How now,| my lord chief just|ice, whith|er away?
LORD CHIEF JUSTICE

How doth | the king?
WARWICK
, ,
,
Exceed|ing well:| his cares
,
, ,
Are now,| all end/ed.
LORD CHIEF JUSTICE
T T T
I | hope, not dead.
WARWICK
, ,
,
He's walked | the way | of na|ture, \\
, ,
, ,
,
And to | our pur|poses,| he lives | no more.
LORD CHIEF JUSTICE
, , ,
,
x
I would | his maj|esty | had called | me with
him,
,
, , ,
,
The serv|ice, that | I tru|ly did | his life,
,
, ,
, ,
Hath left | me op|en to / all in|juries.
WARWICK
,
, . T T
T ,
Indeed | I think | the young king loves | you
not.
LORD CHIEF JUSTICE
, ,
, ,
,
I know | he doth | not, and | do arm | myself
, ,
, ,
,
To wel|come the | condi|tion of | the time,
,
, , 2 ,
, ->
Which can|not look | more hid|eously | upon ||
me,
, 2
, ,
, ,
Than | I have drawn | it in | my fant|asy.

, 2
, ,
, ,
O, that the | living | Harry | had the | temper
, , ,
, ,
Of him,| the worst | of these / three gent|lemen:
, 2 ,
, ,
,
How many | nobles | then, should | hold their |
places,
, T
T . T ,
,
That must | strike sail, to spir|its of / vile
sort?
LORD CHIEF JUSTICE

Alas,| I fear,| all will | be ov|erturned.
LANCASTER

Good* mor|row cous|in War|wick, good | morrow.
GLOUCESTER CLARENCE
,
,
Good mor|row, cous|in. \\
LANCASTER
,
, , ,
,
We meet,| like men,| that had | forgot | to
speak.
WARWICK
,
, , , ,
We do | remem|ber: but | our arg|ument
. T T T
, , ,
Is^all too hea|vy, to ad//mit much talk.
LANCASTER
T T
T , 2
, , ->
Well: peace be | with him,| that hath made | us
hea||vy.
LORD CHIEF JUSTICE

2 , ,

Peace | be with us,| lest we | be hea|vier.
GLOUCESTER
,
, 2 ,
, ,
O, good | my lord,| you have lost | a friend |
indeed?
,
, , ,
,
And I / dare swear,| you bor|row not | that face
,
, ,
, ,
Of seem|ing sor|row, it | is sure | your own.
LANCASTER

, ,
,
Though no | man be | assured | what grace | to
find,
,
, , ,
,
You stand | in cold|est ex|pecta|tion.
, ,
2 ,

I am | the sor|rier, would |'twere
oth|erwise.
CLARENCE

T T . T T
T T
Well, you must | now speak Sir^John | Falstaff fair,
??
,
, ,
, ,
Which swims | against | your stream | of
qual|ity.
LORD CHIEF JUSTICE
,
, ,
, x
Sweet* prin|ces: what | I did,| I did | in
honor,
,
2
, , ,
,
Led by | the impart|ial con|duct of | my soul,
,
, ,
, ,
And nev|er shall | you see,| that I | will beg
,
, ,
, ,
A rag|ged, and / forestalled | remis|sion.
, , ,
, 2 ,
If truth,| and up|right in/nocency | fail me,
,
, ,
, ,
I'll to | the king |(my mast|er) that | is dead,
,

And tell | him, who | hath sent | me aft|er him.

[Enter KING HENRY V, attended]
LORD CHIEF JUSTICE
,
x , , ,
Good* mor|row: and / heaven save | your maj|esty.
KING HENRY V
, ,
, , ,
This new,| and gor|geous gar|ment, maj|esty,
,
, , ,
,
Sits not | so ea|sy on | me, as | you think.
,
, , , ,
Brothers,| you mix | your sad|ness with / some
fear:
,
, ,
, ,
This is | the Eng|lish, not | the Turk|ish court:
, , , , ,
Not Am|urath,| an Am|urath | succeeds,
,
, ,
, ,
o
But Har|ry, Har|ry: Yet | be sad |(good
broth|ers)
, ,
, ,
, o
For (to / speak truth)| it ve|ry well | becomes |
you: (hex with prev)
, ,
, , ,
Sorrow,| so roy|ally | in you | appears,
, ,
, , ,
That I | will deep|ly put | the fash|ion on,
,
, ,
, ,
And wear | it in | my heart.| Why then | be sad,
, ,
, 2 , ,
But ent|ertain | no more | of it (good |
brothers)
, ,
, ,
,
Than a / joint burd|en, laid | upon | us all.
,
x ,
, ,
For me,| by heaven |(I bid | you be | assured)
,
, , ,
,
I'll be | your fath|er, and | your broth|er too:
,
, , ,
,
Let me | but bear | your love,| I'll bear | your
cares;
, ,
, ,
,
Yet weep | that Har|ry's dead,| and so | will I.
, ,
, ,
,
But Har|ry lives,| that shall | convert | those
tears
, ,
, ,
,
By num|ber, in|to hours | of hap|piness.
PRINCES
, ,
, , ,
We hope | no oth|er from | your maj|esty.
KING HENRY V
, ,
,
, ,
You all | look^strange|ly on | me: and / you
most,
,
, ,
, ,
You are |(I think)| assured,| I love | you not.
LORD CHIEF JUSTICE
,
, , 2 ,
,
I am | assured |(if I be | measured | rightly)
, , , T
T . T
->
Your maj|esty | hath no | just cause to hate ||
me.
KING HENRY V
, ,
2 , T
T T
,
No? | How might a | prince of | my great hopes |
forget
, ,
, ,
, o
So great | indig|nities | you laid | upon | me?
(hex with prev)
T T
. T , ,
x
What? Rate? Rebuke?| And rough|ly send | to
prison
2 , 2 ,
, ,
, ->
The immed|iate heir | of Eng|land? Was | this
ea||sy?
,
2 , , ,
x
May | this be washed | in Leth|e, and |
forgotten?
LORD CHIEF JUSTICE
, ,
, 2 , ,
I then | did use | the pers|on of your | father;
, ,
x ,
,
The im|age of | his power,| lay* then | in me,
, 2
, , , ,
And in | the admin|istra|tion of / his law,
,
, ,
, ,
Whiles I | was bu|sy for | the com|monwealth,
, ,
, , ,
Your high|ness pleas|ed to | forget | my place,
, , x
, ,
2->
The maj|esty,| and power | of law,| and
jus||tice,
, , ,
, , 2->
The im|age of | the king,| whom I | present||ed,
, , 2
, ,
,
And struck | me in my | very | seat of |
judgment:
, , 2
, ,
,
Whereon |(as an of|fender | to your | father)
. T T T
, , ,
I gave bold way | to my | author|ity,
, ,
, ,
,
And did | commit | you. If | the deed | were ill,
, 2 ,
, ,
,
Be you con|tented,| wearing | now the | garland,
, ,
, ,
,
To have | a son,| set your | decrees | at nought?
. T T T
, , ,
To pluck down just|ice from / your aw|ful bench,
, ,
, , ,
To trip | the course | of law,| and blunt | the
sword
,
, ,
, x
That guards | the peace,| and safe|ty of / your person?
T T .
T 2 , ,
,
Nay more, to spurn | at your most | royal |
image,
, , ,
2 , ,
And mock | your work|ings, in a | second | body?
,
, ,
T . T T
Question | your roy|al thoughts,| make the case
yours:
T T .
T , ,
,
Be now the fath|er, and | propose | a son:
,
T T . T ,
,
Hear your | own dignity | so much | profaned,
, 2
, ,
, ,
See your most^|dreadful | laws, so | loosely |
slighted;
,
, ,
, ,
Behold | yourself,| so by | a son | disdained:
, ,
, , ,
And then | imag|ine me,| taking | your part,
, x
, ,
,
And in / your power | soft sil/encing | your son:
, ,
, 2 , ,
After | this cold | consid|erance, sent|ence me;
, 2
, T T
T ,
And, as you | are a | king, speak in | your state,
,
, , ,
,
What I | have done,| that mis|became | my place,
,
, , , ,
My pers|on, or | my lie|ge's sove|reignty.
KING HENRY V
, ,
, , ,
You are / right just|ice, and | you weigh | this
well:
, T
T . T ,
,
Therefore | still bear the bal|ance, and | the
sword:
,
, , ,
,
And I | do wish | your hon|ors may | increase,
,
, ,
, ,
Till you | do live,| to see | a son | of mine
,
, , , ,
Offend | you, and | obey | you, as / I did.
,
, ,
, ,
So shall | I live,| to speak | my fath|er's
words:
,
, , ,
,
Happy | am I,| that have | a man | so bold,
,
, , ,
,
That dares | do just|ice, on | my prop|er son;
. T T T
, ,
,
And^no less hap|py, hav|ing such | a son,
, ,
, ,
,
That would | deliv|er up | his great|ness so,
, 2 ,
, , 2
,
Into the | hands of | justice.| You did com|mit
me:
, , , ,
,
For which,| I do | commit | into | your hand,
. T T T
, ,
,
The^unstained sword | that you | have used | to
bear:
, ,
, ,
,
With this | remem|brance; that | you use | the
same
, ,
, ,
x
With the / like bold,| just, and | impart|ial
spirit
,
, , , 2 ,
As you | have done | against | me. There | is my
hand.
,
, ,
, ,
You shall | be as | a fath|er, to | my youth:
, ,
, ,
,
My voice | shall sound,| as you | do prompt |
mine^ear,
, ,
, ,
,
And I | will stoop,| and hum|ble my | intents,
, ,
, ,
,
To your / well-prac|ticed, wise | direc|tions.
,
, ,
, 2 ,
And prin|ces all,| believe | me, I be|seech
you:
, ,
, ,
,
My fath|er is / gone wild | into | his grave,
,
, , ,
,
(For in / his tomb,| lie* my | affec|tions)
, ,
, , ,
And with | his spir|its, sad|ly I | survive,
,
, , ,
,
To mock | the ex|pecta|tion of | the world;
. T T T
, , ,
To frustrate proph|ecies,| and to / raze out
,
, , ,
,
Rotten | opin|ion, who | hath writ | me down
, 2 ,
, ,
,
After my | seeming.| The tide | of blood | in me,
,
, , ,
,
Hath proud|ly flowed | in van|ity,| till now.
T T . T ,
, ,
Now doth it turn,| and ebb | back to | the sea,
,
, , ,
,
Where^it | shall ming|le with | the state | of
floods,
, ,
, , ,
And flow | henceforth | in form|al maj|esty.
,
, ,
, ,
Now call | we our / high court | of parl|iament,
x ,
, ,
,
And let us | choose such | limbs of | noble |
counsel,
, ,
, ,
,
That the / great bo|dy of | our state | may go
,
, 2 , ,
,
In e|qual rank,| with the best | governed |
nation,
, ,
, ,
,
That war,| or peace,| or both | at once | may be
,
, ,
, x
As things | acquaint|ed and | famil|iar to us,
, , ,
2 T T
T
In which | you (Fath/er) shall have | foremost
hand.
, ,
, , ,
Our cor|ona|tion done,| we will | accite
, ,
, , ,
(As I | before | remem|bered) all | our state,
x
, ,

And heaven |(consign|ing to | my good | intents)
, ,

No prince,| nor peer,| shall have | just cause to
say,

Heaven shorten Har|ry's hap|py life,| one^day.
