 311294By how much better then my word I am,
  312295By 
so much 
shall I fal
sifie mens hopes,
  313296And like bright mettal on a 
sullein ground,
  314297My reformation glittring ore my fault,

   Exit.  
 320302Enter the King, Northumberland, Worcester, Hotspur,  321303sir Walter blunt, with others.  322304King. My blood hath bin too colde and temperate,
  323305Vnapt to 
stir at the
se indignities,
  324306And you haue found me, for accordingly
  325307You tread vpon my patience, but be 
sure
  326308I will from henceforth rather be my 
selfe
  327309Mightie, and to be fearde, then my condition
  328310Which hath bin

  330312Which the proud 
soule neare payes but to the proud.
  331313Wor. Our hou

soueraigne liege) little de
serues
  332314The 
scourge of greatnes to be v

   336317King. Worce
ster get thee gone, for I do 
see
  337318Danger, and di

  338319O 
sir, your pre
sence is too bold and peremptorie,
  339320And Maie
stie might neuer yet endure
  340321The moodie frontier of a 
seruant browe,
  341322You haue good leaue to leaue vs, when we need
  342323Your v
se and coun
sel we 
shall 
send for you. 
  Exit Wor.
 343324You were about to 
speake.
  344325North. Yea my good Lord.
  345326Tho
se pri
soners in your highnes name demanded,
  346327Which Harry Percy here at Holmedon tooke,
  347328Were as he 
saies, not with 
such 
strength denied
  348329As is deliuered to your maie
stie.
  349330Either enuie therefore, or mi
spri
sion,
  350331Is guiltie of this fault, and not my 
sonne.
