France dares not. 'Twas not demanded. But not command. Grimsby, thou canst do well in Garrison. Wear shamoys for a grace, project for blood, Make eight days to one week, turn executioner, And hangman Like send fifty in one morning, To feed the Crows, and live upon dead pay. Stop thy throat or— I'll cut it. It's a trade, By which few prosper, and yet thou art made. A hangman. Thy foul-mouth, wash it Scot. My Sovereigns pleasure sits above my private passion. Friends Grimsby. What men are these? Hang up this, provide for these, trufle him up. What slave, what Turk that murders his own brothers Durst play the tyrant thus? hang all the Nation Whom we have taken to mercy, I'll not spare Father's, nor mother's, nor their bawling barns, fire their houses, hang up this tike first. If he do, may Percies name be crossed Out of the roll of men. Sneak not away sirrah, you're not gone yet. No snare to entrap this Wolf? His being a traitor warrants it, dispatch A second message with acknowledgment Of former wrongs to our Ambassadors, With promise of a friendly interview Early to morrow, impartially to hear Their wrongs, and mildly minister redress. Shall we agree to have such message sent To allure this bloody Tiger into the net And waking then or S eping kill him. All stratagems are lawful against a foe. Do good Beaumont, Scotchman darest thou con dust him as his guide? Is Clifford mad? See he comes uncalled. Was that the traitor? Base Rebel, why durst he not stand here? Stand forth before the King, I shall. Exit. Bravely. I would, no matter how a traitor falls. I saw him not to day, How greedily you Scot drinks his own blood! How in words? Sirrah Soldier, sawest thou the Earl of Huntington? Muffled up, and alone, I'll to the King. Exit. Mentith, a Knight of Scotland. What men are these, I ask, will no man speak?
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…
