sneaking home； My father gave him welcome to the shore； And when he
heard him swear and vow to God He came but to be Duke of Lancaster； To
sue his livery and beg his peace； With tears of innocency and terms of zeal；
My father； in kind heart and pity mov'd； Swore him assistance； and
performed it too。 Now； when the lords and barons of the realm Perceiv'd
Northumberland did lean to him； The more and less came in with cap and
knee； Met him on boroughs； cities； villages； Attended him on bridges；
stood in lanes； Laid gifts before him； proffer'd him their oaths； Give him
their heirs as pages； followed him Even at the heels in golden multitudes。
He presently； as greatness knows itself； Steps me a little higher than his
vow Made to my father； while his blood was poor； Upon the naked shore
at Ravenspurgh； And now； forsooth； takes on him to reform Some certain
edicts and some strait decrees That lie too heavy on the commonwealth；
Cries out upon abuses； seems to weep Over his country's wrongs； and by
this face； This seeming brow of justice； did he win The hearts of all that he
did angle for； Proceeded further… cut me off the heads Of all the favourites
that the absent King In deputation left behind him here When he was
personal in the Irish war。 But。 Tut！ I came not to hear this。 Hot。 Then to the
point。 In short time after lie depos'd the King； Soon after that depriv'd him
of his life； And in the neck of that task'd the whole state； To make that
worse； suff'red his kinsman March （Who is； if every owner were well
placid； Indeed his king） to be engag'd in Wales； There without ransom to
lie forfeited； Disgrac'd me in my happy victories； Sought to entrap me by
intelligence； Rated mine uncle from the Council board； In rage dismiss'd
my father from the court； Broke an oath on oath； committed wrong on
wrong； And in conclusion drove us to seek out This head of safety； and
withal to pry Into his title； the which we find Too indirect for long
continuance。 Blunt。 Shall I return this answer to the King？ Hot。 Not so； Sir

Walter。 We'll withdraw awhile。 Go to the King； and let there be impawn'd
Some surety for a safe return again； And In the morning early shall mine
uncle Bring him our purposes； and so farewell。 Blunt。 I would you would
accept of grace and love。 Hot。 And may be so we shall。 Blunt。 Pray God
you do。 Exeunt。

SCENE IV。 York。 The Archbishop's Palace。
Enter the Archbishop of York and Sir Michael。
Arch。 Hie； good Sir Michael； bear this sealed brief With winged haste
to the Lord Marshal； This to my cousin Scroop； and all the rest To whom
they are directed。 If you knew How much they do import； you would make
haste。 Sir M。 My good lord； I guess their tenour。 Arch。 Like enough you do。
To…morrow； good Sir Michael； is a day Wherein the fortune of ten
thousand men Must bide the touch； for； sir； at Shrewsbury； As I am truly
given to understand； The King with mighty and quick…raised power Meets
with Lord Harry； and I fear； Sir Michael； What with the sickness of
Northumberland； Whose power was in the first proportion； And what with
Owen Glendower's absence thence； Who with them was a rated sinew too
And comes not in； overrul'd by prophecies… I fear the power of Percy is too
weak To wage an instant trial with the King。 Sir M。 Why； my good lord；
you need not fear； There is Douglas and Lord Mortimer。 Arch。 No；
Mortimer is not there。 Sir M。 But there is Mordake； Vernon； Lord Harry
Percy； And there is my Lord of Worcester； and a head Of gallant warriors；
noble gentlemen。 Arch。 And so there is； but yet the King hath drawn The
special head of all the land together… The Prince of Wales； Lord John of
Lancaster； The noble Westmoreland and warlike Blunt； And many moe
corrivals and dear men Of estimation and command in arms。 Sir M。 Doubt
not； my lord； they shall be well oppos'd。 Arch。 I hope no less； yet needful
'tis to fear； And； to prevent the worst； Sir Michael； speed。 For if Lord
Percy thrive not； ere the King Dismiss his power； he means to visit us； For
he hath heard of our confederacy； And 'tis but wisdom to make strong
against him。 Therefore make haste。 I must go write again To other friends；
and so farewell； Sir Michael。 Exeunt。

SCENE I。 The King's camp near Shrewsbury。
Enter the King； Prince of Wales； Lord John of Lancaster； Sir Walter
Blunt； Falstaff。
King。 How bloodily the sun begins to peer Above yon busky hill！ The
day looks pale At his distemp'rature。 Prince。 The southern wind Doth play
the trumpet to his purposes And by his hollow whistling in the leaves
Foretells a tempest and a blust'ring day。 King。 Theft with the losers let it
sympathize； For nothing can seem foul to those that win。
The trumpet sounds。 Enter Worcester ＇and Vernon＇。
How； now； my Lord of Worcester？ 'Tis not well That you and I should
meet upon such terms As now we meet。 You have deceiv'd our trust And
made us doff our easy robes of peace To crush our old limbs in ungentle
steel。 This is not well； my lord； this is not well。 What say you to it？ Will
you again unknit This churlish knot of all…abhorred war； And move in that
obedient orb again Where you did give a fair and natural light； And be no
more an exhal'd meteor； A prodigy of fear； and a portent Of broached
mischief to the unborn times？ Wor。 Hear me； my liege。 For mine own part；
I could be well content To entertain the lag…end of my life With quiet
hours； for I do protest I have not sought the day of this dislike。 King。 You
have not sought it！ How comes it then； Fal。 Rebellion lay in his way； and
he found it。 Prince。 Peace； chewet； peace！ Wor。 It pleas'd your Majesty to
turn your looks Of favour from myself and all our house； And yet I must
remember you； my lord； We were the first and dearest of your friends。 For
you my staff of office did I break In Richard's time； and posted day and
night To meet you on the way and kiss your hand When yet you were in
place and in account Nothing so strong and fortunate as I。 It was myself；
my brother； and his son That brought you home and boldly did outdare
The dangers of the time。 You swore to us； And you did swear that oath at
Doncaster； That you did nothing purpose 'gainst the state； Nor claim no
further than your new…fall'n right； The seat of Gaunt； dukedom of
Lancaster。 To this we swore our aid。 But in short space It it rain'd down
fortune show'ring on your head； And such a flood of greatness fell on you…
What with our help； what with the absent King； What with the injuries of a

wanton time； The seeming sufferances that you had borne； And the
contrarious win
