upon their wives left poor behind them�察 �some upon the debts they owe�察�
some upon their children rawly left。 I am afeard there are few die well that
die in a battle�察�for how can they charitably dispose of anything when blood
is their argument�拭 �Now�察�if these men do not die well�察 �it will be a black
matter for the King that led them to it�察 �who to disobey were against all

proportion of subjection。 KING HENRY。 So�察�if a son that is by his father
sent about merchandise do sinfully miscarry upon the sea�察�the imputation
of his wickedness�察�by your rule�察 �should be imposed upon his father that
sent him�察�or if a servant�察�under his master's command transporting a sum
of money�察�be assailed by robbers and die in many irreconcil'd iniquities�察�
you may call the business of the master the author of the servant's
damnation。 But this is not so�此 �the King is not bound to answer the
particular endings of his
soldiers�察�the father of his son�察�nor the master of his servant�察�for they
purpose not their death when they purpose their services。 Besides�察�there is
no king�察 �be his cause never so spotless�察 �if it come to the arbitrement of
swords�察�can try it out with all unspotted soldiers�此�some peradventure have
on them the guilt of premeditated and contrived murder�察 �some�察 �of
beguiling virgins with the broken seals of perjury�察�some�察�making the wars
their bulwark�察 �that have before gored the gentle bosom of peace with
pillage and robbery。 Now�察�if these men have defeated the law and outrun
native punishment�察�though they can outstrip men they have no wings to fly
from God�此�war is His beadle�察�war is His vengeance�察�so that here men are
punish'd for before´breach of the King's laws in now the King's quarrel。
Where they feared the death they have borne life away�察�and where they
would be safe they perish。 Then if they die unprovided�察 �no more is the
King guilty of their damnation than he was before guilty of those impieties
for the which they are now visited。 Every subject's duty is the King's�察�but
every subject's soul is his own。 Therefore should every soldier in the wars
do as every sick man in his bed´ wash every mote out of his conscience�察�
and dying so�察 �death is to him advantage�察 �or not dying�察 �the time was
blessedly lost wherein such preparation was gained�察 �and in him that
escapes it were not sin to think that�察�making God so free an offer�察�He let
him outlive that day to see His greatness�察 �and to teach others how they
should prepare。 WILLIAMS。 'Tis certain�察 �every man that dies ill�察 �the ill
upon his own head´ the King is not to answer for it。 BATES。 I do not
desire he should answer for me�察�and yet I determine to fight lustily for him。
KING HENRY。 I myself heard the King say he would not be ransom'd。
WILLIAMS。 Ay�察 �he said so�察 �to make us fight cheerfully�察 �but when our
52

throats are cut he may be ransom'd�察�and we ne'er the wiser。 KING HENRY。
If I live to see it�察�I will never trust his word after。 WILLIAMS。 You pay
him then� �That's a perilous shot out of an elder´gun�察 �that a poor and a
private displeasure can do against a monarch� �You may as well go about to
turn the sun to ice with fanning in his face with a peacock's feather。 You'll
never trust his word after� �Come�察 �'tis a foolish saying。 KING HENRY。
Your reproof is something too round�察�I should be angry with you�察�if the
time were convenient。 WILLIAMS。 Let it be a quarrel between us if you
live。 KING HENRY。 I embrace it。 WILLIAMS。 How shall I know thee
again�拭�KING HENRY。 Give me any gage of thine�察�and I will wear it in my
bonnet�察�then if ever thou dar'st acknowledge it�察�I will make it my quarrel。
WILLIAMS。 Here's my glove�察�give me another of thine。 KING HENRY。
There。 WILLIAMS。 This will I also wear in my cap�察�if ever thou come to
me and say�察�after to´morrow�察�'This is my glove��' by this hand I will take
thee a box on the ear。 KING HENRY。 If ever I live to see it�察 �I will
challenge it。 WILLIAMS。 Thou dar'st as well be hang'd。 KING HENRY。
Well�察�I will do it�察�though I take thee in the King's company。 WILLIAMS。
Keep thy word。 Fare thee well。 BATES。 Be friends�察�you English fools�察�be
friends�察�we have French quarrels enow�察�if you could tell how to reckon。
KING HENRY。 Indeed�察�the French may lay twenty French crowns to one
they will beat us�察�for they bear them on their shoulders�察�but it is no English
treason to cut French crowns�察�and to´morrow the King himself will be a
clipper。 Exeunt soldiers Upon the King� �Let us our lives�察�our souls�察�Our
debts�察�our careful wives�察�Our children�察�and our sins�察�lay on the King� �We
must bear all。 O hard condition�察�Twin´born with greatness�察�subject to the
breath Of every fool�察�whose sense no more can feel But his own wringing� �
What infinite heart's ease Must kings neglect that private men enjoy� �And
what have kings that privates have not too�察�Save ceremony´ save general
ceremony�拭�And what art thou�察�thou idol Ceremony�拭�What kind of god art
thou�察�that suffer'st more Of mortal griefs than do thy worshippers�拭�What
are thy rents�拭�What are thy comings´in�拭 �O Ceremony�察 �show me but thy
worth� �What is thy soul of adoration�拭�Art thou aught else but place�察�degree�察�
and form�察 �Creating awe and fear in other men�拭 �Wherein thou art less
happy being fear'd Than they in fearing。 What drink'st thou oft�察�instead of

homage sweet�察�But poison'd flattery�拭�O�察�be sick�察�great greatness�察�And bid
thy ceremony give thee cure� �Thinks thou the fiery fever will go out With
titles blown from adulation�拭�Will it give place to flexure and low bending�拭�
Canst thou�察 �when thou command'st the beggar's knee�察 �Command the
health of it�拭 �No�察 �thou proud dream�察 �That play'st so subtly with a king's
repose。 I am a king that find thee�察�and I know 'Tis not the balm�察�the sceptre�察�
and the ball�察�The sword�察 �the mace�察 �the crown imperial�察 �The intertissued
robe of gold and pearl�察�The farced tide running fore the king�察�The throne
he sits on�察 �nor the tide of pomp That beats upon the high shore of this
world´ No�察�not all these�察�thrice gorgeous ceremony�察�Not all these�察�laid in
bed majestical�察�Can sleep so soundly as the wretched slave Who�察�with a
body fill'd and vacant mind�察 �Gets him to rest�察 �cramm'd with distressful
bread�察�Never sees horrid night�察�the child of hell�察�But�察�like a lackey�察�from
the rise to set Sweats in the eye of Pheebus�察 �and all night Sleeps in
Elysium�察�next day�察�after dawn�察�Doth rise and help Hyperion to his horse�察�
And follows so the ever´running year With profitable labour�察�to his grave。
And but for ceremony�察 �such a wretch�察 �Winding up days with toil and
nights with sleep�察�Had the fore´hand and vantage of a king。 The slave�察�a
member of the country's peace�察 �Enjoys it�察 �but in gross brain little wots
What watch the king keeps to maintain the peace Whose hours the peasant
best advantages。

together at my tent�此�I'll be before thee。 ERPINGHAM。 I shall do't�察�my lord。
Exit KING。 O God of battles�察�steel my soldiers' hearts�察�Possess them not
with fear� �Take from them now The sense of reck'ning�察 �if th' opposed
numbers Pluck their hearts from them� �Not to´day�察�O Lord�察�O�察�not to´day�察�
think not upon the fault My father made in compassing the crown� �I
Richard's body have interred new�察�And on it have bestowed more contrite
tears Than from it issued forced drops of blood�察�Five hundred poor I have
in yearly pay�察 �Who twice a day their wither'd hands hold up Toward
heaven�察�to pardon blood�察�and I have built Two chantries�察�where the sad and
solemn priests Sing still for Richard's soul。 More will I do�察�Though all that
