that was a Friar once�察�Whose Oracles have many times proved true�察�And 

now he says�察�the time will shortly come�察�When as a Lyon�察�roused in the

houses'     tops�察  �Slaughter    and    mischief    walk    within    your   streets�察  �And�察�

unrestrained�察�make havoc as they pass�察�The form whereof even now my

vineyards�察�burning like an oven�察�And�察�as the reaking vapour in the wind 

Turned but aside�察�I like wise might discern The poor inhabitants�察�escaped 

the   flame�察  �Fall   numberless   upon   the   soldiers'   pikes。   Three   ways   these

     ��Enter King Edward�察�and the Earl of Darby�察�With Soldiers�察�and Gobin 

de Grey。�А�

    KING   EDWARD。  Where's   the   French   man   by   whose   cunning   guide 

We   found   the   shallow  of   this   River   Somme�察�And   had   directions   how   to 

pass the sea�拭�

     GOBIN。 Here�察�my good Lord。 

    KING EDWARD。 How art thou called�拭�tell me thy name。 

     GOBIN。 Gobin de Graie�察�if please your excellence。 

    KING   EDWARD。   Then�察  �Gobin�察  �for   the   service   thou   hast   done�察  �We 

here enlarge and give thee liberty�察�And�察�for recompense beside this good�察�

Thou   shalt   receive   five   hundred   marks   in   gold。   I   know   not   how�察  �we 

should have met our son�察�Whom now in heart I wish I might behold。 

     ��Enter Artois。�А�

    ARTOIS。 Good news�察�my Lord�察�the prince is hard at hand�察�And with 

him comes Lord Awdley and the rest�察�Whom since our landing we could 

never meet。 

     ��Enter Prince Edward�察�Lord Awdley�察�and Soldiers。�А�

    KING EDWARD。 Welcome�察�fair Prince��How hast thou sped�察�my son�察�

Since thy arrival on the coast of France�拭�

    PRINCE EDWARD。 Successfully�察�I thank the gracious heavens�此�Some

Carentigne�察�And others wasted�察�leaving at our heels A wide apparent field 

and    beaten   path   For  solitariness   to  progress   in�此 �Yet  those   that  would 

submit we kindly pardoned�察�But who in scorn refused our proffered peace�察�

Endured the penalty of sharp revenge。 

    KING   EDWARD。 Ah�察  �France�察  �why   shouldest   thou   be   thus   obstinate 

Against the kind embracement of thy friends�拭�How gently had we thought 

to touch thy breast And set our foot upon thy tender mould�察�But that�察�in 

froward and disdainful pride�察�Thou�察�like a skittish and untamed colt�察�Dost 

start aside and strike us with thy heels� �But tell me�察�Ned�察�in all thy warlike 

course�察�Hast thou not seen the usurping King of France�拭�

    PRINCE EDWARD。 Yes�察�my good Lord�察�and not two hours ago�察�With

good array�察�He means to bid us battle presently。 

     KING EDWARD。 He shall be welcome�察�that's the thing we crave。

intrusion�此  �First�察  �I   condemn   thee   for   a   fugitive�察  �A   thievish   pirate�察  �and   a 

needy   mate�察  �One   that   hath   either   no   abiding   place�察  �Or   else�察  �inhabiting 

some      barren    soil�察 �Where     neither    herb    or  fruitful   grain   is  had�察  �Doest 

altogether live by pilfering�此�Next�察�insomuch thou hast infringed thy faith�察�

Broke leage and solemn covenant made with me�察�I hold thee for a false 

pernicious wretch�此�And�察�last of all�察�although I scorn to cope With one so 

much   inferior   to   my   self�察  �Yet�察  �in   respect   thy   thirst   is   all   for   gold�察  �Thy 

labour rather to be feared than loved�察�To satisfy thy lust in either part�察�Here 

am I come�察�and with me have I brought Exceeding store of treasure�察�pearl�察�

entering conflict with the armed�察�Let it be seen�察�mongest other petty thefts�察�

How thou canst win this pillage manfully。 

     KING EDWARD。 If gall or wormwood have a pleasant taste�察�Then is 

thy salutation honey sweet�察�But as the one hath no such property�察�So is the 

other   most   satirical。  Yet   wot   how   I   regard   thy   worthless   taunts�此  �If   thou 

have   uttered   them   to   foil   my   fame   Or   dim   the   reputation   of   my   birth�察�

Know that thy wolvish barking cannot hurt�察�If slyly to insinuate with the 

world�察    �And    with    a  strumpet's     artificial  line   To   paint   thy   vicious    and 

deformed cause�察�Be well assured�察�the counterfeit will fade�察�And in the end 

thy foul   defects be   seen�察  �But if   thou didst  it   to provoke  me on�察�As   who 

should   say   I   were   but   timorous。   Or�察  �coldly   negligent�察  �did   need   a   spur�察�

Bethink thy self how slack I was at sea�察�How since my landing I have won
