[Enter HENRY BOLINGBROKE and NORTHUMBERLAND, with Forces]
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
, ,
, ,
,
How far | is it | my lord | to Berke|ley now?
NORTHUMBERLAND
, ,
,
Believe | me, nob|le lord, \\
, ,
, ,
,
I am | a strang|er here | in Glouce|stershire,
, T
T . T ,
,
These high | wild hills, and rough | unev|en ways,
, ,
, , ,
Draws^out | our miles,| and makes | them
wear|isome,
, ,
, ,
, ->
And yet | your fair | discourse | hath been | as
sug||ar,
, 2 ,
, , , 2
Mak|ing the hard | way sweet / and de|lectable:
, ,
, , ,
But I | bethink | me, what | a wea|ry way
,
, ,
, ,
From Rav|enspurgh | to Cots|wold will | be found,
, ,
2 , 2 ,
,
In Ross | and Wil|loughby*, want|ing your
comp|any,
,
, , ,
,
Which I | protest | hath ve|ry much | beguiled
, 2
, , ,
2 ,
The ted|iousness,| and pro/cess of my | travel:
, ,
, ,
,
But theirs | is sweet|ened with | the hope | to
have
, ,
, , ,
The pres|ent ben|efit | that I | possess;
,
, ,
, ,
And hope | to joy,| is lit|tle less | in joy,
, ,
, ,
,
Than hope | enjoyed:| by this | the wea|ry lords
, ,
, , ,
Shall make | their way | seem* short,| as mine |
hath done,
, 3 3 ,
, , ,
By sight | of what I have,| your nob|le comp|any.
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
,
, , ,
,
Of much | less val/ue is | my comp|any,
,
T T T T T
T
Than your | good words: but | who comes here?
[Enter HENRY PERCY]
NORTHUMBERLAND
, 2
T T T ,
It is my | son, young Har|ry Per|cy,
<- , ,
, , ,
,
Sent || from my | brother | Worcester;|
whenceso|ever.
, ,
x
Harry, | how fares | your uncle?
HENRY PERCY
2 ,
, 2 ,
, ,
I had thought,| my lord,| to have learned | his
health | of you.
NORTHUMBERLAND
, 2 ,
,
Why, is he | not with | the queen?
(match tri from before?)
HENRY PERCY
,
, ,
, ,
No, my | good* Lord,| he hath | forsook | the
court,
,
, ,
, ,
Broken | his staff | of of|fice, and | dispersed
, ,
,
The house|hold^of | the king.
NORTHUMBERLAND
, 2 ,
What was his | reason?
2 ,
2 ,
, ,
, 2->
He was not | so resolved,| when last | we spake |
togeth||er.
HENRY PERCY
, ,
, , ,
Because | your lord|ship was | proclaimed |
traitor.
, ,
, ,
,
But he,| my lord,| is gone | to Rav|enspurgh,
x , , ,
,
To offer | service | to the | Duke of | Hereford,
, , ,
, 2 ,
2->
And sent | me ov|er by | Berkeley,| to discov||er
x ,
, ,
,
What power | the Duke | of York | had lev|ied
there,
, 2
, 2 ,
, ,
Then with di|rections | to repair | to
Rav|enspurgh.
NORTHUMBERLAND
, ,
, ,
,
Have you | forgot | the Duke | of Here|ford
(boy).
HENRY PERCY
,
, , ,
,
No, my | good* lord,| for that | is not | forgot
,
, ,
, , ->
Which nere | I did | remem|ber: to | my
know||ledge,
, , 2
, , ,
I | never in | my life | did look | on him.
NORTHUMBERLAND
, ,
, ,
,
Then learn | to know | him now;| this is | the
duke.
HENRY PERCY
, , ,
, , ->
My gra|cious lord,| I tend|er you | my serv||ice,
, 2
, 2 ,
, ,
Such | as it is,| being tend|er, raw,| and young,
, ,
, ,
,
Which eld|er days | shall rip|en, and | confirm
,
, ,
, ,
To more | approv|ed serv|ice, and | desert.
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
, , , ,
,
I thank | thee gent|le Per|cy, and | be sure
,
, ,
, , ->
I count | myself | in noth|ing else | so hap||py,
, 2 ,
, 2 , ,
As | in a soul | remem|bering my / good friends:
,
, ,
, ,
And as | my for|tune rip|ens with | thy love,
, ,
. T T T
,
It shall | be still | thy true love's
rec|ompense,
, , 2
, , x
My heart | this cov|enant makes,| my hand | thus
seals it.
NORTHUMBERLAND
, ,
, ,
,
How far | is it | to Berke|ley? And / what stir
,
, , ,
,
Keeps^good | old^York | there, with | his men |
of war?
HENRY PERCY
, , , ,
,
There* stands | the cast|le, by / yond tuft | of
trees,
,
, ,
, ,
Manned with | three* hund|red men,| as I | have
heard,
x 2
, , ,
2 ,
And in it | are the Lords | of York,| Berkeley,
and | Seymour*,
,
, , , ,
None^else | of name,| and nob|le est|imate.
[Enter LORD ROSS and LORD WILLOUGHBY]
NORTHUMBERLAND
,
, ,
, ,
Here* come | the Lords | of Ross | and
Wil|loughby,
,
, ,
, ,
Bloody | with spur|ring, fie|ry red | with haste.
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
,
, ,
, ,
Welcome | my lords,| I wot | your love | pursues
, ,
, ,
,
A ban|ished trait|or; all | my treas|ury
, .
T T T
, ,
Is yet | but unfelt thanks,| which more |
enriched,
, ,
, ,
,
Shall be | your love,| and lab|or's rec|ompense.
LORD ROSS
, , ,
, ,
Your pres|ence makes | us rich,| most^nob|le
lord.
LORD WILLOUGHBY
, , ,
, x
And far | surmounts | our lab|or to | attain it.
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
Tx T T
2 , , ,
Evermore thanks,| the exche|quer of | the poor,
,
, ,
, ,
Which till | my in|fant for|tune comes | to
years,
,
, , T T
T
Stands for | my boun|ty: But | who comes here?
[Enter LORD BERKELEY]
NORTHUMBERLAND
, ,
, ,
,
It is | my Lord | of Berke|ley, as | I guess.
LORD BERKELEY
, ,
, , 2
,
My Lord | of Here|ford, my | message | is to you.
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
, , ,
, ,
My lord,| my ans|wer is | to Lan|caster,
, 2 ,
, , ,
And I am | come to | seek that | name in |
England,
, ,
, , ,
And I | must find | that tit|le in | your tongue,
,
, ,
, ,
Before | I make | reply | to aught | you say.
LORD BERKELEY
, ,
, , ,
->
Mistake | me not,| my lord,| 'tis not | my
mean||ing
, , x
, ,
To / raze one | title of | your hon|or out.
,
, , ,
,
To you,| my lord,| I come |(what lord | you will)
, ,
, ,
,
From the / most gra|cious reg|ent of | this land,
, ,
, ,
,
The Duke | of York,| to know | what pricks | you
on
,
, ,
, ,
To take | advant|age of | the ab|sent time,
, ,
, ,
,
And fright | our nat|ive peace | with
self-|born^arms.
[Enter DUKE OF YORK attended]
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
, , ,
, ,
I shall | not^need | transport | my words | by
you,
, ,
x x ,
Here comes | his grace | in person.| My noble |
uncle.
DUKE OF YORK
,
, , ,
,
Show me | thy hum|ble heart,| and not | thy knee,
, ,
, ,
,
Whose du|ty is | deceiv|eable,| and false.
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
, ,
My gra|cious unc|le. \\
DUKE OF YORK
T T
T 2 , ,
,
Tut, tut, grace | me no grace,| nor unc|le me,
, 2
, ,
, ,
I am no | traitor's | uncle;| and that / word
grace,
, , ,
, ,
In an | ungra|cious mouth,| is but | profane.
,
, ,
, ,
Why have | those ban|ished, and | forbid|den
legs,
T T
. T ,
, ,
Dared once to touch | a dust | of Eng|land's
ground?
, ,
, ,
,
But more | then why,| why have | they dared | to
march
, ,
, ,
x
So ma|ny miles | upon | her peace|ful bosom,
, ,
, , ,
Frighting | her pale-|faced vil/lages | with war,
, ,
, ,
,
And os|tenta|tion of | despis|ed arms?
T T . T
2 , , ,
Comst thou because | the anoint|ed king | is
hence?
,
, , ,
,
Why fool|ish boy,| the king | is left | behind,
,
, , ,
x
And in | my loy|al bos|om lies | his power.
, ,
, .
T T T
Were I | but now | the lord | of such hot youth,
. T T
T
, ,
,
As when brave Gaunt,| thy fath|er, and | myself
,
, ,
, ,
Rescued | the Black | Prince, that | young* Mars
| of men,
, ,
, ,
,
From forth | the ranks | of ma|ny thous|and
French:
, ,
, ,
,
Oh then,| how quick|ly should | this arm | of
mine,
, , 2
, , ,
Now pris|oner | to the pal|sy, chas|tise thee,
, ,
, ,
,
And min|ister | correc|tion to | thy fault.
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
, , ,
, ,
My gra|cious unc|le, let | me know | my fault,
, ,
, , ,
On what | condi|tion stands | it and | wherein?
DUKE OF YORK
, 2
, ,
, ,
Even | in condi|tion of | the worst | degree,
,
, ,
, ,
->
In gross | rebel|lion, and | detest|ed treas||on:
,
2 , , ,
,
Thou | art a ban|ished man,| and here | art come
,
, , ,
,
Before | the ex|pira|tion of | thy time,
, ,
, , ,
In brav|ing arms | against | thy sov|ereign.
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
, 2 ,
, ,
,
As I was | banished,| I was | banished |
Hereford,
,
, , ,
,
But as | I come,| I come | for Lan|caster.
, ,
, , ,
And nob|le unc|le, I | beseech | your grace
,
, ,
, 2 ,
Look^on | my wrongs | with an | indif|ferent eye:
,
, ,
, ,
You are | my fath|er, for | methinks | in you
,
, ,
, ,
->
I see | old^Gaunt | alive.| Oh then | my
fath||er,
,
2 , ,
, ,
Will | you permit,| that I | shall stand |
condemned
, 2
, , ,
x ->
A wand|ering vag|abond;| my rights | and
royal||ties
, 2
, ,
x ,
Plucked | from my arms | perforce,| and given |
away
, T T T
, 2 ,
To up|start unthrifts?| Wherefore | was I born?
, 2
, , ,
,
If that my | cousin | king, be | King of |
England,
,
, x
, , 2
It must | be grant|ed, I am | Duke of |
Lancaster. ??
, 2
, ,
, ,
You have a | son, Au|merle, my | noble | kinsman,
, ,
, , ,
Had you | first^died,| and he | been thus |
trod^down,
, 2
, ,
, ,
He should have | found his | uncle | Gaunt a |
father,
, ,
, ,
,
To rouse | his wrongs,| and chase | them to | the
bay.
, ,
, , 2
,
I am | denied | to sue | my liv|ery here,
,
, ,
, ,
And yet | my let|ters-pat|ents give | me leave:
, ,
, , ,
My fath|er's goods | are all | distrained,| and
sold,
, ,
, ,
,
And these,| and all,| are all | amiss | employed.
,
, , ,
2 ,
What would | you have | me do?| I am a |
subject*,
,
, , ,
2 ,
And chal|lenge law:| attor|neys are de|nied me;
??
, ,
2 , , ,
And there|fore pers|onally | I lay | my claim
, ,
, , ,
To my | inher|itance | of free | descent.
NORTHUMBERLAND
, ,
, , ,
The nob|le duke | hath been | too much | abused.
LORD ROSS
, ,
, ,
,
It stands | your grace | upon,| to do | him
right.
LORD WILLOUGHBY
T T T
2 , ,
,
Base men by | his endow|ments are / made great.
DUKE OF YORK
, ,
, ,
,
My lords | of Eng|land, let | me tell | you this,
,
, ,
, ,
I have | had feel|ing of | my cous|in's wrongs,
, ,
, ,
,
And lab|ored all | I could | to do | him right:
, ,
, ,
,
But in | this kind,| to come | in brav|ing arms,
, ,
, , ,
Be his / own carv|er, and / cut out | his way,
, ,
, ,
,
To find | out right | with wrong,| it may | not
be;
, , ,
, ,
And you | that do | abet | him in | this kind,
,
, ,
, ,
Cherish | rebel|lion, and | are reb|els all.
NORTHUMBERLAND
, ,
, ,
,
The nob|le duke | hath sworn | his com|ing is
,
, ,
, ,
But for | his own;| and for | the right | of
that,
, ,
, ,
,
We all | have strong|ly sworn | to give | him
aid,
, ,
, , ,
And let | him nere | see* joy | that breaks | that
oath.
DUKE OF YORK
T T
T 2 , ,
,
Well, well, I | see the is|sue of | these^arms,
,
, , ,
,
I can|not mend | it, I | must needs | confess,
,
x ,
, ,
Because | my power | is weak,| and all |
ill^left:
, ,
, ,
,
But if | I could,| by Him | that gave | me life,
,
, ,
, ,
I would | attach | you all,| and make | you stoop
, , , ,
,
Unto | the sove|reign mer|cy of | the king.
, ,
, ,
,
But since | I can/not, be | it known | to you,
, 2 ,
, ,
,
I do re|main as | neuter.| So fare | you well,
, ,
, ,
x
Unless | you please | to ent|er in | the
castle,
, ,
, ,
And there | repose | you for | this night.
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
, ,
, ,
,
An of|fer unc|le, that | we will | accept:
, ,
, ,
,
But we | must win | your grace | to go | with us
,
, ,
, ,
To Brist|ol cast|le, which | they say | is held
, ,
, , ,
By Bush|y, Bag|ot, and | their comp|lices,
, ,
, ,
,
The cat|erpil|lars of | the com|monwealth,
, ,
, ,
,
Which I | have sworn | to weed,| and pluck |
away.
DUKE OF YORK
, 3 3 ,
, ,
,
It may | be I will go | with you:| but yet | I'll
pause, ??
, ,
, ,
,
For I | am loath | to break | our count|ry's
laws:
, ,
, , ,
Nor friends,| nor foes,| to me | welcome | you
are,
T T . T , ,
,
Things past redress,| are now | with me |
past^care.
