Oh my good Lord, why are you thus alone? For what offence have I this fortnight been A banished woman from my Harries bed? Tell me sweet Lord, what is't that takes from thee Thy stomach, pleasure, and thy golden sleep? Why dost thou bend thine eyes upon the earth? And start so often when thou I st alone? Why hast thou lost the fresh blood in thy cheeks? And given my treasures and my rights of thee To thick eyed musing, and cursed melancholy? In thy faint slumbers I by thee have watched, And herd the murmur, tales of iron wars, Speak terms of manage to thy bounding steed, Cry courage to the field. And thou hast talked Of sallies, and retires of trenches tents, Of pal izadoes, frontiers, parapets, Of basilisks, of canon, culverin, Of prisoners ransom, and of soldiers slain, And all the currents of a heddy figh Thy spirit within thee hath been so at war, And thus hath so bestird thee in thy sleeepe, That beads of sweat have stood upon thy brow Like bubbles in a late disturbed stream And in thy face strange motions have appeared, Such as we see when men restrain their breath, On some great sudden hest. Oh what portents are these? Some heavy business hath my Lord in hand, And I must know it else he loves me not. But hear you my Lord. What is it carries you away? Out you madheaded ape, a weazel hath not such a deal of spleen as you are tossed with. In faith isle know your business Harry that I will, I fear my brother Mortimer does stir about his title, and hath sent for you to line his enterprise, but if you go. Come, come you Paraquito, answer me directly unto this question that I ask, in faith isle break thy little finger Har ry and if thou wilt not tell me all things true. Do you not love me? do you not indeed? Well, do not then, for since you love me not I will not love my self. Do you not love me? Nay tell me if you speak in jest or no? How, so far. Go you giddy goose. Then should you be nothing but musical, For you are altogether governed by humours, Lie still you thief, and hear the Lady sing in Welsh. Wouldst thou have thy head broken? Then be still. Now God help thee. Whats that? I will not sing. Not mine in good sooth. It must of force. Exeunt
Plot summary
Plot — 1 Henry the Fourth
Civil war has ended in England, and King H@nryiliV intends to take an English army on a crusade to liberate the Holy Land. The enterprise is delayed by continuing military instability on England’s borders. Lord MOGrfimer has been defeated in battle by Owen Glemd@Wer and taken a prisoner to Wales. In the north, H@#Splr has had better success against the Scots, but refuses to hand over his prisoners until King Henry ransoms Mortimer. But Mortimer has thrown in his lot with Glendower, so Henry refuses. TH@IPEFGy family suspects an ulterior motive: Mortimer was proclaimed heir to the throne during the previous reign, so the King has good reason to want him off the scene. Led by tH@IBAPINSPIWSreeSter, the Percies plan to put together an alliance to rise in rebellion against the King; to that end, Hotspur releases his Scottish prisoners without ransom. THEMPHNCeMSMWales spends his time idly with . BaIStaif and Poyntz, secretly intending to use his bad reputation as a foil to a subsequent reformation. They plan and execute a highway robbery, but the Prince and Poyntz disguise themselves and rob Falstaff in turn. In the tavern afterwards, Falstaffs account of these events grows progressively more inflated and extravagant; but, when confronted with the truth, he claims he knew it was the Prince all the time. News of the Percies’ plans reaches the King, and Prince Henry is summoned to court. Falstaff helps the Prince with a rehearsal: at first he plays the King, but his performance is over-partial towards himself, so the Prince takes over the part and declares that he will banish Falstaff. A hue and cry after the robbery leads the SHEfiffito the tavern, but the Prince puts him off and later pays back the stolen money; he then plans to obtain a military commission for Falstaff. The rebel lords meet to agree the division of the kingdom, but Hotspur is not satisfied with his share. The Prince tells his admonishing father that he will redeem himself in battle. Troops are mobilized, and the armies meet at Shrewsbury. The rebels are depleted: Glendower’s forces are not ready and N@rthumiberland falls sick; Hotspur sees greater honour in the longer odds, WGreester only greater risk. In the parleys before battle, the Prince offers to settle things in single combat with Hotspur, but Worcester and WerniGn, knowing that the King will never trust them again, decide to keep this from Hotspur. In the battle, many of the King’s troops are dressed in bis colours, and are killed in…
