[Enter HOTSPUR, WORCESTER, MORTIMER, and GLENDOWER]
MORTIMER
, ,
, ,
,
These prom|ises | are fair,| the part|ies sure,
,
, , , 2 ,
And our | induc|tion full | of pros|perous hope.
HOTSPUR
, ,
, , ,
Lord^Mort|imer,| and cous|in Glen|dower,
,
,
Will you | sit down? \\
, , ,
, ,
And unc|le Worce|ster; a | plague u|pon it,
??
, ,
,
I have | forgot | the map.
GLENDOWER
, ,
No, here / it is:
T Tx T
, x ,
Sit cousin Per|cy, sit | good cousin | Hotspur:
, ,
, ,
, ,
,
For by | that name,| as oft | as Lan|caster doth
speak of you, ????
. T T
T , , , ????
His cheeks look pale,|
and with | a ris|ing sigh,
, ,
x
He wish|eth you | in heaven. \\
HOTSPUR
And you in hell, as oft as he hears Owen Glendower spoke of.
GLENDOWER
,
, , , , 2
I can|not blame | him: at / my na|tivity,
, x
, ,
,
The front | of heaven | was full | of fie|ry
shapes,
,
, ,
T T T
Of burn|ing cres|sets: and | at my birth,
, ,
, ,
,
The frame | and huge | founda|tion of | the earth
,
, ,
Shaked | like a | coward. \\
HOTSPUR
Why so it would have done at the same season, if your mother's cat had but
kittened, though yourself had never been born.
GLENDOWER
,
, ,
, ,
I say | the earth | did shake | when I | was
born.
HOTSPUR
, ,
, ,
,
And I | say the | earth was | not of | my mind,
,
, ,
, ,
If you | suppose | as fear|ing you | it shook.
GLENDOWER
x ,
, , x
The heavens | were all | on fire,| the earth |
did tremble.
HOTSPUR
,
, ,
Oh, then | the earth | shook
<- ,
x ,
To || see the | heavens on | fire,
(tri with prev) ??
,
, , ,
,
And not | in fear | of your | nati|vity.
,
, , T
T T
Diseased | nature | often|times breaks forth
,
, , ,
,
In strange | erup|tions; and | the teem|ing earth
,
, ,
, ,
Is with | a kind | of col|ic pinched | and vexed,
, 2 ,
, , ,
By the im|prison|ing of / unru|ly wind
, ,
, 2 ,
,
Within | her womb:| which for en|largement |
striving,
, 2
T T T ,
,
Shakes the old | beldam earth,| and tum|bles down
,
. T T
T , ,
Steeples,| and moss-grown tow|ers. At | your
birth,
,
, , 2
, 2 ,
Our gran|dam* earth,| having | this
distemp|erature,
,
,
In pas|sion shook.
GLENDOWER
, , ,
Cousin,| of ma|ny men
,
, , ,
,
I do | not bear | these cros|sings. Give | me
leave
, ,
, , ,
To tell | you once | again,| that at | my birth
,
x ,
, ,
The front | of heaven | was full | of fie|ry
shapes,
, ,
, , ,
The goats | ran from | the mount|ains, and | the
herds
,
, 2 , , ,
Were strange|ly clam|orous to | the fright|ed
fields:
, ,
, , x
These signs | have marked | me ex|traord|inary,
, ,
, ,
,
And all | the cours|es of | my life | do show,
, ,
, ,
,
I am | not in | the roll | of com|mon men.
,
, , ,
,
Where is | he liv|ing, clipped | in with | the
sea,
, ,
, , 2 ,
That chides | the banks | of Eng|land, Scot|land,
and Wales,
, ,
, , ,
Which calls | me pup|il, or | hath read | to me?
, ,
, ,
,
And bring | him out,| that is | but wom|an's son,
, ,
, 2 ,
,
Can trace | me in | the ted|ious ways | of art,
, ,
, , ,
And hold | me pace | in deep | exper|iments.
HOTSPUR
, , T
T T ,
I think | there's no | man speaks bet|ter Welsh:
,
,
I'll to | dinner. \\
MORTIMER
T Tx
T , ,
,
Peace cousin Per|cy, you | will make | him mad.
GLENDOWER
, ,
, ,
,
I can / call spir|its from | the vas|ty deep.
HOTSPUR
,
, ,
, ,
Why so | can I,| or so | can an|y man:
, ,
, ,
,
But will | they come,| when you | do call | for
them?
GLENDOWER
,
, x
2 , x
Why, I | can teach | thee, cousin,| to command |
the devil.
HOTSPUR
, ,
x , x
And I | can teach | thee, cousin,| to shame | the
devil,
,
, T T .
T x
By tel|ling truth.| Tell truth, and shame | the
devil.
, 2 x
, ,
,
If thou have | power to | raise him,| bring him |
hither,
, , 2
x , ,
And I'll | be sworn,| I have power | to shame |
him hence.

T T . T

Oh,^while | you live,| tell truth, and shame |
the devil.
MORTIMER

Come, come, no | more of this | unprof|itable
chat.
GLENDOWER

Three* times | hath Hen|ry Bol|ingbroke |
made^head
, x
, ,
,
Against | my power:| thrice from | the banks | of
Wye,

->
And san|dy-bot|tomed Sev|ern, have | I sent ||
him

Boot|less home,| and weath|er-beat|en back.
HOTSPUR

Home with|out boots,

And in / foul weath|er too,

How scapes | he ag|ues in | the dev|il's name?
GLENDOWER
T T

Come, here's the map:

Shall we | divide | our
right,

Accord|ing to | our three|fold^ord|er tane?
MORTIMER
,

__
The arch|deacon | hath di|vided | it ??
, , , , ,
Into / three lim|its, ve|ry eq|ually:
,
, , ,
,
England,| from Trent,| and Sev|ern, hith|erto,
, ,
, ,
,
By south | and east,| is to | my part | assigned:
, ,

,
All west|ward, Wales,| beyond | the Sev|ern
shore,

And all | the fert|ile land | within | that
bound,
,

,
To Ow|en Glen|dower: and | dear* coz,| to you
,

The rem|nant north|ward, ly|ing off | from Trent.

And our | inden|tures tri|partite | are drawn:

Which being sealed | inter|changea|bly, ??

(A bus|iness that | this night | may ex|ecute)
,

Tomor|row, cous|in Per|cy, you | and I,

And my | good* Lord | of Worce|ster, will / set
forth,
, ,

To meet | your fath|er, and | the Scot|tish
power,

As is | appoint|ed us | at Shrews|bury.
,

My fath|er Glen|dower is | not ready^yet,

Nor shall | we need | his help | these
four|teen^days:
, , ,

Within | that space,| you may | have drawn |
togeth||er
, , ,
2 , ,
Your ten|ants, friends,| and neigh|boring
gent|lemen.
GLENDOWER
, ,
, ,
,
A short|er time | shall send | me to | you,
lords:
, , ,
, ,
And in | my con|duct shall | your lad|ies come,
,
, , ,
,
From whom | you now | must steal,| and take | no
leave,
, ,
, , ,
For there | will be | a world | of wat|er shed,
,
, , ,
,
Upon | the part|ing of | your wives | and you.
HOTSPUR

, ,
,
Methinks | my moie|ty, north | from Bur|ton here,

In quan|tity | equals | not one | of yours:

, , ,

See, how | this riv|er comes | me crank|ing in,
,
, , ,
,
And cuts | me from | the best | of all | my land,
. T T T , , ,
A huge half-moon,| a monst|rous cant|le out,
, 2
, ,
T T T
I'll have the | current | in this | place dammed
up,
, ,

,
And here | the smug | and silv|er Trent | shall
run,
, ,

In a / new chan|nel, fair | and ev|enly:
. T T T
, ,
,
It shall not wind | with such | a deep |
indent,
,
, , ,

To rob | me of / so rich | a bot|tom here.
GLENDOWER

, ,
,
Not wind?| It shall,| it must,| you see | it
doth.
MORTIMER
,
, ,
,
Yea, but | mark how | he bears | his course,
<- ,
, ,
, 3 3 ,

And runs || me up,| with like |
advant|age on the oth|er side,
,
2 , ,

Gelding | the oppos|ed cont|inent | as much,
, ,
, ,
,
As on | the oth|er side | it takes | from you.
EARL OF WORCESTER
,
, ,

Yea, but | a lit|tle charge | will trench | him
here,
, 2
T T T ,
,
And on this | north side win | this cape | of
land,

oo
And then | he runs | straight and | even.|
HOTSPUR

I'll have | it so,| a lit|tle charge | will do
it.
GLENDOWER

I'll not | have it | altered.
HOTSPUR

Will not you?
GLENDOWER
T T T T

No, nor you | shall not.
HOTSPUR

Who | shall say || me nay?
GLENDOWER

Why, that | will I.
HOTSPUR

Let me not || under|stand you | then, speak /
it in | Welsh.
GLENDOWER
, , , ,
,
I can / speak Eng|lish, lord,| as well | as you:
, ,
, , ,
For I | was trained | up in | the Eng|lish court:
, ,
, , ,
Where, be/ing but | young, I | framed to | the
harp
,
, , ,
,
Many | an Eng|lish dit|ty, love|ly well,
, ,
, , ,
And gave | the tongue | a help|ful orn|ament;
,
, ,
, ,
A vir|tue that | was nev|er seen | in you.
HOTSPUR
, , 2
, 2 , ,
Marry,| and I am | glad of it | with all | my
heart,
2 ,
, ,
, ,
I had rath|er be | a kit|ten, and / cry mew,
, 2
, , ,
,
Than one | of these same-|meter |
ballad-|mongers:
2 , ,
, x ,
I had rath|er hear | a braz|en candle|stick*
turned,
, ,
, ,
,
Or a / dry wheel | grate on | the ax|le-tree,
, ,
, ,
,
And that | would set | my teeth | nothing | on
edge,
, ,
, , ,
Nothing | so much,| as min|cing po|etry;
, ,
, ,
,
'Tis like | the forced | gait of | a shuf|fling
nag.
GLENDOWER

Come,| you shall | have Trent turned.|
HOTSPUR

I do | not* care:| I'll give | thrice so | much
land

To an|y well-|deserv|ing friend;|

But in | the way | of bar|gain, mark | ye me,
, ,

I'll cav|il on | the ninth | part of | a hair.

GLENDOWER

The moon shines fair,

you may | away | by night:

I'll haste | the writ|er; and | withal,|
,

Break with | your wives,| of your | depart|ure
hence:

I am | afraid | my daught|er will / run mad,

Fie, cousin Per|cy, how | you cross | my
fath||er.
HOTSPUR

, , ,
I can|not choose:| sometime | he ang|ers me,
, ,
, , 2 ,
With tel|ling me | of the / moldwarp | and the
ant,
2 ,
, , , ,
Of the dream|er Mer|lin, and | his proph|ecies;
, ,
, , ,
And of | a drag|on, and | a fin|less fish,
. T T
Tx , ,
,
A clip-winged griffin,| and a | molten | raven,
, ,
, ,
,
A couch|ing li|on, and | a ramp|ing cat,
,

And such | a deal | of skim|ble-skam|ble stuff,
,
, ,
, ,
As puts | me from | my faith,| I tell | you what,
,
, ,
T T T
He held | me last | night, at | least nine hours,
, 2 , , ,
,
In reck|oning up | the seve|ral dev|ils' names,
, 2 ,
That were his | lackeys: \\
, ,
, ,
I cried | hum, and | well, go | to,
<- ,
T . T T

But | marked him || not a word. O,| he is
| as
ted||ious

As a / tired horse,| a rail|ing wife,

Worse than | a smo|ky house.| I had rath|er live
,
, , ,

With cheese | and garl|ic in a // windmill far,
,
, , ,
,
Than feed | on cates | and have | him talk | to
me,
, , ,

In an|y sum|mer-house | in Christ|endom.
MORTIMER
,
, ,
, ,
In faith | he was | a worth|y gent|leman,
,
, , ,
,
Exceed|ingly / well read,| and prof|ited,
,
,
In strange | conceal|ments: \\
,
2 x 2
, , ,
Valiant | as a lion,| and wondros|us af|fable,
,
, , ,
, 2
And as | bounti|ful, as | mines of | India.
, ,
,
Shall I | tell you,|
cousin, \\
, ,
, ,
,
He holds | your temp|er in | a high | respect,
, ,
, 2 ,
,
And curbs | himself,| even | of his na|tural
scope,
,
, , ,
,
When you / come 'cross | his hum|or: faith | he
does.
,
, , ,
,
I war|rant you,| that man | is not | alive,
,
, ,

Might* so | have tempt|ed him,| as you | have
done,
, ,
, ,
,
Without | the taste | of dang|er, and | reproof:
,
, , ,
2 ,
But do | not use | it oft,| let me en|treat you.
EARL OF WORCESTER
, , ,
, ,
In faith,| my lord,| you are | too*
wil|ful-blame,
, ,
, 2 ,
,
And since | your com|ing hith|er, have done |
enough,
, ,
, ,
,
To put | him quite | beside | his pa|tience.
,
, , ,
,
You must / needs learn,| lord, to | amend
| this fault:
, ,
, ,
,
Though some|times it / show great|ness, cour|age,
blood,
, ,
, ,
,
And that's | the dear|est grace | it rend|ers
you;
, ,
, ,
,
Yet of|tentimes | it doth | present | harsh^rage,
??
T T . T
, ,
,
Defect of man|ners, want | of gov|ernment,
, ,
, ,
,
Pride, haught/iness,| opin|ion, and | disdain:
, ,
, , ,
The least | of which,| haunting | a nob|leman,
, T
T . T

Loseth | men's hearts, and leaves | behind | a
stain
,

Upon | the beaut|y of / all parts | besides,

Beguil|ing them | of com|menda|tion.
HOTSPUR

Well, I | am schooled:

Good man|ners be |
your speed;

Here come | our wives,| and let | us take | our
leave.
[Enter GLENDOWER with the ladies]
MORTIMER

This is | the dead|ly spite,| that ang|ers me,

My wife | can speak | no Eng|lish, I | no Welsh.
GLENDOWER

My daught|er weeps,| she will / not part | with
