Bish. A Peace is of the nature of a Conquest:

For then both parties nobly are subdu'd,

And neither partie looser

Iohn. Goe (my Lord)

And let our Army be discharged too:

And good my Lord (so please you) let our Traines

March by vs, that wee may peruse the men

Enter.

Wee should haue coap'd withall

Bish. Goe, good Lord Hastings:

And ere they be dismiss'd, let them march by.

Enter.

Iohn. I trust (Lords) wee shall lye to night together.

Enter Westmerland.

Now Cousin, wherefore stands our Army still?

West. The Leaders hauing charge from you to stand,

Will not goe off, vntill they heare you speake

Iohn. They know their duties.

Enter Hastings.

Hast. Our Army is dispers'd:

Like youthfull Steeres, vnyoak'd, they tooke their course

East, West, North, South: or like a Schoole, broke vp,

Each hurryes towards his home, and sporting place

West. Good tidings (my Lord Hastings) for the which,

I doe arrest thee (Traytor) of high Treason:

And you Lord Arch-bishop, and you Lord Mowbray,

Of Capitall Treason, I attach you both

Mow. Is this proceeding iust, and honorable?

West. Is your Assembly so?

Bish. Will you thus breake your faith?

Iohn. I pawn'd thee none:

I promis'd you redresse of these same Grieuances

Whereof you did complaine; which, by mine Honor,

I will performe, with a most Christian care.

But for you (Rebels) looke to taste the due

Meet for Rebellion, and such Acts as yours.

Most shallowly did you these Armes commence,

Fondly brought here, and foolishly sent hence.

Strike vp our Drummes, pursue the scatter'd stray,

Heauen, and not wee, haue safely fought to day.

Some guard these Traitors to the Block of Death,

Treasons true Bed, and yeelder vp of breath.

Exeunt.

Enter Falstaffe and Colleuile.

Falst. What's your Name, Sir? of what Condition are

you? and of what place, I pray?

Col. I am a Knight, Sir:

And my Name is Colleuile of the Dale

Falst. Well then, Colleuile is your Name, a Knight is

your Degree, and your Place, the Dale. Colleuile shall

still be your Name, a Traytor your Degree, and the Dungeon

your Place, a place deepe enough: so shall you be

still Colleuile of the Dale

Col. Are not you Sir Iohn Falstaffe?

Falst. As good a man as he sir, who ere I am: doe yee

yeelde sir, or shall I sweate for you? if I doe sweate, they

are the drops of thy Louers, and they weep for thy death,

therefore rowze vp Feare and Trembling, and do obseruance

to my mercy

Col. I thinke you are Sir Iohn Falstaffe, & in that thought

yeeld me

Fal. I haue a whole Schoole of tongues in this belly of

mine, and not a Tongue of them all, speakes anie other

word but my name: and I had but a belly of any indifferencie,

I were simply the most actiue fellow in Europe:

my wombe, my wombe, my wombe vndoes mee. Heere

comes our Generall.

Enter Prince Iohn, and Westmerland.

Iohn. The heat is past, follow no farther now:

Call in the Powers, good Cousin Westmerland.

Now Falstaffe, where haue you beene all this while?

When euery thing is ended, then you come.

These tardie Tricks of yours will (on my life)

One time, or other, breake some Gallowes back

Falst. I would bee sorry (my Lord) but it should bee

thus: I neuer knew yet, but rebuke and checke was the

reward of Valour. Doe you thinke me a Swallow, an Arrow,

or a Bullet? Haue I, in my poore and olde Motion,

the expedition of Thought? I haue speeded hither with

the very extremest ynch of possibilitie. I haue fowndred

nine score and odde Postes: and heere (trauell-tainted

as I am) haue, in my pure and immaculate Valour, taken

Sir Iohn Colleuile of the Dale, a most furious Knight, and

valorous Enemie: But what of that? hee saw mee, and

yeelded: that I may iustly say with the hooke-nos'd

fellow of Rome, I came, saw, and ouer-came

Iohn. It was more of his Courtesie, then your deseruing

Falst. I know not: heere hee is, and heere I yeeld

him: and I beseech your Grace, let it be book'd, with

the rest of this dayes deedes; or I sweare, I will haue it

in a particular Ballad, with mine owne Picture on the top

of it (Colleuile kissing my foot:) To the which course, if

I be enforc'd, if you do not all shew like gilt two-pences

to me; and I, in the cleare Skie of Fame, o're-shine you

as much as the Full Moone doth the Cynders of the Element

(which shew like Pinnes-heads to her) beleeue not

the Word of the Noble: therefore let mee haue right,

and let desert mount

Iohn. Thine's too heauie to mount

Falst. Let it shine then

Iohn. Thine's too thick to shine

Falst. Let it doe something (my good Lord) that may

doe me good, and call it what you will

Iohn. Is thy Name Colleuile?

Col. It is (my Lord.)

Iohn. A famous Rebell art thou, Colleuile

Falst. And a famous true Subiect tooke him

Col. I am (my Lord) but as my Betters are,

That led me hither: had they beene rul'd by me,

You should haue wonne them dearer then you haue

Falst. I know not how they sold themselues, but thou

like a kinde fellow, gau'st thy selfe away; and I thanke

thee, for thee.

Enter Westmerland.

Iohn. Haue you left pursuit?

West. Retreat is made, and Execution stay'd

Iohn. Send Colleuile, with his Confederates,

To Yorke, to present Execution.

Blunt, leade him hence, and see you guard him sure.

Exit with Colleuile.

And now dispatch we toward the Court (my Lords)

I heare the King, my Father, is sore sicke.

Our Newes shall goe before vs, to his Maiestie,

Which (Cousin) you shall beare, to comfort him:

And wee with sober speede will follow you

Falst. My Lord, I beseech you, giue me leaue to goe

through Gloucestershire: and when you come to Court,

stand my good Lord, 'pray, in your good report

Iohn. Fare you well, Falstaffe: I, in my condition,

Shall better speake of you, then you deserue.

Enter.

Falst. I would you had but the wit: 'twere better

then your Dukedome. Good faith, this same young sober-blooded

Boy doth not loue me, nor a man cannot

make him laugh: but that's no maruaile, hee drinkes no

Wine. There's neuer any of these demure Boyes come

to any proofe: for thinne Drinke doth so ouer-coole

their blood, and making many Fish-Meales, that they

fall into a kinde of Male Greene-sicknesse: and then,

when they marry, they get Wenches. They are generally

Fooles, and Cowards; which some of vs should be too,

but for inflamation. A good Sherris-Sack hath a two-fold

operation in it: it ascends me into the Braine, dryes

me there all the foolish, and dull, and cruddie Vapours,

which enuiron it: makes it apprehensiue, quicke, forgetiue,

full of nimble, fierie, and delectable shapes; which

deliuer'd o're to the Voyce, the Tongue, which is the

Birth, becomes excellent Wit. The second propertie of

your excellent Sherris, is, the warming of the Blood:

which before (cold, and setled) left the Liuer white, and

pale; which is the Badge of Pusillanimitie, and Cowardize:

but the Sherris warmes it, and makes it course

from the inwards, to the parts extremes: it illuminateth

the Face, which (as a Beacon) giues warning to all the

rest of this little Kingdome (Man) to Arme: and then

the Vitall Commoners, and in-land pettie Spirits, muster

me all to their Captaine, the Heart; who great, and pufft

vp with his Retinue, doth any Deed of Courage: and this

Valour comes of Sherris. So, that skill in the Weapon

is nothing, without Sack (for that sets it a-worke:) and

Learning, a meere Hoord of Gold, kept by a Deuill, till

Sack commences it, and sets it in act, and vse. Hereof

comes it, that Prince Harry is valiant: for the cold blood

hee did naturally inherite of his Father, hee hath, like

leane, stirrill, and bare Land, manured, husbanded, and

tyll'd, with excellent endeauour of drinking good, and

good store of fertile Sherris, that hee is become very hot,

and valiant. If I had a thousand Sonnes, the first Principle

I would teach them, should be to forsweare thinne Potations,

and to addict themselues to Sack.

Enter Bardolph.

How now Bardolph?

Bard. The Armie is discharged all, and gone

Falst. Let them goe: Ile through Gloucestershire,

and there will I visit Master Robert Shallow, Esquire: I

haue him alreadie tempering betweene my finger and my

thombe, and shortly will I seale with him. Come away.

Exeunt.

Scena Secunda.

Enter King, Warwicke, Clarence, Gloucester.

King. Now Lords, if Heauen doth giue successefull end

To this Debate, that bleedeth at our doores,

Wee will our Youth lead on to higher Fields,

And draw no Swords, but what are sanctify'd.

Our Nauie is addressed, our Power collected,

Our Substitutes, in absence, well inuested,

And euery thing lyes leuell to our wish;

Onely wee want a little personall Strength:

And pawse vs, till these Rebels, now a-foot,

Come vnderneath the yoake of Gouernment

War. Both which we doubt not, but your Maiestie

Shall soone enioy

King. Humphrey (my Sonne of Gloucester) where is

the Prince, your Brother?

Glo. I thinke hee's gone to hunt (my Lord) at Windsor

King. And how accompanied?

Glo. I doe not know (my Lord.)

King. Is not his Brother, Thomas of Clarence, with

him?

Glo. No (my good Lord) hee is in presence heere

Clar. What would my Lord, and Father?

King. Nothing but well to thee, Thomas of Clarence.

How chance thou art not with the Prince, thy Brother?

Hee loues thee, and thou do'st neglect him (Thomas.)

Thou hast a better place in his Affection,

Then all thy Brothers: cherish it (my Boy)

And Noble Offices thou may'st effect

Of Mediation (after I am dead)

Betweene his Greatnesse, and thy other Brethren.

Therefore omit him not: blunt not his Loue,

Nor loose the good aduantage of his Grace,

By seeming cold, or carelesse of his will.

For hee is gracious, if hee be obseru'd:

Hee hath a Teare for Pitie, and a Hand

Open (as Day) for melting Charitie:

Yet notwithstanding, being incens'd, hee's Flint,

As humorous as Winter, and as sudden,

As Flawes congealed in the Spring of day.

His temper therefore must be well obseru'd:

Chide him for faults, and doe it reuerently,

When you perceiue his blood enclin'd to mirth:

But being moodie, giue him Line, and scope,

Till that his passions (like a Whale on ground)

Confound themselues with working. Learne this Thomas,

And thou shalt proue a shelter to thy friends,

A Hoope of Gold, to binde thy Brothers in:

That the vnited Vessell of their Blood

(Mingled with Venome of Suggestion,

As force, perforce, the Age will powre it in)

Shall neuer leake, though it doe worke as strong

As Aconitum, or rash Gun-powder

Clar. I shall obserue him with all care, and loue

King. Why art thou not at Windsor with him (Thomas?)

Clar. Hee is not there to day: hee dines in London

King. And how accompanyed? Canst thou tell

that?

Clar. With Pointz, and other his continuall followers

King. Most subiect is the fattest Soyle to Weedes:

And hee (the Noble Image of my Youth)

Is ouer-spread with them: therefore my griefe

Stretches it selfe beyond the howre of death.

The blood weepes from my heart, when I doe shape

(In formes imaginarie) th' vnguided Dayes,

And rotten Times, that you shall looke vpon,

When I am sleeping with my Ancestors.

For when his head-strong Riot hath no Curbe,

When Rage and hot-Blood are his Counsailors,

When Meanes and lauish Manners meete together;

Oh, with what Wings shall his Affections flye

Towards fronting Perill, and oppos'd Decay?

War. My gracious Lord, you looke beyond him quite:

The Prince but studies his Companions,

Like a strange Tongue: wherein, to gaine the Language,

'Tis needfull, that the most immodest word

Be look'd vpon, and learn'd: which once attayn'd,

Your Highnesse knowes, comes to no farther vse,

But to be knowne, and hated. So, like grosse termes,

The Prince will, in the perfectnesse of time,

Cast off his followers: and their memorie

Shall as a Patterne, or a Measure, liue,

By which his Grace must mete the liues of others,

Turning past-euills to aduantages

King. 'Tis seldome, when the Bee doth leaue her Combe

In the dead Carrion.

Enter Westmerland.

Who's heere? Westmerland?

West. Health to my Soueraigne, and new happinesse

Added to that, that I am to deliuer.

Prince Iohn, your Sonne, doth kisse your Graces Hand:

Mowbray, the Bishop, Scroope, Hastings, and all,

Are brought to the Correction of your Law.

There is not now a Rebels Sword vnsheath'd,

But Peace puts forth her Oliue euery where:

The manner how this Action hath beene borne,

Here (at more leysure) may your Highnesse reade,

With euery course, in his particular

King. O Westmerland, thou art a Summer Bird,

Which euer in the haunch of Winter sings

The lifting vp of day.

Enter Harcourt.

Looke, heere's more newes

Harc. From Enemies, Heauen keepe your Maiestie:

And when they stand against you, may they fall,

As those that I am come to tell you of.

The Earle Northumberland, and the Lord Bardolfe,

With a great Power of English, and of Scots,

Are by the Sherife of Yorkeshire ouerthrowne:

The manner, and true order of the fight,

This Packet (please it you) containes at large

King. And wherefore should these good newes

Make me sicke?

Will Fortune neuer come with both hands full,

But write her faire words still in foulest Letters?

Shee eyther giues a Stomack, and no Foode,

(Such are the poore, in health) or else a Feast,

And takes away the Stomack (such are the Rich,

That haue aboundance, and enioy it not.)

I should reioyce now, at this happy newes,

And now my Sight fayles, and my Braine is giddie.

O me, come neere me, now I am much ill

Glo. Comfort your Maiestie

Cla. Oh, my Royall Father

West. My Soueraigne Lord, cheare vp your selfe, looke

vp

War. Be patient (Princes) you doe know, these Fits

Are with his Highnesse very ordinarie.

Stand from him, giue him ayre:

Hee'le straight be well

Clar. No, no, hee cannot long hold out: these pangs,

Th' incessant care, and labour of his Minde,

Hath wrought the Mure, that should confine it in,

So thinne, that Life lookes through, and will breake out

Glo. The people feare me: for they doe obserue

Vnfather'd Heires, and loathly Births of Nature:

The Seasons change their manners, as the Yeere

Had found some Moneths asleepe, and leap'd them ouer

Clar. The Riuer hath thrice flow'd, no ebbe betweene:

And the old folke (Times doting Chronicles)

Say it did so, a little time before

That our great Grand-sire Edward sick'd, and dy'de

War. Speake lower (Princes) for the King recouers

Glo. This Apoplexie will (certaine) be his end

King. I pray you take me vp, and beare me hence

Into some other Chamber: softly 'pray.

Let there be no noyse made (my gentle friends)

Vnlesse some dull and fauourable hand

Will whisper Musicke to my wearie Spirit

War. Call for the Musicke in the other Roome

King. Set me the Crowne vpon my Pillow here

Clar. His eye is hollow, and hee changes much

War. Lesse noyse, lesse noyse.

Enter Prince Henry.

P.Hen. Who saw the Duke of Clarence?

Clar. I am here (Brother) full of heauinesse

P.Hen. How now? Raine within doores, and none

abroad? How doth the King?

Glo. Exceeding ill

P.Hen. Heard hee the good newes yet?

Tell it him

Glo. Hee alter'd much, vpon the hearing it

P.Hen. If hee be sicke with Ioy,

Hee'le recouer without Physicke

War. Not so much noyse (my Lords)

Sweet Prince speake lowe,

The King, your Father, is dispos'd to sleepe

Clar. Let vs with-draw into the other Roome

War. Wil't please your Grace to goe along with vs?

P.Hen. No: I will sit, and watch here, by the King.

Why doth the Crowne lye there, vpon his Pillow,

Being so troublesome a Bed-fellow?

O pollish'd Perturbation! Golden Care!

That keep'st the Ports of Slumber open wide,

To many a watchfull Night: sleepe with it now,

Yet not so sound, and halfe so deepely sweete,

As hee whose Brow (with homely Biggen bound)

Snores out the Watch of Night. O Maiestie!

When thou do'st pinch thy Bearer, thou do'st sit

Like a rich Armor, worne in heat of day,

That scald'st with safetie: by his Gates of breath,

There lyes a dowlney feather, which stirres not:

Did hee suspire, that light and weightlesse dowlne

Perforce must moue. My gracious Lord, my Father,

This sleepe is sound indeede: this is a sleepe,

That from this Golden Rigoll hath diuorc'd

So many English Kings. Thy due, from me,

Is Teares, and heauie Sorrowes of the Blood,

Which Nature, Loue, and filiall tendernesse,

Shall (O deare Father) pay thee plenteously.

My due, from thee, is this Imperiall Crowne,

Which (as immediate from thy Place, and Blood)

Deriues it selfe to me. Loe, heere it sits,

Which Heauen shall guard:

And put the worlds whole strength into one gyant Arme,

It shall not force this Lineall Honor from me.

This, from thee, will I to mine leaue,

As 'tis left to me.

Enter.

Enter Warwicke, Gloucester, Clarence.

King. Warwicke, Gloucester, Clarence

Clar. Doth the King call?

War. What would your Maiestie? how fares your

Grace?

King. Why did you leaue me here alone (my Lords?)

Cla. We left the Prince (my Brother) here (my Liege)

Who vndertooke to sit and watch by you

King. The Prince of Wales? where is hee? let mee

see him

War. This doore is open, hee is gone this way

Glo. Hee came not through the Chamber where wee

stayd

King. Where is the Crowne? who tooke it from my

Pillow?

War. When wee with-drew (my Liege) wee left it

heere

King. The Prince hath ta'ne it hence:

Goe seeke him out.

Is hee so hastie, that hee doth suppose

My sleepe, my death? Finde him (my Lord of Warwick)

Chide him hither: this part of his conioynes

With my disease, and helpes to end me.

See Sonnes, what things you are:

How quickly Nature falls into reuolt,

When Gold becomes her Obiect?

For this, the foolish ouer-carefull Fathers

Haue broke their sleepes with thoughts,

Their braines with care, their bones with industry.

For this, they haue ingrossed and pyl'd vp

The canker'd heapes of strange-atchieued Gold:

For this, they haue beene thoughtfull, to inuest

Their Sonnes with Arts, and Martiall Exercises:

When, like the Bee, culling from euery flower

The vertuous Sweetes, our Thighes packt with Wax,

Our Mouthes with Honey, wee bring it to the Hiue;

And like the Bees, are murthered for our paines.

This bitter taste yeelds his engrossements,

To the ending Father.

Enter Warwicke.

Now, where is hee, that will not stay so long,

Till his Friend Sicknesse hath determin'd me?

War. My Lord, I found the Prince in the next Roome,

Washing with kindly Teares his gentle Cheekes,

With such a deepe demeanure, in great sorrow,

That Tyranny, which neuer quafft but blood,

Would (by beholding him) haue wash'd his Knife

With gentle eye-drops. Hee is comming hither

King. But wherefore did hee take away the Crowne?

Enter Prince Henry.

Loe, where hee comes. Come hither to me (Harry.)

Depart the Chamber, leaue vs heere alone.

Enter.

P.Hen. I neuer thought to heare you speake againe

King. Thy wish was Father (Harry) to that thought:

I stay too long by thee, I wearie thee.

Do'st thou so hunger for my emptie Chayre,

That thou wilt needes inuest thee with mine Honors,

Before thy howre be ripe? O foolish Youth!

Thou seek'st the Greatnesse, that will ouer-whelme thee.

Stay but a little: for my Cloud of Dignitie

Is held from falling, with so weake a winde,

That it will quickly drop: my Day is dimme.

Thou hast stolne that, which after some few howres

Were thine, without offence: and at my death

Thou hast seal'd vp my expectation.

Thy Life did manifest, thou lou'dst me not,

And thou wilt haue me dye assur'd of it.

Thou hid'st a thousand Daggers in thy thoughts,

Which thou hast whetted on thy stonie heart,

To stab at halfe an howre of my Life.

What? canst thou not forbeare me halfe an howre?

Then get thee gone, and digge my graue thy selfe,

And bid the merry Bels ring to thy eare

That thou art Crowned, not that I am dead.

Let all the Teares, that should bedew my Hearse

Be drops of Balme, to sanctifie thy head:

Onely compound me with forgotten dust.

Giue that, which gaue thee life, vnto the Wormes:

Plucke downe my Officers, breake my Decrees;

For now a time is come, to mocke at Forme.

Henry the fift is Crown'd: Vp Vanity,

Downe Royall State: All you sage Counsailors, hence:

And to the English Court, assemble now

From eu'ry Region, Apes of Idlenesse.

Now neighbor-Confines, purge you of your Scum:

Haue you a Ruffian that will sweare? drinke? dance?

Reuell the night? Rob? Murder? and commit

The oldest sinnes, the newest kinde of wayes?

Be happy, he will trouble you no more:

England, shall double gill'd, his trebble guilt.

England, shall giue him Office, Honor, Might:

For the Fift Harry, from curb'd License pluckes

The muzzle of Restraint; and the wilde Dogge

Shall flesh his tooth in euery Innocent.

O my poore Kingdome (sicke, with ciuill blowes)

When that my Care could not with-hold thy Ryots,

What wilt thou do, when Ryot is thy Care?

O, thou wilt be a Wildernesse againe,

Peopled with Wolues (thy old Inhabitants.)

Prince. O pardon me (my Liege)

But for my Teares,

The most Impediments vnto my Speech,

I had fore-stall'd this deere, and deepe Rebuke,

Ere you (with greefe) had spoke, and I had heard

The course of it so farre. There is your Crowne,

And he that weares the Crowne immortally,

Long guard it yours. If I affect it more,

Then as your Honour, and as your Renowne,

Let me no more from this Obedience rise,

Which my most true, and inward duteous Spirit

Teacheth this prostrate, and exteriour bending.

Heauen witnesse with me, when I heere came in,

And found no course of breath within your Maiestie,

How cold it strooke my heart. If I do faine,

O let me, in my present wildenesse, dye,

And neuer liue, to shew th' incredulous World,

The Noble change that I haue purposed.

Comming to looke on you, thinking you dead,

(And dead almost (my Liege) to thinke you were)

I spake vnto the Crowne (as hauing sense)

And thus vpbraided it. The Care on thee depending,

Hath fed vpon the body of my Father,

Therefore, thou best of Gold, art worst of Gold.

Other, lesse fine in Charract, is more precious,

Preseruing life, in Med'cine potable:

But thou, most Fine, most Honour'd, most Renown'd,

Hast eate the Bearer vp.

Thus (my Royall Liege)

Accusing it, I put it on my Head,

To try with it (as with an Enemie,

That had before my face murdred my Father)

The Quarrell of a true Inheritor.

But if it did infect my blood with Ioy,

Or swell my Thoughts, to any straine of Pride,

If any Rebell, or vaine spirit of mine,

Did, with the least Affection of a Welcome,

Giue entertainment to the might of it,

Let heauen, for euer, keepe it from my head,

And make me, as the poorest Vassaile is,

That doth with awe, and terror kneele to it

King. O my Sonne!

Heauen put it in thy minde to take it hence,

That thou might'st ioyne the more, thy Fathers loue,

Pleading so wisely, in excuse of it.

Come hither Harrie, sit thou by my bedde,

And heare (I thinke, the very latest Counsell

That euer I shall breath: Heauen knowes, my Sonne)

By what by-pathes, and indirect crook'd-wayes

I met this Crowne: and I my selfe know well

How troublesome it sate vpon my head.

To thee, it shall descend with better Quiet,

Better Opinion, better Confirmation:

For all the soyle of the Atchieuement goes

With me, into the Earth. It seem'd in mee,

But as an Honour snatch'd with boyst'rous hand,

And I had many liuing, to vpbraide

My gaine of it, by their Assistances,

Which dayly grew to Quarrell, and to Blood-shed,

Wounding supposed Peace.

All these bold Feares,

Thou seest (with perill) I haue answered:

For all my Reigne, hath beene but as a Scene

Acting that argument. And now my death

Changes the Moode: For what in me, was purchas'd,

Falles vpon thee, in a more Fayrer sort.

So thou, the Garland wear'st successiuely.

Yet, though thou stand'st more sure, then I could do,

Thou art not firme enough, since greefes are greene:

And all thy Friends, which thou must make thy Friends

Haue but their stings, and teeth, newly tak'n out,

By whose fell working, I was first aduanc'd,

And by whose power, I well might lodge a Feare

To be againe displac'd. Which to auoyd,

I cut them off: and had a purpose now

To leade out many to the Holy Land;

Least rest, and lying still, might make them looke

Too neere vnto my State.

Therefore (my Harrie)

Be it thy course to busie giddy Mindes

With Forraigne Quarrels: that Action hence borne out,

May waste the memory of the former dayes.

More would I, but my Lungs are wasted so,

That strength of Speech it vtterly deni'de mee.

How I came by the Crowne, O heauen forgiue:

And grant it may, with thee, in true peace liue

Prince. My gracious Liege:

You wonne it, wore it: kept it, gaue it me,

Then plaine and right must my possession be;

Which I, with more, then with a Common paine,

'Gainst all the World, will rightfully maintaine.

Enter Lord Iohn of Lancaster, and Warwicke.
