And private policy confirms it, I could urge rea son why, show cause, wherefore, and speak to purpose whereby, but my betters are in place, I know them to be pregnant, and a ready wit's worth all. So say I too, and it's not the least partly of policy, neither. The Criers are all hoarse with balling of it. Troth even as you think, policy must prevent it. Peace, it's a wild Bull we come to set upon, and therefore let those Dogs that can fasten bite soundly. Good policy. Never since I wore the nightcap of Justice, and that this her dudgeon dagger was a my side. Didst hear what a doleful cry they made, When their main yard was split? I saw it Bolt with salt eyes. But Bolt what dost thou think this to be? I hope it's gold it's so heavy, and 'twas going out of the Land. Then 'tis Like the sea, for all's fish that comes to net there. It's not policy, we'll rather set it forward. And my policy to the good Queen and Ladies. Thus religious cries Exit Haslerig. Were stopped with steel, and thus religion die. The Seas have crossed them that sought to cross the Seas, and therefore for my partly I'll never meddle with these waterworks. Nay, he's no sheepbiter. I thank your grace. Policy and all. Set down Bolt, I can bear with thee no longer. Yes sure it is a windfall, for as we walked upon the shore, we saw the ship split, this fell out, the winds were the cause, therefore it must needs be a windfall. More rich then the land, and more fat. And people in't. Fear nothing. Bolt strikes him down. Is he down? No, wake not a sleeping Mastive, the Kings in the field, Lets post to him, Bolt, thou shalt be a Knight as deep as my self, for this manly deed, as you go through the Country, cry aloud, the traitor's dead. Hence. I'll enter into a Recognizance to hang before thou shalt hang. Bravely Like Cocks. Belike then the watery common wealth are ill governed. So. On. Dangerous meat to take too much of. Shrimps. No Justices among them? Ah, would. Why great Oysters Bawd? Very good. Peace Bolt. Do. Sirrah what art thou that wishest all the hail to light upon us two? A Rat? What Countryman art thou sirrah? Sirrah, sirrah, you are a Scot, and I a true English Justice. Peace Bolt in the Kings name, I charge thee, if you will eat bred earn bred, take up this luggage, sirrah, fol low me home to my house, thou shalt have good bred, good drink, and good fire, up I command thee. Have and eye to him Bolt, lest he give us the slip, And were you in this terrible storm at Sea say you? Why Knave? why? Thou Varlet is not wise good? And is not acre good? Why should Wiseacre being put together be nought then? Yes. Well, that's true. How now? Hold I charge thee. Indeed they live hardly. My man, if it please your Majesty, and honest true Knave.
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…
