King Edward the Third
SCENE I。 Picardy。 The English Camp before
Calais。
��Enter King Edward�察�Queen Phillip�察�Derby�察�soldiers。�А�
KING EDWARD。 No more�察�Queen Phillip�察�pacify your self�察�Copland�察�
except he can excuse his fault�察�Shall find displeasure written in our looks。
And now unto this proud resisting town� �Soldiers�察�assault��I will no longer
stay�察�To be deluded by their false delays�察�Put all to sword�察�and make the
spoil your own。
��Enter six Citizens in their Shirts�察 �bare foot�察 �with halters about their
necks。�А�
ALL。 Mercy�察�king Edward�察�mercy�察�gracious Lord� �
KING EDWARD。 Contemptuous villains�察�call ye now for truce�拭�Mine
ears are stopped against your bootless cries�此�Sound�察�drums alarum�察�draw
threatening swords� �
FIRST CITIZEN。 Ah�察�noble Prince�察�take pity on this town�察�And hear us�察�
mighty king�此 �We claim the promise that your highness made�察 �The two
days' respite is not yet expired�察�And we are come with willingness to bear
What torturing death or punishment you please�察 �So that the trembling
multitude be saved。
KING EDWARD。 My promise��Well�察�I do confess as much�此�But I do
require the chiefest Citizens And men of most account that should submit�察�
You�察�peradventure�察�are but servile grooms�察�Or some felonious robbers on
the Sea�察�Whom�察�apprehended�察�law would execute�察�Albeit severity lay dead
in us�此�No�察�no�察�ye cannot overreach us thus。
SECOND CITIZEN。 The Sun�察 �dread Lord�察 �that in the western fall
Beholds us now low brought through misery�察�Did in the Orient purple of
the morn Salute our coming forth�察 �when we were known�察 �Or may our
portion be with damned fiends。
KING EDWARD。 If it be so�察 �then let our covenant stand�此 �We take
possession of the town in peace�察 �But�察 �for your selves�察 �look you for no
remorse�察 �But�察 �as imperial justice hath decreed�察 �Your bodies shall be
dragged about these walls�察�And after feel the stroke of quartering steel�此�

King Edward the Third
This is your doom��go�察�soldiers�察�see it done。
QUEEN PHILLIP。 Ah�察�be more mild unto these yielding men� �It is a
glorious thing to stablish peace�察�And kings approach the nearest unto God
By giving life and safety unto men�此�As thou intendest to be king of France�察�
So let her people live to call thee king�察�For what the sword cuts down or
fire hath spoiled�察�Is held in reputation none of ours。
KING EDWARD。 Although experience teach us this is true�察 �That
peaceful quietness brings most delight�察 �When most of all abuses are
controlled�察�Yet�察�insomuch it shall be known that we As well can master our
affections As conquer other by the dint of sword�察�Phillip�察�prevail�察�we yield
to thy request�此�These men shall live to boast of clemency�察�And�察�tyranny�察�
strike terror to thy self。
SECOND CITIZEN。 Long live your highness� �happy be your reign� �
KING EDWARD。 Go�察�get you hence�察�return unto the town�察�And if this
kindness hath deserved your love�察�Learn then to reverence Edward as your
king。
��Exeunt Citizens。�А�
Now�察 �might we hear of our affairs abroad�察 �We would�察 �till gloomy
Winter were o'er spent�察 �Dispose our men in garrison a while。 But who
comes here�拭�
��Enter Copland and King David。�А�
DERBY。 Copland�察�my Lord�察�and David�察�King of Scots。
KING EDWARD。 Is this the proud presumptuous Esquire of the North�察�
That would not yield his prisoner to my Queen�拭�
COPLAND。 I am�察 �my liege�察 �a Northern Esquire indeed�察 �But neither
proud nor insolent�察�I trust。
KING EDWARD。 What moved thee�察 �then�察 �to be so obstinate To
contradict our royal Queen's desire�拭�
COPLAND。 No wilful disobedience�察�mighty Lord�察�But my desert and
public law at arms�此 �I took the king my self in single fight�察�And�察 �like a
soldiers�察 �would be loath to lose The least pre´eminence that I had won。
And Copland straight upon your highness' charge Is come to France�察�and
with a lowly mind Doth vale the bonnet of his victory�此 �Receive�察 �dread
Lord�察�the custom of my fraught�察�The wealthy tribute of my laboring hands�察�

Which should long since have been surrendered up�察�Had but your gracious
self been there in place。
QUEEN PHILLIP。 But�察�Copland�察�thou didst scorn the king's command�察�
Neglecting our commission in his name。
COPLAND。 His name I reverence�察 �but his person more�察 �His name
shall keep me in allegiance still�察�But to his person I will bend my knee。
KING EDWARD。 I pray thee�察�Phillip�察�let displeasure pass�察�This man
doth please me�察�and I like his words�此�For what is he that will attempt great
deeds�察�And lose the glory that ensues the same�拭�All rivers have recourse
unto the Sea�察�And Copland's faith relation to his king。 Kneel�察 �therefore�察�
down��now rise�察�king Edward's knight�察�And�察�to maintain thy state�察�I freely
give Five hundred marks a year to thee and thine。
��Enter Salisbury。�А�
Welcome�察�Lord Salisbury��what news from Brittain�拭�
SALISBURY。 This�察�mighty king��the Country we have won�察�And John
de Mountford�察 �regent of that place�察 �Presents your highness with this
Coronet�察�Protesting true allegiance to your Grace。
KING EDWARD。 We thank thee for thy service�察 �valiant Earl�察�
Challenge our favour�察�for we owe it thee。
SALISBURY。 But now�察�my Lord�察�as this is joyful news�察�So must my
voice be tragical again�察�And I must sing of doleful accidents。
KING EDWARD。 What�察�have our men the overthrow at Poitiers�拭�Or is
our son beset with too much odds�拭�
SALISBURY。 He was�察 �my Lord��and as my worthless self With forty
other serviceable knights�察�Under safe conduct of the Dauphin's seal�察�Did
travail that way�察�finding him distressed�察�A troop of Lances met us on the
way�察�Surprised�察�and brought us prisoners to the king�察�Who�察�proud of this�察�
and eager of revenge�察�Commanded straight to cut off all our heads�此�And
surely we had died�察�but that the Duke�察�More full of honor than his angry
sire�察 �Procured our quick deliverance from thence�察 �But�察 �ere we went�察�
'Salute your king'�察�quoth he�察�'Bid him provide a funeral for his son�此�To day
our sword shall cut his thread of life�察�And�察�sooner than he thinks�察�we'll be
with him�察�To quittance those displeasures he hath done。' This said�察�we past�察�
not daring to reply�察 �Our hearts were dead�察 �our looks diffused and wan。

Wandering�察 �at last we climed unto a hill�察 �From whence�察 �although our
grief were much before�察�Yet now to see the occasion with our eyes Did
thrice so much increase our heaviness�此�For there�察�my Lord�察�oh�察�there we
did descry Down in a valley how both armies lay。 The French had cast
their trenches like a ring�察 �And every Barricado's open front Was thick
embossed with brazen ordinance�察 �Here stood a battaile of ten thousand
horse�察�There twice as many pikes in quadrant wise�察�Here Crossbows�察�and
deadly wounding darts�此�And in the midst�察�like to a slender point Within the
compass of the horizon�察�As twere a rising bubble in the sea�察�A Hasle wand
amidst a wood of Pines�察 �Or as a bear fast chained unto a stake�察 �Stood
famous Edward�察�still expecting when Those dogs of France would fasten
on his flesh。 Anon the death procuring knell begins�此�Off go the Cannons�察�
that with trembling noise Did shake the very Mountain where they stood�察�
Then sound the Trumpets' clangor in the air�察�The battles join��and�察�when we
could no more Discern the difference twixt the friend and foe�察�So intricate
the dark confusion was�察�Away we turned our watery eyes with sighs�察�As
black as powder fuming into smoke。 And thus�察�I fear�察�unhappy have I told
The most untimely tale of Edward's fall。
QUEEN PHILLIP。 Ah me�察�is this my welcome into France�拭�Is this the
comfort that I looked to have�察�When I should meet with my beloved son�拭�
Sweet Ned�察 �I would thy mother in the sea Had been prevented of this
mortal grief� �
KING EDWARD。 Content thee�察�Phillip�察�tis not tears will serve To call
him back�察�if he be taken hence�此�Comfort thy self�察�as I do�察�gentle Queen�察�
With hope of sharp�察�unheard of�察�dire revenge。 He bids me to provide his
funeral�察�And so I will�察�but all the Peers in France Shall mourners be�察�and
weep out bloody tears�察�Until their empty veins be dry and sere�此�The pillars
of his hearse shall be his bones�察 �The mould that covers him�察 �their City
ashes�察 �His knell�察 �the groaning cries of dying men�察�And�察 �in the stead of
tapers on his tomb�察�An hundred fifty towers shall burning blaze�察�While we
bewail our valiant son's decease。
��After a flourish�察�sounded within�察�enter an herald。�А�
HERALD。 Rejoice�察�my Lord�察�ascend the imperial throne� �The mighty
