Both which we doubt not, but your majesty Shall soon enjoy. My gracious Lord, you look beyond him quite, The prince but studies his companions, Like a strange tongue wherein to gain the language: 'Tis needful that the most immodest word, Be looked upon and learned, which once attained, Your highness knows comes to no further use, But to be known and hated: so, Like gross terms, The prince will in the perfectness of time, Cast off his followers, and their memory Shall as a pattern, or a measure live, By which his grace must meet the lives of other, Turning past-evils to advantages. Be patient princes, you do know these fits Are with his highness very ordinary. Stand from him, give him air, heel straight be well. Speak lower, princes, for the King recovers. Call for the music in the other room. Less noise, less noise. Enter Harry Not so much noise my Lords, sweet prince, speak low, the King your father is disposed to sleep. Wilt please your Grace to go along with us? What would your Majesty? This door is open, he is gone this way. When we withdrew, my liege, we left it here. My Lord, I found the prince in the next room, Washing with kindly tears, his gentle cheeks, With such a deep demeanour in great sorrow, That tyranny, which never quaffed but blood, Would by beholding him, have washed his knife, With gentle eie-drops, he is coming hither Enter Harry. 'Tis called Jerusalem, my noble Lord. How now, my lord chief Justice, whither away? Exceeding well, his cares are now all ended. He's walked the way of nature, And to our purposes he lives no more. Indeed I think the young King loves you not. Here come the heavy issue of dead Harry: Oh that the living Harry had the temper Of he, the worst of these three gentlemen! How many Nobles then should hold their places, That must strike sail to spirits of vile sort? We do remember, but our argument Is all too heavy to admit much talk. Here comes the Prince.
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…
