WEBVTT

00:01:52.706 --> 00:02:00.588
- short-winded accents of new broils to be commenced in strands afar remote. No more the first entrance

00:02:00.588 --> 00:02:08.315
- of this soil shall daub her lips with her own children's blood. No more shall trenching war channel

00:02:08.315 --> 00:02:16.429
- her fields, nor bruise her flowerets with the armoured hoofs of hostile paces. Those opposed eyes which,

00:02:16.429 --> 00:02:22.302
- like the meteors of a troubled heaven, all of one nature, of one substance,

00:02:22.434 --> 00:02:30.464
- did lately meet in the intestine shock and furious close of civil butchery, shall now in mutual

00:02:30.464 --> 00:02:39.079
- well-beseeming ranks march all one way. The edge of war, like an ill sheathed knife, no more shall cut

00:02:39.079 --> 00:02:48.030
- his master. Therefore, friend, as far as to the sepulcher of Christ, whose soldier now under whose blessed

00:02:48.030 --> 00:02:51.710
- cross we are in precedent engaged to fight,

00:02:52.322 --> 00:02:59.322
- forthwith a force of English shall we levy to chase those pagans from these holy fields, over these

00:02:59.322 --> 00:03:06.322
- acres, walk those blessed feet, which, fourteen hundred years ago, were nailed for our advantage on

00:03:06.322 --> 00:03:13.462
- the bitter cross. But this our purpose now is twelve months old, and bootless tis to say that we will

00:03:13.462 --> 00:03:21.022
- go, and therefore we meet not now. Then let me hear of you, my gentle cousin Westmoreland, what yesternight

00:03:21.022 --> 00:03:22.142
- our counsel did

00:03:22.530 --> 00:03:29.153
- in forwarding this dead expedience. My leads, this haste was hot in question, and many missions of the

00:03:29.153 --> 00:03:35.711
- charge laid down by yesterday night. But all afore to there came a post from Wales, loaded with heavy

00:03:35.711 --> 00:03:42.141
- news, whose worst was that the noble Mortimer, leading the men of Herfordshire to fight against the

00:03:42.141 --> 00:03:49.278
- irregular and wild Glendower, was by the rude hands of that Welshman taken. A thousand of his people butchered

00:03:49.954 --> 00:03:56.952
- upon whose dead corpse there was such misuse, such shameless beastly transformation by those Welsh women

00:03:56.952 --> 00:04:03.816
- done as may not be without but shame told or reported of. It seems then that the tidings of this broil

00:04:03.816 --> 00:04:10.681
- break off our business for the Holy Land. This with others did, my lord, for there was more uneven and

00:04:10.681 --> 00:04:17.545
- unwelcome news came from the north. On Holy Root Day, the gallant hotspur there, young Harry Percy and

00:04:17.545 --> 00:04:18.878
- the brave Archibald

00:04:19.394 --> 00:04:26.653
- ever valiant and approv'd Scott at Holmden met, and there did spend a sad and bloody hour, as by the

00:04:26.653 --> 00:04:33.984
- discharge of their artillery and the shape of likelihood news was told, for he that brought it in the

00:04:33.984 --> 00:04:41.459
- very heat and pride of their contention did take horse, uncertain of the issue anyway. We have it true,

00:04:41.459 --> 00:04:48.862
- a dear industrious friend, Sir Walter Blunt, new-lighted from his horse, stained with the variation of

00:04:48.962 --> 00:04:57.544
- every soil betwixt that Holndon and this seat of ours, and he hath brought us smooth and welcome means.

00:04:57.544 --> 00:05:05.961
- The Earl of Douglas is discomforted. Ten thousand bold Scots, two and twenty knights, balked in their

00:05:05.961 --> 00:05:14.378
- bloodsauce of Walter on Holndon's plains. Of prisoners, Hotspur took Mordek, Earl of Fife, the eldest

00:05:14.378 --> 00:05:18.174
- son to Beaton Douglas, and the Earl of Athol,

00:05:18.818 --> 00:05:29.952
- Murray, Angus, and Menteith, is this not a glorious spoil? An honorable prize? Is it not, guys? In faith

00:05:29.952 --> 00:05:40.557
- it is a conquest for a prince to boast of. There thou makes me sad and makes me sin and envy of thy

00:05:40.557 --> 00:05:48.510
- lord Northumberland, that he should be the father to so blest a son, a son

00:05:49.794 --> 00:05:57.721
- theme of honor's tongue, amongst a grove of very straightest plant, who is sweet fortune's minion and

00:05:57.721 --> 00:06:05.493
- her pride, whilst I, by looking on the praise of him, see riot and dishonest stay in the brow of my

00:06:05.493 --> 00:06:13.264
- young Harry. Oh, that it could be proved that some night tripping the fairy had exchanged in cradle

00:06:13.264 --> 00:06:14.974
- clothes our children.

00:06:28.162 --> 00:06:34.739
- What think you cause of this young Percy's pride? The pizners he in this adventure hath surprised to

00:06:34.739 --> 00:06:41.447
- his own use he keeps, and sends me word I shall have none but Morde, girl of life. This is his uncle's

00:06:41.447 --> 00:06:48.284
- teaching. This is Worcester, malevolent to you in all aspects, which makes him prune himself and bristle

00:06:48.284 --> 00:06:50.238
- up the crest of youth against

00:06:52.578 --> 00:06:59.077
- But we have sent for him to answer this, and for this cause, while we must neglect our holy purpose

00:06:59.077 --> 00:07:05.837
- to Jerusalem. Cousin, on Wednesday next, our council we shall hold at Westminster, so inform the lords.

00:07:05.837 --> 00:07:12.466
- But come yourself with speed to us again, for more is to be said and to be done than out of anger can

00:07:12.466 --> 00:07:13.246
- be uttered.

00:09:29.218 --> 00:09:36.004
- has thou to do with the time of the day, unless hours were cups of sack, and minutes capers, and clocks

00:09:36.004 --> 00:09:42.593
- the tongues of bards, and dials the signs of leaping houses, and the blessed sun himself, a fair hot

00:09:42.593 --> 00:09:49.379
- wench, and flame-coloured tapir. I see no reason why thou shouldst be so superfluous to demand the time

00:09:49.379 --> 00:09:56.230
- of the day. Indeed, you come nearer to me now, Hal. For we that take purses go by the moon and the seven

00:09:56.230 --> 00:09:59.166
- stars, not Phibis, he that wandering knight.

00:09:59.298 --> 00:10:09.128
- So fair. But I prithee, sweet wag, when thou art a king, as God grace, grant thy grace, or majesty,

00:10:09.128 --> 00:10:19.055
- or grace, thou wilt have none. What? None? No, by my prose, but not so much as to serve as a prolong

00:10:19.055 --> 00:10:27.902
- to an egg in butter. Well, how then? Come, roundly. Roundly. Well, marry then, sweet wag.

00:10:29.698 --> 00:10:38.414
- Now our king, let not us that our squires of the night's body be called thieves of the day's beauty.

00:10:38.414 --> 00:10:47.217
- Let us be dianas, foresters, gentlemen of the shade, minions of the moon. And let men say that we are

00:10:47.217 --> 00:10:56.019
- men of good government, governed as the sea is by our noble and chaste mistress the moon. Under whose

00:10:56.019 --> 00:10:57.918
- countenance we steal?

00:11:05.378 --> 00:11:11.905
- and it holds well, too, for the fortunes of us that are the moon's mendeth ebb and flow like the sea,

00:11:11.905 --> 00:11:18.368
- being governed as the sea is by the moon. The purse of gold most resolutely snatched Monday night is

00:11:18.368 --> 00:11:24.831
- most dissolute spent Tuesday morning. Now in as low an ebb as the foot of the ladder, and rime by in

00:11:24.831 --> 00:11:31.358
- as high a flow as the ridge of the gallows. By the law thou speakest true land. But is not my hostess

00:11:31.358 --> 00:11:33.534
- of the tavern a most sweet wench?

00:11:34.050 --> 00:11:40.449
- I am Pabla, my old lad of the castle, and is not a buffed jerk in a most sweet robe of Durrance.

00:11:40.449 --> 00:11:47.111
- How now? How now, mad wag? Why, in thy quips and inquiries, what a plague have I to do with a buffed

00:11:47.111 --> 00:11:54.104
- jerk in? What a pox have I to do with my hostess of the tavern? Well, thou hast called her to a reckoning

00:11:54.104 --> 00:12:00.767
- many a time and oft. Did I ever call for thee to pay thy part? No. I'll give thee thy due. Thou hast

00:12:00.767 --> 00:12:01.822
- paid all there.

00:12:01.954 --> 00:12:09.348
- Yea, and elsewhere, so far as my coin would stretch. Were it not, I have used my credit. Thou hast so

00:12:09.348 --> 00:12:16.670
- used it, that were it not here apparent, that thou were ere apparent. But I prithee, sweet wag, will

00:12:16.670 --> 00:12:23.919
- there be gallows standing in England when thou art king? With resolution thus fubbed as it is, with

00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:30.878
- the rusty curb of old father antech the law, do not thou, when thou art king, hang a thief? No.

00:12:31.490 --> 00:12:41.290
- Thou shalt. Shall I? Oh, rare! By the Lord, I shall be a brave judge. Thy judgment is false already.

00:12:41.290 --> 00:12:50.992
- I mean, thou shalt have the hanging of thieves. And so become a rare hangman. Well, well, well. And

00:12:50.992 --> 00:13:01.374
- yet this sort jumps more to my humor than waiting in the court, I can tell you. What, frotaining of suits?

00:13:02.082 --> 00:13:10.693
- Yea, for the obtaining of suits, whereof the hangman hath no lean wardrobe. This blood, I am as melancholy

00:13:10.693 --> 00:13:18.902
- as a jib-cat or a lugged bear. Or an old lion, or a lover's lute. Yea, or the drone of a Lincolnshire

00:13:18.902 --> 00:13:27.110
- bagpipe. What sayest thou to a hare, or the melancholy of wool-ditch? Thou hast most unsavory similes

00:13:27.110 --> 00:13:31.134
- indeed, and art the most comparative, rascalliest

00:13:31.490 --> 00:13:40.714
- sweet young prince, but I pray thee, Hal, trouble me no more with vanity. I would to God that thou and

00:13:40.714 --> 00:13:49.848
- I knewest where a commodity of good names might be bought. An old lord of the council rated me in the

00:13:49.848 --> 00:13:58.892
- street the other day about you, but I remarked him not, and yet he spoke very wisely, and I regarded

00:13:58.892 --> 00:14:01.310
- him not, and yet he talked

00:14:01.442 --> 00:14:10.971
- very wisely, and in the street, too. That is well, for wisdom cries out in the streets, and no man regards

00:14:10.971 --> 00:14:20.233
- it. Thou hast the most damnable iteration, and are surely able to corrupt a saint indeed. Al, thou hast

00:14:20.233 --> 00:14:27.358
- done me much harm. God forgive thee for it. Before I knew thee, I knew nothing.

00:14:31.522 --> 00:14:39.211
- Amanda, tell the truth. I am little better than one of the wicked. I must give over this life, and I

00:14:39.211 --> 00:14:46.976
- will give it over. By the Lord, I am a villain. I'll be damned for never a king's son in Christendom.

00:14:46.976 --> 00:14:54.818
- Where shall we take a purse tomorrow, Jack? Well, sounds where thou wilt. I'll make one, and I do not.

00:14:54.818 --> 00:14:59.614
- Call me a villain and baffle me. See, a good amendment of life

00:15:00.546 --> 00:15:09.965
- of purse-taking. Why, Hal, it is my vocation, Hal. There's no sin in a man laboring at his vocation.

00:15:09.965 --> 00:15:19.476
- Point! If a man be saved by merit, what hole in hell is hot enough for him? He is the most omnipotent

00:15:19.476 --> 00:15:30.014
- thief that ever cried stand to a true man. Good morrow, Ned. Good morrow, sweet Hal. What so's Monsieur Remorse?

00:15:30.402 --> 00:15:36.953
- What says Sir John Sack and Sugar? Jack, how agrees the devil with thee about thy soul, that thou soul's

00:15:36.953 --> 00:15:43.254
- from good Friday last, for a cup of Madeira and a cold cape on one? Sir John stands to his word. The

00:15:43.254 --> 00:15:49.555
- devil shall have his bargain, for he was never yet a breaker of prophets. He will give the devil his

00:15:49.555 --> 00:15:55.856
- due. Then art thou damned for keeping thy word with the devil, else they've been damned for cozoning

00:15:55.856 --> 00:16:00.286
- the devil. But my lads, my lads, tomorrow morning early at Gad's Hill,

00:16:00.610 --> 00:16:07.774
- There will be pilgrims going to Canterbury with rich operands and traders riding to London in fat purses.

00:16:07.774 --> 00:16:14.803
- I have bizzards for you all. You have horses for yourselves. We may do it as secure as sleep. Ride with

00:16:14.803 --> 00:16:21.494
- me, and I will stuff your purses full of crowns. If you will not, I'd tarry at home and be hanged.

00:16:21.494 --> 00:16:28.523
- Hear ye, Edward. If I tarry at home, I'll hang you for going. You will, chaps. How? Will thou make one?

00:16:28.523 --> 00:16:30.078
- Who? I rob. I a thief.

00:16:30.370 --> 00:16:38.174
- Not I, by my faith. Why, thou hast neither honesty, nor manhood, nor good fellowship in thee, and thou

00:16:38.174 --> 00:16:45.827
- capes not from the blood royal, if thou wilt not stand for ten shillings. Well, once in my days I'll

00:16:45.827 --> 00:16:53.404
- be a mancap. Ay, that was well said. But may I tarry at home. Then I will prove a traitor when thou

00:16:53.404 --> 00:16:56.510
- art king. I cannot. Sir John, I prithee.

00:16:56.994 --> 00:17:05.331
- Leave me and the prince alone a while. I will lay him down such reasons for this adventure that he will

00:17:05.331 --> 00:17:13.749
- go. Well, God grant thee the spirit of persuading, and him that is of profiting, that what thou speakest

00:17:13.749 --> 00:17:22.086
- may move, and what he hearest may be believed, and that the true prince may prove for recreation's sake

00:17:22.086 --> 00:17:25.854
- a false thief. For the poor abuses of the time

00:17:27.330 --> 00:17:34.859
- Want countenance. Farewell. I'll meet thee here and on. Farewell, the latter spring. Farewell, all Hallowen's

00:17:34.859 --> 00:17:42.046
- summer. Now, my good, sweet, honey lord, ride with us tomorrow. I have a jest to execute, which I cannot

00:17:42.046 --> 00:17:49.233
- manage alone. Paulstaff, Bardolph, and Peter will rob those men. Yourself and I will not be there. Then,

00:17:49.233 --> 00:17:56.830
- once they have the booty, if you and I do not rob them, cut this head off from my shoulders. How shall we part

00:17:56.962 --> 00:18:02.363
- and setting forth. Well, we will leave before or after them, and appoint them a place of meeting wherein

00:18:02.363 --> 00:18:07.611
- it is our pleasure to fail. They will then venture upon the exploit themselves, which they shall have

00:18:07.611 --> 00:18:13.115
- no sooner achieved, but you and I will set upon them. Yea, but it is like they will know us by our horses,

00:18:13.115 --> 00:18:18.362
- by our habits, by every other appointment, to be ourselves. T'as our horses they will not see. I will

00:18:18.362 --> 00:18:23.866
- hide them in the woods. Our visage we will change after we leave them. And, Sarah, I have cases of Buckram

00:18:23.866 --> 00:18:24.638
- for the nonce.

00:18:25.154 --> 00:18:31.803
- which do enmask our noted outward garments. Yeah, but I doubt they'll be too hard for us. Two of them

00:18:31.803 --> 00:18:38.386
- I know to be as truebred cowards as ever turned back. And as for the third, if he fights longer than

00:18:38.386 --> 00:18:45.034
- he sees reason, I'll forswear arms. The virtue of this jest is in the incomprehensible lies that same

00:18:45.034 --> 00:18:51.618
- fat rogue will tell us at supper. How thirty, at least, he fought with. What wards, what blows, what

00:18:51.618 --> 00:18:53.182
- extremities he endured.

00:18:53.986 --> 00:19:01.435
- And in the reproof of this lies the jest. Well, I'll go with thee. Provide us all things necessary,

00:19:01.435 --> 00:19:09.406
- and meet me here tomorrow morn. Farewell. Farewell, my lord. I know you all will awhile uphold the unyoked

00:19:09.406 --> 00:19:17.005
- humor of your idleness. Yet herein will I imitate the sun, who doth permit the base contagious clouds

00:19:17.005 --> 00:19:23.262
- to smother up his beauty from the world, that, when you please again to be himself,

00:19:24.290 --> 00:19:32.031
- may be more wondered at by breaking through the foul and ugly mists of vapors that did seem to strangle

00:19:32.031 --> 00:19:39.549
- him. If all the year were plain holidays, this boat would be as tedious as to work. When they seldom

00:19:39.549 --> 00:19:47.141
- come, they wished for come. Nothing pleases but rare accidents. So in this loose behavior I throw off

00:19:47.141 --> 00:19:52.798
- and pay the debt I never promised in, by how much greater than my word am I

00:19:53.474 --> 00:20:00.420
- Why so much shall I falsify men's hopes? And like bright metal on a sullen ground, my reformation, glittering

00:20:00.420 --> 00:20:06.797
- o'er my faults, shall show more goodly, and attract more eyes than that which hath no foil to set it

00:20:06.797 --> 00:20:12.606
- off. I'll so offend to make offence a skill. Do you mean time, when men least think I will?

00:21:12.642 --> 00:21:18.912
- My blood hath been too cold and temperate enough to stir at these indignities, and you have found me,

00:21:18.912 --> 00:21:25.366
- for accordingly you tread upon my patience. But be sure from henceforth I shall rather be myself mighty,

00:21:25.366 --> 00:21:31.512
- and to be feared than my condition, which was smooth as oil, soft as young down. And therefore lost

00:21:31.512 --> 00:21:37.843
- that title of respect which the proud soul ne'er pays but to the proud. Our house, my sovereign liege,

00:21:37.843 --> 00:21:41.470
- little deserves the scourge of greatness to be used on it.

00:21:42.082 --> 00:21:48.928
- and that same greatness, too, which with our own hands have hoped to make so portly. My lord. Willst

00:21:48.928 --> 00:21:55.773
- thou get thee gone? For I do see danger and disobedience in thine eye. Oh, sir, your presence is too

00:21:55.773 --> 00:22:02.754
- bold and peremptory, and majesty might never yet endure the moody frontier of a servant brow. You have

00:22:02.754 --> 00:22:09.532
- good leave to leave us. When we need your use and counsel, we shall send for you. You were about to

00:22:09.532 --> 00:22:11.294
- speak. Yea, my good lord.

00:22:11.682 --> 00:22:17.906
- Those prisoners in your highness' name demanded, which were by Harry Percy here at Holmdon took, were,

00:22:17.906 --> 00:22:24.070
- as he says, not with such strength denied as is delivered to your majesty. Either envy, therefore, or

00:22:24.070 --> 00:22:30.113
- misprision is guilty of this fault and not my son. My liege, I did deny no prisoners. That's what I

00:22:30.113 --> 00:22:36.579
- remember when the fight was done, when I was dry with rage and extreme toil, breathless and faint, leaning

00:22:36.579 --> 00:22:40.990
- there upon my sword. Came there a certain lord, neat and trimly dressed,

00:22:41.538 --> 00:22:46.576
- Fresh as a bridegroom in its chin, new-reap'd, Show'd like the stubble-land at harvest-home. It was

00:22:46.576 --> 00:22:51.816
- perfum'd like a milliner, And betwixt his finger and his thumb he held a pouncet-box, Whiche'er in anon

00:22:51.816 --> 00:22:57.006
- he gave his nose and took it away again, Wherewith angry when it next came there took it in snuff, And

00:22:57.006 --> 00:23:02.145
- still he smiled and talked. And as the soldier's bore dead bodies by, He called them untaught knaves,

00:23:02.145 --> 00:23:07.183
- Unmannerly, to bring a slovenly and handsome corpse, But what's the wind in his nobility? With many

00:23:07.183 --> 00:23:10.206
- holiday and lady terms, He question'd me, amongst the rest,

00:23:10.626 --> 00:23:16.225
- demanded my prisoners in your majesty's behalf. I then, all smarting with my wounds being cold, and

00:23:16.225 --> 00:23:21.880
- to be so pestered by a poppin' jay, out of my grief and my impatience, answered, I know not what. He

00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:27.592
- should or he should not, for he made me mad to see him shine so brisk and smell so sweet, and talk so

00:23:27.592 --> 00:23:33.639
- like a waiting gentlewoman of guns and drums and wounds. God save the mark. Then telling me the sovereign's

00:23:33.639 --> 00:23:38.622
- thing on earth was parmissetti for an inward brew, and that it was great pity so it was,

00:23:38.914 --> 00:23:44.567
- that this villainous old Peter should be digged out of the bowels of a harmless earth, which many a

00:23:44.567 --> 00:23:50.276
- good, tall fellow had destroyed so cowardly, and that for these vile guns he would himself have been

00:23:50.276 --> 00:23:56.098
- a soldier. Bald, unjoined, a chat of his, my lord, I answered indirectly as I said. And I beseech you,

00:23:56.098 --> 00:24:01.807
- let not his report come current for an accusation betwixt my love and your high majesty. Why yet you

00:24:01.807 --> 00:24:07.742
- do deny, your prisoners, but with proviso and exception, that we at our own charge shall ransom straight

00:24:07.970 --> 00:24:16.388
- your brother-in-law, the foolish Mortimer, who on my soul hath willfully betrayed the lives of those

00:24:16.388 --> 00:24:24.805
- he led to fight against that great magician, damned Glendower, whose daughter, as we hear, that Earl

00:24:24.805 --> 00:24:33.390
- of March hath lately married. Shall our coffers then be emptied to redeem a traitor home? Shall we buy

00:24:33.390 --> 00:24:35.390
- treason and indent with

00:24:35.490 --> 00:24:41.583
- when they have lost and forfeited themselves? No, on the barren mountains let him starve, for I shall

00:24:41.583 --> 00:24:47.916
- never hold that man, my friend, whose tongue shall ask one penny's cost to ransom home revolted Mortimer.

00:24:47.916 --> 00:24:54.009
- Revolted Mortimer? He never did fall off, my lord, but by the chance of war. To prove that true needs

00:24:54.009 --> 00:25:00.042
- no more but one tongue. One tongue for all those wounds. Those moused wounds which valiantly he took

00:25:00.042 --> 00:25:03.806
- when on the gentle severance sedgy bank and single opposition.

00:25:04.034 --> 00:25:09.494
- Hand to hand he did confound the better part of an hour in changing heartament with great Glendower.

00:25:09.494 --> 00:25:14.791
- Three times did they pause and three times did they drink upon agreement of swift Severn's flood,

00:25:14.791 --> 00:25:20.305
- who then, frightened with their bloody looks, ran trembling among the reeds and hit his crisp head in

00:25:20.305 --> 00:25:25.819
- the hollow bank. Blood stained with those valiant competences. Never did bare and rotten policy color

00:25:25.819 --> 00:25:31.658
- her working with such deadly wounds, nor never could the noble Mortimer receive so many, and all willingly.

00:25:31.658 --> 00:25:33.982
- Then let him not be slandered with revolt.

00:25:35.042 --> 00:25:42.604
- Thou dost belie him, Percy, thou dost belie him. He never did encounter with Glendower. I tell you,

00:25:42.604 --> 00:25:50.468
- he durst as well have met the devil alone as Owen Glendower for an enemy. Art thou not ashamed? Sirrah,

00:25:50.468 --> 00:25:58.181
- henceforth let me not hear you speak of Mortimer. Send me your prisoners with the speediest means, or

00:25:58.181 --> 00:26:02.718
- you will hear in such a kind from me as will displease you.

00:26:04.322 --> 00:26:09.725
- The Lord Northumberland, we license your departure with your son. Send us your prisoners with the speediest

00:26:09.725 --> 00:26:11.326
- means, or you shall hear of it.

00:26:49.858 --> 00:26:56.181
- I will ease my heart, albeit I make a hazard of my head. What? Drunk with collar? Stay and pause awhile.

00:26:56.181 --> 00:27:02.203
- Here comes your uncle. Speak of Mortimer. Sounds I will speak of him, and let my soul want mercy if

00:27:02.203 --> 00:27:08.225
- I do not join with him. On his part, I'll empty all these veins and shed my dear blood drop by drop

00:27:08.225 --> 00:27:14.307
- in the dust. But I will lift the downtrodden Mortimer as high in the air as this unthankful king, as

00:27:14.307 --> 00:27:19.486
- this ingrate and cankered Bullingbrooke. Brother, the king hath made your nephew mad.

00:27:19.938 --> 00:27:26.672
- Who struck up this heat after I was gone? He will, forsooth, have all my prisoners. And when I urged

00:27:26.672 --> 00:27:33.474
- the ransom once again of my wife's brother, his cheek looked pale, and on my face he turned an eye of

00:27:33.474 --> 00:27:40.141
- death, trembling even at the name of Mortimer. I cannot blame him. Was he not proclaimed by Richard

00:27:40.141 --> 00:27:44.542
- that dead is the next of blood? He was. I heard the proclamation.

00:27:45.314 --> 00:27:51.611
- And then it was when the unhappy king, whose wrongs in us God pardoned, did depart upon his Irish expedition,

00:27:51.611 --> 00:27:57.392
- from whence he intercepted, did return to be deposed and shortly murdered. And for whose death we in

00:27:57.392 --> 00:28:03.231
- the world's wide mouth live scandalized and foully spoken of? Soft, I pray you. Did King Richard then

00:28:03.231 --> 00:28:09.126
- proclaim my brother Edmund Mortimer heir to the crown? He did. Myself did hear the proclamation. Well,

00:28:09.126 --> 00:28:13.534
- then I cannot blame his cousin King that wished him on the barren mountains.

00:28:14.754 --> 00:28:20.467
- Shall it be that you, that placed the crown on the head of this forgetful man, and for his sake were

00:28:20.467 --> 00:28:26.123
- the detested blot of murderous subordination? Shall it be that you a world of curses undergo? Be in

00:28:26.123 --> 00:28:32.118
- the agents, or base second means, the cords, the ladder, or the hangman rather. Forgive me that I descend

00:28:32.118 --> 00:28:37.774
- so low to show the line and predicament wherein you range under this subtle cave. Shall it in shame

00:28:37.774 --> 00:28:39.358
- be spoken of in these days?

00:28:39.746 --> 00:28:45.935
- fill up chronicles in time to come that men of your nobility and power did gauge them both in an unjust

00:28:45.935 --> 00:28:52.005
- behalf. As both of you, God pardoned, have done, put down Richard, that sweet, lovely rose, and plant

00:28:52.005 --> 00:28:58.134
- in his place this thorn, this canker, bullying rook? And shall it in further shame be spoken more that

00:28:58.134 --> 00:29:04.263
- you were fooled, discarded, and shook off by him for whom these shames you underwent? And yet the time

00:29:04.263 --> 00:29:07.774
- may come wherein you can retrieve your banished daughters.

00:29:08.098 --> 00:29:14.225
- and restore yourselves into the good thoughts of the world again. Revenge the jeering and disdained

00:29:14.225 --> 00:29:20.475
- contempt of that proud king, who studies day and night to answer all the debt he owes to you, even to

00:29:20.475 --> 00:29:26.969
- the bloody payment of your deaths. Therefore, I say... Peace, cousin, say no more, and I will now unclasp

00:29:26.969 --> 00:29:33.158
- a secret book, and to your quick conceiving discontents, I'll read you matter deep and dangerous, as

00:29:33.158 --> 00:29:35.486
- full of peril and adventurous spirit,

00:29:35.778 --> 00:29:42.692
- as to overwalk a current roaring loud on the unsteadfast footing of a spear. He thinks it were but an

00:29:42.692 --> 00:29:49.742
- easy leap to pluck bright honour from the pale-faced moon, or dive into the deep where Fathomline could

00:29:49.742 --> 00:29:56.724
- never hope to touch, and pluck up drowned at honour by the locks, so he the doth redeemer may wear her

00:29:56.724 --> 00:30:02.622
- thence without co-rival and all her dignities. And out upon this huff-faced fellowship

00:30:02.914 --> 00:30:09.216
- He apprehends a world of figures here. And not the form of what he should attend. Good cousin, give

00:30:09.216 --> 00:30:15.519
- me audience for a while. I cry your mercy. Those same Scottish prisoners... He shall not have a one

00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:21.884
- of them. By God, I'll keep them all. Nor if a Scot would save his soul, he shall not. I'll keep them

00:30:21.884 --> 00:30:28.438
- all by this hand. You start away and lend no ear unto my purposes. Those prisoners you shall keep. Nay,

00:30:28.438 --> 00:30:30.014
- I will, and that's flat.

00:30:30.498 --> 00:30:36.397
- He forbade me to even speak of Mortimer. He would not even think of his ransom once again. I shall find

00:30:36.397 --> 00:30:42.125
- him as he lies in bed, and in his ear I'll holler, Mortimer! Me, I shall have a starling and have it

00:30:42.125 --> 00:30:47.854
- taught to speak nothing but Mortimer, and I'll give it him so he may keep his anger still in motion.

00:30:47.854 --> 00:30:53.753
- Hear, you cousin, a word. All studies here I solemnly defy save how to gall and pinch this Bullingbroke

00:30:53.753 --> 00:30:56.702
- and that same sword and buckle our Prince of Wales.

00:30:57.218 --> 00:31:02.670
- But that his father loves him not, and would be glad he met with some mistrance. I'd poison him with

00:31:02.670 --> 00:31:08.446
- a pot of ale. Farewell, kinsman. I'll talk to you when you're better tempered to attend. What a wasp-stung

00:31:08.446 --> 00:31:13.844
- and impatient fool art thou to break into this woman's mood, tying thine ear to no tongue but thine

00:31:13.844 --> 00:31:19.242
- own. Oh, look you, I am whipped and scorched with rods, nuzzled and stung with pismires when I hear

00:31:19.242 --> 00:31:25.342
- of that vile politician, Bullingbrooke. In Richard's time, where do you call the place? It's in Gloucestershire.

00:31:27.298 --> 00:31:33.957
- It was where the madcap duke his uncle kept, the Uncle York. It was where I first bowed my knees to

00:31:33.957 --> 00:31:40.815
- that king of smiles, Bullingbroke. Splendid! Were you any left from Ravenspur? At Berkeley Castle. You

00:31:40.815 --> 00:31:47.674
- say true. What a candy deal of courtesy did the fawning greyhound then prefer me? Look when his infant

00:31:47.674 --> 00:31:54.399
- fortune comes to age, and kind, hairy person, and gentle cousin. The devil takes such cousiners. God

00:31:54.399 --> 00:31:55.198
- forgive me.

00:31:56.098 --> 00:32:04.023
- Good uncle, I have done. On with your tale. Nay, if you have not, to it again. We will stay your leisure.

00:32:04.023 --> 00:32:11.874
- I have done in vain. Then once more to your Scottish prisoners. Deliver them up without ransom straight.

00:32:11.874 --> 00:32:19.350
- And make that Douglas's son your only mean for powers in Scotland. Which for diverse reasons, which

00:32:19.350 --> 00:32:24.958
- I shall send you written, be assured will be easily granted. You, my lord.

00:32:26.082 --> 00:32:35.981
- son in Scotland, thus employed, shall secretly into the bosom creep of that same noble prelate, well-beloved,

00:32:35.981 --> 00:32:45.519
- the Archbishop. Of York, is it not? True, who bears hard his brother's death at Bristol, the Lord Scroop.

00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:54.878
- I speak not in estimation of what I think might be, but what I know is ruminated, plotted, and set down

00:32:55.714 --> 00:33:02.529
- only stays but to behold the face of that occasion that shall bring it on. I smell it. In faith it is

00:33:02.529 --> 00:33:09.211
- exceedingly well. The game is not yet afoot and still thou let slip. But it is such a noble plot it

00:33:09.211 --> 00:33:16.227
- could not help but succeed. The power of Scotland and of York to join with Mortimer? Then so they shall.

00:33:16.227 --> 00:33:22.976
- In truth it is exceedingly well aimed. And tis no little reason that bids us speed to save our heads

00:33:22.976 --> 00:33:24.446
- by raising of a head.

00:33:24.674 --> 00:33:32.128
- forbear ourselves as even as we can. The King will always think him in our debt, and think we think

00:33:32.128 --> 00:33:39.731
- ourselves unsatisfied, till he hath paid us time to pay us home. And see how he already doth begin to

00:33:39.731 --> 00:33:47.409
- make us strangers to his looks of love. He does, he does. We'll be revenged on him. Farewell, cousins,

00:33:47.409 --> 00:33:52.478
- and no further go in this till I by letter will direct your course.

00:33:52.770 --> 00:34:00.704
- When the time is ripe, which will be suddenly, I'll steal to Glendower and Mortimer, where you and Douglas

00:34:00.704 --> 00:34:08.491
- and our powers at once, as I will fashion it, shall happily meet, to bear our fortunes in our own strong

00:34:08.491 --> 00:34:15.461
- arms, which now we hold at much uncertainty. Farewell, good brother. We will thrive, I trust.

00:34:15.461 --> 00:34:22.654
- Uncle Adjou, and let the hours be short until the fields and groans and blows applaud our sport.

00:34:54.370 --> 00:35:16.512
- Shelter! Shelter! I've removed Falstaff's horse and he spits like a gun velvet. Staying close. Point!

00:35:16.512 --> 00:35:22.590
- Point and be hanged! Point!

00:35:24.066 --> 00:35:34.581
- What a brawling dost thou keep? Where is Poin now? Oh, he's walked up to the top of the hill. I'll go

00:35:34.581 --> 00:35:45.301
- seek him. I am accursed to robbing that thief's company. The rascal hath removed my horse and tied him.

00:35:45.301 --> 00:35:52.414
- I know not where. If I travel four foot by the squire further afoot,

00:35:52.962 --> 00:36:04.263
- I'll break my wind. Well, I doubt not that I will die a fair death for all this, if I escape being hanged

00:36:04.263 --> 00:36:15.137
- for killing that rogue. I have foresworn his company hourly, any time, this twenty and two years, and

00:36:15.137 --> 00:36:19.934
- yet I am bewitched with the rogue's company.

00:36:22.402 --> 00:36:37.077
- and he has not given me medicines to make me love him, I'll be hanged. It could not be else. I have

00:36:37.077 --> 00:36:46.910
- drugged medicines. Point! How? A plague I need both. Bottle, pito.

00:36:54.882 --> 00:37:04.984
- another foot further. Ah, and where a deed not as good as drink, to turn true ban and leave those roads.

00:37:04.984 --> 00:37:14.989
- I am the various violet that ever chewed with a tube. Eight yards of uneven ground is like three, four,

00:37:14.989 --> 00:37:22.974
- and 10 miles with me a foot, and those stony-hearted villains know it well enough.

00:37:24.034 --> 00:37:32.780
- or a plague on it, when thieves cannot be true to one another. Poins! God hang ye! Where is my horse?

00:37:32.780 --> 00:37:41.526
- Peace ye fat guts. Lay down, lay thine ear close to the ground, and list if thou canst hear the tread

00:37:41.526 --> 00:37:50.100
- of travelers. And you have levers to lift me again when I am down? It's blood. I cannot bear my own

00:37:50.100 --> 00:37:52.158
- flesh one foot further.

00:37:52.994 --> 00:38:01.450
- for all the coin in your father's exchequer. What a plague, mean you to cult me thus. Oh, thou liest.

00:38:01.450 --> 00:38:09.989
- Thou art not culted, thou art unculted. Hal, my good prince, hal, hop me to my horse, good king's son.

00:38:09.989 --> 00:38:17.699
- Out, you rogue, shall I be your hostler? Oh, go hang yourself in your heir apparent garters.

00:38:17.699 --> 00:38:22.590
- If I am taken, I'll peach for this. If I have not ballads,

00:38:23.010 --> 00:38:31.611
- written on all of you, and sung to filthy tunes, a cup of sack be my poison. When a jest goes this far

00:38:31.611 --> 00:38:40.379
- forward, and a what to, I hate it. Stand. I do so, sir, but against my will. Bardolph, what news? Casey,

00:38:40.379 --> 00:38:48.729
- Casey, on with your visits. There's money to the king's coming down the hill, and it's going to the

00:38:48.729 --> 00:38:51.902
- king's exchequer. You lie, you rogue.

00:38:52.514 --> 00:38:59.495
- Go into the king's tavern. And there be enough to make us all. To be hanged. Sirs, you three shall front

00:38:59.495 --> 00:39:06.143
- them in the narrow lane. Ned Poins and I will walk lower. If they escape from here, encounter them.

00:39:06.143 --> 00:39:13.190
- They lie on us. How many be there of them? Some eight or ten. Zones, will they not rob us? What a coward,

00:39:13.190 --> 00:39:19.971
- Sir John Ponch. Indeed, I am no John of Gaunt, your grandfather. But no coward high, Hal. Well, we'll

00:39:19.971 --> 00:39:20.702
- leave that

00:39:23.490 --> 00:39:34.513
- Jack, your horse stands behind the hedge. When thou needest him, there thou shall find him. Farewell

00:39:34.513 --> 00:39:45.427
- and stand fast. Now, canst I not strike him, if I should hang for it? Now, my masters, happy man be

00:39:45.427 --> 00:39:51.102
- to his dole, must say I. Every man to his business.

00:40:01.186 --> 00:40:08.061
- Come, neighbor, the boys shall lead our horses down the hill. We'll walk a foot a while and ease our

00:40:08.061 --> 00:40:15.277
- legs. End! Jesus bless us! Strike! Down with them! Cut the villain's throats! Ah, whoreson, caterpillars!

00:40:15.277 --> 00:40:22.289
- Bacon-fed maids! They hate us youth! Down with them! Fleece them! Oh, we are undone, both we and ours,

00:40:22.289 --> 00:40:29.437
- forever! Hang, you gore-bellied maids! Are ye undone? No, ye fat chuffs! Why would your store were here?

00:40:29.437 --> 00:40:30.526
- On, bacons, on!

00:40:30.690 --> 00:40:38.600
- What, you knaves? Young men must live. Ah, you are grand jurors, are ye? We'll jure ye faith. The thieves

00:40:38.600 --> 00:40:46.137
- abound the true men. Now, couldst thou and I rob the thieves and go merrily back to London? There'll

00:40:46.137 --> 00:40:53.972
- be argument for a week, laughter for a month, and a good jest for ever. Stand close, I hear them coming.

00:40:53.972 --> 00:40:55.838
- Let us share into horse.

00:40:58.050 --> 00:41:04.951
- And the Prince and Poins are not two errand cowards. There is no equity stirring. There is no more valour

00:41:04.951 --> 00:41:07.230
- in that Poins than in a wild duck.

00:41:33.058 --> 00:41:39.901
- Jeez, now Maryla is to horse. The thieves are all scattered and possessed with fear so strong as if

00:41:39.901 --> 00:41:45.854
- they dare not meet each other. Which takes this fellow for an officer. Away, good Ned.

00:42:02.082 --> 00:42:07.971
- my lord, I could be well contented to be there, in respect of the love I bear your house. He could be

00:42:07.971 --> 00:42:13.744
- well contented. Why is he not then? In this he shows he loves his own barn better than he loves our

00:42:13.744 --> 00:42:19.575
- house. The purpose you undertake is dangerous. Why, that is certain. It is dangerous to take a cold,

00:42:19.575 --> 00:42:25.694
- to sleep, to drink. But out of this nettle danger, we pluck this flower safety. The purpose you undertake

00:42:25.694 --> 00:42:31.294
- is dangerous. The friends you have named uncertain, the time itself unsorted, and the whole plot

00:42:31.618 --> 00:42:37.773
- too light for the counterpoints of so great an opposition. Say you so, say you so. Well, I say you are

00:42:37.773 --> 00:42:43.748
- a shallow cowardly hind, and you lie. What a lack-brain is this? By the Lord, our plot is as good a

00:42:43.748 --> 00:42:49.723
- plot as ever was laid. Our friends, during constant. Good plot, good friends, full of expectations.

00:42:49.723 --> 00:42:56.117
- Excellent plot, very good friends. What a frosty-spirited rogue is this? As not the Lord of York commended

00:42:56.117 --> 00:42:58.686
- the plot and the general course of action,

00:42:59.330 --> 00:43:05.712
- and I were by this rascal, now I could braid him with his lady's fan. Is there not my father, my uncle,

00:43:05.712 --> 00:43:11.971
- and myself? Lord Mortimer, my lord of York, and Owen Glendower? And is there not besides the Douglas?

00:43:11.971 --> 00:43:18.107
- Have I not all of their letters to meet me in arms by the ninth of next month? And have not some of

00:43:18.107 --> 00:43:24.244
- them set forth already? What a pagan rascal is this? An infidel! Now, in very fear of sincerity and

00:43:24.244 --> 00:43:28.478
- cold heart, he will to the king and lay open all of our proceedings.

00:43:29.090 --> 00:43:35.102
- Hang him. Let him go to the king. We are prepared. Now Kate, I must leave thee within these two hours.

00:45:18.082 --> 00:45:24.450
- I fear my brother Mornmore to stir up at his title, and then send for you to line his enterprise. But

00:45:24.450 --> 00:45:30.880
- if you go so far afoot, my love, I shall be weary. Come, come, parakeeto. Answer me directly unto this

00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:37.373
- question that I ask. In faith, Harry, I'll break thy little finger, and if thou wilt not tell me things

00:45:37.373 --> 00:45:43.616
- true. Away, away, you trifle. Love, I love thee not. I care not for thee, Kate. This is no world to

00:45:43.616 --> 00:45:46.238
- play with mammoths and to tilt with lips.

00:45:46.914 --> 00:45:53.375
- We must have bloody noses and cracked crowns, And pass them courage too. Guards me my horse. What sayest

00:45:53.375 --> 00:45:59.589
- thou? What wouldst thou have with me? And do you not love me? Do you not, indeed, nay, tell me? Dost

00:45:59.589 --> 00:46:05.927
- thou speak in jest or no? Come, wilt thou see me ride? And when I am a horseback, I shall swear I love

00:46:05.927 --> 00:46:12.264
- thee infinitely. But I must not have you henceforth question me, whither I go, nor reason whereabouts.

00:46:12.264 --> 00:46:16.510
- Whither I must, I must, and to conclude this night must I leave you,

00:46:17.538 --> 00:46:19.582
- You are wise, yet no father wiser than you.

00:46:52.898 --> 00:46:59.510
- hand to laugh a little. Where's Ben-Hal? Oh, three or four lagerheads owns three or four score hogsheads.

00:46:59.510 --> 00:47:05.934
- I have sounded the very base string of humility. Sarah, I am sworn brother to a leash of draughts, and

00:47:05.934 --> 00:47:12.296
- can call them all by their Christian names as Tom, Dick, and Francis. They take it already upon their

00:47:12.296 --> 00:47:18.783
- salvation that though I be but Prince of Wales, that I am the King of Courtesy, and tell me flatly that

00:47:18.783 --> 00:47:21.278
- I am no prior Jack-like Falstaff, but a

00:47:22.594 --> 00:47:28.096
- a lad of metal, a good boy, by the Lord, so they call me, and that when I am King of England, I shall

00:47:28.096 --> 00:47:33.491
- command all the good lads in East Cheever. To conclude, I am so good a proficient in one quarter of

00:47:33.491 --> 00:47:39.101
- an hour that I can drink with any tinker in his own language during my lifetime. I tell thee, Ned, thou

00:47:39.101 --> 00:47:44.658
- hast lost much honor that thou wert not with me in this action. My lord, old Sturgeon was several more

00:47:44.658 --> 00:47:50.160
- at the door. Shall I let them in? Let them alone a while, and then open the door. No points. Shall we

00:47:50.160 --> 00:47:52.318
- be merry? As merry as crickets, my lad.

00:47:52.610 --> 00:47:58.980
- Now more humours that have shown themselves humours since the old days of Goodman Adam to this pupil

00:47:58.980 --> 00:48:05.602
- age of this present twelve o'clock at midnight. I am not yet of Percy's mind, the hot spur of the north.

00:48:05.602 --> 00:48:12.224
- He that kills me some six or seven dozen of Scots at a breakfast, washes his hands and says to his wife,

00:48:12.224 --> 00:48:18.657
- Fie upon this quiet life, I want work. Oh, my sweet Harry, says she, how many hast thou killed today?

00:48:18.657 --> 00:48:20.990
- Give my own horse a wrench, says he,

00:48:21.410 --> 00:48:30.336
- The man answers, some fourteen, an hour after, a trifle, a trifle. I prithee, call in Falstaff. I'll

00:48:30.336 --> 00:48:39.438
- play Percy, and that damn brawn shall play de Mortimer, his wife. Welcome, Jack, where hast thou been?

00:48:39.438 --> 00:48:48.717
- A play of all cowards, I say, and of engines too. Give me a cup of sack, boy. Here I, to this life long,

00:48:48.717 --> 00:48:50.750
- I shall so never stop.

00:48:51.394 --> 00:49:00.160
- and mend them and foot them, too. A cup of sack, you rogue! A plague of all cowards! Is there no virtue

00:49:00.160 --> 00:49:08.589
- extant? Didst thou never see a dish of butter that melted at the sweet tail of the sun? Thou didst,

00:49:08.589 --> 00:49:17.524
- and behold that compound. You rogue! There's lime in this sack, too. Oh, you can find nothing but roguery

00:49:17.524 --> 00:49:19.294
- in a villainous man.

00:49:20.930 --> 00:49:29.514
- And yet, a coward is worse than a cup of sack with lime in it. A villainous coward. Go thy way, Jack.

00:49:29.514 --> 00:49:38.097
- Die when thou wilt. Oh, if manhood, good manhood, is not forgot from the face of the earth, then I am

00:49:38.097 --> 00:49:46.513
- a shot and herring. There are not three good men living unhanged in England, and one of them is fat

00:49:46.513 --> 00:49:49.374
- and grows old. God help the wild.

00:49:52.162 --> 00:50:01.904
- A bad world, say I. I would I were a weaver, or I could sing songs or anything. A plague of all cowards,

00:50:01.904 --> 00:50:11.552
- I say. Why, you wholesome round man, what's the matter? Ah, are you not a coward? A king's son? I would

00:50:11.552 --> 00:50:21.758
- beat thee from thy kingdom with a dagger of laugh and drive all thy subjects before thee like a flock of wild

00:50:22.914 --> 00:50:33.088
- You, you Prince of Wales. What is the matter? Are you not a coward? Answer me to that. And points there.

00:50:33.088 --> 00:50:42.778
- Sound your fat punch and you call me a coward all stamped if I lord. I call thee a coward. I'll see

00:50:42.778 --> 00:50:50.142
- thee damned ere I call thee a coward. I would that I give a thousand points

00:50:51.362 --> 00:50:58.414
- if I could run as fast as he can. Thou art straight enough through the shoulders that thou carest not

00:50:58.414 --> 00:51:05.327
- who seest thy back. Call this backing thy friends, a plague of such backing. I would have them that

00:51:05.327 --> 00:51:12.448
- would face me. Give me a cup of sack, I'm a rogue if I've drunk today. Oh villain, thy lips are scarce

00:51:12.448 --> 00:51:18.878
- white since thou drunk'st last. All is one for that. A plague of all cowards, I say to thee.

00:51:23.042 --> 00:51:30.683
- What's the matter? The three of us have taken a thousand pounds this day morning. Oh, where is it, Jack?

00:51:30.683 --> 00:51:37.961
- Where is it? Where is it? Taken from us. A hundred upon the poor three of us. What? A hundred, man?

00:51:37.961 --> 00:51:45.384
- I am a rogue if I were not at half-sword with a dozen of them. Two hours together was a miracle I did

00:51:45.384 --> 00:51:51.934
- escape. I have eight times thrust through the doublet, four through the hose, my buckler,

00:51:52.642 --> 00:52:03.405
- and threw my sword, hacked like a handsaw. Eche signum. Ah, I have not dealt such since I was a man,

00:52:03.405 --> 00:52:13.742
- but all would not do. A plague of all cowards, I say. Let them speak. If they say not the truth,

00:52:13.742 --> 00:52:20.030
- more or less, then they are villains and sons of darkness.

00:52:22.850 --> 00:52:29.442
- Three, three, set upon some dozen. Oh, sixteen at least, my lord. And bound them. No, no, they were

00:52:29.442 --> 00:52:36.231
- not bound. Ah, you rogue! They were bound, every one of them. For I am a Jew else, an Abraham Jew. And

00:52:36.231 --> 00:52:42.888
- as we were sharing, some six or seven freshmen set upon us. Yes, and unbound the rest, and then came

00:52:42.888 --> 00:52:49.678
- in the other. What, fought you with them all? I know not what you call all. If I fought not fifty, I'm

00:52:49.678 --> 00:52:52.446
- a bunch of radish. If there were not two,

00:52:52.962 --> 00:53:01.890
- against poor old Jack. I am not a two-legged creature. My God, you have not murdered some of them. Oh,

00:53:01.890 --> 00:53:10.559
- it is too late for praying that. I have peppered two of them. Two I am sure I have paid. Two rogues

00:53:10.559 --> 00:53:19.920
- in buckram suits. And I tell thee, hell, if I lie to thee, spit in my face and call me horse. Thou knowest,

00:53:19.920 --> 00:53:22.174
- my old ward, there I lay.

00:53:22.946 --> 00:53:31.046
- And I bore my point thus, when the four rogues in Buckram suits let drive at me. Four? Why, there were

00:53:31.046 --> 00:53:39.068
- but two even now. Four, Hal. I told thee four. Why, I said four. Now these four did press me affront,

00:53:39.068 --> 00:53:46.932
- and mainly thrusted me, and with no more ado, I took all seven of their points in my target. Seven?

00:53:46.932 --> 00:53:52.830
- Why, you said but four even now. In Buckram? I said four in Buckram suits.

00:53:53.794 --> 00:54:00.443
- Nay, but by these, hilt seven, or I am a villain else. Oh, prithee, let him alone. We shall have more

00:54:00.443 --> 00:54:07.026
- none. Now, doth thou listen now? Oh, I do, and mark thee too, Jack. Well, do so, for it is worth the

00:54:07.026 --> 00:54:13.674
- listening. Now, these nine villains I have told you of in Buckram. So, two more already? Their points

00:54:13.674 --> 00:54:20.193
- being broken. Down fell their home. Began giving me ground, and I followed close, came and hand and

00:54:20.193 --> 00:54:23.582
- foot, well, without a thought, seven of the eleven.

00:54:26.594 --> 00:54:33.189
- grown out of two. And as the devil would have it, three misbegotten knaves in kindle green came at my

00:54:33.189 --> 00:54:39.849
- back and let drive in me. For how was so dark thou couldst not see thine own hand? These lies are like

00:54:39.849 --> 00:54:46.444
- their father that begets them. Gross as a mountain, open, palpable. Why, thou clay-brained guts, thou

00:54:46.444 --> 00:54:53.104
- knotty-painted fool, thou wholesome, odd-seen, greasy tallow-catch. Art thou mad? Art thou mad? Is not

00:54:53.104 --> 00:54:54.462
- the truth the truth?

00:54:57.378 --> 00:55:05.262
- so dark that I could not see thy hand. Come, tell us your reason. What sayest thou to this? Your reason,

00:55:05.262 --> 00:55:13.146
- Jack, your reason. What, on compulsion? Zounds! If I were at the Strapato or all the racks of the world,

00:55:13.146 --> 00:55:21.030
- I would tell no reason on compulsion. Speak on compulsion? If reasons were as plentiful as blackberries,

00:55:21.030 --> 00:55:27.262
- I would tell no man reason on compulsion, I. I'll be no longer guilty of this sin.

00:55:27.778 --> 00:55:37.437
- This bed-presser, this horse-back-breaker, this huge hill of flesh. Blood! You starling! You eel-skin!

00:55:37.437 --> 00:55:46.909
- You dragnet's tongue! You bull's-bizzle! You stockfish! Give me breath, that I may say what thou art

00:55:46.909 --> 00:55:56.381
- like. You tailor's yard! You sheath! You bow-case! You vile-standing tuck! Well, breathe awhile, and

00:55:56.381 --> 00:55:57.694
- then to rest.

00:55:59.138 --> 00:56:07.509
- hear me speak but this. Mark, Jack. We, too, saw you three set on four, and found them, and were masters

00:56:07.509 --> 00:56:15.561
- of their wealth. Mark now how a plain tale shall put you down. Then did we, too, set one, you three,

00:56:15.561 --> 00:56:23.852
- and with a word out-faced you from your prize, and have it, yea, and can show it you here in the house.

00:56:23.852 --> 00:56:27.998
- And, Falstaff, you carried your guts away as nimbly

00:56:28.194 --> 00:56:34.941
- with his quick dexterity, and roared for mercy, and still run, and roared, as ever I heard Bolcave.

00:56:34.941 --> 00:56:42.026
- What a slave art thou, the hat I sawed as thou was done, and said was in fight. What trick, what device,

00:56:42.026 --> 00:56:48.976
- what starting-hall canst thou now find out to hide thee from this open and apparent shame? Come, Jack,

00:56:48.976 --> 00:56:54.846
- let's hear what trick thou hast now. By the Lord, I know ye as well as he that may ye.

00:56:58.050 --> 00:57:06.954
- You, my masters, is it for me? What, to kill the heir apparent? To turn on the true prince? For thou

00:57:06.954 --> 00:57:16.476
- knowest I am valiant as Hercules. But beware of instinct. The lion will not touch the true prince. Instinct

00:57:16.476 --> 00:57:26.174
- is a great matter. I was a coward now on instinct. And I will think better on myself and thee during my life.

00:57:27.490 --> 00:57:37.023
- as a valiant lion, and thou as the true prince. But, by the Lord, I am glad that you have the money.

00:57:37.023 --> 00:57:46.462
- Hostess, clap to the doors. Watch tonight, pray tomorrow. Gallants, lads, boys, hearts of gold, all

00:57:46.462 --> 00:57:55.806
- titles of good fellowship come to thee. What, shall we be married? Shall we have a play extempore?

00:57:56.834 --> 00:58:02.622
- and the argument shall be lie running away. Oh, no more of that, how then thou lust me. Oh, Jezu, my

00:58:02.622 --> 00:58:08.468
- lord the prince. Oh, how now, my lady the hostess? What say'st thou to me? Married, my lord, if there

00:58:08.468 --> 00:58:14.371
- is a nobleman of the court at door, I would speak with you. He says he comes for your father. Give him

00:58:14.371 --> 00:58:19.873
- as much as will make him a royal man, and send him back to my mother. What manner of man is he?

00:58:19.873 --> 00:58:25.375
- An old man. Walked off gravity, out of bed, past midnight. Shall I take your answer to him? Oh,

00:58:25.375 --> 00:58:26.750
- pretty do, Jack. Faith.

00:58:27.138 --> 00:58:36.497
- Send him packing. Now, sirs, by our lady. You fought well, Pito. So did you, Bardol. You are lions,

00:58:36.497 --> 00:58:45.949
- too. You ran away upon instinct. You will not hurt the true prince now. Fie. Faith, I ran when I saw

00:58:45.949 --> 00:58:55.495
- others run. Oh, Faith, tell me now in earnest. How came Falstaff's sword so hacked? Why, he hacked it

00:58:55.495 --> 00:58:57.086
- with his dagger.

00:58:57.890 --> 00:59:05.855
- He said he would swear truth out of England, but he would make you believe it was done in fight, and

00:59:05.855 --> 00:59:13.742
- persuaded us to do the like. I am to tickle our noses with speargrass, and these lover our garments

00:59:13.742 --> 00:59:21.629
- with it, and pretend that it was the blood of true men. I did that I did not the seven year before.

00:59:21.629 --> 00:59:24.862
- I blushed to hear his monstrous devices.

00:59:25.762 --> 00:59:33.423
- Ah, here comes lean, Jack. Here comes bare-boned. How now, my sweet creature of bombast? How long is

00:59:33.423 --> 00:59:41.160
- it to go, Jack, that I saw their own knee eat? My own knee? I was about thy age, Al. Ah, I was not an

00:59:41.160 --> 00:59:48.745
- eagle's talent in the waist. I could have crept into any alderman's thumb ring. A plague of sighing

00:59:48.745 --> 00:59:52.158
- and grief. It blows a man up like a bladder.

00:59:55.394 --> 01:00:03.861
- villainous news abroad. Here was Sir John Bracey from your father. You must to the court in the morning.

01:00:03.861 --> 01:00:11.925
- That same mad fellow of the North, Percy, and he of Wales, uh, that gave ammo on the bastionado and

01:00:11.925 --> 01:00:20.231
- made Lucifer cuckold and swore the devil his true liegeman on the cross of a Welsh hook. Um, a plague,

01:00:20.231 --> 01:00:25.150
- what call you him? Owen Glendower. Owen, Owen, the same. And

01:00:25.410 --> 01:00:31.737
- his son-in-law Mortimer, old Northumberland, and that sprightly Scot of Scots, Douglas, that rides a

01:00:31.737 --> 01:00:38.065
- horseback up a hill perpendicular. He that rides at a high speed and with his pistol kills a sparrow

01:00:38.065 --> 01:00:44.580
- flying. There you have hit it. So did he never the sparrow. But that rascal has some good metal in him.

01:00:44.580 --> 01:00:51.221
- He will not run. How, what a rascal art thou then to praise himself for running? A horseback, you cuckoo,

01:00:51.221 --> 01:00:55.230
- but a foot? He will not budge a foot. Yes, Jack, upon instinct.

01:00:56.770 --> 01:01:04.208
- My grant ye on instincts. Well, here's thereto, and one more dake, and a thousand bluecaps more. Wooster

01:01:04.208 --> 01:01:11.434
- has stolen away tonight, and your father's beard turns white at the news. And I hear that you may buy

01:01:11.434 --> 01:01:19.155
- land as cheap as stinking mackerel. Why, the winter's like. If there come a hot June in this civil buffeting

01:01:19.155 --> 01:01:22.910
- hold, we shall buy maidenheads as they buy hogmares.

01:01:23.234 --> 01:01:32.144
- by the hundreds. Ah, by the mass, lad, you speak true. Tis like we will have good trading then.

01:01:32.144 --> 01:01:41.424
- But how? How'd that now horrible have feared? Being heir apparent, could the world have picked thee

01:01:41.424 --> 01:01:50.798
- again? Three enemies such as that fiend, Percy, that spirit, Douglas, and that devil, Glendower. Are

01:01:50.798 --> 01:01:53.118
- you not horribly afraid?

01:01:53.506 --> 01:02:01.586
- Does your blood not thrill at it? Not a whit in faith. I lack some of thy instinct. Well, you will be

01:02:01.586 --> 01:02:09.586
- horribly chid tomorrow when it comes to your father. As thou love me, let you practice an answer. Do

01:02:09.586 --> 01:02:17.745
- you stand for my father and examine me on the particulars of my life? Shall I? Content. This bed shall

01:02:17.745 --> 01:02:22.814
- be my state. This dagger my scepter, and that cushion my crown.

01:02:23.010 --> 01:02:29.150
- thy scepter is taken for a leaden dagger and thy precious gold crown for a pitiful bald crown.

01:02:52.450 --> 01:03:00.424
- the fire of grace hath not gone o'er thee. Now shalt thou be moved. Bring me a cup of sack to make my

01:03:00.424 --> 01:03:08.397
- eyes red, that it may be thought that I have wept. I will speak in passion now. I shall do it in King

01:03:08.397 --> 01:03:09.726
- Cambyses' veins.

01:03:26.082 --> 01:03:35.779
- My leg. And here is my speech. Stand aside, nobility. Oh, jesus, this is excellent sport instead.

01:03:35.779 --> 01:03:45.970
- Weep not, sweet queen, for trickling tears are vain. Oh, the father, how he holds his countenance. For

01:03:45.970 --> 01:03:54.974
- God's sake, lords, convey my tristful queen, for tears do stop the floodgates of her eyes.

01:03:56.386 --> 01:04:06.126
- He doth it as like one of these hierarchy players as ever I saw. Peace, good pint-pot. Peace,

01:04:06.126 --> 01:04:17.110
- good tickle-brain. Harry, I do not only marvel at where thou spendest thy time, but also who thou keepest

01:04:17.110 --> 01:04:25.918
- company. For though the chamomile, the more it is trodden upon, the faster it grows.

01:04:26.882 --> 01:04:38.344
- The more it is wasted, the sooner it wears. That you are my son, I have partly your mother's word, partly

01:04:38.344 --> 01:04:49.265
- my own opinion. Yet chiefly a villainous trick of thine eye and a foolish hanging of thy nether lip,

01:04:49.265 --> 01:04:56.510
- that doth warrant me. If then thou be my son, here lies the point.

01:04:56.962 --> 01:05:07.506
- If thou be my son, art thou so appointed at? Shall the blessed son of Helen prove a truant

01:05:07.506 --> 01:05:19.905
- and eat blackberries? A question not to be asked. Should the son of England prove a thief and take purses?

01:05:19.905 --> 01:05:26.046
- A question to be asked. Harry, thou knowest a thing.

01:05:26.562 --> 01:05:37.040
- that I have often heard of, that many in thy kingdom know by the name of Pitch. This Pitch, as ancient

01:05:37.040 --> 01:05:47.314
- authors report, doth defile, so doth the company that thy keep. Harry, I do not speak to thee now in

01:05:47.314 --> 01:05:56.062
- drink, but in tears, not in pleasure, but in passion, not in words only, but in woes,

01:05:58.242 --> 01:06:07.531
- And yet there is a man I have often seen in thy company, a virtuous man, though I remember not his name.

01:06:07.531 --> 01:06:16.377
- What manner of man? And it's like your majesty. A goodly, portly man, if they then are a corpulent,

01:06:16.377 --> 01:06:25.224
- of a cheerful look, a pleasing eye, and a most noble carriage, and I am... And, as I think, his age

01:06:25.224 --> 01:06:26.462
- some fifty or

01:06:27.554 --> 01:06:37.467
- by our lady inclining to three score. And now I do remember that his name is Falstaff. If this man,

01:06:37.467 --> 01:06:47.479
- lewdly given, then he deceiveth me. For Harry, there is much virtue in his looks. If the tree, then,

01:06:47.479 --> 01:06:55.806
- be known by the fruit, and the fruit by the tree, there is virtue in that Falstaff.

01:06:57.794 --> 01:07:07.929
- him keep with, the rest banish. And now tell me, thou naughty violet, how hath thou spent this month?

01:07:07.929 --> 01:07:18.065
- Dost thou speak like a king? Do you stand for me, and I'll play my father? Depose me, if thou dost it

01:07:18.065 --> 01:07:24.126
- half as gravely and as majestically in both the word and the

01:07:25.154 --> 01:07:34.258
- Bring me by the heels for a rabbit sucker, or I'll pull to his hair. Well, here am I set. And here I

01:07:34.258 --> 01:07:43.363
- stand. Judge my master. Now, Harry, whence come you? My noble lord from East Cheap. The complaints I

01:07:43.363 --> 01:07:52.918
- hear of thee are grievous. Splod, my lord, it is false. Nay, I'll tickle you for a young prince of eight.

01:07:52.918 --> 01:07:54.270
- Swearest thou?

01:07:54.370 --> 01:08:01.803
- Ungracious boy, henceforth ne'er look on me. Thou art violently carried away from grace. There is a

01:08:01.803 --> 01:08:09.830
- devil haunts thee in the likeness of an old fat man. A tend of man is thy companion. Why dost thou converse

01:08:09.830 --> 01:08:17.560
- with that trunk of humours, that bolting hutch of beastliness, that swollen parcel of dropsy, that huge

01:08:17.560 --> 01:08:23.358
- bombard of sack, that roasted, manning tree ox with the pudding in his belly,

01:08:25.698 --> 01:08:32.573
- That grey iniquity, that father ruffian, that vanity in years. Where in is he good but to taste sack

01:08:32.573 --> 01:08:39.517
- and drink it? Where in eating cleanly but to carve a capon and eat it? Where in cunning but in craft?

01:08:39.517 --> 01:08:46.597
- Where in crafty but in villainy? Where in villainous but in all things? Where in worthy but in nothing?

01:08:46.597 --> 01:08:53.881
- I would your grace would take me with you. Who means your grace? That that villainous abominable misleader

01:08:53.881 --> 01:08:55.038
- of youth. False.

01:08:58.434 --> 01:09:05.790
- I know him, my lord. I know thou dost. But if I were to say that I know more harm in him than in myself,

01:09:05.790 --> 01:09:12.867
- I would say more than I know. That he is old, his white hair doth witness it, the more the pity. But

01:09:12.867 --> 01:09:20.083
- that he is, in saving your reverence, a whoremaster, I utterly deny it. If sugar and sack are a fault,

01:09:20.083 --> 01:09:27.369
- God help the wicked. If to be old and merry is a sin, then I know many an old host that will be damned.

01:09:27.369 --> 01:09:28.350
- If to be fat,

01:09:29.346 --> 01:09:39.773
- be hated, then the pharaoh's lean kind are to be loved. My good lord, banish Pito, banish Bardolph,

01:09:39.773 --> 01:09:50.513
- banish Boynes. But sweet Jack Falstaff, kind Jack Falstaff, true Jack Falstaff, valiant Jack Falstaff,

01:09:50.513 --> 01:09:58.750
- and therefore be the more valiant that he is old Jack Falstaff, banish not him

01:09:58.978 --> 01:10:12.796
- my Harry's company. Banish not him, my Harry's company. Banish Plum Jack, and banish all the world.

01:10:12.796 --> 01:10:27.166
- I do. I will. Oh, my lord, my lord. The sheriff, the most monstrous watcher at the door. How'd you row?

01:10:27.554 --> 01:10:34.082
- Play out the play. I have more to say in behalf of this false staff. Oh, jesus, my lord, my lord. Hey,

01:10:34.082 --> 01:10:40.420
- the devil writes upon a fill stick. What's the matter? The sheriff and all the watchers at the door

01:10:40.420 --> 01:10:46.948
- there come to search the house. Shall I let them in? Thus I hear, Hal. Never call a true piece of gold

01:10:46.948 --> 01:10:53.856
- a counterfeit, for thou art essentially made without seeming so. And thou a natural coward without instinct.

01:10:53.856 --> 01:10:57.342
- I deny your major, if you deny the sheriff so. If not,

01:10:57.890 --> 01:11:07.627
- Let him enter. If I become not a cart as well as another man, a plague am I bringing up. I hope soon

01:11:07.627 --> 01:11:17.363
- as be strangled by a halter as another. Stay thee upstairs. The rest, walk without. Now, my masters,

01:11:17.363 --> 01:11:27.582
- for a true face and a clean conscience. Both have I had, but the date is out, and therefore I'll hide me.

01:11:40.866 --> 01:11:46.522
- Mr. Sheriff, what is your will with me? First pardon me, my lord. A hue and cry hath followed certain

01:11:46.522 --> 01:11:51.678
- men unto this house. What men? One of them is well known, my gracious lord, a gross fat man,

01:11:51.678 --> 01:11:57.223
- as fat as butter. The man I do assure you is not here, for I myself at this time have employed him.

01:11:57.223 --> 01:12:02.989
- And, sheriff, I will engage my word to thee that I shall by tomorrow dinnertime send him to answer thee

01:12:02.989 --> 01:12:09.310
- or any man for anything you shall be charged withal. And so that me entreat you leave the house. I will, my lord.

01:12:09.698 --> 01:12:18.254
- There are two gentlemen having this robbery lost 300 marks. It may be so. If he have robbed these men,

01:12:18.254 --> 01:12:26.145
- he shall be answerable. And so farewell. Good night, my noble lord. I think it is good morrow,

01:12:26.145 --> 01:12:34.452
- is it not? Indeed, my lord, I think it be two o'clock. This oily rascal is as well known as Paul's.

01:12:34.452 --> 01:12:36.030
- Go call him forth.

01:14:15.106 --> 01:14:21.239
- These promises are fair, the party sure, and our induction's full of hope. Lord Mortimer and Cousin

01:14:21.239 --> 01:14:26.881
- Glendower, will you sit down? And Uncle Worcester? A plague upon it. I forgot the math. No,

01:14:26.881 --> 01:14:33.014
- here it is. Sit, Cousin Percy. Sit, good Cousin Hotspur, for by that name, as oft as Lancaster does

01:14:33.014 --> 01:14:39.209
- speak of you, his cheek grows pale and with a rising sigh he wisheth you in heaven. And you in hell,

01:14:39.209 --> 01:14:43.134
- as oft as he hears Owen Glendower spoke of. I cannot blame him.

01:14:43.586 --> 01:14:48.891
- At my nativity, the front of heaven was full of fiery shapes, of burning crescents. And at my birth,

01:14:48.891 --> 01:14:54.144
- the frame and huge foundation of the earth, shaken like a coward. Why, so it would have done at the

01:14:54.144 --> 01:14:59.607
- same season if your mother's cat had but kittened. Though yourself had never been born. I say the earth

01:14:59.607 --> 01:15:04.912
- did shake when I was born. And I say the earth was not at my mind, if you suppose, as fearing you it

01:15:04.912 --> 01:15:10.165
- shook. The heavens were all on fire. The earth did tremble. Well, then the earth did tremble to see

01:15:10.165 --> 01:15:13.054
- the heavens on fire, and not in fear of your nativity.

01:15:13.922 --> 01:15:19.614
- And at drop-times breaks forth in strange eruptions, Off the teeming earth is with a kind of collic

01:15:19.614 --> 01:15:25.648
- pinched in vets By the imprisoning of unruly wind within her womb, For which enlargement's driving shakes

01:15:25.648 --> 01:15:31.454
- the bell by myrth, Top of downed steeples and moss-grown towers. At your birth, our grand damn earth,

01:15:31.454 --> 01:15:37.431
- In this distemperature, in passionship. Cousin of many men, I do not bear these crossings. Give me leave

01:15:37.431 --> 01:15:42.270
- to tell you once again That at my birth the front of heaven was full of fiery shape,

01:15:42.786 --> 01:15:49.306
- The goats ran from the mountains. The herds were strangely clamorous to the prided fields. These signs

01:15:49.306 --> 01:15:55.637
- have marked me extraordinary. And all the courses of my life do show I am not in the role of common

01:15:55.637 --> 01:16:02.283
- men. Where is he living clipped in with the sea that chides the banks of England, Scotland, Wales, which

01:16:02.283 --> 01:16:09.057
- calls me pupil, or hath read to me? And bring him out which is but woman's son can trace me in the tedious

01:16:09.057 --> 01:16:12.222
- ways of art, or hold me pace in deep experiments.

01:16:13.730 --> 01:16:19.458
- I'll say there's no man speaks better Welsh. All to dinner. Peace, cousin Percy. Thou shalt make him

01:16:19.458 --> 01:16:25.186
- mad. I can call spirits from the vasty deep. Why, so can I, or so can any man. But do they come when

01:16:25.186 --> 01:16:30.970
- you do call for them? I can teach you, cousin, to command the devil. And I can teach thee, cousin, to

01:16:30.970 --> 01:16:36.755
- shame the devil by telling truth. Tell truth and shame the devil. If you have the power to raise him,

01:16:36.755 --> 01:16:42.426
- bring him hither. I'll be sworn I have power to shame him hence. But while you live, tell truth and

01:16:42.426 --> 01:16:43.390
- shame the devil.

01:16:44.098 --> 01:16:50.071
- Come, come, no more of this unprofitable chat. Three times hath Harry Bolingbroke made head against

01:16:50.071 --> 01:16:55.626
- my power. Thrice from the banks of Wye and Sandy Bottom Severn have I sent him bootless home

01:16:55.626 --> 01:17:01.778
- and weather-beaten back. Home without foots, and in foul weather too. How scape see the aggiers in the

01:17:01.778 --> 01:17:07.870
- devil's name. Come, here is the map. Shall we divide our ride according to our threefold order, Tein?

01:17:07.870 --> 01:17:11.454
- The Archdeacon hath divided into three limits very equally.

01:17:13.730 --> 01:17:21.041
- England, from Trent and Severn hitherto, by south and east, is to my part assigned. All westward, wails

01:17:21.041 --> 01:17:28.352
- beyond the Severn shore, and all the fertile land within that bound, to Owen Glendower. And, dear Cous,

01:17:28.352 --> 01:17:35.452
- to you, the remnant northward, lying off from Trent. Our indentures, in triplicate, are drawn, which

01:17:35.452 --> 01:17:42.974
- being seal'd interchangeably, a business which this night may affect. Tomorrow, Cous and Percy, you and I,

01:17:43.490 --> 01:17:50.129
- With my good Lord Worcester, we'll meet your father in the Scottish power, as is appointed to us at

01:17:50.129 --> 01:17:56.835
- Shrewsbury. My father Glendower is not yet ready yet, nor shall we need his aid these fourteen days.

01:17:56.835 --> 01:18:03.607
- Within that span, you may gather together your tenants, friends, and neighboring gentlemen. A shorter

01:18:03.607 --> 01:18:10.513
- time shall send me to you, lords, for in my conduct shall your ladies come from whom you now must steal

01:18:10.513 --> 01:18:11.774
- and take no leave.

01:18:12.482 --> 01:18:18.248
- for there will be a world of watershed upon the parting of you and your wives. Methinks my Moitje, north

01:18:18.248 --> 01:18:23.795
- from Burton here, in quantity equals not one of yours. See how this river comes to me cranking in to

01:18:23.795 --> 01:18:29.342
- cut me from the best of all my land? A huge half-moon, a monstrous cancel-out, all at the current in

01:18:29.342 --> 01:18:34.834
- this place damned up, and the smug and silver treads shall run in the new channel, fair and evenly.

01:18:34.834 --> 01:18:40.545
- Shall not wind with such a deep indent to rob me of so rich a bottom here? Not wind, it shall, it must.

01:18:40.545 --> 01:18:41.534
- You see it, doth.

01:18:41.922 --> 01:18:48.094
- Yea, but see how it bears its course and runs me off with like advantage on the other side, gilding

01:18:48.094 --> 01:18:54.329
- the opposite continent as much as on the other side it takes from you. Yea, but a little charge will

01:18:54.329 --> 01:19:00.748
- trench him here, and on this north side win this cape of land, and then he runs straight and even. I'll

01:19:00.748 --> 01:19:07.106
- have it so. A little charge will do it. I'll not have it altered. Will not you? No, nor you shall not.

01:19:07.106 --> 01:19:11.550
- Who shall say me nay? Why, that will I. Let me not understand you then,

01:19:11.650 --> 01:19:17.911
- Speak it in Welsh. I can speak English, Lord, as well as you, for I was trained up in the English court

01:19:17.911 --> 01:19:23.930
- where, being but young, I framed to the heart many an English ditty lovely well and gave the tongue

01:19:23.930 --> 01:19:30.071
- a helpful ornament, a virtue that was never seen in you. Mary, and I am glad of it with all my heart.

01:19:30.071 --> 01:19:36.090
- I'd rather be a kitten and cry new than one of these same meat or ballad mongers. I'd rather hear a

01:19:36.090 --> 01:19:39.582
- brazen canstick turn or a dry wheel grate on an axle tree

01:19:39.906 --> 01:19:45.744
- And that would set my teeth nothing on edge, nothing so much as mincing poetry. It's like the fourth

01:19:45.744 --> 01:19:51.524
- gait of a shuffling nag. Come, you shall have your trench turned. I'd not care. I'll give Christ so

01:19:51.524 --> 01:19:57.536
- much land to any well-deserving friend, but mark you me on the way of a bargain I'll cavil on the ninth

01:19:57.536 --> 01:20:03.374
- part of a hare. Are the indentures drawn? Shall we be gone? The moon is fair. You may away by night.

01:20:03.374 --> 01:20:07.998
- I'll haste the rider, and withal break with your wives of your departure hence.

01:20:09.346 --> 01:20:15.927
- I am afraid my daughter will run mad. So much she doteth on her Mortimer. Fie, cousin Percy, how you

01:20:15.927 --> 01:20:22.574
- do cross my father? I cannot choose. Sometimes he angers me by telling me of the moldwarp, an ant, of

01:20:22.574 --> 01:20:29.481
- the dreamer Merlin and his prophecies, of a dragon and a finless fish, a clip-winged griffin and a molten

01:20:29.481 --> 01:20:36.063
- raven, a couching lion and a ramping cat, and such a deal of skimble-skamble stuff that puts me from

01:20:36.063 --> 01:20:37.822
- my faith. I tell you what.

01:20:38.082 --> 01:20:44.642
- He held me last night at least nine hours in reckoning up the several devil's names that were his lackeys.

01:20:44.642 --> 01:20:51.141
- I cried hum and, well, go to, but marked him not a word. Oh, he is as tedious as a tired horse, a railing

01:20:51.141 --> 01:20:57.333
- wife, worse than a smoky house. I had rather live with cheese and garlic in a windmill far than feed

01:20:57.333 --> 01:21:03.770
- on Cates and have him talk to me in any summer house in Christendom. By faith, he is a worthy gentleman,

01:21:03.770 --> 01:21:07.326
- exceedingly well-read and practiced in dark concealments.

01:21:07.778 --> 01:21:15.178
- as valiant as any lion, and wondrous affable, and as bountiful as the mines of India. So I tell you,

01:21:15.178 --> 01:21:22.652
- cousin, he holds your temper in a high respect, and curves himself even of his natural scope when you

01:21:22.652 --> 01:21:30.199
- do cross him. Faith he does! I warrant you, there's not a man alive could have tempted him as you have

01:21:30.199 --> 01:21:37.086
- done, and not tasted danger or reproof. Do not use it off. I entreat thee. In faith, my lord.

01:21:37.794 --> 01:21:47.261
- You are, too, willful blame. And since coming hither have done enough to put him quite beside his patience,

01:21:47.261 --> 01:21:56.027
- you must needs learn, Lord, to amend this fault. Though sometime it show greatness, courage, blood,

01:21:56.027 --> 01:22:05.407
- and that's the dearest grace it renders you. Yet oftentimes it doth present harsh rage, defective manners,

01:22:05.407 --> 01:22:07.774
- want of government, pride,

01:22:08.098 --> 01:22:16.152
- haughtiness, opinion, and disdain, the least of which haunting a nobleman loses men's hearts and leaves

01:22:16.152 --> 01:22:23.586
- behind a stain upon the beauty of which all parts besides beguiling them of commendation. Well,

01:22:23.586 --> 01:22:31.407
- I am schooled. Good manners be your speed. Let's to our wives and take our leave. I know not whether

01:22:31.407 --> 01:22:36.286
- God will have it so, for some displeasing service I have done.

01:22:36.610 --> 01:22:43.790
- That in his secret doom out of my blood he'll weed revengement and a scourge for me. But in thy passages

01:22:43.790 --> 01:22:50.628
- of life thou dost make me think thou art only marked for the hot vengeance and the rod of heaven to

01:22:50.628 --> 01:22:57.398
- punish my mistreadings. Tell me else, could such inordinate and low desires, such poor, such bare,

01:22:57.398 --> 01:22:59.518
- such lewd, such mean attempts,

01:22:59.618 --> 01:23:05.016
- such barren pleasures, rude societies, thou art matched with all, and grafted to accompany the greatness

01:23:05.016 --> 01:23:10.209
- of thy blood, and hold there level with thy princely heart. So please, your majesty, I would I could

01:23:10.209 --> 01:23:15.351
- quit all offences with this clear excuse, as well as I am doubtless I can purge myself of many I am

01:23:15.351 --> 01:23:20.646
- charged with all. That such extenuation let me beg, as in reproof of many tales devised, which oft the

01:23:20.646 --> 01:23:25.942
- error of greatness needs must hear by smiling pick-thanks and base news-mongers, I may for some things

01:23:25.942 --> 01:23:29.438
- true wherein my youth hath faulty wandered into regular fun pardon,

01:23:29.698 --> 01:23:36.855
- on my true submission. God pardon me! Let me wonder, Harriet, thy affections, which do hold a wing quite

01:23:36.855 --> 01:23:43.875
- from the flight of all thy ancestors. Thy place in counsel thou hast rudely lost, which by thy younger

01:23:43.875 --> 01:23:50.759
- brother is supplied, and art almost an alien to the hearts of all court and princes of my blood. The

01:23:50.759 --> 01:23:57.915
- hope and expectation of thy time is ruined, and the soul of every man do prophetically forfeit thy fall.

01:23:57.915 --> 01:23:59.006
- Had I so lavish

01:24:02.306 --> 01:24:09.766
- so stale and cheap to vulgar company. Opinion that did help me to the crown had still kept Boyle to

01:24:09.766 --> 01:24:17.376
- possess in, and left me in refuteless banishment, a fellow of no mark nor likelihood. By being seldom

01:24:17.376 --> 01:24:24.463
- seen, I could not stir but like a comet I was wondered at. That men would tell their children,

01:24:24.463 --> 01:24:31.774
- this is he. Others would say, where? Which is Bolingbroke? Then I stole all courtesy from heaven,

01:24:33.858 --> 01:24:42.383
- that I did pluck allegiance from men's hearts, lounge outs and salutations from their mouths even in

01:24:42.383 --> 01:24:50.908
- the presence of a crowned king. But thus did I keep my person fresh and new, my presence like a rope

01:24:50.908 --> 01:24:59.349
- on typical Nersene that wondered at. And so my state, seldom but sumptuous, showed like a feast and

01:24:59.349 --> 01:25:00.446
- won by rave.

01:25:04.322 --> 01:25:12.054
- Skipping King, he ambled up and down with shallow jesters and rash babing with soon-kindled and soon-buried.

01:25:12.054 --> 01:25:17.374
- Carved at his feet, mingled his royalty with capering fools, had his great

01:25:35.906 --> 01:25:43.992
- self to popularity, that being daily swallowed by men's eyes, they surfeited with honey, and began to

01:25:43.992 --> 01:25:52.156
- loathe the taste of sweetness, whereof a little more than a little is by much too much. So when he had

01:25:52.156 --> 01:26:00.163
- occasion to be seen, he was but as was Kyoku years in June. Heard, not regarded, seen, but with such

01:26:00.163 --> 01:26:04.126
- eyes as sick and blunted with community afford no

01:26:07.298 --> 01:26:15.605
- on sunlight majesty when it shined seldom in admiring eyes, but rather drowsed and hung where I with

01:26:15.605 --> 01:26:24.077
- doubt slept in his face and rendered such aspect as cloudy men do to their adversaries, being with his

01:26:24.077 --> 01:26:32.549
- presence rotted, gorged, and full. And in that very line, Harry, standest thou, for thou hast lost thy

01:26:32.549 --> 01:26:36.990
- princely privilege through vile participation, not an

01:26:37.570 --> 01:26:44.355
- What is weary of thy common sight save mine, Which hath desired to see thee more? Which now does that,

01:26:44.355 --> 01:26:51.207
- I would not have it do, Make blind itself with foolish tenderness. I will hereafter, my thrice-gracious

01:26:51.207 --> 01:26:57.926
- lord, be more myself. For all the world art thou to this hour as Richard, Then when I from France set

01:26:57.926 --> 01:27:04.646
- foot at Ravensburg, And even as I was then is Percy now, Now by my sector and my soul to boot he hath

01:27:04.646 --> 01:27:06.622
- more Worthy interest to stay.

01:27:06.850 --> 01:27:14.810
- now the shadow of success in, for by no right nor color light to write. He fills the field with harness

01:27:14.810 --> 01:27:22.770
- and a bell, turns head against the lion's armored jaws, and be no more in debt to years than now, leads

01:27:22.770 --> 01:27:30.807
- ancient lords and reverend bishops on to bloody battles and to bruising arms. Thrice hath this hot spur,

01:27:30.807 --> 01:27:36.318
- this maus in swaddling clothes, this infant warrior in his enterprises,

01:27:37.698 --> 01:27:45.700
- and made a friend of him to fill the mouth of deep defiance up and shape the peace and safety of our

01:27:45.700 --> 01:27:53.623
- throne. And what think you of this? Percy, Northumberland, the archbishop's duke of York, Mortimer,

01:27:53.623 --> 01:28:01.547
- Douglas capitulate against us and all up. But wherefore do I tell this snooze to thee? Why, hey, do

01:28:01.547 --> 01:28:06.142
- I tell thee of my foes who are my nearest and my dearest?

01:28:10.082 --> 01:28:17.352
- their base inclination and the start of spleen, to fight against me under Percy's pain, to dark his

01:28:17.352 --> 01:28:24.767
- heels and curtsy at his frowns, to prove how much thou art degenerate. Do not think so. You shall not

01:28:24.767 --> 01:28:32.254
- find it so. God forgive them that so much has swayed your majesty's good thoughts away from me. I will

01:28:32.254 --> 01:28:39.742
- redeem all this on Percy's head, and in the closing of some glorious day be bold to tell you that I am

01:28:42.562 --> 01:28:48.569
- seeing my favours in a bloody mask, which, washed away, shall scour my shame with it. And that shall

01:28:48.569 --> 01:28:54.933
- be the day when Ereth lights, this same child of honour and renown, this gallant Hotspur, this all-praised

01:28:54.933 --> 01:29:01.000
- knight, and your unthought of Harry a chance to meet. For every honour sitting on his helm, but there

01:29:01.000 --> 01:29:07.067
- were multitudes, and on my head my shames were doubled. For the time will come that I shall make this

01:29:07.067 --> 01:29:10.814
- northern youth exchange his glorious deeds for my indignation.

01:29:13.922 --> 01:29:20.021
- to engross up glorious deeds on my behalf, and I shall call him to so strictly count that he will render

01:29:20.021 --> 01:29:25.830
- every glory up, yea, even the slightest worship of his time, and I will tear the reckoning from his

01:29:25.830 --> 01:29:31.872
- heart. In the name of God, I promise you, that which, if he be pleased, I shall perform, and do beseech

01:29:31.872 --> 01:29:37.739
- your majesty may solve the long-grown wounds of my intemperance. If not, the end of life cancels all

01:29:37.739 --> 01:29:42.270
- bans, and I will die a hundred thousand deaths, and break the smallest parcel

01:29:46.754 --> 01:30:01.392
- Hundred thousand rebels die in this. Thou shalt have charge and sovereign trust herein. I'll now,

01:30:01.392 --> 01:30:14.686
- good one, thy looks are full of speed. And so hath the business that I come to speak of.

01:30:14.786 --> 01:30:20.892
- Lord Mortimer of Scotland hath sent word that Douglas and the English rebels met the 11th of this month

01:30:20.892 --> 01:30:27.174
- in Shrewsbury. How mighty and fearsome head they are! If promises be kept, on every hand, has ever offered

01:30:27.174 --> 01:30:33.339
- foul play in the state. The Earl of Westmoreland set forth the day within my son Lord John of Lancaster,

01:30:33.339 --> 01:30:39.210
- for this investment is five days old. On Wednesday next, Harry, you shall set forward. On Thursday,

01:30:39.210 --> 01:30:43.966
- we ourselves will march. Our meeting is bridge north, and Harry, you shall march

01:30:44.706 --> 01:30:50.455
- for which by accounts are business valued, and twelve days hence our general forces at Bridge North

01:30:50.455 --> 01:30:56.318
- shall meet. Our hands are full of business, let's away, and back it sheets in fact, for I'm in delay.
