[Enter HOTSPUR, WORCESTER, DOUGLAS, and VERNON]
HOTSPUR
, ,
,
We'll fight | with him | tonight.
EARL OF WORCESTER
, ,
It may | not be.
EARL OF DOUGLAS
, ,
2 ,
You give | him then | the advant|age.
VERNON
, ,
Not | a whit.
HOTSPUR
, ,
, ,
,
Why say | you so?| Looks he | not for | supply?
VERNON
2 ,
So do we.
HOTSPUR
,
, ,
,
His is | certain,| ours is |
doubtful.
EARL OF WORCESTER
, ,
, ,
,
Good* cous|in be | advised,| stir* not | tonight.
VERNON
, ,
Do not,| my lord.
EARL OF DOUGLAS
, ,
,
You do | not couns|el well:
,
, , ,
___
You speak | it out | of fear,| and cold | heart.
VERNON
, ,
, ,
,
Do me | no sland|er, Doug|las: by | my life,
, ,
, ,
,
And I / dare well | maintain | it with | my life,
, ,
, ,
,
If well-|respect|ed hon|or bid | me on,
,
, ,
, ,
I hold | as lit|tle couns|el with / weak fear,
, , , ,
, , ->
As you,| my lord,| or an|y Scot | that this ||
day* lives.
, 2
, , ,
, ->
Let it be | seen to|morrow | in the || battle,
,
,
Which of | us fears.
EARL OF DOUGLAS
, ,
Yea, or | tonight.
VERNON
,
Content.
HOTSPUR
, ,
Tonight,| say I.
VERNON
__
__ , , ->
Come,| come,|| it may | not be.
, , ,
, T T
T , ,
I wond|er much,| being || men of | such great
lead|ing as | you are
, ,
, ,
,
That you | foresee | not what | imped|iments
T T .
T , ,
,
Drag back our^ex|pedi|tion: cert|ain horse
2 , , , ,
,
Of my cous|in Vern|on's are / not yet | come^up,
, , , , ,
Your unc|le Worce|ster's horse | came^but |
today,
, ,
, , ,
And now | their pride | and met|tle is | asleep,
,
, , ,
,
Their cour|age with / hard lab|or tame | and
dull,
, ,
, , 2 ,
That not | a horse | is half | the half | of
himself.
HOTSPUR
,
, ,
, ,
So are | the hors|es of | the en|emy
, ,
, , ,
In gene|ral journ|ey-bat|ed, and / brought low:
,
, ,
, ,
The bet|ter part | of ours | are full | of rest.
EARL OF WORCESTER
, ,
, ,
,
The num|ber of | the king | exceed|eth ours:
,
T Tx T ,
,
For God's | sake, cousin, stay | till all |
come^in.
[The trumpet sounds a parley. Enter SIR WALTER BLUNT]
SIR WALTER BLUNT
, ,
, ,
,
I come | with gra|cious of|fers from | the king,
, ,
, ,
,
If you / vouchsafe | me hear|ing, and | respect.
HOTSPUR
, ,
,
Welcome,| Sir Walt|er Blunt:
<- , , , , ,
, ,
And would | to God || you were | of our
| deter|mina|tion.
, ,
, x
,
Some of | us love | you well:| and even |
those^some
, ,
,
, ,
Envy | your great | deserv|ings, and / good name,
, ,
, , ,
Because | you are | not of | our qual|ity,
,
, , ,
,
But stand | against | us like | an en|emy.
SIR WALTER BLUNT
x
, ,
, ,
And heaven | defend,| but still | I should /
stand so,
, ,
, , ,
So long | as out | of lim|it, and / true rule,
, ,
, , ,
You stand | against | anoint|ed maj|esty.
,
,
But to | my charge.
, ,
,
The king | hath sent | to
know
,
, , , ,
The na|ture of | your griefs,| and where|upon
,
, ,
, ,
You con|jure from | the breast | of civ|il peace,
, ,
, , ,
2 , ->
Such bold | hostil|ity,| teaching | his du||teous
land
, ,
, 2 ,
Auda|cious cruel|ty. If | that the king
, , ,
, ,
Have an|y way | your good | deserts | forgot,
,
, ,
, ,
Which he | confes|seth to | be man|ifold,
, ,
, , ,
He bids | you name | your griefs,| and with / all
speed
,
, ,
, ,
You shall | have your | desires | with int|erest;
, ,
, 2 ,
,
And pard|on abs|olute | for yourself,| and these,
, ,
, , ,
Herein | misled,| by your | sugges|tion.
HOTSPUR
, ,
The king | is kind:
, ,
,
and well | we know,| the
king
,
, , ,
,
Knows at | what time | to prom|ise, when | to
pay.
, , ,
T T T
My fath|er, my | uncle,| and myself,
,
, , , ,
Did give | him that / same roy|alty | he wears:
,
, , , ,
And when | he was / not six | and twen|ty strong,
,
, , ,
,
Sick in | the world's | regard,| wretched,| and
low,
, x
T T T
,
A poor | unminded | outlaw, snea|king home,
??
, , ,
, ,
My fath|er gave | him wel|come to | the shore:
, ,
, ,
,
And when | he heard | him swear,| and vow | to
God,
, ,
, ,
,
He came | but to | be Duke | of Lan|caster,
, ,
, ,
,
To sue | his liv|ery,| and beg | his peace,
,
, 2 , ,
,
With tears | of in|nocency,| and terms | of zeal;
,
, , ,
,
My fath|er, in / kind heart | and pi|ty moved,
,
, , ,
,
Swore him | assist|ance, and | performed | it
too.
,
, ,
, ,
Now, when | the lords | and bar|ons of | the
realm
, ,
, , ,
Perceived | Northum|berland | did lean | to him,
, ,
, ,
,
The more | and less | came^in | with cap | and
knee,
,
, , ,
,
Met him | in bor|oughs, cit|ies, vil|lages,
,
, ,
, ,
Attend|ed him | on brid|ges, stood | in lanes,
T T
. T , ,
,
Laid gifts before | him, prof|fered him | their
oaths,
,
, ,
, ,
Gave him | their heirs,| as pag|es fol|lowed him,
x
, ,
, ,
Even at | the heels,| in gold|en mult|itudes.
,
, , ,
,
He pres|ently,| as great|ness knows | itself,
,
, ,
, ,
Steps me | a lit|tle high|er than | his vow
,
, , ,
,
Made to | my fath|er, while | his blood | was
poor,
,
, ,
, ,
Upon | the nak|ed shore | at Rav|enspurgh:
, ,
T T T 2 ,
And now |(forsooth)| takes on him | to reform
,
, , ,
,
Some cert|ain e|dicts,^and | some strait |
decrees,
, ,
, , ,
That lay | too hea/vy on | the com|monwealth;
T T . T
, ,
,
Cries out upon | abus|es, seems | to weep
, ,
, ,
,
Over | his count|ry's wrongs:| and by | this
face,
, ,
, , ,
This seem|ing brow | of just|ice, did | he win
,
, , ,
,
The hearts | of all | that he | did ang|le for.
, ,
, ,
,
Proceed|ed furth|er, cut | me off | the heads
,
, 2 ,
, ,
Of all | the fav|orites, that | the ab|sent king
, ,
, ,
,
In dep|uta|tion left | behind | him here,
,
, 2 , ,
,
When he | was pers|onal in | the Ir|ish war.
SIR WALTER BLUNT
, T
T . T
Tut, I | came not to hear | this.
HOTSPUR
, 2 ,
Then | to the point.
, ,
, , ,
In short | time^aft|er, he | deposed | the king.
, ,
, ,
,
Soon^aft|er that,| deprived | him of | his life:
,
, ,
T . T T
And in | the neck | of that,| tasked the whole
state.
. T T T
, ,
,
To make that worse,| suffered | his kins|man
March,
T T T ,
, ,
Who is, if | every | owner | were placed,
, ,
, ,
,
Indeed | his king,| to be | engaged | in Wales,
,
, , , ,
There, with|out rans/om, to | lie for/feited:
, ,
, , ,
Disgraced | me in | my hap|py vic|tories,
,
, ,
, ,
Sought to | entrap | me by | intel|ligence,
,
, , ,
,
Rated | my unc|le from | the coun|cil-board,
, ,
, ,
,
In rage | dismissed | my fath|er from | the
court,
,
, ,
, ,
Broke^oath | on^oath,| commit|ted wrong | on
wrong,
,
, ,
, ,
And in | conclu|sion, drove | us to / seek out
,
, ,
, ,
This head | of safe|ty; and | withal,| to pry
, 2 ,
, T T
Into his | title:| the which | we find
<- T , ,
, , __
Too || indi|rect, for | long con|tinu|ance.
SIR WALTER BLUNT
,
, , ,
,
Shall I | return | this ans|wer to | the king?
HOTSPUR
, ,
Not so,| Sir Walt|er.
, ,
,
We'll | withdraw | awhile:
, ,
, , ,
Go to | the king,| and let | there be | impawned
,
, ,
, ,
Some sure|ty for | a safe | return | again,
, 2
, ,
, ,
And in the | morning | early | shall my | uncle
,
, ,
, ,
Bring him | our pur|poses:| and so | farewell.
SIR WALTER BLUNT
, ,
, ,
,
I would | you would | accept | of grace | and
love.
HOTSPUR
2 ,
, ,
And it may | be, so | we shall.
SIR WALTER BLUNT
x
,
Pray* heaven | you do.
