1 |
Where is my gracious Lord of Canterbury? |
|
2 |
Send for him, good uncle. |
|
3 |
Not yet, my cousin: we would be resolved,
|
|
4 |
Sure, we thank you.
|
|
5 |
May I with right and conscience make this claim? |
|
6 |
We must not only arm to invade the French,
|
|
7 |
We do not mean the coursing snatchers only,
|
|
8 |
Call in the messengers sent from the Dauphin.
|
|
9 |
We are no tyrant, but a Christian king;
|
|
10 |
What treasure, uncle? |
|
11 |
We are glad the Dauphin is so pleasant with us;
|
|
12 |
We hope to make the sender blush at it.
|
|
13 |
Now sits the wind fair, and we will aboard.
|
|
14 |
I doubt not that; since we are well persuaded
|
|
15 |
We therefore have great cause of thankfulness;
|
|
16 |
We judge no less. Uncle of Exeter,
|
|
17 |
O, let us yet be merciful. |
|
18 |
Alas, your too much love and care of me
|
|
19 |
Then, Richard Earl of Cambridge, there is yours;
|
|
20 |
The mercy that was quick in us but late,
|
|
21 |
God quit you in his mercy! Hear your sentence.
|
|
22 |
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
|
|
23 |
How yet resolves the governor of the town?
|
|
24 |
Open your gates. Come, uncle Exeter,
|
|
25 |
How now, Fluellen! camest thou from the bridge? |
|
26 |
What men have you lost, Fluellen? |
|
27 |
We would have all such offenders so cut off: and we
|
|
28 |
Well then I know thee: what shall I know of thee? |
|
29 |
Unfold it. |
|
30 |
What is thy name? I know thy quality. |
|
31 |
Thou dost thy office fairly. Turn thee back.
|
|
32 |
We are in God's hand, brother, not in theirs.
|
|
33 |
Gloucester, 'tis true that we are in great danger;
|
|
34 |
'Tis good for men to love their present pains
|
|
35 |
No, my good knight;
|
|
36 |
God-a-mercy, old heart! thou speak'st cheerfully. |
|
37 |
A friend. |
|
38 |
I am a gentleman of a company. |
|
39 |
Even so. What are you? |
|
40 |
Then you are a better than the king. |
|
41 |
Harry le Roy. |
|
42 |
No, I am a Welshman. |
|
43 |
Yes. |
|
44 |
Do not you wear your dagger in your cap that day,
|
|
45 |
And his kinsman too. |
|
46 |
I thank you: God be with you! |
|
47 |
It sorts well with your fierceness. |
|
48 |
Though it appear a little out of fashion,
|
|
49 |
A friend. |
|
50 |
Under Sir Thomas Erpingham. |
|
51 |
Even as men wrecked upon a sand, that look to be
|
|
52 |
No; nor it is not meet he should. For, though I
|
|
53 |
By my troth, I will speak my conscience of the king:
|
|
54 |
I dare say you love him not so ill, to wish him here
|
|
55 |
So, if a son that is by his father sent about
|
|
56 |
I myself heard the king say he would not be ransomed. |
|
57 |
If I live to see it, I will never trust his word after. |
|
58 |
Your reproof is something too round: I should be
|
|
59 |
I embrace it. |
|
60 |
Give me any gage of thine, and I will wear it in my
|
|
61 |
There. |
|
62 |
If ever I live to see it, I will challenge it. |
|
63 |
Well. I will do it, though I take thee in the
|
|
64 |
Indeed, the French may lay twenty French crowns to
|
|
65 |
Good old knight,
|
|
66 |
O God of battles! steel my soldiers' hearts;
|
|
67 |
My brother Gloucester's voice? Ay;
|
|
68 |
What's he that wishes so?
|
|
69 |
All things are ready, if our minds be so. |
|
70 |
Thou dost not wish more help from England, coz? |
|
71 |
Why, now thou hast unwish'd five thousand men;
|
|
72 |
Who hath sent thee now? |
|
73 |
I pray thee, bear my former answer back:
|
|
74 |
I fear thou'lt once more come again for ransom. |
|
75 |
Take it, brave York. Now, soldiers, march away:
|
|
76 |
Well have we done, thrice valiant countrymen:
|
|
77 |
Lives he, good uncle? thrice within this hour
|
|
78 |
I blame you not;
|
|
79 |
I was not angry since I came to France
|
|
80 |
How now! what means this, herald? know'st thou not
|
|
81 |
I tell thee truly, herald,
|
|
82 |
Praised be God, and not our strength, for it!
|
|
83 |
Then call we this the field of Agincourt,
|
|
84 |
They did, Fluellen. |
|
85 |
I wear it for a memorable honour;
|
|
86 |
Thanks, good my countryman. |
|
87 |
God keep me so! Our heralds go with him:
|
|
88 |
Soldier, why wearest thou that glove in thy cap? |
|
89 |
An Englishman? |
|
90 |
What think you, Captain Fluellen? is it fit this
|
|
91 |
It may be his enemy is a gentleman of great sort,
|
|
92 |
Then keep thy vow, sirrah, when thou meetest the fellow. |
|
93 |
Who servest thou under? |
|
94 |
Call him hither to me, soldier. |
|
95 |
Here, Fluellen; wear thou this favour for me and
|
|
96 |
Knowest thou Gower? |
|
97 |
Pray thee, go seek him, and bring him to my tent. |
|
98 |
My Lord of Warwick, and my brother Gloucester,
|
|
99 |
How now! what's the matter? |
|
100 |
Give me thy glove, soldier: look, here is the
|
|
101 |
How canst thou make me satisfaction? |
|
102 |
It was ourself thou didst abuse. |
|
103 |
Here, uncle Exeter, fill this glove with crowns,
|
|
104 |
Now, herald, are the dead number'd? |
|
105 |
What prisoners of good sort are taken, uncle? |
|
106 |
This note doth tell me of ten thousand French
|
|
107 |
Come, go we in procession to the village.
|
|
108 |
Yes, captain; but with this acknowledgement,
|
|
109 |
Do we all holy rites;
|
|
110 |
Peace to this meeting, wherefore we are met!
|
|
111 |
To cry amen to that, thus we appear. |
|
112 |
If, Duke of Burgundy, you would the peace,
|
|
113 |
Well then the peace,
|
|
114 |
Brother, we shall. Go, uncle Exeter,
|
|
115 |
Yet leave our cousin Katharine here with us:
|
|
116 |
Fair Katharine, and most fair,
|
|
117 |
O fair Katharine, if you will love me soundly with
|
|
118 |
An angel is like you, Kate, and you are like an angel. |
|
119 |
I said so, dear Katharine; and I must not blush to
|
|
120 |
What says she, fair one? that the tongues of men
|
|
121 |
The princess is the better Englishwoman. I' faith,
|
|
122 |
Marry, if you would put me to verses or to dance for
|
|
123 |
No; it is not possible you should love the enemy of
|
|
124 |
No, Kate? I will tell thee in French; which I am
|
|
125 |
No, faith, is't not, Kate: but thy speaking of my
|
|
126 |
Can any of your neighbours tell, Kate? I'll ask
|
|
127 |
No; 'tis hereafter to know, but now to promise: do
|
|
128 |
Now, fie upon my false French! By mine honour, in
|
|
129 |
Nay, it will please him well, Kate it shall please
|
|
130 |
Upon that I kiss your hand, and I call you my queen. |
|
131 |
Then I will kiss your lips, Kate. |
|
132 |
Madam my interpreter, what says she? |
|
133 |
To kiss. |
|
134 |
It is not a fashion for the maids in France to kiss
|
|
135 |
O Kate, nice customs curtsy to great kings. Dear
|
|
136 |
I would have her learn, my fair cousin, how
|
|
137 |
Our tongue is rough, coz, and my condition is not
|
|
138 |
Yet they do wink and yield, as love is blind and enforces. |
|
139 |
Then, good my lord, teach your cousin to consent winking. |
|
140 |
This moral ties me over to time and a hot summer;
|
|
141 |
It is so: and you may, some of you, thank love for
|
|
142 |
Shall Kate be my wife? |
|
143 |
I am content; so the maiden cities you talk of may
|
|
144 |
Is't so, my lords of England? |
|
145 |
I pray you then, in love and dear alliance,
|
|
146 |
Now, welcome, Kate: and bear me witness all,
|
|
147 |
Prepare we for our marriage—on which day,
|
