Another part of the field.
[Enter SALISBURY, PEMBROKE, and BIGOT]
SALISBURY
, ,
, , ,
I did | not think | the king | so stored | with
friends.
PEMBROKE
T T . T
, ,
,
Up once again:| put spir|it in | the French,
, ,
, , ,
If they | miscar|ry: we | miscar|ry too.
SALISBURY
, , , , ,
That mis|begot|ten dev|il Faul|conbridge,
, ,
, ,
,
In spite | of spite,| alone | upholds | the day.
PEMBROKE
, ,
, ,
,
They say | King^John | sore* sick,| hath left |
the field.
[Enter MELUN, wounded]
MELUN
, ,
, ,
,
Lead me / to the | revolts | of Eng|land here.
SALISBURY
, ,
, ,
,
When we | were hap|py, we | had oth|er names.
PEMBROKE
, ,
,
It is | the Count | Melun.
SALISBURY
, ,
Wounded | to death.
MELUN
T Tx T
, , ,
Fly noble Eng|lish, you | are bought | and sold,
, , ,
, ,
Unthread | the rude | eye of | rebel|lion,
,
, ,
, ,
And wel|come home | again | discard|ed faith,
, ,
, ,
,
Seek^out | King^John,| and fall | before | his
feet:
, , ,
, ,
For if | the French | be lords | of this / loud
day,
,
, , ,
,
He means | to rec|ompense | the pains | you take,
,
, , ,
,
By cut|ting off | your heads:| thus hath | he
sworn,
, ,
, ,
,
And I | with him,| and ma|ny more | with me,
,
, , ,
x
Upon | the alt|ar at / Saint Ed|mundsbury,
, ,
, 2 ,
,
Even | on that | altar,| where* we swore | to you
, , , , ,
Dear am/ity,| and ev|erlast|ing love.
SALISBURY
, ,
, ,
,
May* this | be pos|sible?| May* this | be true?
MELUN
, ,
2 , ,
,
Have I | not hid|eous death | within | my view,
,
, , ,
,
Retain|ing but | a quan|tity | of life,
,
, x ,
,
Which bleeds | away,| even as | a form | of wax
,
, ,
2 , ,
Resolv|eth from | his fig|ure against | the fire?
,
, ,
, ,
What in | the world | should make | me now |
deceive,
, ,
, ,
,
Since I | must lose | the use | of all | deceit?
, ,
, , ,
Why should | I then | be false,| since^it | is
true
, ,
T . T T
,
That I | must die | here, and live hence,| by
truth?
,
, x
, ,
I say | again,| if Lewis | do win | the day,
, ,
, ,
,
He is | forsworn,| if ere | those eyes | of yours
, , , ,
,
Behold | anoth|er day | break in | the east:
x
, , ,
,
But even | this^night,| whose black | contag|ious
breath
, ,
, ,
,
Alrea|dy smokes | about | the burn|ing crest
, ,
, , ,
Of the / old, feeb|le, and / day-wear|ied sun,
, ,
, ,
2 ,
Even | this ill^|night, your | breathing | shall
expire,
,
, ,
, ,
Paying | the fine | of rat|ed treach|ery,
, 2
, 2 ,
, ,
Even | with a treach|erous fine | of all | your
lives:
x ,
, ,
,
If Lewis,| by your | assis|tance win | the day.
,
, , ,
,
Commend | me to / one Hub|ert, with | your king;
, ,
, ,
,
The love | of him,| and this | respect | besides
,
, ,
, ,
(For that | my grand|sire* was | an Eng|lishman)
, ,
, 2 T
T T
Awakes | my con/science to con|fess all this.
, ,
, ,
,
In lieu | whereof,| I pray | you bear | me hence
,
, , ,
,
From forth | the noise | and rum|or of | the
field;
, ,
, ,
,
Where I | may think | the rem|nant of | my
thoughts
, ,
, ,
,
In peace:| and part | this bo|dy and | my soul
, ,
, ,
,
With cont|empla|tion, and | devout | desires.
SALISBURY
, ,
, ,
,
We do | believe | thee, and | beshrew | my soul,
, ,
, ,
,
But I | do love | the fav|or, and | the form
, ,
, ,
,
Of this / most fair | occa|sion, by | the which
,
, ,
, ,
We will | untread | the steps | of damn|ed
flight,
,
, , ,
,
And like | a bat|ed and | retir|ed flood,
,
, , ,
2 ,
Leaving | our rank/ness and | irreg|ular course,
,
, ,
, ,
Stoop^low | within | those^bounds | we have |
orelooked,
, , , , ,
And calm|ly run | on^in | obed|ience
, 2
, , 2 T
T T
Even | to our o|cean, to our | great King John.
, , ,
, ,
My arm | shall give | thee help | to bear | thee
hence,
, ,
, ,
,
For I | do see | the cru|el pangs | of death
,
, , ,
,
Right in | thine^eye.| Away,| my friends,| new
flight,
, , ,
2 T T T
And hap|py new|ness, that in|tends old right.
