So shall | it be:| your grace | shall stay |
behind

So strong|ly guard|ed: cous|in, look | not* sad,

As dear | be to | thee, as | thy fath|er was.

Of hoard|ing ab|bots, im|prisoned | angels

QUEEN ELINOR

Come^hith|er lit|tle kins|man, hark,| a word.
KING JOHN
,
, ,
x ,
Come^hith|er Hub|ert. O | my gentle | Hubert,
, ,
, ,
,
We owe | thee much:| within | this wall | of
flesh
, 2
T T T
, ,
There is a | soul counts thee | her cred|itor,
, ,
, ,
,
And with | advant|age means | to pay | thy love:
, ,
, , ,
And my / good friend,| thy vol|unta|ry oath
,
, , , ,
Lives in | this bos|om, dear|ly cher|ished.
,
, , ,
,
Give me | thy hand,| I had | a thing | to say,
,
, ,
, ,
But I | will fit | it with | some^bet|ter tune.
x ,
, T T . T
By heaven | Hubert,| I am | almost ashamed
,
, ,
, ,
To say | what good | respect | I have | of thee.
HUBERT
, ,
, ,
,
I am / much bound|en to | your maj|esty.
KING JOHN
,
, ,
, ,
Good* friend,| thou hast | no cause | to say | so
yet,
2 ,
, T T T
,
But thou shalt | have: and | creep time nere | so
slow,
, , ,
, ,
Yet it / shall come,| from me | to do | thee
good.
,
, ,
, ,
I had | a thing | to say,| but let | it go:
,
, x
, ,
The sun | is in | the heaven,| and the / proud
day,
,
, ,
, ,
Attend|ed with | the pleas|ures of | the world,
, , , ,
,
Is all | too want|on, and / too full | of gawds
,
, , 2 ,
,
To give | me aud|ience:| if the mid|night bell
,
, , ,
,
Did with | his ir|on tongue,| and braz|en mouth
T T T
2 , ,
,
Sound on in|to the drow|sy race | of night:
,
, ,
, ,
If this | same were | a church|yard* where | we
stand,
,
, ,
, ,
And thou | posses|sed with | a thous|and wrongs,
, ,
x , ,
Or if | that sur|ly spirit | melan|choly
, ,
, ,
,
Had baked | thy blood,| and made | it hea|vy,
thick,
, ,
, ,
,
Which else | runs^tick|ling up | and down | the
veins,
,
, 2 , ,
,
Making | that id|iot laugh|ter keep | men's^eyes,
,
, ,
, ,
And strain | their cheeks | to id|le mer|riment,
, ,
, , ,
A pas|sion hate|ful to | my pur|poses:
, , ,
, ,
Or if | that thou | couldst see | me with/out
eyes,
,
, ,
, ,
Hear me | without | thine^ears,| and make | reply
,
, , ,
,
Without | a tongue,| using | conceit | alone,
, T
T . T ,
,
Without | eyes, ears, and harm|ful sound | of
words:
,
, ,
, ,
Then, in | despite | of brood|ed watch|ful day,
, ,
, , ,
I would | into | thy bos|om pour | my thoughts:
,
, , ,
,
But (ah)| I will / not, yet | I love | thee well.
,
, , ,
,
And by | my troth | I think | thou lovst | me
well.
HUBERT

, ,
,
So well,| that what | you bid | me und|ertake,
,
, , ,

Though that | my death | were ad|junct^to | my
act,
x 2
x
By heaven | I would do it.
KING JOHN

,
Do not | I know | thou wouldst?

Good* Hub|ert, Hub|ert, Hub|ert throw | thine^eye
. T T
T , ,
,
On yon young boy:| I'll tell | thee what | my
friend,

, ,
He is | a ve|ry serp|ent in | my way,
,
, ,
, ,
And where|soere | this foot | of mine | doth
tread,
,
, , , 2 ,
He lies | before | me: dost | thou under|stand
me?
, ,
Thou art | his keep|er.
HUBERT

And | I'll keep | him so,
, ,
, , ,
That he | shall not | offend | your maj|esty.
KING JOHN
