SCENE 1
KING JOHN's palace
Enter KING JOHN�察 �QUEEN ELINOR�察 �PEMBROKE�察 �ESSEX�察�
SALISBURY�察�and others�察�with CHATILLON
KING JOHN。 Now�察 �say�察 �Chatillon�察 �what would France with us�拭�
CHATILLON。 Thus�察 �after greeting�察 �speaks the King of France In my
behaviour to the majesty�察 �The borrowed majesty�察 �of England here。
ELINOR。 A strange beginning´ 'borrowed majesty'� �KING JOHN。 Silence�察�
good mother�察�hear the embassy。 CHATILLON。 Philip of France�察�in right
and true behalf Of thy deceased brother Geffrey's son�察�Arthur Plantagenet�察�
lays most lawful claim To this fair island and the territories�察�To Ireland�察�
Poictiers�察�Anjou�察 �Touraine�察 �Maine�察 �Desiring thee to lay aside the sword
Which sways usurpingly these several titles�察�And put the same into young
Arthur's hand�察�Thy nephew and right royal sovereign。 KING JOHN。 What
follows if we disallow of this�拭�CHATILLON。 The proud control of fierce
and bloody war�察�To enforce these rights so forcibly withheld。 KING JOHN。
Here have we war for war�察 �and blood for blood�察 �Controlment for
controlment´ so answer France。 CHATILLON。 Then take my king's
defiance from my mouth´ The farthest limit of my embassy。 KING JOHN。
Bear mine to him�察�and so depart in peace�察�Be thou as lightning in the eyes
of France�察 �For ere thou canst report I will be there�察 �The thunder of my
cannon shall be heard。 So hence� �Be thou the trumpet of our wrath And
sullen presage of your own decay。 An honourable conduct let him have´
Pembroke�察 �look to 't。 Farewell�察 �Chatillon。 Exeunt CHATILLON and
PEMBROKE ELINOR。 What now�察�my son� �Have I not ever said How that
ambitious Constance would not cease Till she had kindled France and all
the world Upon the right and party of her son�拭 �This might have been
prevented and made whole With very easy arguments of love�察�Which now
the manage of two kingdoms must With fearful bloody issue arbitrate。
KING JOHN。 Our strong possession and our right for us� �ELINOR。 Your
strong possession much more than your right�察 �Or else it must go wrong
with you and me�察 �So much my conscience whispers in your ear�察�Which
none but heaven and you and I shall hear。

KING JOHN
Enter a SHERIFF
ESSEX。 My liege�察�here is the strangest controversy Come from the
country to be judg'd by you That e'er I heard。 Shall I produce the men�拭�
KING JOHN。 Let them approach。 Exit SHERIFF Our abbeys and our
priories shall pay This expedition's charge。
Enter ROBERT FAULCONBRIDGE and PHILIP�察�his bastard brother
What men are you�拭�BASTARD。 Your faithful subject I�察�a gentleman
Born in Northamptonshire�察 �and eldest son�察 �As I suppose�察 �to Robert
Faulconbridge´ A soldier by the honour´giving hand Of Coeur´de´lion
knighted in the field。 KING JOHN。 What art thou�拭�ROBERT。 The son and
heir to that same Faulconbridge。 KING JOHN。 Is that the elder�察 �and art
thou the heir�拭�You came not of one mother then�察 �it seems。 BASTARD。
Most certain of one mother�察 �mighty king´ That is well known´ and�察�as I
think�察�one father�察�But for the certain knowledge of that truth I put you o'er
to heaven and to my mother。 Of that I doubt�察�as all men's children may。
ELINOR。 Out on thee�察 �rude man� �Thou dost shame thy mother�察 �And
wound her honour with this diffidence。 BASTARD。 I�察�madam�拭�No�察�I have
no reason for it´ That is my brother's plea�察�and none of mine�察�The which if
he can prove�察�'a pops me out At least from fair five hundred pound a year。
Heaven guard my mother's honour and my land� �KING JOHN。 A good
blunt fellow。 Why�察 �being younger born�察 �Doth he lay claim to thine
inheritance�拭�BASTARD。 I know not why�察�except to get the land。 But once
he slander'd me with bastardy�察�But whe'er I be as true begot or no�察�That
still I lay upon my mother's head�察�But that I am as well begot�察�my liege´
Fair fall the bones that took the pains for me� � Compare our faces and be
judge yourself。 If old Sir Robert did beget us both And were our father�察�
and this son like him´ O old Sir Robert�察�father�察�on my knee I give heaven
thanks I was not like to thee� �KING JOHN。 Why�察 �what a madcap hath
heaven lent us here� �ELINOR。 He hath a trick of Coeur´de´lion's face�察�The
accent of his tongue affecteth him。 Do you not read some tokens of my
son In the large composition of this man�拭 �KING JOHN。 Mine eye hath
well examined his parts And finds them perfect Richard。 Sirrah�察 �speak�察�
What doth move you to claim your brother's land�拭�BASTARD。 Because he
hath a half´face�察�like my father。 With half that face would he have all my

KING JOHN
land�此�A half´fac'd groat five hundred pound a year� �ROBERT。 My gracious
liege�察�when that my father liv'd�察�Your brother did employ my father much´
BASTARD。 Well�察�sir�察�by this you cannot get my land�此�Your tale must be
how he employ'd my mother。 ROBERT。 And once dispatch'd him in an
embassy To Germany�察 �there with the Emperor To treat of high affairs
touching that time。 Th' advantage of his absence took the King�察�And in the
meantime sojourn'd at my father's�察�Where how he did prevail I shame to
speak´ But truth is truth�此 �large lengths of seas and shores Between my
father and my mother lay�察�As I have heard my father speak himself�察�When
this same lusty gentleman was got。 Upon his death´bed he by will
bequeath'd His lands to me�察�and took it on his death That this my mother's
son was none of his�察�And if he were�察�he came into the world Full fourteen
weeks before the course of time。 Then�察�good my liege�察�let me have what is
mine�察�My father's land�察�as was my father's will。 KING JOHN。 Sirrah�察�your
brother is legitimate�此�Your father's wife did after wedlock bear him�察�And if
she did play false�察�the fault was hers�察�Which fault lies on the hazards of all
husbands That marry wives。 Tell me�察�how if my brother�察�Who�察�as you say�察�
took pains to get this son�察�Had of your father claim'd this son for his�拭�In
sooth�察�good friend�察�your father might have kept This calf�察�bred from his
cow�察�from all the world�察�In sooth�察�he might�察�then�察�if he were my brother's�察�
My brother might not claim him�察�nor your father�察�Being none of his�察�refuse
him。 This concludes�此 �My mother's son did get your father's heir�察 �Your
father's heir must have your father's land。 ROBERT。 Shall then my father's
will be of no force To dispossess that child which is not his�拭�BASTARD。
Of no more force to dispossess me�察�sir�察�Than was his will to get me�察�as I
think。 ELINOR。 Whether hadst thou rather be a Faulconbridge�察�And like
thy brother�察�to enjoy thy land�察�Or the reputed son of Coeur´de´lion�察�Lord of
thy presence and no land beside�拭 �BASTARD。 Madam�察 �an if my brother
had my shape And I had his�察 �Sir Robert's his�察 �like him�察�And if my legs
were two such riding´rods�察�My arms such eel´skins stuff'd�察�my face so thin
That in mine ear I durst not stick a rose Lest men should say 'Look where
three´farthings goes��' And�察�to his shape�察�were heir to all this land´ Would I
might never stir from off this place�察�I would give it every foot to have this
face� �I would not be Sir Nob in any case。 ELINOR。 I like thee well。 Wilt

KING JOHN
thou forsake thy fortune�察�Bequeath thy land to him and follow me�拭�I am a
soldier and now bound to France。 BASTARD。 Brother�察�take you my land�察�
I'll take my chance。 Your face hath got five hundred pound a year�察�Yet sell
your face for fivepence and 'tis dear。 Madam�察�I'll follow you unto the death。
ELINOR。 Nay�察�I would have you go before me thither。 BASTARD。 Our
country manners give our betters way。 KING JOHN。 What is thy name�拭�
BASTARD。 Philip�察�my liege�察�so is my name begun�此�Philip�察�good old Sir
Robert's wife's eldest son。 KING JOHN。 From henceforth bear his name
whose form thou bearest�此 �Kneel thou down Philip�察 �but rise more great´
Arise Sir Richard and Plantagenet。 BASTARD。 Brother by th' mother's
side�察 �give me your hand�察 �My father gave me honour�察 �yours gave land。
Now blessed be the hour�察�by night or day�察�When I was got�察�Sir Robert was
away� �ELINOR。 The very spirit of Plantagenet� �I am thy grandam�察�
Richard�此 �call me so。 BASTARD。 Madam�察 �by chance�察 �but not by truth�察�
what though�拭�Something about�察�a little from the right�察�In at the window�察�or
else o'er the hatch�察�Who dares not stir by day
