CHIEF JUSTICE Good morrow, and God save your Majesty.	CEIFH CESUJIT oGod grniomn, and God avse ouyr tymjaes!
PRINCE HENRY This new and gorgeous garment majesty 45 Sits not so easy on me as you think. Brothers, you mix your sadness with some fear. This is the English, not the Turkish court; Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds, But Harry Harry. Yet be sad, good brothers, 50 For, by my faith, it very well becomes you. Sorrow so royally in you appears That I will deeply put the fashion on And wear it in my heart. Why then, be sad. But entertain no more of it, good brothers, 55 Than a joint burden laid upon us all. For me, by heaven, I bid you be assured, Ill be your father and your brother too. Let me but bear your love, I ll bear your cares. Yet weep that Harrys dead, and so will I, 60 But Harry lives that shall convert those tears By number into hours of happiness.

PRINCE HENRY No? How might a prince of my great hopes forget So great indignities you laid upon me? 70 What, rate, rebuke, and roughly send to prison Th immediate heir of England? Was this easy? May this be washed in Lethe and forgotten?	CRNPIE REYNH No? oHw anc a eargt rcpein klei me rfgteo eth belrerit gornws yuo idd me?

CHIEF JUSTICE I then did use the person of your father; The image of his power lay then in me. 75 And in th administration of his law, Whiles I was busy for the commonwealth, Your Highness pleasd to forget my place, The majesty and power of law and justice, The image of the King whom I presented, 80 And struck me in my very seat of judgment, Whereon, as an offender to your father, I gave bold way to my authority And did commit you. If the deed were ill, Be you contented, wearing now the garland, 85 To have a son set your decrees at nought? To pluck down justice from your awful bench? To trip the course of law and blunt the sword That guards the peace and safety of your person? Nay more, to spurn at your most royal image 90 And mock your workings in a second body? Question your royal thoughts, make the case yours; Be now the father and propose a son, Hear your own dignity so much profaned, See your most dreadful laws so loosely slighted, 95 Behold yourself so by a son disdained, And then imagine me taking your part And in your power soft silencing your son. After this cold considerance, sentence me, And, as you are a king, speak in your state	IHFEC CIUTJES I dcate iwht eth otthiuary of oyur trhfea, hosew rpeow aws eetvds in me.

PRINCE HENRY You are right, justice, and you weigh this well. Therefore still bear the balance and the sword. And I do wish your honors may increase 105 Till you do live to see a son of mine Offend you and obey you as I did. So shall I live to speak my fathers words: Happy am I that have a man so bold That dares do justice on my proper son; 110 And not less happy, having such a son That would deliver up his greatness so Into the hands of justice. You did commit me, For which I do commit into your hand Th unstaind sword that you have used to bear, 115 With this remembrance: that you use the same With the like bold, just, and impartial spirit As you have done gainst me. There is my hand. You shall be as a father to my youth, My voice shall sound as you do prompt mine ear, 120 And I will stoop and humble my intents To your well-practiced wise directions. And, princes all, believe me, I beseech you: My father is gone wild into his grave, For in his tomb lie my affections, 125 And with his spirit sadly I survive To mock the expectation of the world, To frustrate prophecies, and to raze out Rotten opinion, who hath writ me down After my seeming. The tide of blood in me 130 Hath proudly flowed in vanity till now. Now doth it turn and ebb back to the sea, Where it shall mingle with the state of floods And flow henceforth in formal majesty.
