           SCENE III。 Poitou。 Fields near Poitiers。 The 



        French camp�察�Tent of the Duke of Normandy。 



     ��Enter Charles of Normandy and Villiers。�А�

     CHARLES。 I wonder�察�Villiers�察�thou shouldest importune me For one 

that is our deadly enemy。 

     VILLIERS。 Not for his sake�察�my gracious Lord�察�so much Am I become 

an earnest advocate�察�As that thereby my ransom will be quit。 

     CHARLES。 Thy ransom�察�man�拭�why needest thou talk of that�拭�Art thou 

not free�拭�and are not all occasions�察�That happen for advantage of our foes�察�

To be accepted of�察�and stood upon�拭�

     VILLIERS。   No�察  �good   my   Lord�察  �except   the   same   be   just�察  �For   profit 

must with honor be comixt�察�Or else our actions are but scandalous。 But�察�

letting    pass   their   intricate  objections�察    �Wilt   please   your    highness     to 

subscribe�察�or no�拭�

     CHARLES。 Villiers�察�I will not�察�nor I cannot do it�察�Salisbury shall not 

have his will so much�察�To claim a passport how it pleaseth himself。 

     VILLIERS。 Why�察�then I know the extremity�察�my Lord�察�I must return to 

prison whence I came。 

     CHARLES。 Return��I hope thou wilt not�察�What bird that hath escaped 

the fowler's gin�察�Will not beware how she's ensnared again�拭�Or�察�what is he�察�

so senseless and secure�察�That�察�having hardly past a dangerous gul�察�Will put 

him self in peril there again�拭�

     VILLIERS。   Ah�察  �but   it   is   mine   oath�察  �my   gracious   Lord�察  �Which   I   in 

conscience may not violate�察�Or else a kingdom should not draw me hence。 

     CHARLES。 Thine   oath�拭  �why�察  �tat   doth   bind   thee   to   abide�此  �Hast   thou 

not sworn obedience to thy Prince�拭�

     VILLIERS。   In   all   things   that   uprightly   he   commands�此  �But   either   to 

persuade   or   threaten   me�察  �Not   to   perform   the   covenant   of   my   word�察  �Is 

lawless�察�and I need not to obey。 

     CHARLES。  Why�察  �is   it   lawful   for   a   man   to   kill�察�And   not�察 �to   break   a 

promise with his foe�拭�

     VILLIERS。 To   kill�察 �my  Lord�察 �when   war  is   once  proclaimed�察 �So   that

our   quarrel   be   for   wrongs   received�察  �No   doubt�察  �is   lawfully   permitted   us�察�

But in an oath we must be well advised�察�How we do swear�察�and�察�when we 

once have sworn�察�Not to infringe it�察�though we die therefore�此�Therefore�察�

my Lord�察�as willing I return�察�As if I were to fly to paradise。 

     CHARLES。   Stay�察  �my   Villiers�察  �thine   honorable   min   Deserves   to   be 

eternally admired。 Thy suit shall be no longer thus deferred�此�Give me the 

paper�察   �I'll  subscribe   to  it�察 �And�察  �wheretofore      I  loved   thee   as  Villiers�察�

Hereafter I'll embrace thee as my self。 Stay�察�and be still in favour with thy 

Lord。 

     VILLIERS。 I humbly thank you grace�察�I must dispatch�察�And send this 

passport first unto the Earl�察�And then I will attend your highness pleasure。 

     CHARLES。 Do so�察�Villiers��and Charles�察�when he hath need�察�Be such 

his soldiers�察�howsoever he speed� �

     ��Exit Villiers。�А�

     ��Enter King John。�А�

     KING JOHN。 Come�察�Charles�察�and arm thee�察�Edward is entrapped�察�The 

Prince of Wales is fallen into our hands�察�And we have compassed him�察�he 

cannot escape。 

     CHARLES。 But will your highness fight to day�拭�

     KING JOHN。 What   else�察�my  son�拭�he's scarce  eight thousand   strong�察�

And we are threescore thousand at the least。 

     CHARLES。 I have a prophecy�察�my gracious Lord�察�Wherein is written 

what success is like To happen us in this outrageous war�察�It was delivered 

me   at   Cresses   field   By  one that is   an   aged   Hermit   there。   ��Reads。��'When 

feathered   foul   shall   make   thine   army   tremble�察�And   flint   stones   rise   and 

break the battle ray�察�Then think on him that doth not now dissemble�察�For 

that shall be the hapless dreadful day�此�Yet�察�in the end�察�thy foot thou shalt 

advance As far in England as thy foe in France。' 

     KING   JOHN。   By   this   it   seems   we   shall   be   fortunate�此  �For   as   it   is 

impossible that stones Should ever rise   and break   the battle   ray�察�Or   airy 

foul make men in arms to quake�察�So is it like�察�we shall not be subdued�此�Or 

say this might be true�察�yet in the end�察�Since he doth promise we shall drive 

him   hence   And   forage   their   Country   as   they   have   done   ours�察  �By   this 

revenge that loss will seem the less。 But all are frivolous fancies�察�toys�察�and

              SCENE IV。 The same。 The English Camp。 



     ��Enter Prince Edward�察�Audley�察�and others。�А�

     PRINCE EDWARD。 Audley�察�the arms of death embrace us round�察�And 

comfort have we none�察�save that to die We pay sower earnest for a sweeter 

life。   At   Cressey   field    out   Clouds   of   Warlike   smoke        Choked   up   those 

French mouths & dissevered them�察�But now their multitudes of millions 

hide�察�Masking as twere�察�the beauteous burning Sun�察�Leaving no hope to us�察�

but sullen dark And eyeless terror of all ending night。 

     AUDLEY。   This   sudden�察  �mighty�察  �and   expedient   head   That   they   have 

made�察  �fair   prince�察  �is   wonderful。   Before   us   in   the   valley   lies   the   king�察�

Vantaged   with   all   that   heaven   and   earth   can   yield�察  �His   party   stronger 

battled   than   our   whole�此  �His   son�察  �the   braving   Duke   of   Normandy�察  �Hath 

trimmed the Mountain on our right hand up In shining plate�察�that now the 

aspiring   hill   Shews   like   a   silver   quarry   or   an   orb�察  �Aloft   the   which   the 

Banners�察�bannarets�察�And new replenished pendants cuff the air And beat 

the winds�察�that for their gaudiness Struggles to kiss them��on our left hand 

lies Phillip�察�the younger issue of the king�察�Coating the other hill in such 

array�察�That all his guilded upright pikes do seem Straight trees of gold�察�the 

pendants      leaves�察   �And     their  device     of  Antique     heraldry�察   �Quartered      in 

colours�察  �seeming   sundry  fruits�察  �Makes   it   the   Orchard   of   the   Hesperides�此�

Behind us too the hill doth bear his height�察�For like a half Moon�察�opening 

but   one   way�察  �It   rounds   us   in�察  �there   at   our   backs   are   lodged   The   fatal 

Crossbows�察�and the battle there Is governed by the rough Chattillion。 Then 

thus it stands��the valley for our flight The king binds in�察�the hills on either 

hand Are   proudly   royalized   by   his   sons�察�And   on   the   Hill   behind   stands 

certain death In pay and service with Chattillion。 

        PRINCE   EDWARD。   Death's   name   is   much   more   mighty   than   his 

deeds�察  �Thy   parcelling   this   power   hath   made   it   more。 As   many   sands   as 

these my hands can hold�察�Are but my handful of so many sands�察�Then�察�all 

the   world�察  �and   call   it   but   a   power�察  �Easily   ta'en   up�察  �and   quickly   thrown 

away�此  �But   if   I   stand   to   count   them   sand   by   sand�察  �The   number   would 

confound   my   memory�察�And   make   a   thousand   millions   of   a   task�察  �Which 

briefly is no more�察�indeed�察�than one。 These quarters�察�squadrons�察�and these

regiments�察�Before�察�behind us�察�and on either hand�察�Are but a power。When 

we name a man�察�His hand�察�his foot�察�his head hath several strengths�察�And 

being all but one self instant strength�察�Why�察�all this many�察�Audley�察�is but 

one�察�And we can call it all but one man's strength。 He that hath far to go�察�

tells it by miles�察�If he should tell the steps�察�it kills his heart�此�The drops are 

infinite�察�that make a flood�察�And yet�察�thou knowest�察�we call it but a Rain。 

There   is   but   one   France�察�one   king   of   France�察�That   France   hath no   more 

kings�察�and that same king Hath but the puissant legion of one king�察�And 

we have one��then apprehend no odds�察�For one to one is fair equality。 

     ��Enter an Herald from King John。�А�

     PRINCE EDWARD。 What tidings�察�messenger�拭�be plain and brief。 

     HERALD。 The king of France�察�my sovereign Lord and master�察�Greets
