  Prince。   'aside   to   Poins'   Ned;   where   are   our   disguises?   Poins。   'aside   to
  Prince' Here; hard by。 Stand close。 'Exeunt Prince and Poins。' Fal。 Now;
  my masters; happy man be his dole; say I。 Every man to his business。
  Enter the Travellers。
  Traveller。 Come; neighbour。 The boy shall lead our horses down the
  hill; We'll walk afoot awhile and ease our legs。 Thieves。 Stand! Traveller。
  Jesus bless us! Fal。 Strike! down with them! cut the villains' throats! Ah;
  whoreson caterpillars! bacon…fed knaves! they hate us youth。 Down with
  them! fleece them! Traveller。 O; we are undone; both we and ours for ever!
  Fal。 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 grandjurors; are ye? We'll jure ye; faith! Here they rob and
  bind them。 Exeunt。
  Enter the Prince and Poins 'in buckram suits'。
  Prince。 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。 'They stand aside。'
  Enter the Thieves again。
  Fal。 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。
  'As they are sharing; the Prince and Poins set upon them。 THey all
  run away; and   Falstaff; after a blow or two; runs awasy  too; leaving the
  booty behind them。'
  Prince。 Your money! Poins。 Villains!
  Prince。 Got with much ease。 Now merrily to horse。 The thieves are
  scattered; 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。
  Hot。 '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 the
  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 his Lady。
  How now; Kate? I must leave you within these two hours。 Lady。  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
  32

  KING HENRY THE FOURTH Part 1
  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…ey'd musing and curs'd
  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; tent; 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   ill   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。 Hot。 What;
  ho!
  'Enter a Servant。'
  Is Gilliams with the packet gone? Serv。 He is; my lord; an hour ago。
  Hot。 Hath Butler brought those horses from the sheriff? Serv。 One horse;
  my lord; he brought even now。 Hot。 What horse? A roan; a crop…ear; is it
  not? Serv。 It is; my lord。 Hot。 That roan shall be my throne。 Well; I will
  back him straight。 O esperance! Bid Butler lead him forth into the park。
  'Exit   Servant。'   Lady。   But   hear   you;   my  lord。   Hot。 What   say'st   thou;   my
  lady? Lady。 What is it carries you away? Hot。 Why; my horse; my love…
  my horse! Lady。 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… Hot。 So far afoot; I shall
  be   weary;   love。   Lady。   Come;   come;   you   paraquito;   answer   me   Directly
  unto this question that I ask。 I'll break thy little finger; Harry; An if thou
  wilt not tell my all things true。 Hot。 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。 Gods me; my horse! What say'st thou; Kate? What
  wouldst thou have with me? Lady。 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。 Hot。 Come; wilt
  thou   see   me   ride? And   when   I   am  a…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。 How? so far? Hot。 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。 It must of force。 Exeunt。
