Victorious Edward, to whom the Scottish kings Owe ho age as their lord and sovereign, Amongst us nine, is but one lawful king: But might we all be judges in the case, Then should in Scotland be nine kings at once, And this contention never set or limited, To stay these jars we jointly make appeal, To thy imperial throne, who knows our claims, We stand not on our titles before your grace, But do submit our selves to your award, And whom your Majesty shall name to be our king, To him weel yield obedience as a king, Thus willingly, and of their own accord, Does Scotland make great England's king their judge. Thanks royal England for thy honour done, This justice that hath calmed our civil strife: Shall now be ceased with honourable love, So moved of remorse and pity, We will erect a college of my name, In Oxford will I built for memory, Of Balliols bounty and his gratitude: And let me happy days no longer see, Then here to England loyal I shall be. Then h e away as swift as swallow lies, And meet e on our roads on England's ground, We there hinke of thy message and thy . Princes of Scotland and my loving friends. Whose necks are overwearied with the yoke. And servile bondage of these Englishmen, List up your horns, and with your brazen hoofes, Spur at the honour of your Enemies. 'Tis not ambitious thoughts of private rule, Hath foe st your king to take on him these Arms, 'Tis countries cause, it is the commons good, Of us and of our brave posterity, to arms, to arms. Versses by this hath told the King our minds, And he hath braved proud England to the proof, We will renumerate his resolution, With gold, with glory, and with kingly gifts. Welcome Versses, what news from England? Like to the measure of Scotland's King? You took the chain and give my Grace the rope, Lay hold on him, why miscrea ̄ to recreant, And darest thou bring a halter to thy King? But I will quite thy pain, and in that chain, Upon a silver Gallows shalt thou hang, That honoured with a golden rope of England, And a silver Gibbet of Scotland, Thou mayest hang in the air for fowls to feed upon, And men to wonder at, away with him away. I took this lesson Edward from my book, To keep a joust equality of mind, Content with every fortune as it comes, So can thou threat no more then I expect. Then will I keep insilence what I mean, Since Edward thinks my meaning is not good. If cunning have power to win the king, Let those employ it that can flatter him. If honoured deed may reconcile the King, It lies in me to give and him to take. A geance as becomes a royal king. The greater hope in them that once have fallen. There take my crown and so redeem my life.
Plot summary
Plot — Edward the First
Edwardilongshanks returns from the crusades to find that in his absence both his father and his son have 1591 died, and that he is now King of England. He makes provision to house his wounded veterans, and all the nobility contribute handsomely. His @W@8n asks him to defer the coronation to give her time to send to Spain for the latest fashions. MEW was planning to take advantage of Edward’s absence to secure his power in Wales. A Welshliprophet encourages him with the assertion that he will mount higher than all his kin. Now he intends reprisals against Edward for the detention of his betrothed wife, DA@VMEI@HGr, daughter of an English rebel. His brother DaWid, a spy in the English court, proposes getting himself captured by the Welsh in order to create a pretext for an exchange of prisoners. The plan goes awry when the Welsh soldiers agree to make peace with the English, on condition that Edward does not impose direct rule from England. Llewelyn and his entourage pose as Robin Hood, and waylay passers-by in the forest. M@riimiér, who loves Lady Eleanor, goes to Wales and joins in the masquerade by assuming the identity of the potter from the Robin Hood story; but this means he gets a thrashing. To comply with the Welsh demand for a Welsh-born prince, Edward summons the pregnant Queen to Wales, where she gives birth to a son: Edward, Prince of Wales. The loyal Welsh present the child with a frieze mantle, but the Queen takes offence at the homespun fabric. Edward promises her a boon, and she demands that the English men should cut their long hair and beards, and that the English women’s breasts should be likewise amputated; Edward is forced to consent, but the Queen is displeased that he insists on being the first to go under the barber, and withdraws her request when he proposes that she should likewise undergo the first mastectomy. Prince Edward is christened and the Queen’s daughter, J6am, married to the BarllshiGlowcester. The nine lords of Scotland are unable to agree which of them should be king, so they approach Edward to adjudicate. He crowns JOHHMBalliG], who endows an Oxford college in gratitude, but later asserts Scotland’s independence from England. In Wales, Edward is set upon by Llewelyn and his crew of outlaws, who demand half his money. Instead he proposes single combat, winner take all. Llewelyn is beaten, but Edward spares his life in order to save Mortimer. He then goes to deal with the Scottish insurrection, leaving Mortimer to mop up…
