bavin wits,
-Soon kindled and soon burnt; carded his state,
-Mingled his royalty with capering fools,
-Had his great name profaned with their scorns
-And gave his countenance, against his name,
-To laugh at gibing boys and stand the push
-Of every beardless vain comparative,
-Grew a companion to the common streets,
-Enfeoff'd himself to popularity;
-That, being daily swallow'd by men's eyes,
-They surfeited with honey and began
-To loathe the taste of sweetness, whereof a little
-More than a little is by much too much.
-So when he had occasion to be seen,
-He was but as the cuckoo is in June,
-Heard, not regarded; seen, but with such eyes
-As, sick and blunted with community,
-Afford no extraordinary gaze,
-Such as is bent on sun-like majesty
-When it shines seldom in admiring eyes;
-But rather drowzed and hung their eyelids down,
-Slept in his face and render'd such aspect
-As cloudy men use to their adversaries,
-Being with his presence glutted, gorged and full.
-And in that very line, Harry, standest thou;
-For thou has lost thy princely privilege
-With vile participation: not an eye
-But is a-weary of thy common sight,
-Save mine, which hath desired to see thee more;
-Which now doth that I would not have it do,
-Make blind itself with foolish tenderness.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I shall hereafter, my thrice gracious lord,
-Be more myself.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
- For all the world
-As thou art to this hour was Richard then
-When I from France set foot at Ravenspurgh,
-And even as I was then is Percy now.
-Now, by my sceptre and my soul to boot,
-He hath more worthy interest to the state
-Than thou the shadow of succession;
-For of no right, nor colour like to right,
-He doth fill fields with harness in the realm,
-Turns head against the lion's armed jaws,
-And, being no more in debt to years than thou,
-Leads ancient lords and reverend bishops on
-To bloody battles and to bruising arms.
-What never-dying honour hath he got
-Against renowned Douglas! whose high deeds,
-Whose hot incursions and great name in arms
-Holds from all soldiers chief majority
-And military title capital
-Through all the kingdoms that acknowledge Christ:
-Thrice hath this Hotspur, Mars in swathling clothes,
-This infant warrior, in his enterprises
-Discomfited great Douglas, ta'en him once,
-Enlarged him and made a friend of him,
-To fill the mouth of deep defiance up
-And shake the peace and safety of our throne.
-And what say you to this? Percy, Northumberland,
-The Archbishop's grace of York, Douglas, Mortimer,
-Capitulate against us and are up.
-But wherefore do I tell these news to thee?
-Why, Harry, do I tell thee of my foes,
-Which art my near'st and dearest enemy?
-Thou that art like enough, through vassal fear,
-Base inclination and the start of spleen
-To fight against me under Percy's pay,
-To dog his heels and curtsy at his frowns,
-To show how much thou art degenerate.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Do not think so; you shall not find it so:
-And God forgive them that so much have sway'd
-Your majesty's good thoughts away from me!
-I will redeem all this on Percy's head
-And in the closing of some glorious day
-Be bold to tell you that I am your son;
-When I will wear a garment all of blood
-And stain my favours in a bloody mask,
-Which, wash'd away, shall scour my shame with it:
-And that shall be the day, whene'er it lights,
-That this same child of honour and renown,
-This gallant Hotspur, this all-praised knight,
-And your unthought-of Harry chance to meet.
-For every honour sitting on his helm,
-Would they were multitudes, and on my head
-My shames redoubled! for the time will come,
-That I shall make this northern youth exchange
-His glorious deeds for my indignities.
-Percy is but my factor, good my lord,
-To engross up glorious deeds on my behalf;
-And I will call him to so strict account,
-That he shall render every glory up,
-Yea, even the slightest worship of his time,
-Or I will tear the reckoning from his heart.
-This, in the name of God, I promise here:
-The which if He be pleased I shall perform,
-I do beseech your majesty may salve
-The long-grown wounds of my intemperance:
-If not, the end of life cancels all bands;
-And I will die a hundred thousand deaths
-Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-A hundred thousand rebels die in this:
-Thou shalt have charge and sovereign trust herein.
-

Enter BLUNT

-How now, good Blunt? thy looks are full of speed.
-
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-So hath the business that I come to speak of.
-Lord Mortimer of Scotland hath sent word
-That Douglas and the English rebels met
-The eleventh of this month at Shrewsbury
-A mighty and a fearful head they are,
-If promises be kept on every hand,
-As ever offer'd foul play in the state.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-The Earl of Westmoreland set forth to-day;
-With him my son, Lord John of Lancaster;
-For this advertisement is five days old:
-On Wednesday next, Harry, you shall set forward;
-On Thursday we ourselves will march: our meeting
-Is Bridgenorth: and, Harry, you shall march
-Through Gloucestershire; by which account,
-Our business valued, some twelve days hence
-Our general forces at Bridgenorth shall meet.
-Our hands are full of business: let's away;
-Advantage feeds him fat, while men delay.
-

Exeunt

-
- -Scene III -
-Eastcheap. The Boar's-Head Tavern.
-

Enter FALSTAFF and BARDOLPH

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Bardolph, am I not fallen away vilely since this last
-action? do I not bate? do I not dwindle? Why my
-skin hangs about me like an like an old lady's loose
-gown; I am withered like an old apple-john. Well,
-I'll repent, and that suddenly, while I am in some
-liking; I shall be out of heart shortly, and then I
-shall have no strength to repent. An I have not
-forgotten what the inside of a church is made of, I
-am a peppercorn, a brewer's horse: the inside of a
-church! Company, villanous company, hath been the
-spoil of me.
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-Sir John, you are so fretful, you cannot live long.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Why, there is it: come sing me a bawdy song; make
-me merry. I was as virtuously given as a gentleman
-need to be; virtuous enough; swore little; diced not
-above seven times a week; went to a bawdy-house once
-in a quarter--of an hour; paid money that I
-borrowed, three of four times; lived well and in
-good compass: and now I live out of all order, out
-of all compass.
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-Why, you are so fat, Sir John, that you must needs
-be out of all compass, out of all reasonable
-compass, Sir John.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Do thou amend thy face, and I'll amend my life:
-thou art our admiral, thou bearest the lantern in
-the poop, but 'tis in the nose of thee; thou art the
-Knight of the Burning Lamp.
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-Why, Sir John, my face does you no harm.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-No, I'll be sworn; I make as good use of it as many
-a man doth of a Death's-head or a memento mori: I
-never see thy face but I think upon hell-fire and
-Dives that lived in purple; for there he is in his
-robes, burning, burning. If thou wert any way
-given to virtue, I would swear by thy face; my oath
-should be 'By this fire, that's God's angel:' but
-thou art altogether given over; and wert indeed, but
-for the light in thy face, the son of utter
-darkness. When thou rannest up Gadshill in the
-night to catch my horse, if I did not think thou
-hadst been an ignis fatuus or a ball of wildfire,
-there's no purchase in money. O, thou art a
-perpetual triumph, an everlasting bonfire-light!
-Thou hast saved me a thousand marks in links and
-torches, walking with thee in the night betwixt
-tavern and tavern: but the sack that thou hast
-drunk me would have bought me lights as good cheap
-at the dearest chandler's in Europe. I have
-maintained that salamander of yours with fire any
-time this two and thirty years; God reward me for
-it!
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-'Sblood, I would my face were in your belly!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-God-a-mercy! so should I be sure to be heart-burned.
-

Enter Hostess

-How now, Dame Partlet the hen! have you inquired
-yet who picked my pocket?
-
- -Hostess -
-Why, Sir John, what do you think, Sir John? do you
-think I keep thieves in my house? I have searched,
-I have inquired, so has my husband, man by man, boy
-by boy, servant by servant: the tithe of a hair
-was never lost in my house before.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Ye lie, hostess: Bardolph was shaved and lost many
-a hair; and I'll be sworn my pocket was picked. Go
-to, you are a woman, go.
-
- -Hostess -
-Who, I? no; I defy thee: God's light, I was never
-called so in mine own house before.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Go to, I know you well enough.
-
- -Hostess -
-No, Sir John; You do not know me, Sir John. I know
-you, Sir John: you owe me money, Sir John; and now
-you pick a quarrel to beguile me of it: I bought
-you a dozen of shirts to your back.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Dowlas, filthy dowlas: I have given them away to
-bakers' wives, and they have made bolters of them.
-
- -Hostess -
-Now, as I am a true woman, holland of eight
-shillings an ell. You owe money here besides, Sir
-John, for your diet and by-drinkings, and money lent
-you, four and twenty pound.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-He had his part of it; let him pay.
-
- -Hostess -
-He? alas, he is poor; he hath nothing.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-How! poor? look upon his face; what call you rich?
-let them coin his nose, let them coin his cheeks:
-Ill not pay a denier. What, will you make a younker
-of me? shall I not take mine case in mine inn but I
-shall have my pocket picked? I have lost a
-seal-ring of my grandfather's worth forty mark.
-
- -Hostess -
-O Jesu, I have heard the prince tell him, I know not
-how oft, that ring was copper!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-How! the prince is a Jack, a sneak-cup: 'sblood, an
-he were here, I would cudgel him like a dog, if he
-would say so.
-

Enter PRINCE HENRY and PETO, marching, and FALSTAFF meets them playing on his truncheon like a life

-How now, lad! is the wind in that door, i' faith?
-must we all march?
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-Yea, two and two, Newgate fashion.
-
- -Hostess -
-My lord, I pray you, hear me.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What sayest thou, Mistress Quickly? How doth thy
-husband? I love him well; he is an honest man.
-
- -Hostess -
-Good my lord, hear me.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Prithee, let her alone, and list to me.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What sayest thou, Jack?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-The other night I fell asleep here behind the arras
-and had my pocket picked: this house is turned
-bawdy-house; they pick pockets.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What didst thou lose, Jack?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Wilt thou believe me, Hal? three or four bonds of
-forty pound apiece, and a seal-ring of my
-grandfather's.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-A trifle, some eight-penny matter.
-
- -Hostess -
-So I told him, my lord; and I said I heard your
-grace say so: and, my lord, he speaks most vilely
-of you, like a foul-mouthed man as he is; and said
-he would cudgel you.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What! he did not?
-
- -Hostess -
-There's neither faith, truth, nor womanhood in me else.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-There's no more faith in thee than in a stewed
-prune; nor no more truth in thee than in a drawn
-fox; and for womanhood, Maid Marian may be the
-deputy's wife of the ward to thee. Go, you thing,
-go
-
- -Hostess -
-Say, what thing? what thing?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-What thing! why, a thing to thank God on.
-
- -Hostess -
-I am no thing to thank God on, I would thou
-shouldst know it; I am an honest man's wife: and,
-setting thy knighthood aside, thou art a knave to
-call me so.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Setting thy womanhood aside, thou art a beast to say
-otherwise.
-
- -Hostess -
-Say, what beast, thou knave, thou?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-What beast! why, an otter.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-An otter, Sir John! Why an otter?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Why, she's neither fish nor flesh; a man knows not
-where to have her.
-
- -Hostess -
-Thou art an unjust man in saying so: thou or any
-man knows where to have me, thou knave, thou!
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Thou sayest true, hostess; and he slanders thee most grossly.
-
- -Hostess -
-So he doth you, my lord; and said this other day you
-ought him a thousand pound.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Sirrah, do I owe you a thousand pound?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-A thousand pound, Ha! a million: thy love is worth
-a million: thou owest me thy love.
-
- -Hostess -
-Nay, my lord, he called you Jack, and said he would
-cudgel you.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Did I, Bardolph?
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-Indeed, Sir John, you said so.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Yea, if he said my ring was copper.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I say 'tis copper: darest thou be as good as thy word now?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Why, Hal, thou knowest, as thou art but man, I dare:
-but as thou art prince, I fear thee as I fear the
-roaring of a lion's whelp.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-And why not as the lion?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-The king is to be feared as the lion: dost thou
-think I'll fear thee as I fear thy father? nay, an
-I do, I pray God my girdle break.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-O, if it should, how would thy guts fall about thy
-knees! But, sirrah, there's no room for faith,
-truth, nor honesty in this bosom of thine; it is all
-filled up with guts and midriff. Charge an honest
-woman with picking thy pocket! why, thou whoreson,
-impudent, embossed rascal, if there were anything in
-thy pocket but tavern-reckonings, memorandums of
-bawdy-houses, and one poor penny-worth of
-sugar-candy to make thee long-winded, if thy pocket
-were enriched with any other injuries but these, I
-am a villain: and yet you will stand to if; you will
-not pocket up wrong: art thou not ashamed?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Dost thou hear, Hal? thou knowest in the state of
-innocency Adam fell; and what should poor Jack
-Falstaff do in the days of villany? Thou seest I
-have more flesh than another man, and therefore more
-frailty. You confess then, you picked my pocket?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-It appears so by the story.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Hostess, I forgive thee: go, make ready breakfast;
-love thy husband, look to thy servants, cherish thy
-guests: thou shalt find me tractable to any honest
-reason: thou seest I am pacified still. Nay,
-prithee, be gone.
-

Exit Hostess

-Now Hal, to the news at court: for the robbery,
-lad, how is that answered?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-O, my sweet beef, I must still be good angel to
-thee: the money is paid back again.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-O, I do not like that paying back; 'tis a double labour.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I am good friends with my father and may do any thing.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Rob me the exchequer the first thing thou doest, and
-do it with unwashed hands too.
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-Do, my lord.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I have procured thee, Jack, a charge of foot.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-I would it had been of horse. Where shall I find
-one that can steal well? O for a fine thief, of the
-age of two and twenty or thereabouts! I am
-heinously unprovided. Well, God be thanked for
-these rebels, they offend none but the virtuous: I
-laud them, I praise them.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Bardolph!
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-My lord?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Go bear this letter to Lord John of Lancaster, to my
-brother John; this to my Lord of Westmoreland.
-

Exit Bardolph

-Go, Peto, to horse, to horse; for thou and I have
-thirty miles to ride yet ere dinner time.
-

Exit Peto

-Jack, meet me to-morrow in the temple hall at two
-o'clock in the afternoon.
-There shalt thou know thy charge; and there receive
-Money and order for their furniture.
-The land is burning; Percy stands on high;
-And either we or they must lower lie.
-

Exit PRINCE HENRY

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Rare words! brave world! Hostess, my breakfast, come!
-O, I could wish this tavern were my drum!

ACT IV

-

SCENE I. The rebel camp near Shrewsbury.

-

-Enter HOTSPUR, WORCESTER, and DOUGLAS -
- -HOTSPUR -
-Well said, my noble Scot: if speaking truth
-In this fine age were not thought flattery,
-Such attribution should the Douglas have,
-As not a soldier of this season's stamp
-Should go so general current through the world.
-By God, I cannot flatter; I do defy
-The tongues of soothers; but a braver place
-In my heart's love hath no man than yourself:
-Nay, task me to my word; approve me, lord.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-Thou art the king of honour:
-No man so potent breathes upon the ground
-But I will beard him.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Do so, and 'tis well.
-

Enter a Messenger with letters

-What letters hast thou there?--I can but thank you.
-
- -Messenger -
-These letters come from your father.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Letters from him! why comes he not himself?
-
- -Messenger -
-He cannot come, my lord; he is grievous sick.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-'Zounds! how has he the leisure to be sick
-In such a rustling time? Who leads his power?
-Under whose government come they along?
-
- -Messenger -
-His letters bear his mind, not I, my lord.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-I prithee, tell me, doth he keep his bed?
-
- -Messenger -
-He did, my lord, four days ere I set forth;
-And at the time of my departure thence
-He was much fear'd by his physicians.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-I would the state of time had first been whole
-Ere he by sickness had been visited:
-His health was never better worth than now.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Sick now! droop now! this sickness doth infect
-The very life-blood of our enterprise;
-'Tis catching hither, even to our camp.
-He writes me here, that inward sickness--
-And that his friends by deputation could not
-So soon be drawn, nor did he think it meet
-To lay so dangerous and dear a trust
-On any soul removed but on his own.
-Yet doth he give us bold advertisement,
-That with our small conjunction we should on,
-To see how fortune is disposed to us;
-For, as he writes, there is no quailing now.
-Because the king is certainly possess'd
-Of all our purposes. What say you to it?
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Your father's sickness is a maim to us.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-A perilous gash, a very limb lopp'd off:
-And yet, in faith, it is not; his present want
-Seems more than we shall find it: were it good
-To set the exact wealth of all our states
-All at one cast? to set so rich a main
-On the nice hazard of one doubtful hour?
-It were not good; for therein should we read
-The very bottom and the soul of hope,
-The very list, the very utmost bound
-Of all our fortunes.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-'Faith, and so we should;
-Where now remains a sweet reversion:
-We may boldly spend upon the hope of what
-Is to come in:
-A comfort of retirement lives in this.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-A rendezvous, a home to fly unto.
-If that the devil and mischance look big
-Upon the maidenhead of our affairs.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-But yet I would your father had been here.
-The quality and hair of our attempt
-Brooks no division: it will be thought
-By some, that know not why he is away,
-That wisdom, loyalty and mere dislike
-Of our proceedings kept the earl from hence:
-And think how such an apprehension
-May turn the tide of fearful faction
-And breed a kind of question in our cause;
-For well you know we of the offering side
-Must keep aloof from strict arbitrement,
-And stop all sight-holes, every loop from whence
-The eye of reason may pry in upon us:
-This absence of your father's draws a curtain,
-That shows the ignorant a kind of fear
-Before not dreamt of.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-You strain too far.
-I rather of his absence make this use:
-It lends a lustre and more great opinion,
-A larger dare to our great enterprise,
-Than if the earl were here; for men must think,
-If we without his help can make a head
-To push against a kingdom, with his help
-We shall o'erturn it topsy-turvy down.
-Yet all goes well, yet all our joints are whole.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-As heart can think: there is not such a word
-Spoke of in Scotland as this term of fear.
-

Enter SIR RICHARD VERNON

-
- -HOTSPUR -
-My cousin Vernon, welcome, by my soul.
-
- -VERNON -
-Pray God my news be worth a welcome, lord.
-The Earl of Westmoreland, seven thousand strong,
-Is marching hitherwards; with him Prince John.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-No harm: what more?
-
- -VERNON -
-And further, I have learn'd,
-The king himself in person is set forth,
-Or hitherwards intended speedily,
-With strong and mighty preparation.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-He shall be welcome too. Where is his son,
-The nimble-footed madcap Prince of Wales,
-And his comrades, that daff'd the world aside,
-And bid it pass?
-
- -VERNON -
- All furnish'd, all in arms;
-All plumed like estridges that with the wind
-Baited like eagles having lately bathed;
-Glittering in golden coats, like images;
-As full of spirit as the month of May,
-And gorgeous as the sun at midsummer;
-Wanton as youthful goats, wild as young bulls.
-I saw young Harry, with his beaver on,
-His cuisses on his thighs, gallantly arm'd
-Rise from the ground like feather'd Mercury,
-And vaulted with such ease into his seat,
-As if an angel dropp'd down from the clouds,
-To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus
-And witch the world with noble horsemanship.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-No more, no more: worse than the sun in March,
-This praise doth nourish agues. Let them come:
-They come like sacrifices in their trim,
-And to the fire-eyed maid of smoky war
-All hot and bleeding will we offer them:
-The mailed Mars shall on his altar sit
-Up to the ears in blood. I am on fire
-To hear this rich reprisal is so nigh
-And yet not ours. Come, let me taste my horse,
-Who is to bear me like a thunderbolt
-Against the bosom of the Prince of Wales:
-Harry to Harry shall, hot horse to horse,
-Meet and ne'er part till one drop down a corse.
-O that Glendower were come!
-
- -VERNON -
-There is more news:
-I learn'd in Worcester, as I rode along,
-He cannot draw his power this fourteen days.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-That's the worst tidings that I hear of yet.
-
- -WORCESTER -
-Ay, by my faith, that bears a frosty sound.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-What may the king's whole battle reach unto?
-
- -VERNON -
-To thirty thousand.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Forty let it be:
-My father and Glendower being both away,
-The powers of us may serve so great a day
-Come, let us take a muster speedily:
-Doomsday is near; die all, die merrily.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-Talk not of dying: I am out of fear
-Of death or death's hand for this one-half year.
-

Exeunt

SCENE II. A public road near Coventry.

-

-Enter FALSTAFF and BARDOLPH -
- -FALSTAFF -
-Bardolph, get thee before to Coventry; fill me a
-bottle of sack: our soldiers shall march through;
-we'll to Sutton Co'fil' tonight.
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-Will you give me money, captain?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Lay out, lay out.
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-This bottle makes an angel.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-An if it do, take it for thy labour; and if it make
-twenty, take them all; I'll answer the coinage. Bid
-my lieutenant Peto meet me at town's end.
-
- -BARDOLPH -
-I will, captain: farewell.
-

Exit

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-If I be not ashamed of my soldiers, I am a soused
-gurnet. I have misused the king's press damnably.
-I have got, in exchange of a hundred and fifty
-soldiers, three hundred and odd pounds. I press me
-none but good house-holders, yeoman's sons; inquire
-me out contracted bachelors, such as had been asked
-twice on the banns; such a commodity of warm slaves,
-as had as lieve hear the devil as a drum; such as
-fear the report of a caliver worse than a struck
-fowl or a hurt wild-duck. I pressed me none but such
-toasts-and-butter, with hearts in their bellies no
-bigger than pins' heads, and they have bought out
-their services; and now my whole charge consists of
-ancients, corporals, lieutenants, gentlemen of
-companies, slaves as ragged as Lazarus in the
-painted cloth, where the glutton's dogs licked his
-sores; and such as indeed were never soldiers, but
-discarded unjust serving-men, younger sons to
-younger brothers, revolted tapsters and ostlers
-trade-fallen, the cankers of a calm world and a
-long peace, ten times more dishonourable ragged than
-an old faced ancient: and such have I, to fill up
-the rooms of them that have bought out their
-services, that you would think that I had a hundred
-and fifty tattered prodigals lately come from
-swine-keeping, from eating draff and husks. A mad
-fellow met me on the way and told me I had unloaded
-all the gibbets and pressed the dead bodies. No eye
-hath seen such scarecrows. I'll not march through
-Coventry with them, that's flat: nay, and the
-villains march wide betwixt the legs, as if they had
-gyves on; for indeed I had the most of them out of
-prison. There's but a shirt and a half in all my
-company; and the half shirt is two napkins tacked
-together and thrown over the shoulders like an
-herald's coat without sleeves; and the shirt, to say
-the truth, stolen from my host at Saint Alban's, or
-the red-nose innkeeper of Daventry. But that's all
-one; they'll find linen enough on every hedge.
-

Enter the PRINCE and WESTMORELAND

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-How now, blown Jack! how now, quilt!
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-What, Hal! how now, mad wag! what a devil dost thou
-in Warwickshire? My good Lord of Westmoreland, I
-cry you mercy: I thought your honour had already been
-at Shrewsbury.
-
- -WESTMORELAND -
-Faith, Sir John,'tis more than time that I were
-there, and you too; but my powers are there already.
-The king, I can tell you, looks for us all: we must
-away all night.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Tut, never fear me: I am as vigilant as a cat to
-steal cream.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I think, to steal cream indeed, for thy theft hath
-already made thee butter. But tell me, Jack, whose
-fellows are these that come after?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Mine, Hal, mine.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I did never see such pitiful rascals.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Tut, tut; good enough to toss; food for powder, food
-for powder; they'll fill a pit as well as better:
-tush, man, mortal men, mortal men.
-
- -WESTMORELAND -
-Ay, but, Sir John, methinks they are exceeding poor
-and bare, too beggarly.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-'Faith, for their poverty, I know not where they had
-that; and for their bareness, I am sure they never
-learned that of me.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-No I'll be sworn; unless you call three fingers on
-the ribs bare. But, sirrah, make haste: Percy is
-already in the field.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-What, is the king encamped?
-
- -WESTMORELAND -
-He is, Sir John: I fear we shall stay too long.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Well,
-To the latter end of a fray and the beginning of a feast
-Fits a dull fighter and a keen guest.
-

Exeunt

SCENE III. The rebel camp near Shrewsbury.

-

-Enter HOTSPUR, WORCESTER, DOUGLAS, and VERNON -
- -HOTSPUR -
-We'll fight with him to-night.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-It may not be.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-You give him then the advantage.
-
- -VERNON -
-Not a whit.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Why say you so? looks he not for supply?
-
- -VERNON -
-So do we.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
- His is certain, ours is doubtful.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Good cousin, be advised; stir not tonight.
-
- -VERNON -
-Do not, my lord.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
- You do not counsel well:
-You speak it out of fear and cold heart.
-
- -VERNON -
-Do me no slander, Douglas: by my life,
-And I dare well maintain it with my life,
-If well-respected honour bid me on,
-I hold as little counsel with weak fear
-As you, my lord, or any Scot that this day lives:
-Let it be seen to-morrow in the battle
-Which of us fears.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
- Yea, or to-night.
-
- -VERNON -
-Content.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-To-night, say I.
-
- -VERNON -
-Come, come it nay not be. I wonder much,
-Being men of such great leading as you are,
-That you foresee not what impediments
-Drag back our expedition: certain horse
-Of my cousin Vernon's are not yet come up:
-Your uncle Worcester's horse came but today;
-And now their pride and mettle is asleep,
-Their courage with hard labour tame and dull,
-That not a horse is half the half of himself.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-So are the horses of the enemy
-In general, journey-bated and brought low:
-The better part of ours are full of rest.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-The number of the king exceedeth ours:
-For God's sake. cousin, stay till all come in.
-

The trumpet sounds a parley

-

Enter SIR WALTER BLUNT

-
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-I come with gracious offers from the king,
-if you vouchsafe me hearing and respect.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Welcome, Sir Walter Blunt; and would to God
-You were of our determination!
-Some of us love you well; and even those some
-Envy your great deservings and good name,
-Because you are not of our quality,
-But stand against us like an enemy.
-
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-And God defend but still I should stand so,
-So long as out of limit and true rule
-You stand against anointed majesty.
-But to my charge. The king hath sent to know
-The nature of your griefs, and whereupon
-You conjure from the breast of civil peace
-Such bold hostility, teaching his duteous land
-Audacious cruelty. If that the king
-Have any way your good deserts forgot,
-Which he confesseth to be manifold,
-He bids you name your griefs; and with all speed
-You shall have your desires with interest
-And pardon absolute for yourself and these
-Herein misled by your suggestion.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-The king is kind; and well we know the king
-Knows at what time to promise, when to pay.
-My father and my uncle and myself
-Did give him that same royalty he wears;
-And when he was not six and twenty strong,
-Sick in the world's regard, wretched and low,
-A poor unminded outlaw sneaking home,
-My father gave him welcome to the shore;
-And when he heard him swear and vow to God
-He came but to be Duke of Lancaster,
-To sue his livery and beg his peace,
-With tears of innocency and terms of zeal,
-My father, in kind heart and pity moved,
-Swore him assistance and perform'd it too.
-Now when the lords and barons of the realm
-Perceived Northumberland did lean to him,
-The more and less came in with cap and knee;
-Met him in boroughs, cities, villages,
-Attended him on bridges, stood in lanes,
-Laid gifts before him, proffer'd him their oaths,
-Gave him their heirs, as pages follow'd him
-Even at the heels in golden multitudes.
-He presently, as greatness knows itself,
-Steps me a little higher than his vow
-Made to my father, while his blood was poor,
-Upon the naked shore at Ravenspurgh;
-And now, forsooth, takes on him to reform
-Some certain edicts and some strait decrees
-That lie too heavy on the commonwealth,
-Cries out upon abuses, seems to weep
-Over his country's wrongs; and by this face,
-This seeming brow of justice, did he win
-The hearts of all that he did angle for;
-Proceeded further; cut me off the heads
-Of all the favourites that the absent king
-In deputation left behind him here,
-When he was personal in the Irish war.
-
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-Tut, I came not to hear this.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Then to the point.
-In short time after, he deposed the king;
-Soon after that, deprived him of his life;
-And in the neck of that, task'd the whole state:
-To make that worse, suffer'd his kinsman March,
-Who is, if every owner were well placed,
-Indeed his king, to be engaged in Wales,
-There without ransom to lie forfeited;
-Disgraced me in my happy victories,
-Sought to entrap me by intelligence;
-Rated mine uncle from the council-board;
-In rage dismiss'd my father from the court;
-Broke oath on oath, committed wrong on wrong,
-And in conclusion drove us to seek out
-This head of safety; and withal to pry
-Into his title, the which we find
-Too indirect for long continuance.
-
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-Shall I return this answer to the king?
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Not so, Sir Walter: we'll withdraw awhile.
-Go to the king; and let there be impawn'd
-Some surety for a safe return again,
-And in the morning early shall my uncle
-Bring him our purposes: and so farewell.
-
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-I would you would accept of grace and love.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-And may be so we shall.
-
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-Pray God you do.
-

Exeunt

SCENE IV. York. The ARCHBISHOP'S palace.

-

-Enter the ARCHBISHOP OF YORK and SIR MICHAEL -
- -ARCHBISHOP OF YORK -
-Hie, good Sir Michael; bear this sealed brief
-With winged haste to the lord marshal;
-This to my cousin Scroop, and all the rest
-To whom they are directed. If you knew
-How much they do to import, you would make haste.
-
- -SIR MICHAEL -
-My good lord,
-I guess their tenor.
-
- -ARCHBISHOP OF YORK -
-Like enough you do.
-To-morrow, good Sir Michael, is a day
-Wherein the fortune of ten thousand men
-Must bide the touch; for, sir, at Shrewsbury,
-As I am truly given to understand,
-The king with mighty and quick-raised power
-Meets with Lord Harry: and, I fear, Sir Michael,
-What with the sickness of Northumberland,
-Whose power was in the first proportion,
-And what with Owen Glendower's absence thence,
-Who with them was a rated sinew too
-And comes not in, o'er-ruled by prophecies,
-I fear the power of Percy is too weak
-To wage an instant trial with the king.
-
- -SIR MICHAEL -
-Why, my good lord, you need not fear;
-There is Douglas and Lord Mortimer.
-
- -ARCHBISHOP OF YORK -
-No, Mortimer is not there.
-
- -SIR MICHAEL -
-But there is Mordake, Vernon, Lord Harry Percy,
-And there is my Lord of Worcester and a head
-Of gallant warriors, noble gentlemen.
-
- -ARCHBISHOP OF YORK -
-And so there is: but yet the king hath drawn
-The special head of all the land together:
-The Prince of Wales, Lord John of Lancaster,
-The noble Westmoreland and warlike Blunt;
-And moe corrivals and dear men
-Of estimation and command in arms.
-
- -SIR MICHAEL -
-Doubt not, my lord, they shall be well opposed.
-
- -ARCHBISHOP OF YORK -
-I hope no less, yet needful 'tis to fear;
-And, to prevent the worst, Sir Michael, speed:
-For if Lord Percy thrive not, ere the king
-Dismiss his power, he means to visit us,
-For he hath heard of our confederacy,
-And 'tis but wisdom to make strong against him:
-Therefore make haste. I must go write again
-To other friends; and so farewell, Sir Michael.
-

Exeunt

ACT V

-

SCENE I. KING HENRY IV's camp near Shrewsbury.

-

-Enter KING HENRY, PRINCE HENRY, Lord John of LANCASTER, EARL OF WESTMORELAND, SIR WALTER BLUNT, and FALSTAFF -
- -KING HENRY IV -
-How bloodily the sun begins to peer
-Above yon busky hill! the day looks pale
-At his distemperature.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-The southern wind
-Doth play the trumpet to his purposes,
-And by his hollow whistling in the leaves
-Foretells a tempest and a blustering day.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Then with the losers let it sympathize,
-For nothing can seem foul to those that win.
-

The trumpet sounds

-

Enter WORCESTER and VERNON

-How now, my Lord of Worcester! 'tis not well
-That you and I should meet upon such terms
-As now we meet. You have deceived our trust,
-And made us doff our easy robes of peace,
-To crush our old limbs in ungentle steel:
-This is not well, my lord, this is not well.
-What say you to it? will you again unknit
-This curlish knot of all-abhorred war?
-And move in that obedient orb again
-Where you did give a fair and natural light,
-And be no more an exhaled meteor,
-A prodigy of fear and a portent
-Of broached mischief to the unborn times?
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Hear me, my liege:
-For mine own part, I could be well content
-To entertain the lag-end of my life
-With quiet hours; for I do protest,
-I have not sought the day of this dislike.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-You have not sought it! how comes it, then?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Rebellion lay in his way, and he found it.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Peace, chewet, peace!
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-It pleased your majesty to turn your looks
-Of favour from myself and all our house;
-And yet I must remember you, my lord,
-We were the first and dearest of your friends.
-For you my staff of office did I break
-In Richard's time; and posted day and night
-to meet you on the way, and kiss your hand,
-When yet you were in place and in account
-Nothing so strong and fortunate as I.
-It was myself, my brother and his son,
-That brought you home and boldly did outdare
-The dangers of the time. You swore to us,
-And you did swear that oath at Doncaster,
-That you did nothing purpose 'gainst the state;
-Nor claim no further than your new-fall'n right,
-The seat of Gaunt, dukedom of Lancaster:
-To this we swore our aid. But in short space
-It rain'd down fortune showering on your head;
-And such a flood of greatness fell on you,
-What with our help, what with the absent king,
-What with the injuries of a wanton time,
-The seeming sufferances that you had borne,
-And the contrarious winds that held the king
-So long in his unlucky Irish wars
-That all in England did repute him dead:
-And from this swarm of fair advantages
-You took occasion to be quickly woo'd
-To gripe the general sway into your hand;
-Forget your oath to us at Doncaster;
-And being fed by us you used us so
-As that ungentle hull, the cuckoo's bird,
-Useth the sparrow; did oppress our nest;
-Grew by our feeding to so great a bulk
-That even our love durst not come near your sight
-For fear of swallowing; but with nimble wing
-We were enforced, for safety sake, to fly
-Out of sight and raise this present head;
-Whereby we stand opposed by such means
-As you yourself have forged against yourself
-By unkind usage, dangerous countenance,
-And violation of all faith and troth
-Sworn to us in your younger enterprise.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-These things indeed you have articulate,
-Proclaim'd at market-crosses, read in churches,
-To face the garment of rebellion
-With some fine colour that may please the eye
-Of fickle changelings and poor discontents,
-Which gape and rub the elbow at the news
-Of hurlyburly innovation:
-And never yet did insurrection want
-Such water-colours to impaint his cause;
-Nor moody beggars, starving for a time
-Of pellmell havoc and confusion.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-In both your armies there is many a soul
-Shall pay full dearly for this encounter,
-If once they join in trial. Tell your nephew,
-The Prince of Wales doth join with all the world
-In praise of Henry Percy: by my hopes,
-This present enterprise set off his head,
-I do not think a braver gentleman,
-More active-valiant or more valiant-young,
-More daring or more bold, is now alive
-To grace this latter age with noble deeds.
-For my part, I may speak it to my shame,
-I have a truant been to chivalry;
-And so I hear he doth account me too;
-Yet this before my father's majesty--
-I am content that he shall take the odds
-Of his great name and estimation,
-And will, to save the blood on either side,
-Try fortune with him in a single fight.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-And, Prince of Wales, so dare we venture thee,
-Albeit considerations infinite
-Do make against it. No, good Worcester, no,
-We love our people well; even those we love
-That are misled upon your cousin's part;
-And, will they take the offer of our grace,
-Both he and they and you, every man
-Shall be my friend again and I'll be his:
-So tell your cousin, and bring me word
-What he will do: but if he will not yield,
-Rebuke and dread correction wait on us
-And they shall do their office. So, be gone;
-We will not now be troubled with reply:
-We offer fair; take it advisedly.
-

Exeunt WORCESTER and VERNON

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-It will not be accepted, on my life:
-The Douglas and the Hotspur both together
-Are confident against the world in arms.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Hence, therefore, every leader to his charge;
-For, on their answer, will we set on them:
-And God befriend us, as our cause is just!
-

Exeunt all but PRINCE HENRY and FALSTAFF

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Hal, if thou see me down in the battle and bestride
-me, so; 'tis a point of friendship.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Nothing but a colossus can do thee that friendship.
-Say thy prayers, and farewell.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-I would 'twere bed-time, Hal, and all well.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Why, thou owest God a death.
-

Exit PRINCE HENRY

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-'Tis not due yet; I would be loath to pay him before
-his day. What need I be so forward with him that
-calls not on me? Well, 'tis no matter; honour pricks
-me on. Yea, but how if honour prick me off when I
-come on? how then? Can honour set to a leg? no: or
-an arm? no: or take away the grief of a wound? no.
-Honour hath no skill in surgery, then? no. What is
-honour? a word. What is in that word honour? what
-is that honour? air. A trim reckoning! Who hath it?
-he that died o' Wednesday. Doth he feel it? no.
-Doth he hear it? no. 'Tis insensible, then. Yea,
-to the dead. But will it not live with the living?
-no. Why? detraction will not suffer it. Therefore
-I'll none of it. Honour is a mere scutcheon: and so
-ends my catechism.

SCENE II. The rebel camp.

-

-Enter WORCESTER and VERNON -
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-O, no, my nephew must not know, Sir Richard,
-The liberal and kind offer of the king.
-
- -VERNON -
-'Twere best he did.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-Then are we all undone.
-It is not possible, it cannot be,
-The king should keep his word in loving us;
-He will suspect us still and find a time
-To punish this offence in other faults:
-Suspicion all our lives shall be stuck full of eyes;
-For treason is but trusted like the fox,
-Who, ne'er so tame, so cherish'd and lock'd up,
-Will have a wild trick of his ancestors.
-Look how we can, or sad or merrily,
-Interpretation will misquote our looks,
-And we shall feed like oxen at a stall,
-The better cherish'd, still the nearer death.
-My nephew's trespass may be well forgot;
-it hath the excuse of youth and heat of blood,
-And an adopted name of privilege,
-A hair-brain'd Hotspur, govern'd by a spleen:
-All his offences live upon my head
-And on his father's; we did train him on,
-And, his corruption being ta'en from us,
-We, as the spring of all, shall pay for all.
-Therefore, good cousin, let not Harry know,
-In any case, the offer of the king.
-
- -VERNON -
-Deliver what you will; I'll say 'tis so.
-Here comes your cousin.
-

Enter HOTSPUR and DOUGLAS

-
- -HOTSPUR -
-My uncle is return'd:
-Deliver up my Lord of Westmoreland.
-Uncle, what news?
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-The king will bid you battle presently.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-Defy him by the Lord of Westmoreland.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Lord Douglas, go you and tell him so.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-Marry, and shall, and very willingly.
-

Exit

-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-There is no seeming mercy in the king.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Did you beg any? God forbid!
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-I told him gently of our grievances,
-Of his oath-breaking; which he mended thus,
-By now forswearing that he is forsworn:
-He calls us rebels, traitors; and will scourge
-With haughty arms this hateful name in us.
-

Re-enter the EARL OF DOUGLAS

-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-Arm, gentlemen; to arms! for I have thrown
-A brave defiance in King Henry's teeth,
-And Westmoreland, that was engaged, did bear it;
-Which cannot choose but bring him quickly on.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-The Prince of Wales stepp'd forth before the king,
-And, nephew, challenged you to single fight.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-O, would the quarrel lay upon our heads,
-And that no man might draw short breath today
-But I and Harry Monmouth! Tell me, tell me,
-How show'd his tasking? seem'd it in contempt?
-
- -VERNON -
-No, by my soul; I never in my life
-Did hear a challenge urged more modestly,
-Unless a brother should a brother dare
-To gentle exercise and proof of arms.
-He gave you all the duties of a man;
-Trimm'd up your praises with a princely tongue,
-Spoke to your deservings like a chronicle,
-Making you ever better than his praise
-By still dispraising praise valued in you;
-And, which became him like a prince indeed,
-He made a blushing cital of himself;
-And chid his truant youth with such a grace
-As if he master'd there a double spirit.
-Of teaching and of learning instantly.
-There did he pause: but let me tell the world,
-If he outlive the envy of this day,
-England did never owe so sweet a hope,
-So much misconstrued in his wantonness.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Cousin, I think thou art enamoured
-On his follies: never did I hear
-Of any prince so wild a libertine.
-But be he as he will, yet once ere night
-I will embrace him with a soldier's arm,
-That he shall shrink under my courtesy.
-Arm, arm with speed: and, fellows, soldiers, friends,
-Better consider what you have to do
-Than I, that have not well the gift of tongue,
-Can lift your blood up with persuasion.
-

Enter a Messenger

-
- -Messenger -
-My lord, here are letters for you.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I cannot read them now.
-O gentlemen, the time of life is short!
-To spend that shortness basely were too long,
-If life did ride upon a dial's point,
-Still ending at the arrival of an hour.
-An if we live, we live to tread on kings;
-If die, brave death, when princes die with us!
-Now, for our consciences, the arms are fair,
-When the intent of bearing them is just.
-

Enter another Messenger

-
- -Messenger -
-My lord, prepare; the king comes on apace.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I thank him, that he cuts me from my tale,
-For I profess not talking; only this--
-Let each man do his best: and here draw I
-A sword, whose temper I intend to stain
-With the best blood that I can meet withal
-In the adventure of this perilous day.
-Now, Esperance! Percy! and set on.
-Sound all the lofty instruments of war,
-And by that music let us all embrace;
-For, heaven to earth, some of us never shall
-A second time do such a courtesy.
-

The trumpets sound. They embrace, and exeunt

-
-

SCENE III. Plain between the camps.

-

-KING HENRY enters with his power. Alarum to the battle. Then enter DOUGLAS and SIR WALTER BLUNT -
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-What is thy name, that in the battle thus
-Thou crossest me? what honour dost thou seek
-Upon my head?
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
- Know then, my name is Douglas;
-And I do haunt thee in the battle thus
-Because some tell me that thou art a king.
-
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-They tell thee true.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-The Lord of Stafford dear to-day hath bought
-Thy likeness, for instead of thee, King Harry,
-This sword hath ended him: so shall it thee,
-Unless thou yield thee as my prisoner.
-
- -SIR WALTER BLUNT -
-I was not born a yielder, thou proud Scot;
-And thou shalt find a king that will revenge
-Lord Stafford's death.
-

They fight. DOUGLAS kills SIR WALTER BLUNT. Enter HOTSPUR

-
- -HOTSPUR -
-O Douglas, hadst thou fought at Holmedon thus,
-never had triumph'd upon a Scot.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-All's done, all's won; here breathless lies the king.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Where?
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-Here.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-This, Douglas? no: I know this face full well:
-A gallant knight he was, his name was Blunt;
-Semblably furnish'd like the king himself.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-A fool go with thy soul, whither it goes!
-A borrow'd title hast thou bought too dear:
-Why didst thou tell me that thou wert a king?
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-The king hath many marching in his coats.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-Now, by my sword, I will kill all his coats;
-I'll murder all his wardrobe, piece by piece,
-Until I meet the king.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Up, and away!
-Our soldiers stand full fairly for the day.
-

Exeunt

-

Alarum. Enter FALSTAFF, solus

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Though I could 'scape shot-free at London, I fear
-the shot here; here's no scoring but upon the pate.
-Soft! who are you? Sir Walter Blunt: there's honour
-for you! here's no vanity! I am as hot as moulten
-lead, and as heavy too: God keep lead out of me! I
-need no more weight than mine own bowels. I have
-led my ragamuffins where they are peppered: there's
-not three of my hundred and fifty left alive; and
-they are for the town's end, to beg during life.
-But who comes here?
-

Enter PRINCE HENRY

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What, stand'st thou idle here? lend me thy sword:
-Many a nobleman lies stark and stiff
-Under the hoofs of vaunting enemies,
-Whose deaths are yet unrevenged: I prithee,
-lend me thy sword.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-O Hal, I prithee, give me leave to breathe awhile.
-Turk Gregory never did such deeds in arms as I have
-done this day. I have paid Percy, I have made him sure.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-He is, indeed; and living to kill thee. I prithee,
-lend me thy sword.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Nay, before God, Hal, if Percy be alive, thou get'st
-not my sword; but take my pistol, if thou wilt.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Give it to me: what, is it in the case?
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Ay, Hal; 'tis hot, 'tis hot; there's that will sack a city.
-

PRINCE HENRY draws it out, and finds it to be a bottle of sack

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-What, is it a time to jest and dally now?
-

He throws the bottle at him. Exit

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Well, if Percy be alive, I'll pierce him. If he do
-come in my way, so: if he do not, if I come in his
-willingly, let him make a carbonado of me. I like
-not such grinning honour as Sir Walter hath: give me
-life: which if I can save, so; if not, honour comes
-unlooked for, and there's an end.
-

Exit FALSTAFF

-
-

SCENE IV. Another part of the field.

-

-Alarum. Excursions. Enter PRINCE HENRY, LORD JOHN OF LANCASTER, and EARL OF WESTMORELAND -
- -KING HENRY IV -
-I prithee,
-Harry, withdraw thyself; thou bleed'st too much.
-Lord John of Lancaster, go you with him.
-
- -LANCASTER -
-Not I, my lord, unless I did bleed too.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I beseech your majesty, make up,
-Lest your retirement do amaze your friends.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-I will do so.
-My Lord of Westmoreland, lead him to his tent.
-
- -WESTMORELAND -
-Come, my lord, I'll lead you to your tent.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Lead me, my lord? I do not need your help:
-And God forbid a shallow scratch should drive
-The Prince of Wales from such a field as this,
-Where stain'd nobility lies trodden on,
-and rebels' arms triumph in massacres!
-
- -LANCASTER -
-We breathe too long: come, cousin Westmoreland,
-Our duty this way lies; for God's sake come.
-

Exeunt LANCASTER and WESTMORELAND

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-By God, thou hast deceived me, Lancaster;
-I did not think thee lord of such a spirit:
-Before, I loved thee as a brother, John;
-But now, I do respect thee as my soul.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-I saw him hold Lord Percy at the point
-With lustier maintenance than I did look for
-Of such an ungrown warrior.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-O, this boy
-Lends mettle to us all!
-

Exit

-

Enter DOUGLAS

-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-Another king! they grow like Hydra's heads:
-I am the Douglas, fatal to all those
-That wear those colours on them: what art thou,
-That counterfeit'st the person of a king?
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-The king himself; who, Douglas, grieves at heart
-So many of his shadows thou hast met
-And not the very king. I have two boys
-Seek Percy and thyself about the field:
-But, seeing thou fall'st on me so luckily,
-I will assay thee: so, defend thyself.
-
- -EARL OF DOUGLAS -
-I fear thou art another counterfeit;
-And yet, in faith, thou bear'st thee like a king:
-But mine I am sure thou art, whoe'er thou be,
-And thus I win thee.
-

They fight. KING HENRY being in danger, PRINCE HENRY enters

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Hold up thy head, vile Scot, or thou art like
-Never to hold it up again! the spirits
-Of valiant Shirley, Stafford, Blunt, are in my arms:
-It is the Prince of Wales that threatens thee;
-Who never promiseth but he means to pay.
-

They fight: DOUGLAS flies

-Cheerly, my lord how fares your grace?
-Sir Nicholas Gawsey hath for succor sent,
-And so hath Clifton: I'll to Clifton straight.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Stay, and breathe awhile:
-Thou hast redeem'd thy lost opinion,
-And show'd thou makest some tender of my life,
-In this fair rescue thou hast brought to me.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-O God! they did me too much injury
-That ever said I hearken'd for your death.
-If it were so, I might have let alone
-The insulting hand of Douglas over you,
-Which would have been as speedy in your end
-As all the poisonous potions in the world
-And saved the treacherous labour of your son.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Make up to Clifton: I'll to Sir Nicholas Gawsey.
-

Exit

-

Enter HOTSPUR

-
- -HOTSPUR -
-If I mistake not, thou art Harry Monmouth.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Thou speak'st as if I would deny my name.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-My name is Harry Percy.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Why, then I see
-A very valiant rebel of the name.
-I am the Prince of Wales; and think not, Percy,
-To share with me in glory any more:
-Two stars keep not their motion in one sphere;
-Nor can one England brook a double reign,
-Of Harry Percy and the Prince of Wales.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-Nor shall it, Harry; for the hour is come
-To end the one of us; and would to God
-Thy name in arms were now as great as mine!
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I'll make it greater ere I part from thee;
-And all the budding honours on thy crest
-I'll crop, to make a garland for my head.
-
- -HOTSPUR -
-I can no longer brook thy vanities.
-

They fight

-

Enter FALSTAFF

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Well said, Hal! to it Hal! Nay, you shall find no
-boy's play here, I can tell you.
-

Re-enter DOUGLAS; he fights with FALSTAFF, who falls down as if he were dead, and exit DOUGLAS. HOTSPUR is wounded, and falls

-
- -HOTSPUR -
-O, Harry, thou hast robb'd me of my youth!
-I better brook the loss of brittle life
-Than those proud titles thou hast won of me;
-They wound my thoughts worse than sword my flesh:
-But thought's the slave of life, and life time's fool;
-And time, that takes survey of all the world,
-Must have a stop. O, I could prophesy,
-But that the earthy and cold hand of death
-Lies on my tongue: no, Percy, thou art dust
-And food for--
-

Dies

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-For worms, brave Percy: fare thee well, great heart!
-Ill-weaved ambition, how much art thou shrunk!
-When that this body did contain a spirit,
-A kingdom for it was too small a bound;
-But now two paces of the vilest earth
-Is room enough: this earth that bears thee dead
-Bears not alive so stout a gentleman.
-If thou wert sensible of courtesy,
-I should not make so dear a show of zeal:
-But let my favours hide thy mangled face;
-And, even in thy behalf, I'll thank myself
-For doing these fair rites of tenderness.
-Adieu, and take thy praise with thee to heaven!
-Thy ignominy sleep with thee in the grave,
-But not remember'd in thy epitaph!
-

He spieth FALSTAFF on the ground

-What, old acquaintance! could not all this flesh
-Keep in a little life? Poor Jack, farewell!
-I could have better spared a better man:
-O, I should have a heavy miss of thee,
-If I were much in love with vanity!
-Death hath not struck so fat a deer to-day,
-Though many dearer, in this bloody fray.
-Embowell'd will I see thee by and by:
-Till then in blood by noble Percy lie.
-

Exit PRINCE HENRY

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-[Rising up] Embowelled! if thou embowel me to-day,
-I'll give you leave to powder me and eat me too
-to-morrow. 'Sblood,'twas time to counterfeit, or
-that hot termagant Scot had paid me scot and lot too.
-Counterfeit? I lie, I am no counterfeit: to die,
-is to be a counterfeit; for he is but the
-counterfeit of a man who hath not the life of a man:
-but to counterfeit dying, when a man thereby
-liveth, is to be no counterfeit, but the true and
-perfect image of life indeed. The better part of
-valour is discretion; in the which better part I
-have saved my life.'Zounds, I am afraid of this
-gunpowder Percy, though he be dead: how, if he
-should counterfeit too and rise? by my faith, I am
-afraid he would prove the better counterfeit.
-Therefore I'll make him sure; yea, and I'll swear I
-killed him. Why may not he rise as well as I?
-Nothing confutes me but eyes, and nobody sees me.
-Therefore, sirrah,
-

Stabbing him

-with a new wound in your thigh, come you along with me.
-

Takes up HOTSPUR on his back

-

Re-enter PRINCE HENRY and LORD JOHN OF LANCASTER

-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Come, brother John; full bravely hast thou flesh'd
-Thy maiden sword.
-
- -LANCASTER -
- But, soft! whom have we here?
-Did you not tell me this fat man was dead?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-I did; I saw him dead,
-Breathless and bleeding on the ground. Art
-thou alive?
-Or is it fantasy that plays upon our eyesight?
-I prithee, speak; we will not trust our eyes
-Without our ears: thou art not what thou seem'st.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-No, that's certain; I am not a double man: but if I
-be not Jack Falstaff, then am I a Jack. There is Percy:
-

Throwing the body down

-if your father will do me any honour, so; if not, let
-him kill the next Percy himself. I look to be either
-earl or duke, I can assure you.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Why, Percy I killed myself and saw thee dead.
-
- -FALSTAFF -
-Didst thou? Lord, Lord, how this world is given to
-lying! I grant you I was down and out of breath;
-and so was he: but we rose both at an instant and
-fought a long hour by Shrewsbury clock. If I may be
-believed, so; if not, let them that should reward
-valour bear the sin upon their own heads. I'll take
-it upon my death, I gave him this wound in the
-thigh: if the man were alive and would deny it,
-'zounds, I would make him eat a piece of my sword.
-
- -LANCASTER -
-This is the strangest tale that ever I heard.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-This is the strangest fellow, brother John.
-Come, bring your luggage nobly on your back:
-For my part, if a lie may do thee grace,
-I'll gild it with the happiest terms I have.
-

A retreat is sounded

-The trumpet sounds retreat; the day is ours.
-Come, brother, let us to the highest of the field,
-To see what friends are living, who are dead.
-

Exeunt PRINCE HENRY and LANCASTER

-
- -FALSTAFF -
-I'll follow, as they say, for reward. He that
-rewards me, God reward him! If I do grow great,
-I'll grow less; for I'll purge, and leave sack, and
-live cleanly as a nobleman should do.
-

Exit

-
-

SCENE V. Another part of the field.

-

-The trumpets sound. Enter KING HENRY IV, PRINCE HENRY, LORD JOHN LANCASTER, EARL OF WESTMORELAND, with WORCESTER and VERNON prisoners -
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke.
-Ill-spirited Worcester! did not we send grace,
-Pardon and terms of love to all of you?
-And wouldst thou turn our offers contrary?
-Misuse the tenor of thy kinsman's trust?
-Three knights upon our party slain to-day,
-A noble earl and many a creature else
-Had been alive this hour,
-If like a Christian thou hadst truly borne
-Betwixt our armies true intelligence.
-
- -EARL OF WORCESTER -
-What I have done my safety urged me to;
-And I embrace this fortune patiently,
-Since not to be avoided it falls on me.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Bear Worcester to the death and Vernon too:
-Other offenders we will pause upon.
-

Exeunt WORCESTER and VERNON, guarded

-How goes the field?
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-The noble Scot, Lord Douglas, when he saw
-The fortune of the day quite turn'd from him,
-The noble Percy slain, and all his men
-Upon the foot of fear, fled with the rest;
-And falling from a hill, he was so bruised
-That the pursuers took him. At my tent
-The Douglas is; and I beseech your grace
-I may dispose of him.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-With all my heart.
-
- -PRINCE HENRY -
-Then, brother John of Lancaster, to you
-This honourable bounty shall belong:
-Go to the Douglas, and deliver him
-Up to his pleasure, ransomless and free:
-His valour shown upon our crests to-day
-Hath taught us how to cherish such high deeds
-Even in the bosom of our adversaries.
-
- -LANCASTER -
-I thank your grace for this high courtesy,
-Which I shall give away immediately.
-
- -KING HENRY IV -
-Then this remains, that we divide our power.
-You, son John, and my cousin Westmoreland
-Towards York shall bend you with your dearest speed,
-To meet Northumberland and the prelate Scroop,
-Who, as we hear, are busily in arms:
-Myself and you, son Harry, will towards Wales,
-To fight with Glendower and the Earl of March.
-Rebellion in this land shall lose his sway,
-Meeting the cheque of such another day:
-And since this business so fair is done,
-Let us not leave till all our own be won.

SCENE II. The Mart.

-Teach me, dear creature, how to think and speak;

-Against my soul's pure truth why labour you

-Nor to her bed no homage do I owe
-Far more, far more to you do I decline.

-My liege, I am advised what I say,
-Neither disturbed with the effect of wine,
-Nor heady-rash, provoked with raging ire,
-Albeit my wrongs might make one wiser mad.
-This woman lock'd me out this day from dinner:
-That goldsmith there, were he not pack'd with her,
-Could witness it, for he was with me then;
-Who parted with me to go fetch a chain,
-Promising to bring it to the Porpentine,
-Where Balthazar and I did dine together.
-Our dinner done, and he not coming thither,
-I went to seek him: in the street I met him
-And in his company that gentleman.
-There did this perjured goldsmith swear me down
-That I this day of him received the chain,
-Which, God he knows, I saw not: for the which
-He did arrest me with an officer.
-I did obey, and sent my peasant home
-For certain ducats: he with none return'd
-Then fairly I bespoke the officer
-To go in person with me to my house.
-By the way we met
-My wife, her sister, and a rabble more
-Of vile confederates. Along with them
-They brought one Pinch, a hungry lean-faced villain,
-A mere anatomy, a mountebank,
-A threadbare juggler and a fortune-teller,
-A needy, hollow-eyed, sharp-looking wretch,
-A dead-looking man: this pernicious slave,
-Forsooth, took on him as a conjurer,
-And, gazing in mine eyes, feeling my pulse,
-And with no face, as 'twere, outfacing me,
-Cries out, I was possess'd. Then all together
-They fell upon me, bound me, bore me thence
-And in a dark and dankish vault at home
-There left me and my man, both bound together;
-Till, gnawing with my teeth my bonds in sunder,
-I gain'd my freedom, and immediately
-Ran hither to your grace; whom I beseech
-To give me ample satisfaction
-For these deep shames and great indignities.

KING RICHARD III
-Give me another horse: bind up my wounds.
-Have mercy, Jesu!--Soft! I did but dream.
-O coward conscience, how dost thou afflict me!
-The lights burn blue. It is now dead midnight.

-Alack. I love myself. Wherefore? for any good
-That I myself have done unto myself?
-O, no! alas, I rather hate myself
-For hateful deeds committed by myself!
-I am a villain: yet I lie. I am not.
-Fool, of thyself speak well: fool, do not flatter.
-My conscience hath a thousand several tongues,
-And every tongue brings in a several tale,
-And every tale condemns me for a villain.

-Nay, wherefore should they, since that I myself
-Find in myself no pity to myself?
-Methought the souls of all that I had murder'd
-Came to my tent; and every one did threat
-To-morrow's vengeance on the head of Richard.

His oration to his soldiers

-More than I have said, loving countrymen,
-The leisure and enforcement of the time
-Forbids to dwell upon: yet remember this,

-The prayers of holy saints and wronged souls,
-Like high-rear'd bulwarks, stand before our faces;
-Richard except, those whom we fight against
-Had rather have us win than him they follow:
-For what is he they follow? truly, gentlemen,
-A bloody tyrant and a homicide;
-One raised in blood, and one in blood establish'd;
-One that made means to come by what he hath,
-And slaughter'd those that were the means to help him;
-Abase foul stone, made precious by the foil
-Of England's chair, where he is falsely set;
-One that hath ever been God's enemy:
-Then, if you fight against God's enemy,
-God will in justice ward you as his soldiers;
-If you do sweat to put a tyrant down,
-You sleep in peace, the tyrant being slain;
-If you do fight against your country's foes,
-Your country's fat shall pay your pains the hire;
-If you do fight in safeguard of your wives,
-Your wives shall welcome home the conquerors;
-If you do free your children from the sword,
-Your children's children quit it in your age.
-Then, in the name of God and all these rights,
-Advance your standards, draw your willing swords.
-For me, the ransom of my bold attempt
-Shall be this cold corpse on the earth's cold face;
-But if I thrive, the gain of my attempt
-The least of you shall share his part thereof.
-Sound drums and trumpets boldly and cheerfully;
-God and Saint George! Richmond and victory!

-A scum of Bretons, and base lackey peasants,
-Whom their o'er-cloyed country vomits forth

-You sleeping safe, they bring to you unrest;
-You having lands, and blest with beauteous wives,
-They would restrain the one, distain the other.
-And who doth lead them but a paltry fellow,
-Long kept in Bretagne at our mother's cost?
-A milk-sop, one that never in his life
-Felt so much cold as over shoes in snow?
-Let's whip these stragglers o'er the seas again;
-Lash hence these overweening rags of France,
-These famish'd beggars, weary of their lives;
-Who, but for dreaming on this fond exploit,
-For want of means, poor rats, had hang'd themselves:
-If we be conquer'd, let men conquer us,
-And not these bastard Bretons; whom our fathers
-Have in their own land beaten, bobb'd, and thump'd,
-And in record, left them the heirs of shame.
-Shall these enjoy our lands? lie with our wives?
-Ravish our daughters?
