I warrant it is to knight you, captain.

God's will, and his pleasure, captain, I beseech 2717you now come apace to the king. There is more good 2718toward you, peradventure, than is in your knowledge to 2719dream of.

[To Fluellen] Sir, know you this glove?

Know the glove? I know the glove is a glove.

I know this, and thus I challenge it.

'Sblood, an arrant traitor as any's in the 2725universal world, or in France, or in England!

How now, sir? [To Williams] You villain!

Do you think I'll be forsworn?

Stand away, Captain Gower. I will give treason 2729his payment into plows, I warrant you.

I am no traitor.

That's a lie in thy throat. [To Gower] I charge you in his 2732majesty's name, apprehend him. He's a friend of the Duke 2733Alençon's.

How now, how now, what's the matter?

My lord of Warwick, here is, praised be God 2737for it, a most contagious treason come to light, look 2738you, as you shall desire in a summer's day. Here is his 2739majesty.

How now, what's the matter?

My liege, here is a villain and a traitor 2742that, look your grace, has struck the glove which 2743your majesty is take out of the helmet of 2744Alençon.

My liege, this was my glove -- here is the fellow 2746of it -- and he that I gave it to in change promised to wear 2747it in his cap. I promised to strike him if he did. I met 2748this man with my glove in his cap and I have been as 2749good as my word.

Your majesty hear now, saving your majesty's 2751manhood, what an arrant, rascally, beggarly, lousy 2752knave it is. I hope your majesty is pear me testimony 2753and witness, and will avouchment, that this is the glove 2754of Alençon that your majesty is give me, in your 2755conscience now.

Give me thy glove, soldier. 2757Look, here is the fellow of it.

4.8.192758'Twas I indeed thou promisèd'st to strike,

4.8.202759And thou hast given me most bitter terms.

An't please your majesty, let his neck answer 2761for it, if there is any martial law in the world.

How canst thou make me satisfaction?

All offences, my lord, come from the heart. 2764Never came any from mine that might offend your 2765majesty.

It was ourself thou didst abuse.

Your majesty came not like yourself. You 2768appeared to me but as a common man -- witness the 2769night, your garments, your lowliness -- and what 2770your highness suffered under that shape, I beseech you 2771take it for your own fault and not mine, for had you 2772been as I took you for, I made no offense. Therefore I 2773beseech your highness pardon me.

Here, uncle Exeter, fill this glove with crowns

4.8.272775And give it to this fellow. [To Williams] Keep it, fellow,

4.8.282776And wear it for an honor in thy cap

4.8.292777Till I do challenge it. Give him the crowns.

4.8.302778[To Fluellen] And captain, you must needs be friends with him.

By this day and this light, the fellow has 2780mettle enough in his belly. -- Hold, there is twelvepence for 2781you, and I pray you to serve God and keep you out of 2782prawls, and prabbles, and quarrels, and dissensions, and I 2783warrant you it is the better for you.

I will none of your money.

It is with a good will. I can tell you it will serve 2786you to mend your shoes. Come, wherefore should you 2787be so pashful? Your shoes is not so good. 'Tis a good 2788silling, I warrant you, or I will change it.

Now, herald, are the dead numbered?

[Presenting a paper] Here is the number of the slaughtered 2792French.

[To Exeter] What prisoners of good sort are taken, 2794uncle?

Charles, Duke of Orléans, nephew to the king;

4.8.382796John, Duke of Bourbon, and Lord Boucicaut.

4.8.392797Of other lords and barons, knights and squires,

4.8.402798Full fifteen hundred, besides common men.

This note doth tell me of ten thousand French

4.8.422800That in the field lie slain. Of princes in this number

4.8.432801And nobles bearing banners, there lie dead

4.8.442802One hundred twenty-six. Added to these,

4.8.452803Of knights, esquires, and gallant gentlemen,

4.8.462804Eight thousand and four hundred, of the which

4.8.472805Five hundred were but yesterday dubbed knights.

4.8.482806So that in these ten thousand they have lost

4.8.492807There are but sixteen hundred mercenaries.

4.8.502808The rest are princes, barons, lords, knights, squires,

4.8.512809And gentlemen of blood and quality.

4.8.522810The names of those their nobles that lie dead:

4.8.532811Charles d'Alberet, High Constable of France,

4.8.542812Jacques of Châtillon, Admiral of France,

4.8.552813The Master of the Crossbows, Lord Rambures,

4.8.562814Great Master of France, the brave Sir Guichard Dauphin;

4.8.572815Jean Duke of Alençon, Antony Duke of Brabant,

4.8.582816The brother to the Duke of Burgundy,

4.8.592817And édouard Duke of Bar. Of lusty earls,

4.8.602818Grandpré and Roucy, Fauquembergues and Foix,

4.8.612819Beaumont and Marle, Vaudémont and Lestrelles.

4.8.622820Here was a royal fellowship of death. --

4.8.632821Where is the number of our English dead?

4.8.642822Edward the Duke of York, the Earl of Suffolk,

4.8.652823Sir Richard Kyghley, Davey Gam, Esquire.

4.8.662824None else of name, and of all other men

4.8.672825But five-and-twenty. O 2826God, thy arm was here,

4.8.682827And not to us but to thy arm alone

4.8.692828Ascribe we all. When, without stratagem,

4.8.702829But in plain shock and even play of battle,

4.8.712830Was ever known so great and little loss

4.8.722831On one part and on th'other? Take it, God,

4.8.732832For it is none but thine.

For it is none but thine. 'Tis wonderful.

Come, go we in procession to the village,

4.8.752835And be it death proclaimèd through our host

4.8.762836To boast of this, or take that praise from God

4.8.772837Which is his only.

Is it not lawful, an't please your majesty, to tell 2839how many is killed?

Yes, captain, but with this acknowledgement:

4.8.802841That God fought for us.

Yes, my conscience, he did us great good.

Do we all holy rites.

4.8.832844Let there be sung Non nobis and Te Deum,

4.8.842845The dead with charity enclosed in clay,

4.8.852846And then to Calais, and to England then,

4.8.862847Where ne'er from France arrived more happy men.
