Daughter and heir to Lionel�察�Duke of Clarence。 

     CAMBRIDGE。 True�察�for this Harry and his father both�察�Harry the first�察�

     SCROOP。 I am resolved our enterprise is just。 

     GRAY。 Harry shall die�察�or else resign his crown。 

     CHARTRES。 Perform but that�察�and Charles�察�the king of France�察�Shall 

aid   you�察  �lords�察  �not   only  with   his   men�察  �But   send   you   money  to   maintain 

your wars。 Five hundred thousand crowns he bade me profer�察�If you can 

stop but Harry's voyage for France。 

     SCROOP。   We   never   had   a   fitter   time   than   now�察  �The   realm   in   such 

division as it is。 

     CAMBRIDGE。 Besides�察�you must persuade ye�察�there is due Vengeance 

for Richard's murder�察�which�察�although It be deferred�察�yet will it fall at last�察�

And now as likely as another time。 Sin hath had many years to ripen in�察�

And now the harvest cannot be far off�察�Wherein the weeds of usurpation 

Are to be cropped�察�and cast into the fire。 

     SCROOP。 No more�察�earl Cambridge�察�here I plight my faith�察�To set up 

thee and thy renowned wife。 

     GRAY。 Gray will perform the same�察�as he is knight。 

     CHARTRES。 And to assist ye�察�as I said before�察�Charters doth gage the 

honor of his king。 

     SCROOP。 We lack but now Lord Cobham's fellowship�察�And then our 

plot were absolute indeed。 

     CAMBRIDGE。 Doubt not of him�察 �my lord�察�his life's pursued By the 

incensed Clergy�察�and of late�察�Brought in displeasure with the king�察�assures 

He   may   be   quickly   won   unto   our   faction。   Who   hath   the   articles   were 

drawn at large Of our whole purpose�拭�

     GRAY。 That have I�察�my Lord。 

     CAMBRIDGE。   We   should   not   now   be   far   off   from   his   house�察  �Our 

serious   conference   hath   beguiled   the   way。   See   where   his   castle   stands。 

Give me the writing。 When we are come unto the speech of him�察�Because 

we will not stand to make recount�察�Of that which hath been said�察�here he 

shall read 

     ��Enter Cobham。�А�

     Our minds at large�察�and what we crave of him。 

     SCROOP。 A  ready   way。          Here   comes   the   man   himself�察  �Booted   and 

spurred�察�it seems he hath been riding。

     CAMBRIDGE。 Well met�察�lord Cobham。 

     COBHAM。 My lord of Cambridge�拭�Your honor is most welcome into 

Kent�察�And all the rest of this fair company。 I am new come from London�察�

gentle Lords�察�But will ye not take Cowling for your host�察�And see what 

entertainment it affords�拭�

     CAMBRIDGE。 We were intended to have been your guests�此�But now 

this   lucky   meeting     shall  suffice   To   end   our   business�察  �and   defer   that 

kindness。 

     COBHAM。 Business�察�my lord�拭�what business should you have But to 

be merry�拭      �We have no delicates�察�But this I'll promise you�此             �a piece of 

venison�察�A  cup   of   wine�察  �and   so   forthhunters'   fare�察�And   if   you   please�察�

we'll strike the stag our selves Shall fill our dishes with his well´fed flesh。 

     SCROOP。 That is�察�indeed�察�the thing we all desire。 

     COBHAM。 My lords and you shall have your choice with me。 

     CAMBRIDGE。 Nay�察�but the stag which we desire to strike Lives not 

in Cowling�察�if you will consent�察�And go with us�察�we'll bring you to a forest�察�

Where runs a lusty herd�察�amongst the which There is a stag superior to the 

rest�察�A stately beast that�察�when his fellows run�察�He leads the race�察�and beats 

the sullen earth�察�As though he scorned it�察�with his trampling hooves。 Aloft 

he   bears   his   head�察  �and   with   his   breast�察  �Like   a   huge   bulwark�察  �counter´ 

checks the wind�此�And when he standeth still�察�he stretcheth forth His proud 

ambitious neck�察�as if he meant To wound the firmament with forked horns。 

     COBHAM。 Tis pity such a goodly beast should die。 

     CAMBRIDGE。   Not   so�察  �sir   John�察  �for   he   is   tyrannous�察�And   gores   the 

other deer�察�and will not keep Within the limits are appointed him。 Of late 

he's broke   into   a   several�察�Which   doth belong   to   me�察 �and   there   he   spoils 

Both     corn  and   pasture。    Two     of  his  wild   race�察 �Alike    for  stealth  and 

covetous encroaching�察�Already are removed�察�if he were dead�察�I should not 

only be secure from hurt�察�But with his body make a royal feast。 

     SCROOP。 How say you�察�then�察�will you first hunt with us�拭�

     COBHAM。 Faith�察�Lords�察�I like the pastime�察�where's the place〃 

     CAMBRIDGE。   Peruse   this   writing�察  �it   will   shew   you   all�察  �And   what 

occasion we have for the sport。

    COBHAM。 Call ye this hunting�察�my lords�拭               �Is this the stag You fain 

would chaseHarry our dread king�拭�So we may  make a banquet for the 

devil�察�And   in the stead of wholesome   meat�察�prepare A dish of   poison to 

confound our selves。 

    CAMBRIDGE。 Why so�察�lord Cobham�拭                  �See you not our claim�拭�And 

how imperiously he holds the crown�拭�

     SCROOP。       Besides�察  �you   know    your   self  is  in  disgrace�察 �Held   as  a 

recreant�察�and pursued to death。 This will defend you from your enemies�察�

And stablish your religion through the land。 

    COBHAM。  Notorious   treason�   �yet   I   will   conceal   ��Aside。�А  �My  secret 

thoughts�察�to sound the depth of it。 My lord of Cambridge�察�I do see your 

claim�察�And what good may redound unto the land By prosecuting of this 

enterprise。 But where are the men�拭�where's power and furniture To order 

such an action�拭     �We are weak�察�Harry�察�you know's a mighty potentate。 

    CAMBRIDGE。   Tut�察  �we   are   strong   enough�此        �you   are   beloved�察  �And 

many will be glad to follow you�察�We are the like�察�and some will follow us。 

Besides�察�there is hope from France�此        �here's an ambassador That promiseth 

both men and money too。 The commons likewise ��as we hear�� pretend A 

sudden tumult�察�we will join with them。 

    COBHAM。 Some likelihood�察�I must confess�察�to speed�察�But how shall I 

believe this is plain truth�拭�You are�察�my lords�察�such men as live in Court�察�

And highly have been favoured of the king�察�Especially lord Scroop�察�whom 

oftentimes     He maketh choice of for his bedfellow�察�And you�察�lord Gray�察�

are of his privy counsel�此�Is not this a train to entrap my life�拭�

    CAMBRIDGE。 Then perish may my soul�                  �What�察�think you so�拭�

     SCROOP。 We'll swear to you。 

    GRAY。 Or take the sacrament。 

    COBHAM。         Nay�察  �you   are  noble   men�察   �and   I  imagine�察  �As  you   are 

honorable by birth and blood�察�So you will be in heart�察�in thought�察�in word。 

I crave no other testimony but this�此�That you would all subscribe�察�and set 

your hands Unto this writing which you gave to me。 

    CAMBRIDGE。 With all our hearts。             Who hath any pen and ink�拭�

     SCROOP。 My pocket should have one�此             �yea�察�here it is。 

    CAMBRIDGE。 Give it me�察�lord Scroop。There is my name。

     COBHAM。   Sir�察  �let   me   crave�察  �That   you   would   likewise   write   your 

name   with   theirs�察  �For   confirmation   of   your   master's   word�察  �The   king   of 

France。 

     CHARTRES。 That will I�察�noble Lord。

grow suspicion in the king。 

     COBHAM。 Yet taste a cup of wine before ye go。 

     CAMBRIDGE。 Not now�察�my lord�察�we thank you�此                 �so farewell。
