How, not demanded? thinks the bold Lord Percy, That Grimsby dares not (lawfully employed) demand. Stay execution, and having read this Warrant, know It's the Queen's pleasure, you send in this traitor Under my conduct to the English Camp: Rebellion of this nature must be searched, With sharper torture. It's but short-liv'd else, first see him bound and hud-winckt, Then leave him to my care. No not a man more then my private followers, The Queen enjoins it. Exeunt Uva. and Gri. What greater right then conquest? To Northumberland And Beaumont. Where's Wallas? never eye Saw such a ruthless massacre. Terrible and strange! Who were the authors? Will Walace here advice? Then be ruled by Grymsby. Whispers. This will affright the English. It'll be and act of danger. And such I fear will thine be, honoured friends See those remains of honourable love Cradled in earth, that once performed take Arms To venge their death's, Mentith, I attend The coming of some special friends by oath, Bound to assist us, hark how their friendly drums Chide them for loitering. Honoured Douglas, welcome, Welcome Macbeth, and doughty Wintersdale, Not, unto men more, driven in needful want, Could you have brought supply. Gone in quest of death, Firm as his fate, cause he sees danger shuns him, He's gone to seek it in the English tents. And such a man is Wallace, yet least worth Bears him beyond his strength, bring up your powers For present charge, his thoughts are tragical, And full of blood, active, and violent all. Beatrice it for Actium then, and not for words, Upon our Spear points our best counsel fits, Follow that (noble General) up with no tents If you dare hold me worthy to advice, But with and easy march move gently on. Now their Beef-pots, and their Cans, Are tossed in stead of Pikes, their Arms are thrown About their Wenches middles, there's their close fight, Let us not loose the forelock in our hands, Of us they dream not, yet we are as freeborn As the English King himself, be not their slaves, Free Scotland, or in England dig our graves. Entreat him hither. I am glad our thunder wakes they. Keep steedy footing, the day is lost if you stir, Stir not, but stand the tempest. Yes command, Percy. He's a man worse then dead that— What? Cut throat. A man as good as— A foul blot Lies in your throat. In Percies blood Il'e washed. Dread Liege, If all the youthful blood that I have spent, And wealthy honours that my sword hath won Waving the Christian Standard in the face Of the proud Pagan, in the holy Land, Merit the name of hangman, Grimsby casts Them and himself at royal Edwards feet, And Like and out worn soldier, humbly begs, No pension (but look Percy ) nor yet office But leave to leave the Court, and rich in stars To loose more blood, or win more worth in wars. Friends in show, But in my breast bloody revenge lies ambush't. Royal Edward, Though Wallace and some spleenful dissolutes Wronged with the yoke of bondage cast it off. Let not the whole Land suffer. I'll undertake it. Come Wallace, now your pride draws near the fallen. So do not I, this starting back is but and Eng lish earthquake, which to dust, shakes rotten towers, but builds the found more strong. Did I not give you warning of this whirpoole For going too far? If we must fallen, fallen bravely. It's Like so, stay him here, that pains be mine. Come agreed. Yowl make the English mad. Exit Herald. A Drum, call a Drum. Exit Grimsby. We stay for your direction. No body. Not any thing. Would, I am struck dumb, o men slippery fate! Mischiefs that follow us at our backs we shun, And are struck down with those we dream not on. WHat talkest of Conscience? th'art and appa rant rebel.
Plot summary
Plot — The Valiant Scot
PLOT Scotland is under English rule. An attempt is made to dispossess Old Wallace of his office and lands; but Old Wallace partially circumvents it by transferring ownership of the land to his son. King Edward plans to make war on France, and appoints Bruce his general. Scotland is left in the charge of Queen Elinor and a panel of commissioners. Young Selby, son of one of the commissioners, abducts Peggy Graham, intending to marry her by force. Wallace intervenes and kills Young Selby in a duel. Commissioner Selby arrests Peggy and threatens her with execution for the murder. Wallace gives himself up, and Peggy is released. His own execution is forestalled when the Queen orders him brought to court for interrogation. He escapes en route, marries Peggy, and becomes a rebel. Friar Gertrid prophesies that he will be victorious until betrayed by his own blood. The English capture Peggy, Gertrid, and Old Wallace, and Selby has them killed. King Edward sends Wallace an ultimatum: if he will surrender and beg for mercy, he may be spared. Wallace sends an alternative ultimatum back: if Edward will admit himself to be a tyrant, he may be spared. Upon discovering that one of the ambassadors, the Queen’s nephew, has no diplomatic accreditation, he puts the young man to death. He then cuts out an ambassador’s tongue and blinds another, and accompanies them back to King Edward disguised as a lame soldier. The English plan to entice Wallace into a trap, and send another messenger to invite him to a parley; but the stratagem fails because the man appointed to escort the messenger to the Scottish camp is the lame soldier — Wallace himself. Wallace sails to seek help from France, but his ship is wrecked. On the shore, he meets first Bolt, from whom he forcibly takes possession of a washed-up chest of provisions, then Selby, who is now banished from England and penurious, and regrets the execution of Old Wallace. Wallace decides not to take revenge, but while he is away fetching food, another of the fallen commissioners turns up and kills Selby in an argument. Bolt returns and kills the murderer, taking him for Wallace. He is presented to King Edward and rewarded, but later discredited when Wallace turns out to be alive. The Scots prepare to fight, but Wallace is offended to be placed in the rearguard, and withdraws his services. He watches the battle from a hill, and finally intervenes after the Scottish general is killed. On the battlefield he meets Bruce, the rightful…
