PROLOGUE
Enter CHORUS
CHORUS。 O for a Muse of fire�察 �that would ascend The brightest
heaven of invention�察�A kingdom for a stage�察�princes to act�察�And monarchs
to behold the swelling scene� �Then should the warlike Harry�察�like himself�察�
Assume the port of Mars�察�and at his heels�察�Leash'd in like hounds�察�should
famine�察�sword�察�and fire�察�Crouch for employment。 But pardon�察�gentles all�察�
The flat unraised spirits that hath dar'd On this unworthy scaffold to bring
forth So great an object。 Can this cockpit hold The vasty fields of France�拭�
Or may we cram Within this wooden O the very casques That did affright
the air at Agincourt�拭�O�察�pardon� �since a crooked figure may Attest in little
place a million�察 �And let us�察 �ciphers to this great accompt�察 �On your
imaginary forces work。 Suppose within the girdle of these walls Are now
confin'd two mighty monarchies�察�Whose high upreared and abutting fronts
The perilous narrow ocean parts asunder。 Piece out our imperfections with
your thoughts�此�Into a thousand parts divide one man�察�And make imaginary
puissance�察�Think�察�when we talk of horses�察�that you see them Printing their
proud hoofs i' th' receiving earth�察 �For 'tis your thoughts that now must
deck our kings�察�Carry them here and there�察�jumping o'er times�察�Turning th'
accomplishment of many years Into an hour´glass�察�for the which supply�察�
Admit me Chorus to this history�察 �Who prologue´like�察 �your humble
patience pray Gently to hear�察�kindly to judge�察�our play。 Exit

KING HENRY THE FIFTH
SCENE I。 London。
An ante´chamber in the KING'S palace
Enter the ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY and the BISHOP OF
ELY
CANTERBURY。 My lord�察�I'll tell you�此�that self bill is urg'd Which in
th' eleventh year of the last king's reign Was like�察�and had indeed against
us pass'd But that the scambling and unquiet time Did push it out of
farther question。 ELY。 But how�察 �my lord�察 �shall we resist it now�拭�
CANTERBURY。 It must be thought on。 If it pass against us�察�We lose the
better half of our possession�察�For all the temporal lands which men devout
By testament have given to the church Would they strip from us�察 �being
valu'd thus´ As much as would maintain�察�to the King's honour�察�Full fifteen
earls and fifteen hundred knights�察 �Six thousand and two hundred good
esquires�察�And�察 �to relief of lazars and weak age�察 �Of indigent faint souls�察�
past corporal toil�察�A hundred alms´houses right well supplied�察�And to the
coffers of the King�察�beside�察�A thousand pounds by th' year�此�thus runs the
bill。 ELY。 This would drink deep。 CANTERBURY。 'T would drink the cup
and all。 ELY。 But what prevention�拭�CANTERBURY。 The King is full of
grace and fair regard。 ELY。 And a true lover of the holy Church。
CANTERBURY。 The courses of his youth promis'd it not。 The breath no
sooner left his father's body But that his wildness�察 �mortified in him�察�
Seem'd to die too�察�yea�察�at that very moment�察�Consideration like an angel
came And whipp'd th' offending Adam out of him�察�Leaving his body as a
paradise T'envelop and contain celestial spirits。 Never was such a sudden
scholar made�察 �Never came reformation in a flood�察 �With such a heady
currance�察�scouring faults�察�Nor never Hydra´headed wilfulnes So soon did
lose his seat�察�and all at once�察�As in this king。 ELY。 We are blessed in the
change。 CANTERBURY。 Hear him but reason in divinity�察 �And�察 �all´
admiring�察�with an inward wish You would desire the King were made a
prelate�察�Hear him debate of commonwealth affairs�察�You would say it hath
been all in all his study�察�List his discourse of war�察�and you shall hear A
fearful battle rend'red you in music。 Turn him to any cause of policy�察�The
Gordian knot of it he will unloose�察 �Familiar as his garter�察�that�察�when he

speaks�察�The air�察�a charter'd libertine�察�is still�察�And the mute wonder lurketh
in men's ears To steal his sweet and honey'd sentences�察�So that the art and
practic part of life Must be the mistress to this theoric�察�Which is a wonder
how his Grace should glean it�察�Since his addiction was to courses vain�察�His
companies unletter'd�察 �rude�察 �and shallow�察 �His hours fill'd up with riots�察�
banquets�察�sports�察�And never noted in him any study�察�Any retirement�察�any
sequestration From open haunts and popularity。 ELY。 The strawberry
grows underneath the nettle�察�And wholesome berries thrive and ripen best
Neighbour'd by fruit of baser quality�察 �And so the Prince obscur'd his
contemplation Under the veil of wildness�察�which�察�no doubt�察�Grew like the
summer grass�察 �fastest by night�察 �Unseen�察 �yet crescive in his faculty。
CANTERBURY。 It must be so�察�for miracles are ceas'd�察�And therefore we
must needs admit the means How things are perfected。 ELY。 But�察�my good
lord�察�How now for mitigation of this bill Urg'd by the Commons�拭�Doth his
Majesty Incline to it�察 �or no�拭 �CANTERBURY。 He seems indifferent Or
rather swaying more upon our part Than cherishing th' exhibiters against
us�察 �For I have made an offer to his Majesty´ Upon our spiritual
convocation And in regard of causes now in hand�察�Which I have open'd to
his Grace at large�察�As touching France´ to give a greater sum Than ever at
one time the clergy yet Did to his predecessors part withal。 ELY。 How did
this offer seem receiv'd�察�my lord�拭�CANTERBURY。 With good acceptance
of his Majesty�察�Save that there was not time enough to hear�察�As I perceiv'd
his Grace would fain have done�察�The severals and unhidden passages Of
his true tides to some certain dukedoms�察�And generally to the crown and
seat of France�察 �Deriv'd from Edward�察 �his great´grandfather。 ELY。 What
was th' impediment that broke this off�拭 �CANTERBURY。 The French
ambassador upon that instant Crav'd audience�察 �and the hour�察 �I think�察 �is
come To give him hearing�此�is it four o'clock�拭�ELY。 It is。 CANTERBURY。
Then go we in�察�to know his embassy�察�Which I could with a ready guess
declare�察�Before the Frenchman speak a word of it。 ELY。 I'll wait upon you�察�
and I long to hear it。 Exeunt

SCENE II。 London。 The Presence Chamber in the
KING'S palace
Enter the KING�察�GLOUCESTER�察�BEDFORD�察�EXETER�察�WARWICK�察�
WESTMORELAND�察�and attendants
KING HENRY。 Where is my gracious Lord of Canterbury�拭�EXETER。
Not here in presence。 KING HENRY。 Send for him�察 �good uncle。
WESTMORELAND。 Shall we call in th' ambassador�察 �my liege�拭 �KING
HENRY。 Not yet�察�my cousin�察�we would be resolv'd�察�Before we hear him�察�
of some things of weight That task our thoughts�察 �concerning us and
France。
Enter the ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY and the BISHOP OF
ELY
CANTERBURY。 God and his angels guard your sacred throne�察�And
make you long become it� �KING HENRY。 Sure�察 �we thank you。 My
learned lord�察 �we pray you to proceed�察�And justly and religiously unfold
Why the law Salique�察�that they have in France�察�Or should or should not bar
us in our claim�察 �And God forbid�察 �my dear and faithful lord�察 �That you
should fashion�察 �wrest�察 �or bow your reading�察 �Or nicely charge your
understanding soul With opening titles miscreate whose right Suits not in
native colours with the truth�察�For God doth know how many�察�now in health�察�
Shall drop their blood in approbation Of what your reverence shall incite
us to。 Therefore take heed how you impawn our person�察�How you awake
our sleeping sword of war´ We charge you�察�in the name of God�察�take heed�察�
For never two such kingdoms did contend Without much fall of blood�察�
whose guiltless drops Are every one a woe�察�a sore complaint�察�'Gainst him
whose wrongs gives edge unto the swords That makes such waste in brief
mortality。 Under this conjuration speak�察�my lord�察�For we will hear�察�note�察�
and believe in heart�察�That what you speak is in your conscience wash'd As
pure as sin with baptism。 CANTERBURY。 Then hear me�察 �gracious
sovereign�察�and you peers�察�That owe yourselves�察�your lives�察�and services�察�
To this imperial throne。 There is no bar To make against your Highness'
claim to France But this�察�which they produce from Pharamond�此�'In terram
