Bite； I pray you； it is good for your green wound and your ploody
coxcomb。 PISTOL。 Must I bite？ FLUELLEN。 Yes； certainly； and out of

doubt； and out of question too； and ambiguides。 PISTOL。 By this leek； I
will most horribly revenge… I eat and eat； I swear… FLUELLEN。 Eat； I pray
you； will you have some more sauce to your leek？ There is not enough
leek to swear by。 PISTOL。 Quiet thy cudgel： thou dost see I eat。
FLUELLEN。 Much good do you； scald knave； heartily。 Nay； pray you
throw none away； the skin is good for your broken coxcomb。 When you
take occasions to see leeks hereafter； I pray you mock at 'em； that is all。
PISTOL。 Good。 FLUELLEN。 Ay； leeks is good。 Hold you； there is a groat
to heal your pate。 PISTOL。 Me a groat！ FLUELLEN。 Yes； verily and in
truth； you shall take it； or I have another leek in my pocket which you
shall eat。 PISTOL。 I take thy groat in earnest of revenge。 FLUELLEN。 If I
owe you anything I will pay you in cudgels； you shall be a woodmonger；
and buy nothing of me but cudgels。 God bye you； and keep you； and heal
your pate。 Exit PISTOL。 All hell shall stir for this。 GOWER。 Go； go： you
are a couterfeit cowardly knave。 Will you mock at an ancient tradition；
begun upon an honourable respect； and worn as a memorable trophy of
predeceased valour； and dare not avouch in your deeds any of your words？
I have seen you gleeking and galling at this gentleman twice or thrice。 You
thought； because he could not speak English in the native garb； he could
not therefore handle an English cudgel； you find it otherwise； and
henceforth let a Welsh correction teach you a good English condition。 Fare
ye well。 Exit PISTOL。 Doth Fortune play the huswife with me now？ News
have I that my Nell is dead i' th' spital Of malady of France； And there my
rendezvous is quite cut off。 Old I do wax； and from my weary limbs
Honour is cudgell'd。 Well； bawd I'll turn； And something lean to cutpurse
of quick hand。 To England will I steal； and there I'll steal； And patches will
I get unto these cudgell'd scars； And swear I got them in the Gallia wars。
Exit

SCENE II。 France。 The FRENCH KING'S palace
Enter at one door； KING HENRY； EXETER； BEDFORD；
GLOUCESTER； WARWICK； WESTMORELAND； and other LORDS； at
another； the FRENCH KING； QUEEN ISABEL； the PRINCESS
KATHERINE； ALICE； and other LADIES； the DUKE OF BURGUNDY；
and his train
KING HENRY。 Peace to this meeting； wherefore we are met！ Unto
our brother France； and to our sister； Health and fair time of day； joy and
good wishes To our most fair and princely cousin Katherine。 And； as a
branch and member of this royalty； By whom this great assembly is
contriv'd； We do salute you； Duke of Burgundy。 And； princes French； and
peers； health to you all！ FRENCH KING。 Right joyous are we to behold
your face； Most worthy brother England； fairly met！ So are you； princes
English； every one。 QUEEN ISABEL。 So happy be the issue； brother
England； Of this good day and of this gracious meeting As we are now
glad to behold your eyes… Your eyes； which hitherto have home in them；
Against the French that met them in their bent； The fatal balls of
murdering basilisks； The venom of such looks； we fairly hope； Have lost
their quality； and that this day Shall change all griefs and quarrels into
love。 KING HENRY。 To cry amen to that； thus we appear。 QUEEN
ISABEL。 You English princes an； I do salute you。 BURGUNDY。 My duty
to you both； on equal love； Great Kings of France and England！ That I
have labour'd With all my wits； my pains； and strong endeavours； To bring
your most imperial Majesties Unto this bar and royal interview； Your
mightiness on both parts best can witness。 Since then my office hath so far
prevail'd That face to face and royal eye to eye You have congreeted； let it
not disgrace me If I demand； before this royal view； What rub or what
impediment there is Why that the naked； poor； and mangled Peace； Dear
nurse of arts； plenties； and joyful births； Should not in this best garden of
the world； Our fertile France； put up her lovely visage？ Alas； she hath
from France too long been chas'd！ And all her husbandry doth lie on heaps；
Corrupting in it own fertility。 Her vine； the merry cheerer of the heart；
Unpruned dies； her hedges even…pleach'd； Like prisoners wildly

overgrown with hair； Put forth disorder'd twigs； her fallow leas The darnel；
hemlock； and rank fumitory； Doth root upon； while that the coulter rusts
That should deracinate such savagery； The even mead； that erst brought
sweetly forth The freckled cowslip； burnet； and green clover； Wanting the
scythe； all uncorrected； rank； Conceives by idleness； and nothing teems
But hateful docks； rough thistles； kecksies； burs； Losing both beauty and
utility。 And as our vineyards； fallows； meads； and hedges； Defective in
their natures； grow to wildness； Even so our houses and ourselves and
children Have lost； or do not learn for want of time； The sciences that
should become our country； But grow； like savages… as soldiers will； That
nothing do but meditate on blood… To swearing and stern looks； diffus'd
attire； And everything that seems unnatural。 Which to reduce into our
former favout You are assembled； and my speech entreats That I may
know the let why gentle Peace Should not expel these inconveniences And
bless us with her former qualities。 KING HENRY。 If； Duke of Burgundy；
you would the peace Whose want gives growth to th' imperfections Which
you have cited； you must buy that peace With full accord to all our just
demands； Whose tenours and particular effects You have； enschedul'd
briefly； in your hands。 BURGUNDY。 The King hath heard them； to the
which as yet There is no answer made。 KING HENRY。 Well then； the
peace； Which you before so urg'd； lies in his answer。 FRENCH KING。 I
have but with a cursorary eye O'erglanced the articles； pleaseth your Grace
To appoint some of your council presently To sit with us once more； with
better heed To re…survey them； we will suddenly Pass our accept and
peremptory answer。 KING HENRY。 Brother； we shall。 Go； uncle Exeter；
And brother Clarence； and you； brother Gloucester； Warwick； and
Huntington； go with the King； And take with you free power to ratify；
Augment； or alter； as your wisdoms best Shall see advantageable for our
dignity； Any thing in or out of our demands； And we'll consign thereto。
Will you； fair sister； Go with the princes or stay here with us？ QUEEN
ISABEL。 Our gracious brother； I will go with them； Haply a woman's
voice may do some good； When articles too nicely urg'd be stood on。
KING HENRY。 Yet leave our cousin Katherine here with us； She is our
capital demand； compris'd Within the fore…rank of our articles。 QUEEN

ISABEL。 She hath good leave。 Exeunt all but the KING； KATHERINE；
and ALICE KING HENRY。 Fair Katherine； and most fair； Will you
vouchsafe to teach a soldier terms Such as will enter at a lady's ear； And
plead his love…suit to her gentle heart？ KATHERINE。 Your Majesty shall
mock me； I cannot speak your England。 KING HENRY。 O fair Katherine；
if you will love me soundly with your French heart； I will be glad to hear
you confess it brokenly with your English tongue。 Do you like me； Kate？
KATHERINE。 Pardonnez…moi； I cannot tell vat is like me。 KING HENRY。
An angel is like you； Kate； and you a
