1781Orleance. I, but these English are shrowdly out of

1782Beefe.

1783Const. Then shall we finde to morrow, they haue only

1784stomackes to eate, and none to fight. Now is it time to

1785arme: come, shall we about it?

1786Orleance. It is now two a Clock: but let me see, by ten

1787Wee shall haue each a hundred English men. Exeunt.

1790Now entertaine coniecture of a time,

1791When creeping Murmure and the poring Darke

1792Fills the wide Vessell of the Vniuerse.

1793From Camp to Camp, through the foule Womb of Night

1794The Humme of eyther Army stilly sounds;

1795That the fixt Centinels almost receiue

1796The secret Whispers of each others Watch.

1797Fire answers fire, and through their paly flames

1798Each Battaile sees the others vmber'd face.

1799Steed threatens Steed, in high and boastfull Neighs

1800Piercing the Nights dull Eare: and from the Tents,

1801The Armourers accomplishing the Knights,

1802With busie Hammers closing Riuets vp,

1803Giue dreadfull note of preparation.

1804The Countrey Cocks doe crow, the Clocks doe towle:

1805And the third howre of drowsie Morning nam'd,

1806Prowd of their Numbers, and secure in Soule,

1807The confident and ouer-lustie French,

1808Doe the low-rated English play at Dice;

1809And chide the creeple-tardy-gated Night,

1810Who like a foule and ougly Witch doth limpe

1811So tediously away. The poore condemned English,

1812Like Sacrifices, by their watchfull Fires

1813Sit patiently, and inly ruminate

1814The Mornings danger: and their gesture sad,

1815Inuesting lanke-leane Cheekes, and Warre-worne Coats,

1816Presented them vnto the gazing Moone

1817So many horride Ghosts. O now, who will behold

1818The Royall Captaine of this ruin'd Band

1819Walking from Watch to Watch, from Tent to Tent;

1820Let him cry, Prayse and Glory on his head:

1821For forth he goes, and visits all his Hoast,

1822Bids them good morrow with a modest Smyle,

1823And calls them Brothers, Friends, and Countreymen.

1824Vpon his Royall Face there is no note,

1825How dread an Army hath enrounded him;

1826Nor doth he dedicate one iot of Colour

1827Vnto the wearie and all-watched Night:

1828But freshly lookes, and ouer-beares Attaint,

1829With chearefull semblance, and sweet Maiestie:

1830That euery Wretch, pining and pale before,

1831Beholding him, plucks comfort from his Lookes.

1832A Largesse vniuersall, like the Sunne,

1833His liberall Eye doth giue to euery one,

1834Thawing cold feare, that meane and gentle all

1835Behold, as may vnworthinesse define.

1836A little touch of Harry in the Night,

1837And so our Scene must to the Battaile flye:

1838Where, O for pitty, we shall much disgrace,

1839With foure or fiue most vile and ragged foyles,

1840(Right ill dispos'd, in brawle ridiculous)

1841The Name of Agincourt: Yet sit and see,

1842Minding true things, by what their Mock'ries bee.

1845King. Gloster, 'tis true that we are in great danger,

1846The greater therefore should our Courage be.

1847God morrow Brother Bedford: God Almightie,

1848There is some soule of goodnesse in things euill,

1849Would men obseruingly distill it out.

1850For our bad Neighbour makes vs early stirrers,

1851Which is both healthfull, and good husbandry.

1852Besides, they are our outward Consciences,

1853And Preachers to vs all; admonishing,

1854That we should dresse vs fairely for our end.

1855Thus may we gather Honey from the Weed,

1856And make a Morall of the Diuell himselfe.

1858Good morrow old Sir Thomas Erpingham:

1859A good soft Pillow for that good white Head,

1860Were better then a churlish turfe of France.

1861Erping. Not so my Liege, this Lodging likes me better,

1862Since I may say, now lye I like a King.

1863King. 'Tis good for men to loue their present paines,

1864Vpon example, so the Spirit is eased:

1865And when the Mind is quickned, out of doubt

1866The Organs, though defunct and dead before,

1867Breake vp their drowsie Graue, and newly moue

1868With casted slough, and fresh legeritie.

1869Lend me thy Cloake Sir Thomas: Brothers both,

1870Commend me to the Princes in our Campe;

1871Doe my good morrow to them, and anon

1872Desire them all to my Pauillion.

1873Gloster. We shall, my Liege.

1874Erping. Shall I attend your Grace?

1875King. No, my good Knight:

1876Goe with my Brothers to my Lords of England:

1877I and my Bosome must debate a while,

1878And then I would no other company.

1879Erping. The Lord in Heauen blesse thee, Noble

1880Harry. Exeunt.

1881King. God a mercy old Heart, thou speak'st cheare-

1882fully. Enter Pistoll.

1883Pist. Che vous la?

1884King. A friend.

1885Pist. Discusse vnto me, art thou Officer, or art thou

1886base, common, and popular?

1887King. I am a Gentleman of a Company.

1889King. Euen so: what are you?

1890Pist. As good a Gentleman as the Emperor.

1891King. Then you are a better then the King.

1892Pist. The King's a Bawcock, and a Heart of Gold, a

1893Lad of Life, an Impe of Fame, of Parents good, of Fist

1894most valiant: I kisse his durtie shooe, and from heart-

1895string I loue the louely Bully. What is thy Name?

1896King. Harry le Roy.

1897Pist. Le Roy? a Cornish Name: art thou of Cornish Crew?

1898King. No, I am a Welchman.

1899Pist. Know'st thou Fluellen?

1900King. Yes.

1901Pist. Tell him Ile knock his Leeke about his Pate vpon

1902S. Dauies day.

1903King. Doe not you weare your Dagger in your Cappe

1904that day, least he knock that about yours.
