Kill the poys and the luggage! 'Tis expressly 2527against the law of arms. 'Tis as arrant a piece of 2528knavery, mark you now, as can be offer't. In your conscience 2529now, is it not?

'Tis certain there's not a boy left alive, and the 2531cowardly rascals that ran from the battle ha' done 2532this slaughter. Besides, they have burned and carried 2533away all that was in the king's tent, wherefore the king 2534most worthily hath caused every soldier to cut his 2535prisoner's throat. Oh, 'tis a gallant king.

Ay, he was porn at Monmouth, Captain Gower. 2537What call you the town's name where Alexander the 2538Pig was born?

Alexander the Great.

Why, I pray you, is not "pig" great? The pig, or 2541the great, or the mighty, or the huge, or the 2542magnanimous, are all one reckonings, save the phrase is a little 2543variations.

I think Alexander the Great was born in 2545Macedon. His father was called Philip of Macedon, as I 2546take it.

I think it is in Macedon where Alexander is 2548porn. I tell you, captain, if you look in the maps of 2549the 'orld, I warrant you sall find, in the comparisons 2550between Macedon and Monmouth, that the situations, look 2551you, is both alike. There is a river in Macedon, and there 2552is also moreover a river at Monmouth. It is called Wye at 2553Monmouth, but it is out of my prains what is the name 2554of the other river. But 'tis all one, 'tis alike as my fingers 2555is to my fingers, and there is salmons in both. If you 2556mark Alexander's life well, Harry of Monmouth's life is 2557come after it indifferent well, for there is figures in all 2558things. Alexander, God knows, and you know, in his 2559rages, and his furies, and his wraths, and his cholers, and 2560his moods, and his displeasures, and his indignations, 2561and also being a little intoxicates in his prains, did in 2562his ales and his angers, look you, kill his best friend 2563Cleitus.

Our king is not like him in that. He never killed 2565any of his friends.

It is not well done, mark you now, to take the 2567tales out of my mouth ere it is made and finished. I speak 2568but in the figures and comparisons of it. As Alexander 2569killed his friend Cleitus, being in his ales and his cups, so 2570also Harry Monmouth, being in his right wits, and his 2571good judgments, turned away the fat knight with the 2572great belly-doublet. He was full of jests, and gipes, and 2573knaveries, and mocks. I have forgot his name.

Sir John Falstaff.

That is he. I'll tell you, there is good men porn 2576at Monmouth.

Here comes his majesty.

I was not angry since I came to France

4.7.142581Until this instant. Take a trumpet, herald.

4.7.152582Ride thou unto the horsemen on yon hill.

4.7.162583If they will fight with us, bid them come down,

4.7.172584Or void the field. They do offend our sight.

4.7.182585If they'll do neither, we will come to them

4.7.192586And make them skirr away as swift as stones

4.7.202587Enforcèd from the old Assyrian slings.

4.7.212588Besides, we'll cut the throats of those we have,

4.7.222589And not a man of them that we shall take

4.7.232590Shall taste our mercy. Go and tell them so.

Here comes the herald of the French, my liege.

His eyes are humbler than they used to be.

How now, what means this, herald? Know'st 2595thou not

4.7.272596That I have fined these bones of mine for ransom?

4.7.282597Com'st thou again for ransom?

Com'st thou again for ransom? No, great king.

4.7.292599I come to thee for charitable license,

4.7.302600That we may wander o'er this bloody field

4.7.312601To book our dead and then to bury them,

4.7.322602To sort our nobles from our common men.

4.7.332603For many of our princes -- woe the while --

4.7.342604Lie drowned and soaked in mercenary blood;

4.7.352605So do our vulgar drench their peasant limbs

4.7.362606In blood of princes, and the wounded steeds

4.7.372607Fret fetlock deep in gore, and with wild rage

4.7.382608Jerk out their armèd heels at their dead masters,

4.7.392609Killing them twice. O, give us leave, great king,

4.7.402610To view the field in safety and dispose

4.7.412611Of their dead bodies.

Of their dead bodies. I tell thee truly, herald,

4.7.422613I know not if the day be ours or no,

4.7.432614For yet a many of your horsemen peer

4.7.442615And gallop o'er the field.

And gallop o'er the field. The day is yours.

Praisèd be God and not our strength for it.

4.7.462618What is this castle called that stands hard by?

They call it Agincourt.

Then call we this the field of Agincourt,

4.7.492621Fought on the day of Crispin Crispianus.

Your grandfather of famous memory, an't please 2623your majesty, and your great uncle Edward the Plack 2624Prince of Wales, as I have read in the chronicles, fought 2625a most prave pattle here in France.

They did, Fluellen.

Your majesty says very true. If your majesties 2628is remembered of it, the Welshmen did good service in a 2629garden where leeks did grow, wearing leeks in their 2630Monmouth caps, which your majesty know to this hour 2631is an honorable badge of the service. And I do believe 2632your majesty takes no scorn to wear the leek upon 2633Saint Tavy's day.

I wear it for a memorable honor,

4.7.542635For I am Welsh, you know, good countryman.

All the water in Wye cannot wash your 2637majesty's Welsh plood out of your pody, I can tell you that. 2638God pless it, and preserve it, as long as it pleases his 2639grace, and his majesty too.

Thanks, good my countryman.

By Jeshu, I am your majesty's countryman. I 2642care not who know it; I will confess it to all the 'orld. I 2643need not to be ashamed of your majesty, praised be God, 2644so long as your majesty is an honest man.

God keep me so. --

God keep me so. -- 2647Our heralds go with him.

4.7.592648Bring me just notice of the numbers dead

4.7.602649On both our parts. --

On both our parts. -- Call yonder fellow hither.

[To Williams] Soldier, you must come to the king.

Soldier, why wear'st thou that glove in thy 2652cap?

An't please your majesty, 'tis the gage of one 2654that I should fight withal, if he be alive.

An Englishman?

An't please your majesty, a rascal that 2657swaggered with me last night, who, if alive and ever dare to 2658challenge this glove, I have sworn to take him a box 2659o'th'ear; or if I can see my glove in his cap, which he 2660swore as he was a soldier he would wear, if alive, I will 2661strike it out soundly.

What think you, Captain Fluellen? Is it fit this 2663soldier keep his oath?

He is a craven and a villain else, an't please 2665your majesty, in my conscience.

It may be his enemy is a gentleman of great 2667sort, quite from the answer of his degree.

Though he be as good a gentleman as the devil is, 2669as Lucifer and Belzebub himself, it is necessary, look 2670your grace, that he keep his vow and his oath. If he 2671be perjured, see you now, his reputation is as arrant a 2672villain and a jack-sauce as ever his black shoe trod 2673upon God's ground and his earth, in my conscience, law.

Then keep thy vow, sirrah, when thou meet'st 2675the fellow.

So I will, my liege, as I live.

Who serv'st thou under?

Under Captain Gower, my liege.

Gower is a good captain, and is good 2680knowledge and literatured in the wars.

Call him hither to me, soldier.

I will, my liege.

Here, Fluellen, wear thou this favor for me and 2684stick it in thy cap. [Gives him Williams's glove] When Alençon and myself were 2685down together I plucked this glove from his helm. If 2686any man challenge this, he is a friend to Alençon and an 2687enemy to our person. If thou encounter any such, 2688apprehend him, and thou dost me love.

Your grace does me as great honors as can be 2690desired in the hearts of his subjects. I would fain see 2691the man that has but two legs that shall find himself 2692aggrief'd at this glove. That is all, but I would fain see 2693it once an't please God of his grace that I might see.

Know'st thou Gower?

He is my dear friend, an't please you.

Pray thee, go seek him and bring him to my 2697tent.

I will fetch him.

My lord of Warwick and my brother Gloucester,

4.7.842700Follow Fluellen closely at the heels.

4.7.852701The glove which I have given him for a favor

4.7.862702May haply purchase him a box o'th'ear.

4.7.872703It is the soldier's. I by bargain should

4.7.882704Wear it myself. Follow, good cousin Warwick.

4.7.892705If that the soldier strike him -- as I judge

4.7.902706By his blunt bearing he will keep his word --

4.7.912707Some sudden mischief may arise of it.

4.7.922708For I do know Fluellen valiant

4.7.932709And touched with choler, hot as gunpowder,

4.7.942710And quickly will return an injury.

4.7.952711Follow, and see there be no harm between them. --

4.7.962712Go you with me, uncle of Exeter.
