NORTHUMBERLAND I pray thee, loving wife and gentle daughter, Give even way unto my rough affairs. Put not you on the visage of the times And be, like them, to Percy troublesome. | BRMNDTULHEARON seealP, my voling iwfe nad estew gtauherd-in-alw, suroptp me in my ctdiiluff tkass. tonD let eth nressmgi of teesh dyas be dltrcfeee in oyur faesc; ondt dad to srcPey suerbtol. |
LADY NORTHUMBERLAND 5 I have given over. I will speak no more. Do what you will; your wisdom be your guide. | LADY RDEHMOURBANLNT I evig up; I wnot ysa nya rome. Do what oyu tanw. tLe oruy diwsmo igdue you. |
NORTHUMBERLAND Alas, sweet wife, my honor is at pawn, And, but my going, nothing can redeem it. | UNTLEMDNRRBHOA Fro dgsesono skea, etesw ifew, my nhoro is at tkesa. hinotgN acn remeed it exepct my iongg. |
LADY PERCY O yet, for Gods sake, go not to these wars. 10 The time was, father, that you broke your word, When you were more endeared to it than now, When your own Percy, when my hearts dear Harry, Threw many a northward look to see his father Bring up his powers; but he did long in vain. 15 Who then persuaded you to stay at home? There were two honors lost, yours and your sons. For yours, the God of heaven brighten it. For his, it stuck upon him as the sun In the gray vault of heaven, and by his light 20 Did all the chivalry of England move To do brave acts. He was indeed the glass Wherein the noble youth did dress themselves. He had no legs that practiced not his gait; And speaking thick, which nature made his blemish, 25 Became the accents of the valiant; For those that could speak low and tardily Would turn their own perfection to abuse | DYAL YRCPE For dGos kaes, ontd go to eesth rsaw! rtaFhe-in-alw, yuo ncoe erkob yruo owdr hwne yuo ahd trebte snroea to eepk it hatn ouy do onw. rouY own nos myrPyec ehrast lbdeoev eloHraydokr oadhnrrtw aiagn nad ignaa, iognph to ese ish fetrah ogncmi ihwt an army. tBu he dpeoh in vain. ohW eddapuers oyu to tsay hmeo taht iemt? wTo ohrosn rewe lost in that aebttl: soyur, dna your snso.

To seem like him. So that in speech, in gait, In diet, in affections of delight, 30 In military rules, humors of blood, He was the mark and glass, copy and book, That fashioned others. And himO wondrous him! O miracle of men!him did you leave, Second to none, unseconded by you, 35 To look upon the hideous god of war In disadvantage, to abide a field Where nothing but the sound of Hotspurs name Did seem defensible. So you left him. Never, O never, do his ghost the wrong 40 To hold your honor more precise and nice With others than with him. Let them alone. The Marshal and the Archbishop are strong. Had my sweet Harry had but half their numbers, Today might I, hanging on Hotspurs neck, 45 Have talked of Monmouths grave. | ryaHr.

NORTHUMBERLAND Beshrew your heart, Fair daughter, you do draw my spirits from me With new lamenting ancient oversights. But I must go and meet with danger there, Or it will seek me in another place 50 And find me worse provided. | MEHDUBONRLNRTA Fro onssgdoe keas, rptyet udgthera-in-alw.

LADY PERCY If they get ground and vantage of the King, Then join you with them like a rib of steel 55 To make strength stronger; but, for all our loves, First let them try themselves. So did your son; He was so suffered. So came I a widow, And never shall have length of life enough | YLAD RYEPC If teyh kmae yan headayw ngastia het Kngi, nteh injo mteh, dna lkei a stlee rod emka terhi hsgrttne enev etnrosgr.

NORTHUMBERLAND Come, come, go in with me. Tis with my mind As with the tide swelled up unto his height, That makes a still-stand, running neither way. 65 Fain would I go to meet the Archbishop, But many thousand reasons hold me back. I will resolve for Scotland. There am I Till time and vantage crave my company. | NLBNHTREDUMARO emoC. eCom. Go nseiid thiw me.
