Plantagenet�察�Son to the elder brother of this man�察�And king o'er him and
all that he enjoys�察�For this down´trodden equity we tread In warlike march
these greens before your town�察�Being no further enemy to you Than the
constraint of hospitable zeal In the relief of this oppressed child
Religiously provokes。 Be pleased then To pay that duty which you truly
owe To him that owes it�察�namely�察�this young prince�察�And then our arms�察�
like to a muzzled bear�察 �Save in aspect�察 �hath all offence seal'd up�察 �Our
cannons' malice vainly shall be spent Against th' invulnerable clouds of
heaven�察�And with a blessed and unvex'd retire�察�With unhack'd swords and
helmets all unbruis'd�察 �We will bear home that lusty blood again Which

here we came to spout against your town�察�And leave your children�察�wives�察�
and you�察�in peace。 But if you fondly pass our proffer'd offer�察�'Tis not the
roundure of your old´fac'd walls Can hide you from our messengers of war�察�
Though all these English and their discipline Were harbour'd in their rude
circumference。 Then tell us�察 �shall your city call us lord In that behalf
which we have challeng'd it�察�Or shall we give the signal to our rage�察�And
stalk in blood to our possession�拭�CITIZEN。 In brief�此�we are the King of
England's subjects�察 �For him�察 �and in his right�察 �we hold this town。 KING
JOHN。 Acknowledge then the King�察�and let me in。 CITIZEN。 That can we
not�察�but he that proves the King�察�To him will we prove loyal。 Till that time
Have we ramm'd up our gates against the world。 KING JOHN。 Doth not
the crown of England prove the King�拭 �And if not that�察 �I bring you
witnesses�此�Twice fifteen thousand hearts of England's breed´ BASTARD。
Bastards and else。 KING JOHN。 To verify our title with their lives。 KING
PHILIP。 As many and as well´born bloods as those´ BASTARD。 Some
bastards too。 KING PHILIP。 Stand in his face to contradict his claim。
CITIZEN。 Till you compound whose right is worthiest�察 �We for the
worthiest hold the right from both。 KING JOHN。 Then God forgive the sin
of all those souls That to their everlasting residence�察 �Before the dew of
evening fall shall fleet In dreadful trial of our kingdom's king� �KING
PHILIP。 Amen�察 �Amen� �Mount�察 �chevaliers�察 �to arms� �BASTARD。 Saint
George�察�that swing'd the dragon�察�and e'er since Sits on's horse back at mine
hostess' door�察�Teach us some fence� 。�To AUSTRIA�А�Sirrah�察�were I at home�察�
At your den�察 �sirrah�察 �with your lioness�察 �I would set an ox´head to your
lion's hide�察 �And make a monster of you。 AUSTRIA。 Peace� �no more。
BASTARD。 O�察 �tremble�察 �for you hear the lion roar� �KING JOHN。 Up
higher to the plain�察 �where we'll set forth In best appointment all our
regiments。 BASTARD。 Speed then to take advantage of the field。 KING
PHILIP。 It shall be so�察 �and at the other hill Command the rest to stand。
God and our right� �Exeunt
Here�察 �after excursions�察 �enter the HERALD OF FRANCE�察 �with
trumpets�察�to the gates
FRENCH HERALD。 You men of Angiers�察�open wide your gates And
let young Arthur�察�Duke of Britaine�察�in�察�Who by the hand of France this day

KING JOHN
hath made Much work for tears in many an English mother�察�Whose sons
lie scattered on the bleeding ground�察�Many a widow's husband grovelling
lies�察�Coldly embracing the discoloured earth�察�And victory with little loss
doth play Upon the dancing banners of the French�察 �Who are at hand�察�
triumphantly displayed�察 �To enter conquerors�察 �and to proclaim Arthur of
Britaine England's King and yours。
Enter ENGLISH HERALD�察�with trumpet
ENGLISH HERALD。 Rejoice�察�you men of Angiers�察�ring your bells�此�
King John�察�your king and England's�察�doth approach�察�Commander of this
hot malicious day。 Their armours that march'd hence so silver´bright
Hither return all gilt with Frenchmen's blood。 There stuck no plume in any
English crest That is removed by a staff of France�察�Our colours do return
in those same hands That did display them when we first march'd forth�察�
And like a jolly troop of huntsmen come Our lusty English�察 �all with
purpled hands�察�Dy'd in the dying slaughter of their foes。 Open your gates
and give the victors way。 CITIZEN。 Heralds�察�from off our tow'rs we might
behold From first to last the onset and retire Of both your armies�察�whose
equality By our best eyes cannot be censured。 Blood hath bought blood�察�
and blows have answer'd blows�察 �Strength match'd with strength�察 �and
power confronted power�察�Both are alike�察�and both alike we like。 One must
prove greatest。 While they weigh so even�察�We hold our town for neither�察�
yet for both。
Enter the two KINGS�察�with their powers�察�at several doors
KING JOHN。 France�察 �hast thou yet more blood to cast away�拭 �Say�察�
shall the current of our right run on�拭 �Whose passage�察 �vex'd with thy
impediment�察 �Shall leave his native channel and o'erswell With course
disturb'd even thy confining shores�察�Unless thou let his silver water keep A
peaceful progress to the ocean。 KING PHILIP。 England�察 �thou hast not
sav'd one drop of blood In this hot trial more than we of France�察�Rather�察�
lost more。 And by this hand I swear�察 �That sways the earth this climate
overlooks�察 �Before we will lay down our just´borne arms�察 �We'll put thee
down�察 �'gainst whom these arms we bear�察 �Or add a royal number to the
dead�察�Gracing the scroll that tells of this war's loss With slaughter coupled
to the name of kings。 BASTARD。 Ha�察�majesty� �how high thy glory tow'rs

KING JOHN
When the rich blood of kings is set on fire� �O�察�now doth Death line his
dead chaps with steel�察�The swords of soldiers are his teeth�察�his fangs�察�And
now he feasts�察�mousing the flesh of men�察�In undetermin'd differences of
kings。 Why stand these royal fronts amazed thus�拭�Cry 'havoc��' kings�察�back
to the stained field�察 �You equal potents�察 �fiery kindled spirits� �Then let
confusion of one part confirm The other's peace。 Till then�察�blows�察�blood�察�
and death� �KING JOHN。 Whose party do the townsmen yet admit�拭�KING
PHILIP。 Speak�察 �citizens�察 �for England�察 �who's your king�拭 �CITIZEN。 The
King of England�察�when we know the King。 KING PHILIP。 Know him in
us that here hold up his right。 KING JOHN。 In us that are our own great
deputy And bear possession of our person here�察 �Lord of our presence�察�
Angiers�察 �and of you。 CITIZEN。 A greater pow'r than we denies all this�察�
And till it be undoubted�察 �we do lock Our former scruple in our strong´
barr'd gates�察 �King'd of our fears�察 �until our fears�察 �resolv'd�察 �Be by some
certain king purg'd and depos'd。 BASTARD。 By heaven�察�these scroyles of
Angiers flout you�察�kings�察�And stand securely on their battlements As in a
theatre�察�whence they gape and point At your industrious scenes and acts of
death。 Your royal presences be rul'd by me�此 �Do like the mutines of
Jerusalem�察 �Be friends awhile�察 �and both conjointly bend Your sharpest
deeds of malice on this town。 By east and west let France and England
mount Their battering cannon�察 �charged to the mouths�察 �Till their soul´
fearing clamours have brawl'd down The flinty ribs of this contemptuous
city。 I'd play incessantly upon these jades�察 �Even till unfenced desolation
Leave them as naked as the vulgar air。 That done�察 �dissever your united
strengths And part your mingled colours once again�察�Turn face to face and
bloody point to point�察�Then in a moment Fortune shall cull forth Out of
one side her happy minion�察�To whom in favour she shall give the day�察�And
kiss him with a glorious victory。 How like you this wild counsel�察�mighty
states�拭�Smacks it not something of the policy�拭�KING JOHN。 Now�察�by the
sky that hangs above our heads�察 �I like it well。 France�察�shall we knit our
pow'rs And lay this Angiers even with the ground�察�Then after fight who
shall be king of it�拭�BASTARD。 An if thou hast the mettle of a king�察�Being
wrong'd as we are by this peevish town�察 �Turn thou the mouth of thy
artillery�察�As we will ours�察 �against these saucy walls�察�And when that we

have dash'd them to the ground�察�Why then defy each other�察�and pell´mell
Make work upon ourselves�察�for heaven or hell。 KING PHILIP。 Let it be so。
Say�察 �where will you assault�拭 �KING JOHN。 We from the west will send
destruction Into this city's bosom。 AUSTRIA。 I from the north。 KING
PHILIP。 Our thunder from the south Shall rain their drift of bullets on this
town。 BASTARD。 ��Aside�А �O prudent discipline� �From north to south�察�
Austria and France shoot in each other's m
