     See    where    she   comes�察   �was   never   father   had   Against    his  child   an 

embassage   so   bad��COUNTESS。   My   Lord   and   father�察  �I   have   sought   for 

you�此�My mother and the Peers importune you To keep in presence of his 

majesty�察�And do your best to make his highness merry。 

     WARWICK。 ��Aside。��How shall I enter in this graceless arrant�拭�I must 

not call her child�察�for where's the father That will in such a suit seduce his 

child�拭�Then�察�'wife of Salisbury'�察�shall I so begin�拭�No�察�he's my friend�察�and 

where is found the friend That will do friendship such indammagement�拭�

     ��To the Countess。�А�

     Neither my daughter nor my dear friend's wife�察�I am not Warwick�察�as 

thou thinkst I am�察�But an attorney from the Court of hell�察�That thus have 

housed my spirit in his form�察�To do a message to thee from the king。 The 

mighty king of England dotes on thee�此�He that hath power to take away 

thy life�察�Hath power to take thy honor�察�then consent To pawn thine honor 

rather than thy life�此�Honor is often lost and got again�察�But life�察�once gone�察�

hath no recovery。 The Sun�察�that withers hay�察�doth nourish grass�察�The king�察�

that   would   disdain   thee�察  �will   advance   thee。   The   Poets   write   that   great 

Achilles' spear Could heal the wound it made��the moral is�察�What mighty 

men misdo�察�they can amend。 The Lyon doth become his bloody jaws�察�And 

grace his forragement by  being mild�察�When vassel   fear lies trembling   at 

his feet。 The king will in his glory hide thy shame�察�And those that gaze on 

him to find out thee�察�Will lose their eye´sight�察�looking in the Sun。 What 

can one drop of poison harm the Sea�察�Whose huge vastures can digest the 

ill And make it loose his operation�拭�The king's great name will temper thy 

misdeeds�察�And   give   the   bitter   potion   of   reproach�察�A  sugared�察  �sweet   and 

most delicious taste。 Besides�察�it is no harm to do the thing Which without 

shame     could    not  be   left  undone。    Thus   have    I  in  his  majesty's   behalf 

Appareled   sin   in   virtuous   sentences�察�And   dwell   upon   thy   answer   in   his 

suit。 

     COUNTESS。   Unnatural   besiege�   �woe   me   unhappy�察 �To   have   escaped 

the danger of my foes�察�And to be ten times worse injured by friends� �Hath

he   no   means   to   stain   my  honest   blood�察  �But   to   corrupt   the   author   of   my 

blood   To   be   his   scandalous     and   vile   solicitor�拭 �No   marvel   though   the 

branches   be   then   infected�察�When   poison   hath   encompassed   the   root�此  �No 

marvel though the leprous infant die�察�When the stern dame invenometh the 

Dug。 Why  then�察 �give   sin   a   passport to offend�察�And   youth   the   dangerous 

reign of liberty�此�Blot out the strict forbidding of the law�察�And cancel every 

cannon that prescribes A shame for shame or penance for offence。 No�察�let 

me die�察�if his too boistrous will Will have it so�察�before I will consent To be 

an actor in his graceless lust。 

     WARWICK。 Why�察�now thou speakst as I would have thee speak�此�And 

mark how I unsay my words again。 An honorable grave is more esteemed 

Than the polluted closet of a king�此�The greater man�察�the greater is the thing�察�

Be it good or bad�察�that he shall undertake�此�An unreputed mote�察�flying in 

the Sun�察�Presents a greater substance than it is�此�The freshest summer's day 

doth soonest taint The loathed carrion that it seems to kiss�此�Deep are the 

blows made with a mighty Axe�此�That sin doth ten times aggravate it self�察�

That is committed in a holy place�此�An evil deed�察�done by authority�察�Is sin 

and subornation��Deck an Ape In tissue�察�and the beauty of the robe Adds 

but   the   greater   scorn   unto   the   beast。 A  spatious   field   of   reasons   could   I 

urge Between his glory�察�daughter�察�and thy shame�此�That poison shews worst 

in a golden cup�察�Dark night seems darker by the lightning flash�察�Lilies that 

fester smell far worse than weeds�察�And every glory that inclines to sin�察�The 

shame is treble by the opposite。 So leave I with my blessing in thy bosom�察�

Which   then   convert   to   a   most   heavy   curse�察  �When   thou   convertest   from 

honor's golden name To the black faction of bed blotting shame。 

     COUNTESS。 I'll follow thee�察�and when my mind turns so�察�My body 

sink my soul in endless woe� �

          SCENE II。 The Same。 A Room in the Castle。 



     ��Enter at one door Derby from France�察�At an other door Audley with a 

Drum。�А�

    DERBY。 Thrice noble Audley�察�well encountered here� �How is it with 

our sovereign and his peers�拭�

    AUDLEY。 Tis full a fortnight�察�since I saw his highness What time he 

sent me forth to muster men�察�Which I accordingly have done�察�and bring 

them hither In fair array before his majesty。 

    What news�察�my Lord of Derby�察�from the Emperor�拭�

    DERBY。       As   good   as  we   desire��the  Emperor     Hath   yielded   to  his 

highness   friendly   aid�察�And   makes   our   king   lieutenant   general   In   all   his 

lands and large dominions�察�Then via for the spatious bounds of France� �

    AUDLEY。 What�察�doth his highness leap to hear these news�拭�

    DERBY。 I have not yet   found time to open them�察�The king is in his 

closet�察�malcontent�察�For what�察�I know not�察�but he gave in charge�察�Till after 

dinner none should interrupt him�此�The Countess Salisbury and her father 

Warwick�察�Artois and all look underneath the brows。 

    AUDLEY。 Undoubtedly�察�then�察�some thing is amiss。 

     ��Trumpet within。�А�

    DERBY。 The Trumpets sound�察�the king is now abroad。 

     ��Enter the King。�А�

    AUDLEY。 Here comes his highness。 

    DERBY。 Befall my sovereign all my sovereign's wish� �

    KING EDWARD。 Ah�察�that thou wert a Witch to make it so� �

    DERBY。 The Emperour greeteth you。 

     ��Presenting Letters。�А�

    KING EDWARD。 Would it were the Countess� �

       DERBY。 And hath accorded to your highness suite。 

    KING EDWARD。 Thou liest�察�she hath not�察�but I would she had。 

    AUDLEY。 All love and duty to my Lord the King� �

    KING EDWARD。 Well�察�all but one is none。What news with you�拭�

    AUDLEY。 I have�察�my liege�察�levied those horse and foot According to 

your charge�察�and brought them hither。

                                 King Edward the Third 



    KING EDWARD。 Then let those foot trudge hence upon those horse 

According      to  our  discharge�察  �and   be  gone。   Darby�察  �I'll  look  upon   the 

Countess' mind anon。 

    DERBY。 The Countess' mind�察�my liege�拭�

    KING EDWARD。 I mean the Emperour��leave me alone。 

    AUDLEY。 What is his mind�拭�

    DERBY。 Let's leave him to his humor。 

     ��Exeunt。�А�

    KING EDWARD。 Thus from the heart's aboundance speaks the tongue�察�

Countess for Emperour��and indeed�察�why not�拭�She is as imperator over me 

And   I   to   her   Am   as   a   kneeling   vassal�察  �that   observes   The   pleasure   or 

displeasure of her eye。 

     ��Enter Lodowick。�А�

    What says the more than Cleopatra's match To Caesar now�拭�

    LODOWICK。   That   yet�察        �my   liege�察  �ere   night   She   will   resolve   your 

majesty。 

     ��Drum within。�А�

    KING EDWARD。 What drum is this that thunders forth this march�察�To 

start   the   tender   Cupid   in   my   bosom�拭  �Poor   shipskin�察  �how   it   brawls   with 

him that beateth it� �Go�察�break the thundring parchment bottom out�察�And I 

will teach it to conduct sweet lines Unto the bosom of a heavenly Nymph�察�

For I will use it as my writing paper�察�And so reduce him from a scolding 

drum To be the herald and dear counsel bearer Betwixt a goddess and a 

mighty king。 Go�察�bid the drummer learn to touch the Lute�察�Or hang him in 

the braces of his drum�察�For now we think it an uncivil thing�察�To trouble 

heaven with such harsh resounds�此�Away� �

     ��Exit。�А�

    The quarrel that I have requires no arms But these of mine��and these 

shall meet my foe In a deep march of penetrable groans�察�My eyes shall be 

my arrows�察�and my sighs Shall serve me as the vantage of the wind�察�To 

whirl away  my sweetest   artillery。 Ah�察�but�察  �alas�察�she   wins   the sun   of   me�察�

For that is she her self�察�and thence it comes That Poets term the wanton 

warrior blind�察�But love hath eyes as judgement to his steps�察�Till too much 

loved glory dazzles them。

march�察�Stands with Prince Edward�察�your thrice valiant son。 

     ��Enter Prince Edward。�А�

     KING EDWARD。 I see the boy�察�oh�察�how his mother's face�察�Modeled in 

his�察�corrects my strayed desire�察�And rates my heart�察�and chides my thievish 

eye�察�Who�察�being rich enough in seeing her�察�Yet seeks elsewhere��and basest
