  KING HENRY THE FOURTH Part 1
  SCENE I。 London。 The Palace。
  Enter   the   King;   Lord   John   of   Lancaster;   Earl   of   Westmoreland;   'Sir
  Walter Blunt;' with others。
  King。   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 commenc'd in stronds afar remote。 No more the thirsty entrance of this
  soil   Shall   daub   her   lips   with   her   own   children's   blood。   No   more   shall
  trenching war channel her fields; Nor Bruise her flow'rets 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 oppos'd
  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 engag'd to fight… Forthwith a power of English shall
  we   levy;   Whose   arms   were   moulded   in   their   mother's   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  twelvemonth       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。  West。   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。   It   seems   then   that   the
  tidings of this broil Brake off our business for the Holy Land。 West。 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。 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 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? West。 In faith; It is a conquest
  for a prince to boast of。 King。 Yea; there thou mak'st me sad; and mak'st
  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   prov'd   That   some   night…
  tripping fairy had exchang'd 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
  surpris'd To his own use he keeps; and sends me word I shall have none
  but Mordake Earl of Fife。 West。 This is his uncle's teaching; this Worcester;
  Malevolent   to   you   In   all   aspects;   Which   makes   him   prune   himself   and
  bristle up The crest of youth against your dignity。 King。 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。 West。 I will my liege。 Exeunt。

  SCENE II。 London。 An apartment of the Prince's。
  Enter Prince of Wales and Sir John Falstaff。
  Fal。 Now;  Hal;  what time   of   day  is it; lad?   Prince。 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 wouldest 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。 Fal。 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
  wand'ring 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。 What; none? Fal。 No; by my troth; not so much as will serve to be
  prologue   to   an   egg   and   butter。   Prince。   Well;   how   then?   Come;   roundly;
  roundly。 Fal。 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
