1 |
My liege, I did deny no prisoners.
|
|
2 |
Revolted Mortimer!
|
|
3 |
An if the devil come and roar for them,
|
|
4 |
Speak of Mortimer!
|
|
5 |
He will, forsooth, have all my prisoners;
|
|
6 |
But soft, I pray you; did King Richard then
|
|
7 |
Nay, then I cannot blame his cousin king,
|
|
8 |
If he fall in, good night! or sink or swim:
|
|
9 |
By heaven, methinks it were an easy leap,
|
|
10 |
I cry you mercy. |
|
11 |
I'll keep them all;
|
|
12 |
Nay, I will; that's flat:
|
|
13 |
All studies here I solemnly defy,
|
|
14 |
Why, look you, I am whipp'd and scourged with rods,
|
|
15 |
You say true:
|
|
16 |
I have done, i' faith. |
|
17 |
Of York, is it not? |
|
18 |
I smell it: upon my life, it will do well. |
|
19 |
Why, it cannot choose but be a noble plot;
|
|
20 |
In faith, it is exceedingly well aim'd. |
|
21 |
He does, he does: we'll be revenged on him. |
|
22 |
Uncle, Adieu: O, let the hours be short
|
|
23 |
'But for mine own part, my lord, I could be well
|
|
24 |
What, ho!
|
|
25 |
Hath Butler brought those horses from the sheriff? |
|
26 |
What horse? a roan, a crop-ear, is it not? |
|
27 |
That roan shall by my throne.
|
|
28 |
What say'st thou, my lady? |
|
29 |
Why, my horse, my love, my horse. |
|
30 |
So far afoot, I shall be weary, love. |
|
31 |
Away,
|
|
32 |
Come, wilt thou see me ride?
|
|
33 |
Not an inch further. But hark you, Kate:
|
|
34 |
Lord Mortimer, and cousin Glendower,
|
|
35 |
And you in hell, as oft as he hears Owen Glendower spoke of. |
|
36 |
Why, so it would have done at the same season, if
|
|
37 |
And I say the earth was not of my mind,
|
|
38 |
O, then the earth shook to see the heavens on fire,
|
|
39 |
I think there's no man speaks better Welsh.
|
|
40 |
Why, so can I, or so can any man;
|
|
41 |
And I can teach thee, coz, to shame the devil
|
|
42 |
Home without boots, and in foul weather too!
|
|
43 |
Methinks my moiety, north from Burton here,
|
|
44 |
I'll have it so: a little charge will do it. |
|
45 |
Will not you? |
|
46 |
Who shall say me nay? |
|
47 |
Let me not understand you, then; speak it in Welsh. |
|
48 |
Marry,
|
|
49 |
I do not care: I'll give thrice so much land
|
|
50 |
I cannot choose: sometime he angers me
|
|
51 |
Well, I am school'd: good manners be your speed!
|
|
52 |
Come, Kate, thou art perfect in lying down: come,
|
|
53 |
Now I perceive the devil understands Welsh;
|
|
54 |
I had rather hear Lady, my brach, howl in Irish. |
|
55 |
No. |
|
56 |
Neither;'tis a woman's fault. |
|
57 |
To the Welsh lady's bed. |
|
58 |
Peace! she sings. |
|
59 |
Come, Kate, I'll have your song too. |
|
60 |
Not yours, in good sooth! Heart! you swear like a
|
|
61 |
'Tis the next way to turn tailor, or be red-breast
|
|
62 |
Well said, my noble Scot: if speaking truth
|
|
63 |
Do so, and 'tis well.
|
|
64 |
Letters from him! why comes he not himself? |
|
65 |
'Zounds! how has he the leisure to be sick
|
|
66 |
Sick now! droop now! this sickness doth infect
|
|
67 |
A perilous gash, a very limb lopp'd off:
|
|
68 |
A rendezvous, a home to fly unto.
|
|
69 |
You strain too far.
|
|
70 |
My cousin Vernon, welcome, by my soul. |
|
71 |
No harm: what more? |
|
72 |
He shall be welcome too. Where is his son,
|
|
73 |
No more, no more: worse than the sun in March,
|
|
74 |
What may the king's whole battle reach unto? |
|
75 |
Forty let it be:
|
|
76 |
We'll fight with him to-night. |
|
77 |
Why say you so? looks he not for supply? |
|
78 |
His is certain, ours is doubtful. |
|
79 |
To-night, say I. |
|
80 |
So are the horses of the enemy
|
|
81 |
Welcome, Sir Walter Blunt; and would to God
|
|
82 |
The king is kind; and well we know the king
|
|
83 |
Then to the point.
|
|
84 |
Not so, Sir Walter: we'll withdraw awhile.
|
|
85 |
And may be so we shall. |
|
86 |
My uncle is return'd:
|
|
87 |
Lord Douglas, go you and tell him so. |
|
88 |
Did you beg any? God forbid! |
|
89 |
O, would the quarrel lay upon our heads,
|
|
90 |
Cousin, I think thou art enamoured
|
|
91 |
I cannot read them now.
|
|
92 |
I thank him, that he cuts me from my tale,
|
|
93 |
O Douglas, hadst thou fought at Holmedon thus,
|
|
94 |
Where? |
|
95 |
This, Douglas? no: I know this face full well:
|
|
96 |
The king hath many marching in his coats. |
|
97 |
Up, and away!
|
|
98 |
If I mistake not, thou art Harry Monmouth. |
|
99 |
My name is Harry Percy. |
|
100 |
Nor shall it, Harry; for the hour is come
|
|
101 |
I can no longer brook thy vanities. |
|
102 |
O, Harry, thou hast robb'd me of my youth!
