          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�

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�
