KING HENRY THE FOURTH Part 1
SCENE III。 Plain between the camps。
The King enters with his Power。 Alarum to the battle。 Then enter
Douglas and Sir Walter Blunt。
Blunt。 What is thy name； that in the battle thus Thou crossest me？
What honour dost thou seek Upon my head？ Doug。 Know then my name
is Douglas； And I do haunt thee in the battle thus Because some tell me
that thou art a king。 Blunt。 They tell thee true。 Doug。 The Lord of Stafford
dear to…day hath bought Thy likeness； for instead of thee； King Harry； This
sword hath ended him。 So shall it thee； Unless thou yield thee as my
prisoner。 Blunt。 I was not born a yielder； thou proud Scot； And thou shalt
find a king that will revenge Lord Stafford's death。
They fight。 Douglas kills Blunt。 Then enter Hotspur。
Hot。 O Douglas； hadst thou fought at Holmedon thus； I never had
triumph'd upon a Scot。 Doug。 All's done； all's won。 Here breathless lies the
King。 Hot。 Where？ Doug。 Here。 Hot。 This； Douglas？ No。 I know this face
full well。 A gallant knight he was； his name was Blunt； Semblably
furnish'd like the King himself。 Doug。 A fool go with thy soul； whither it
goes！ A borrowed title hast thou bought too dear： Why didst thou tell me
that thou wert a king？ Hot。 The King hath many marching in his coats。
Doug。 Now； by my sword； I will kill all his coats； I'll murder all his
wardrop； piece by piece； Until I meet the King。 Hot。 Up and away！ Our
soldiers stand full fairly for the day。 Exeunt。 Alarum。 Enter Falstaff solus。
Fal。 Though I could scape shot…free at London； I fear the shot here。
Here's no scoring but upon the pate。 Soft！ who are you？ Sir Walter Blunt。
There's honour for you！ Here's no vanity！ I am as hot as molten lead； and
as heavy too。 God keep lead out of me！ I need no more weight than mine
own bowels。 I have led my rag…of…muffins where they are pepper'd。
There's not three of my hundred and fifty left alive； and they are for the
town's end； to beg during life。 But who comes here？
Enter the Prince。
Prince。 What； stand'st thou idle here？ Lend me thy sword。 Many a
nobleman lies stark and stiff Under the hoofs of vaunting enemies； Whose
deaths are yet unreveng'd。 I prithee Rend me thy sword。 Fal。 O Hal； I

prithee give me leave to breathe awhile。 Turk Gregory never did such
deeds in arms as I have done this day。 I have paid Percy； I have made him
sure。 Prince。 He is indeed； and living to kill thee。 I prithee lend me thy
sword。 Fal。 Nay； before God； Hal； if Percy be alive； thou get'st not my
sword； but take my pistol； if thou wilt。 Prince。 Give it me。 What； is it in
the case？ Fal。 Ay； Hal。 'Tis hot； 'tis hot。 There's that will sack a city。
The Prince draws it out and finds it to he a bottle of sack。
What； is it a time to jest and dally now？ He throws the bottle at him。
Exit。 Fal。 Well； if Percy be alive； I'll pierce him。 If he do come in my way；
so； if he do not； if I come in his willingly； let him make a carbonado of me。
I like not such grinning honour as Sir Walter hath。 Give me life； which if I
can save； so； if not； honour comes unlook'd for； and there's an end。 Exit。

SCENE IV。 Another part of the field。
Alarum。 Excursions。 Enter the King； the Prince； Lord John of
Lancaster； Earl of Westmoreland
King。 I prithee； Harry； withdraw thyself； thou bleedest too much。
Lord John of Lancaster； go you unto him。 John。 Not I； my lord； unless I
did bleed too。 Prince。 I do beseech your Majesty make up； Lest Your
retirement do amaze your friends。 King。 I will do so。 My Lord of
Westmoreland； lead him to his tent。 West。 Come； my lord； I'll lead you to
your tent。 Prince。 Lead me； my lord； I do not need your help； And God
forbid a shallow scratch should drive The Prince of Wales from such a
field as this； Where stain'd nobility lies trodden on； And rebels' arms
triumph in massacres！ John。 We breathe too long。 Come； cousin
Westmoreland； Our duty this way lies。 For God's sake； come。 ＇Exeunt
Prince John and Westmoreland。＇ Prince。 By God； thou hast deceiv'd me；
Lancaster！ I did not think thee lord of such a spirit。 Before； I lov'd thee as
a brother； John； But now； I do respect thee as my soul。 King。 I saw him
hold Lord Percy at the point With lustier maintenance than I did look for
Of such an ungrown warrior。 Prince。 O； this boy Lends mettle to us all！
Exit。
Enter Douglas。
Doug。 Another king？ They grow like Hydra's heads。 I am the Douglas；
fatal to all those That wear those colours on them。 What art thou That
counterfeit'st the person of a king？ King。 The King himself； who； Douglas；
grieves at heart So many of his shadows thou hast met； And not the very
King。 I have two boys Seek Percy and thyself about the field； But； seeing
thou fall'st on me so luckily； I will assay thee。 So defend thyself。 Doug。 I
fear thou art another counterfeit； And yet； in faith； thou bearest thee like a
king。 But mine I am sure thou art； whoe'er thou be； And thus I win thee。
They fight。 The King being in danger； enter Prince of Wales。
Prince。 Hold up thy head； vile Scot； or thou art like Never to hold it
up again！ The spirits Of valiant Shirley； Stafford； Blunt are in my arms。 It
is the Prince of Wales that threatens thee； Who never promiseth but he
means to pay。 They fight。 Douglas flieth。 Cheerly； my lord。 How fares

your Grace？ Sir Nicholas Gawsey hath for succour sent； And so hath
Clifton。 I'll to Clifton straight。 King。 Stay and breathe awhile。 Thou hast
redeem'd thy lost opinion； And show'd thou mak'st some tender of my life；
In this fair rescue thou hast brought to me。 Prince。 O God！ they did me too
much injury That ever said I heark'ned for your death。 If it were so； I
might have let alone The insulting hand of Douglas over you； Which
would have been as speedy in your end As all the poisonous potions in the
world； And sav'd the treacherous labour of your son。 King。 Make up to
Clifton； I'll to Sir Nicholas Gawsey。 Exit。
Enter Hotspur。
Hot。 If I mistake not； thou art Harry Monmouth。 Prince。 Thou
speak'st as if I would deny my name。 Hot。 My name is Harry Percy。 Prince。
Why； then I see A very valiant rebel of the name。 I am the Prince of Wales；
and think not； Percy； To share with me in glory any more。 Two stars keep
not their motion in one sphere； Nor can one England brook a double reign
Of Harry Percy and the Prince of Wales。 Hot。 Nor shall it； Harry； for the
hour is come To end the one of us and would to God Thy name in arms
were now as great as mine！ Prince。 I'll make it greater ere I part from thee；
And all the budding honours on thy crest I'll crop to make a garland for
my head。 Hot。 I can no longer brook thy vanities。 They fight。
Enter Falstaff。
Fal。 Well said； Hal！ to it； Hal！ Nay； you shall find no boy's play here；
I can tell you。
Enter Douglas。 He fighteth with Falstaff； who falls down as if
he were dead。 ＇Exit Douglas。＇ The Prince killeth Percy。
Hot。 O Harry； thou hast robb'd me of my youth！ I better brook the
loss of brittle life Than those proud titles thou hast won of me。 They
wound my thoughts worse than thy sword my flesh。 But thoughts the slave；
of life； and life time's fool； And time； that takes survey of all the world；
Must have a stop。 O； I could prophesy； But that the earthy and cold hand
of death Lies on my tongue。 No； Percy； thou art dust； And food for… ＇Dies。＇
Prince。 For worms； brave Percy。 Fare thee well； great heart！ Ill…weav'd
ambition； how much art thou shrunk！ When that this body did contain a
spirit； A kingdom for it was too small a bound； But now two paces of the

vilest earth Is room enough。 This earth that bears thee dead Bears not alive
so stout a gentleman。 If thou wert sensible of courtesy； I should not make
so dear a show of zeal。 But let my favours hide thy mangled face； And；
even in thy behalf； I'll thank myself For doing these fair rites of tenderness。
Adieu； and take thy praise with thee to heaven！ Thy ignominy sleep with
thee in the grave； But not rememb'red in thy epitaph！ He spieth Falstaff on
the ground。 What； old acquaintance？ Could not all this flesh Keep in a
little life？ Poor Jack； farewell！ I could have better spar'd a better man。 O； I
should have a heavy miss of thee If I were much in love with vanity！
Death hath not struck so fat a deer to…day； Though many dearer； in this
bloody fray。 Embowell'd will I see thee by…and…by； Till then in blood by
noble Percy lie。 Exit。
Falstaff riseth up。 Fal。 Embowell'd？ If thou embowel me to…day； I'll
give you leave to powder me and eat me too to…morrow。 'Sblood； 'twas
time to counterfeit； or that hot termagant Scot had paid me scot and lot too。
Counterfeit？ I lie； I am no counterfeit。 To die is to be a counterfeit； for he
is but the counterfeit of a man who hath not the life of a man； but to
counterfeit dying when a man thereby liveth； is to be no counterfeit； but
the true and perfect image of life indeed。 The better part of valour is
discretion； in the which better
