he will compel; And bids you; in the bowels of the Lord; Deliver up the 

crown;   and   to   take   mercy   On   the   poor   souls   for   whom  this   hungry   war 

Opens   his   vasty   jaws;   and   on   your   head   Turning   the   widows'   tears;   the 

orphans'     cries;  The   dead    men's   blood;    the  privy   maidens'    groans;    For 

husbands;   fathers;   and   betrothed   lovers;  That   shall   be   swallowed   in   this 

controversy。 This is his claim; his threat'ning; and my message; Unless the 

Dauphin   be   in   presence   here;   To   whom   expressly   I   bring   greeting   too。 

FRENCH KING。 For us; we will consider of this further; To…morrow shall 

you bear our full intent Back to our brother of England。 DAUPHIN。 For 

the Dauphin: I stand here for him。 What to him from England? EXETER。 

Scorn   and   defiance;   slight   regard;   contempt; And   anything   that   may   not 

misbecome The mighty sender; doth he prize you at。 Thus says my king: 

an   if   your   father's   Highness   Do   not;   in   grant   of   all   demands   at   large; 

Sweeten the bitter mock you sent his Majesty; He'll call you to so hot an 

answer of it That caves and womby vaultages of France Shall chide your 

trespass     and   return   your    mock     In  second     accent    of  his   ordinance。 

DAUPHIN。 Say; if my father render fair return; It is against my will; for I 

desire   Nothing   but   odds   with   England。   To   that   end; As   matching   to   his 

youth and vanity; I did present him with the Paris balls。 EXETER。  He'll 

make your Paris Louvre shake for it; Were it the mistress court of mighty 

Europe; And be assur'd you'll find a difference; As we his subjects have in 

wonder   found;   Between   the   promise   of   his   greener   days   And   these   he 

masters now。 Now he weighs time Even to the utmost grain; that you shall 

read In your own losses; if he stay in France。 FRENCH KING。 To…morrow 

shall you know our mind at full。 EXETER。 Dispatch us with all speed; lest 

that our king Come here himself to question our delay; For he is footed in 

this land already。 FRENCH KING。 You shall be soon dispatch'd with fair 

conditions。 

       A night is but small breath and little pause To answer matters of this 

consequence。 Flourish。 Exeunt

                                  ACT III。 



    PROLOGUE。 

    Flourish。 Enter CHORUS 

       CHORUS。 Thus with imagin'd wing our swift scene flies; In motion 

of no less celerity Than that of thought。 Suppose that you have seen The 

well…appointed King at Hampton pier   Embark his royalty; and his brave 

fleet   With   silken   streamers   the   young   Phorbus   fanning。   Play   with   your 

fancies; and in them behold Upon the hempen tackle ship…boys climbing; 

Hear the shrill whistle which doth order give To sounds confus'd; behold 

the threaden sails; Borne  with th' invisible and   creeping wind; Draw  the 

huge bottoms through the furrowed sea; Breasting the lofty surge。 O; do 

but think You   stand upon the  rivage   and   behold A  city  on th' inconstant 

billows dancing; For so appears this fleet majestical; Holding due course 

to Harfleur。 Follow; follow! Grapple your minds to sternage of this navy 

And leave your England as dead midnight still; Guarded with grandsires; 

babies;  and   old   women;   Either   past   or not   arriv'd to   pith   and   puissance; 

For who is he whose chin is but enrich'd With one appearing hair that will 

not follow These cull'd and choice…drawn cavaliers to France? Work; work 

your   thoughts;   and   therein  see  a   siege;  Behold  the  ordnance   on   their 

carriages;   With    fatal  mouths   gaping   on   girded  Harfleur。   Suppose    th' 

ambassador from the French comes back; Tells Harry that the King doth 

offer him Katherine his daughter; and with her to dowry Some petty and 

unprofitable dukedoms。 The offer likes not; and the nimble gunner With 

linstock now the devilish cannon touches; 'Alarum; and chambers go off' 

And     down    goes   an  before   them。    Still  be  kind;  And    eke   out  our 

performance with your mind。 Exit

                            KING HENRY THE FIFTH 



                 SCENE I。 France。 Before Harfleur 



    Alarum。 Enter the KING; EXETER; BEDFORD; GLOUCESTER; and 

soldiers with scaling…ladders 

      KING。 Once more unto the breach; dear friends; once more; Or close 

the wall up with our English dead。 In peace there's nothing so becomes a 

man As modest stillness and humility; But when the blast of war blows in 

our ears; Then imitate the action of the tiger: Stiffen the sinews; summon 

up the blood; Disguise fair nature with hard…favour'd rage; Then lend the 

eye a terrible aspect; Let it pry through the portage of the head Like the 

brass cannon: let the brow o'erwhelm it As fearfully as doth a galled rock 

O'erhang and jutty his confounded base; Swill'd with the wild and wasteful 

ocean。 Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide; Hold hard the breath; 

and bend up every spirit To his full height。 On; on; you noblest English; 

Whose blood is fet from fathers of war…proof… Fathers that like so many 

Alexanders Have in these parts from morn till even fought; And sheath'd 

their swords for lack of argument。 Dishonour not your mothers; now attest 

That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you。 Be copy now to men of 

grosser blood; And teach them how to war。 And you; good yeomen; Whose 

limbs were made in England; show us here The mettle of your pasture; let 

us swear That you are worth your breeding… which I doubt not; For there is 

none of you so mean and base That hath not noble lustre in your eyes。 I 

see you stand like greyhounds in   the slips; Straining   upon the start。 The 

game's afoot: Follow your spirit; and upon this charge Cry 'God for Harry; 

England; and Saint George!' 'Exeunt。 Alarum; and chambers go off'

                         SCENE II。 Before Harfleur 



     Enter NYM; BARDOLPH; PISTOL; and BOY 

       BARDOLPH。 On; on; on; on; on! to the breach; to the breach! NYM。 

Pray thee; Corporal; stay; the knocks are too hot; and for mine own part I 

have not a case of lives。 The humour of it is too hot; that is the very plain… 

song of it。 PISTOL。 The plain…song is most just; for humours do abound: 

       Knocks   go   and   come;   God's   vassals   drop   and   die; And   sword   and 

shield In bloody field Doth win immortal fame。 

       BOY。 Would I were in an alehouse in London! I wouid give all my 

fame for a pot of ale and safety。 PISTOL。 And I: 

       If wishes would prevail with me; My purpose should not fail with me; 

But thither would I hie。 

       BOY。 As duly; but not as truly; As bird doth sing on bough。 

       Enter FLUELLEN 

       FLUELLEN。        Up    to  the  breach;   you   dogs!   Avaunt;    you   cullions! 

'Driving     them   forward'     PISTOL。     Be   merciful;   great   duke;   to  men   of 

mould。 A
