Full speech
My Lord, my Lord, avoid a woman's humour, If you resist this tumor of her will, Here you shall have her dwell upon this passion, Until she lade and dull our ears again: Seem you but sorry for what you have done, And straight shéele put the finger in the e e, With comfort now, since it cannot be helped: But make you show to justify the act If ever other language in her lips, Then out upon it, it is abominable, I dare be hanged, Say any thing it makes no matter what, Then thus be wearied with a woman's chat. Ho good fellow, saw thou not the King? Sirrah beware you speak not treason. Her Highness and your mother my dread Lord, Are both invited by Sir Humphrey Bows, Where they intend to feast and lodge this night, And do expect your Graces presence there. Sir Humphrey Bows may take the most conceit, But whats the end, the King will have his pleasure? Oh passing well my Liege, you may be merry for these happy news. My name is Tom Twist? Whats that? Thinkest thou so Tanner: Ned he offers you saire, if you have the grace to take it. If thou dost not Ned, by my troth I beshrew thee. Faith Ned thou mayest live to make her a Lady. Well sung good fellows, I would the King herd ye. We are none such, let our horses be brought out, For we must a way, and so with thanks farewell. Nor I my Liege, were Sellinger a King, He could afford Shores wife to be a Queen. My Lord in Holborne it my hap to see him Gazing about, I sent away my men, And clapping on one of their livery cloak , Came to him, and the Tanner knew we strait, How dost thou Tom? and how does Ned quoth he That honest merry hangman, how does he? I knowing that your Majesty intended This day in person to come to the Tower, There bade him meet me, where Ned and I, Would bring him to the presence of the King, And there procure a pardon for his son. I warrant the my Lord let me alone. What John Hobs? welcome i'faith to court, See where he stands, that same is he. I warrant thee Tanner, fear not thy sons life. Madam, she is the mirror of her kind, H worser she but so much spleen as hath a gnat,, Her spirits would startle to abide your taunts, She is a Sain , and Madam you blaspheme, oh wrong so sweet a Lady. Madam but that you are my sovereigns mother, I would let you know you wrong a Gentleman, Shrewdly spoken Tanner by my say. Then thoult be hanged. Fare well fellow, speak well of the King, I thank ye fair maid.
Plot summary
Plot — 1 Edward the Fourth
Although he has made diplomatic arrangements to marry a French princess, King Edward impulsively takes an English bride instead, much to his mother's disapproval. The bastard Falconbridge leads a rebellion to reinstate the deposed King Henry VI. The London authorities prepare the city's defences: Falconbridge is unable to penetrate the gates, the city apprentices make a significant contribution to the battle, and the rebels are beaten back to Mile End. When they regroup, the Londoners rout them again, and Matthew Shore defeats a rearguard attempt to take the city while the militia are at Mile End. The King rewards the civic officials with knighthoods, but Shore modestly declines. Falconbridge flees with a price on his head, and he and his associate Spicing plan to betray one another and claim the reward. A miller captures Spicing, but Falconbridge escapes. Spicing is hanged by his former comrade in arms, Chub. While out hunting, members of the court encounter Hobs the tanner. King Edward, pretending to be his own butler, tries to induce Hobs to say something uncomplimentary or treasonous about him, but fails. He accepts the tanner's invitation to supper, where he takes a fancy to Hobs's daughter Nell. Meanwhile, things are going King Edward's way: his brother Gloucester sends word that King Henry VI is dead, and Falconbridge is captured and executed. Back in London, he dines with the Lord Mayor, where he meets Jane Shore. He is attracted to her and grapples with his conscience, but later visits her incognito in her husband's shop. Initially she rejects his advances, but Mistress Blague, who hopes to acquire status and influence through her, advises her to submit to adultery. While her husband confides his suspicio ns to the Lord Mayor, she absconds to court. Shore gives away all his property and goes into exile. En route he encounters Jane, now a sought-after power-broker trying to deal justly with the people who seek her influence with the King; one of them, Jockie, she entertains as a servant. On recognizing her husband she regrets her betrayal, but he refuses to take her back: she now belongs to the King. Meanwhile, Edward pursues his claim to the French throne. Planning an invasion but financially depleted after the civil war and rebellion, he seeks support from his subjects, not by taxation or forced loan but voluntary contributions. Hobs's generosity shames his fellows into giving more. He comes to London to try and procure a pardon for his son, who…
