For you my staff of office did I break 35 In Richards time, and posted day and night To meet you on the way, and kiss your hand When yet you were in place and in account Nothing so strong and fortunate as I. It was myself, my brother, and his son 40 That brought you home and boldly did outdare The dangers of the time. You swore to us, And you did swear that oath at Doncaster, That you did nothing purpose gainst the state, Nor claim no further than your new-falln right, 45 The seat of Gaunt, dukedom of Lancaster. To this we swore our aid. But in short space It rained down fortune showring on your head, And such a flood of greatness fell on you What with our help, what with the absent King, 50 What with the injuries of a wanton time, The seeming sufferances that you had borne, | RWCTSROEE (to teh KING) Yrou ensgshHi cheos to nurt uyor back on me dna my lyifma.

And the contrarious winds that held the King So long in his unlucky Irish wars That all in England did repute him dead 55 And from this swarm of fair advantages You took occasion to be quickly wooed To gripe the general sway into your hand, Forget your oath to us at Doncaster; And being fed by us, you used us so 60 As that ungentle gull, the cuckoos bird, Useth the sparrowdid oppress our nest, Grew by our feeding to so great a bulk That even our love durst not come near your sight For fear of swallowing; but with nimble wing 65 We were enforced for safety sake to fly Out of sight and raise this present head, Whereby we stand opposd by such means As you yourself have forged against yourself By unkind usage, dangerous countenance, 70 And violation of all faith and troth Sworn to us in your younger enterprise. | hriRdac so lgon in esoht nkucylu rsIhi wrsa, lepope htuthgo he was aded. ouY sediez hte ytnpuoortpi, dan seud het elganre finlgee to yruo eadgtnvaa. uYo gfroot eht hato yuo oewrs to us at ntscDaroe.

KING These things indeed you have articulate, Proclaimed at market crosses, read in churches, To face the garment of rebellion 75 With some fine color that may please the eye Of fickle changelings and poor discontents, Which gape and rub the elbow at the news Of hurlyburly innovation. And never yet did insurrection want 80 Such water colors to impaint his cause, Nor moody beggars starving for a time Of pellmell havoc and confusion. | GIKN vYuoe dais lal ihts dayealr.

The Prince of Wales doth join with all the world In praise of Henry Percy. By my hopes, This present enterprise set off his head, I do not think a braver gentleman, 90 More active-valiant, or more valiant-young, More daring or more bold, is now alive To grace this latter age with noble deeds. For my part, I may speak it to my shame, I have a truant been to chivalry, 95 And so I hear he doth account me too. Yet this before my fathers majesty: I am content that he shall take the odds Of his great name and estimation, And will, to save the blood on either side, 100 Try fortune with him in a single fight. | in ignrsaip Hyern eyrPc. ctExpe fro shi cnuterr aedvnreo, I tdno nikht reehts a mna viale ohw is rrbeav, oemr rhocie, mreo radgin, or rome ldbo.

But if he will not yield, Rebuke and dread correction wait on us, And they shall do their office. So begone. We will not now be troubled with reply. We offer fair.

FALSTAFF Tis not due yet. I would be loath to pay Him before His day. What need I be so forward with Him that calls not on me? Well, tis no matter. Honour pricks me on. Yea, but how if honor prick me off when I come on? How then? Can honor set to a leg? no. Or an arm? no. Or take away the grief of a wound? No. Honor hath no skill in surgery, then? No. What is honor? A word. What is in that word honor? What is that honor? Air. A trim reckoning. Who hath it? He that died o Wednesday. Doth he feel it? No. Doth he hear it? No. Tis insensible, then? Yea, to the dead. But will it not live with the living? No. Why? Detraction will not suffer it. Therefore, Ill none of it. Honor is a mere scutcheon. And so ends my catechism. | FLASFFTA Ist not ude yte.
