Gaptain Flewellen, you must come strait To the Mine, to the Duke of Gloucester. I but our King is not Like him in that, For he never killed any of his friends. Sir John Falstaff. But why do you wear your Leek to day? Saint Davies day is passed? Enough Captain, you have astonished him. How now Captain Flewellen, come you from ̄ the bridge? Why Thy is a gul, a fool, a rogue that goes to the wars Only to grace himself at his return to London: And such feliowes as he, Are perfect in great Commanders names. They will learn by rote where services were done, At such and such a scence, at such a breach, At such a convoy: who came off bravely, who was shot, Who disgraced, what terms the enemy stood on. And this they con perfectly in phrase of war, Which they trick up with new tuned oaths, & what a beard Of the Generals cut, and a horid shout of the camp Will do among the foaming bottles and ale washed wits Is wonderful to be thought on: but you must learn To know such slanders of this age, Or else you may marvellously be mistook. Is the Duke of Exeter safe? Why is this the Ancient you told me of? I remember him now, he is a bawd, a cutpurse. Captain Flewellen. Why the enemy is loud: you herd him all night. I'll speak lower. 'Tis certain, there is not a Boy left alive, And the cowerdly rascals that ran from the battle, Themselves have done this slaughter: Beside, they have carried away and burned, All that was in the kings Tent: Whereupon the king caused every prisoners Throat to be cut. Oh he is a worthy king. Alexander the great. I think Alexander the great Was born at Macedon. His father was called Philip of Macedon, As I take it. Here a comes, swelling Like a Turkecocke.
Plot summary
Plot — Henry the Fifth
Faced with the prospect of parliamentary legislation to sequester church lands, the Bishop of Canterbury encourages King Henry V to consider his claim to the French throne: he demonstrates that the Salic law debarring succession through the female line does not apply to France, and promises the church's financial support for a war. The Dauphin hears of Henry's ambitions and sends him a mocking gift of tennis balls; annoyed by the suggestion tl1at he should go away and play, Henry gathers his troops. The French bribe three noblemen to assassinate him before he leaves England, but he discovers the plot and has the traitors put to death. The French prepare for battle, but the Dauphin scornfully underestimates Henry. Exeter, sent as ambassador to the French King, demands surrender and delivers to the Dauphin Henry's personal contempt. The French offer a few dukedoms and a marriage alliance if Henry will withdraw. He considers this inadequate, and attacks Harfleur. The Dauphin and his troops fail to arrive in time to relieve the town, so its Governor surrenders to Henry. Exeter is left in command while Henry takes his disease-ridden troops back to winter in Calais, but the French force a battle en route at Agincourt. The night before, the French anticipate victory over the bedraggled English. Henry tours his army and listens to their worries about the battle. He quarrels with one of his soldiers, Williams, and they agree to settle their differences after their battle: they will know one another by the gloves they exchange. The French offer Henry the chance to surrender, but he refuses and battle ensues. The English do well, but when the French regroup for a new assault, Henry orders his troops to kill their prisoners. The French attack the baggage-train and kill the boys who are guarding it. The English are victorious, with remarkably few casualties. Henry persuades Fluellen to wear Williams's glove, claiming it is a battle trophy which will be challenged only by a traitor; the n-vo soldiers are about to fight when the King intervenes and reveals the truth. Henry later agrees a peace with France, is adopted as heir to the French throne, and marries Princess Catherine. In a subsidiary action, Henry's former lowlife associates do less well. Rejected by the King, Falstaff dies, broken-hearted. Pistol, Nim, and Bardolph join the expedition to France, accompanied by Falstaff's boy. Bardolph and Nim are hanged for theft, and the boy killed in the French attack on…
