[Enter NORTHUMBERLAND, LADY NORTHUMBERLAND, and LADY PERCY]
NORTHUMBERLAND
,
, ,
x ,
I prith|ee lov|ing wife,| and gentle | daughter,
T . Tx T ,
, ,
Give an even way | unto | my rough | affairs:
??
,
, , , ,
Put not^|you on | the vis|age of | the times,
, T T . T , ,
And be | like them to Per|cy, troub|lesome.
LADY NORTHUMBERLAND
. T Tx T
, ,
,
I have given ov|er, I | will speak | no more,
,
, , ,
,
Do what | you will:| your wis|dom, be | your
guide.
NORTHUMBERLAND
, ,
, ,
,
Alas |(sweet* wife)| my hon|or is | at pawn,
, ,
, ,
x
And but | my go|ing, noth|ing can | redeem it.
LADY PERCY
,
x ,
, ,
O yet,| for heaven's | sake, go | not to | these
wars:
, , ,
, ,
The time | was (fath/er) that | you broke | your
word,
, ,
, ,
,
When you | were more | endeared | to it,| than
now,
2 ,
, , ,
,
When your own | Percy,| when my / heart-dear |
Harry,
, 2
, , ,
, ->
Threw* ma|ny a north|ward look,| to see | his
fath||er
,
2 x ,
, ,
Bring | up his powers:| but he | did long | in
vain.
,
, ,
, ,
Who then | persuad|ed you | to stay | at home?
, , ,
,
,
There were / two hon|ors lost;| yours, and | your
son's.
,
x
, ,
,
For yours,| may heaven|ly glo|ry bright|en it:
, ,
, ,
,
For his,| it stuck | upon | him, as | the sun
, ,
x ,
,
In the / grey vault | of heaven:| and by | his
light
,
, , ,
,
Did all | the chiv|alry | of Eng|land move
, T
T T 2 ,
,
To do | brave acts. he | was (indeed)| the glass
,
, , ,
,
Wherein | the nob|le youth | did dress |
themselves.
, ,
, ,
,
He had | no legs,| that prac|ticed not | his
gait:
, ,
, ,
, 2->
And speak|ing thick |(which na|ture made | his
ble||mish)
, , ,
, ,
Became | the ac|cents of | the val|iant.
, ,
T T . T ,
For those | that could | speak low, and tar|dily,
, ,
, , ,
Would turn | their own | perfec|tion, to | abuse,
. T
T T
, ,
,
To seem like him.| So that | in speech,| in
gait,
, ,
, ,
,
In di|et, in | affec|tions of | delight,
, ,
, , ,
In mil|ita|ry rules,| humors | of blood,
, 2 ,
, , ,
He was the | mark, and | glass, co/py, and | book,
<- ,
, , ,
,
That || fashioned | others.| And him,| O
wond|rous! him,
, ,
, , ,
O mi|racle | of men!| Him did | you leave
,
, , ,
,
(Second | to none)| unsec|onded | by you,
, ,
, ,
,
To look | upon | the hid|eous god | of war,
, ,
, ,
,
In dis|advant|age, to | abide | a field,
, ,
, . T T
T
Where noth|ing but | the sound | of Hotspur's
name
, ,
, ,
,
Did seem | defens|ible:| so you | left him.
,
, ,
, ,
Never,| O nev|er do | his ghost | the wrong,
,
, ,
, ,
To hold | your hon|or more | precise | and nice
,
, , ,
,
With oth|ers, than | with him.| Let them | alone:
,
, , ,
,
The marsh|al and | the arch|bishop | are strong.
2 ,
, ,
, ,
Had my sweet | Harry | had but | half their |
numbers,
, ,
, ,
,
Today | might I |(hanging | on Hot|spur's^neck)
,
, ,
Have talked | of Mon|mouth's grave.
NORTHUMBERLAND
, ,
Beshrew | your heart,
, ,
, x
,
(Fair daught/er) you | do draw | my spirits |
from me,
, ,
, ,
,
With new | lament|ing an|cient ov|ersights.
,
, ,
, ,
But I | must go,| and meet | with dang|er there,
, ,
, , ,
Or it | will seek | me in | anoth|er place,
, ,
, 2
And find | me worse | provid|ed.
LADY NORTHUMBERLAND
, ,
->
O fly | to Scot||land,
,
2 , ,
, ,
Till | that the nob|les, and | the armed |
commons,
, 2
T T T
, ,
Have of their | puissance made | a lit|tle taste.
LADY PERCY
, , ,
, ,
If they | get* ground,| and vant|age of | the
king,
, ,
, ,
,
Then join | you with | them, like | a rib | of
steel,
. T T
T ,
, ,
To make strength strong|er. But,| for all | our
loves,
,
, , ,
,
First let^|them try | themselves.| So did | your
son,
, 2 ,
, ,
,
He was so | suffered;| so came^|I a | widow:
,
, , ,
,
And nev|er shall | have^length | of life |
enough,
, ,
, , ,
To rain | upon | remem|brance with | mine^eyes,
,
, , ,
x
That it | may grow | and sprout | as high | as
heaven,
, ,
, , ,
->
For re|corda|tion to | my nob|le hus||band.
NORTHUMBERLAND
, ,
, 2
, ,
Come,| come, go | in with me.| 'Tis with | my
mind
, ,
T T T 2
,
As with | the tide,| swelled up un|to his height,
, .
T T T
, ,
That makes | a still-stand, run|ning neith|er
way.
,
, , , ,
Fain would | I go | to meet | the arch|bishop,
, ,
, ,
,
But ma|ny thous|and reas|ons hold | me back.
, ,
, , ,
I will | resolve | for Scot|land: there | am I,
,
, ,
, ,
Till time | and vant|age crave | my comp|any.
[Exeunt]
