Health, peace and happiness to my royal father. You are well encountered here, my cousin Mowbray, Good day to you, gentle Lord Archbishop, And so to you Lord Hastings and to all. My Lord of York, it better showed with you, When that your flock assembled by the bell, Encircled you, to hear with reverence, Your exposition on the holy text, That now to see you here, and iron man talking, Cheering a rout of rebels with your drum, Turning the word to sword, and life to death. That man that sits within a monarchs heart, And ripens in the sunshine of his favour, Would he abuse the countenance of the King: Alack what mischiefs might he set abroach, In shadow of such greatness? with you Lord bishop It is even so, who hath not herd it spoken, How deep you were within the books of God, To us the speaker in his parliament, To us imagine voice of God himself, The very opener and intelligent er, Between the grace, the sanctities of heaven, And our dull workings? Oh who shall believe, But you misuse the reverence of your place, Imply the countenance and grace of heaven, As a false favourite does his princes name: In deeds dishonourable you have taken up, Under the counterfeited zeal of God, The subjects of his substitute my father, And both against the peace of heaven and him, Have here vpswarmd them. It was more of his courtesy then your deserving. Good morrow cousin Warwick, good morrow. We meet Like men that had forgotten to speak. Well, peace be with him that hath made us heavy. Though no man be assure what grace to find, You stand in coldest expectation, I am the forier, would it otherwise. I Like this fair proceeding of the Kings, He hath intent his wonted followers Shall all be very well provided for, But all are banished till their conversations Appear more wise and modest to the world. The King hath called his parliament my lord. I will lay ods, that ere this year expire, We bear our civil swords and native fire, As far as France, I herd a bird so sing, Whose music, to my thinking, pleased the King: Come, will you hence? The heat is passed, follow no further now, Call in the powers good cousin Westmoreland. Now Falstaff, where have you been all this while? When every thing is ended, then you come: These tardy tricks of yours will on my life One time or other break some gallows back.
Plot summary
Plot — 2 Henry the Fourth
After the battle of Shrewsbury, there are contradictory rumours abroad as to the outcome: some say that the King and his son have vanquished Lord Hotspur of Lancaster, whereas in fact they won. Now Lord John of Lancaster is travelling north with a power, including Sir John Falstaff, to crush the regrouping remnants of the Percy rebellion. Mistress Quickly tries to have Falstaff arrested for debt, while threatens to prevent him setting out for London, but he talks his way out of it. Back from a military expedition in Wales, Prince Henry and Poins disguise themselves as drawers and eavesdrop on Falstaff’s conversation: he says uncomplimentary things about them, but Falstaff excuses himself inventively when confronted. Northumberland’s family persuade him to flee to Scotland rather than join the other northern rebels. Falstaff musters troops in Gloucestershire, but the best men bribe their way out, leaving him with the least suitable soldiers. Prince John sees the rebels and agrees to redress their grievances if they disband their army; but when they do so, he has them arrested for treason. Falstaff arrives in the north late, but meets the rebel Sir John Colville, who promptly surrenders without a fight, having heard Falstaff’s reputation. Prince John returns to court, but Falstaff goes via Gloucestershire to visit Justice Shallow. The sickly King prepares for death, and worries about the kingdom’s future in the hands of his eldest son. News arrives of the defeat of all the rebels. Prince Henry finds his father asleep with the crown beside him, and, thinking him dead, tries it on. The King wakes to find his crown gone. Brought back, the Prince excuses himself, and the King gives deathbed advice: he should pursue an aggressive foreign policy to distract from internal dissent. He dies in the Jerusalem chamber, fulfilling a prophecy that he will die in Jerusalem. Henry V is not the King everyone expected the Prince to be. He confirms in office the Lord Chief Justice, who had imprisoned him for his misdemeanours. Pistol brings to Gloucestershire news of his accession, and Falstaff anticipates power for himself and his associates. He is disappointed: when he accosts the King at his coronation, Henry refuses to acknowledge him, and banishes him — though with a pension to ensure that poverty does not lead him back into crime. Falstaff is convinced that this is only a public show of rejection, which will later be countermanded in private; but in fact he and his crew…
