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
west�察�Shall carry hence the fluerdeluce of France�此�These�察�I can tell ye�察�and
such like surmises Strike many French men cold unto the heart。
��Enter a French man。�А�
FOUR。 Fly�察 �country men and citizens of France� �Sweet flowering
peace�察�the root of happy life�察�Is quite abandoned and expulst the land�察�In
stead of whom ransacked constraining war Sits like to Ravens upon your
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
self beheld Upon this fair mountain whence I came。 For so far of as I
directed mine eyes�察�I might perceive five Cities all on fire�察�Corn fields and
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
dreadful ministers of wrath Do tread the measures of their tragic march�此�
Upon the right hand comes the conquering King�察 �Upon the left his hot
unbridled son�察 �And in the midst our nation's glittering host�察 �All which�察�
though distant yet�察�conspire in one��To leave a desolation where they come。
Fly therefore�察�Citizens�察�if you be wise�察�Seek out some habitation further
off�此 �Here is you stay�察 �your wives will be abused�察 �Your treasure shared
before your weeping eyes�察�Shelter you your selves�察�for now the storm doth
rise。 Away�察�away�察�me thinks I hear their drums�此�Ah�察�wretched France�察�I
greatly fear thy fall�察�Thy glory shaketh like a tottering wall。
��Exeunt。�А�

SCENE III。 The same。 Drums。
��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
of their strongest Cities we have won�察 �As Harflew�察 �Lo�察 �Crotay�察 �and
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

full a hundred thousand fighting men Upon the one side of the river's
bank And on the other both�察 �his multitudes。 I feared he would have
cropped our smaller power�此 �But happily�察 �perceiving your approach�察 �He
hath with drawn himself to Cressey plains�察�Where�察 �as it seemeth by his
good array�察�He means to bid us battle presently。
KING EDWARD。 He shall be welcome�察�that's the thing we crave。
��Enter King John�察�Dukes of Normandy and Lorrain�察�King of Boheme�察�
young Phillip�察�and Soldiers。�А�
KING JOHN。 Edward�察 �know that John�察 �the true king of France�察�
Musing thou shouldst encroach upon his land�察 �And in thy tyranous
proceeding slay His faithful subjects and subvert his Towns�察�Spits in thy
face�察 �and in this manner following Obraids thee with thine arrogant
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�
and coin。 Leave�察 �therefore�察 �now to persecute the weak�察 �And armed
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

no towns�察�Entered no further but upon the coast�察�And there have ever since
securely slept。 But if I have been other wise employed�察�Imagine�察�Valois�察�
whether I intend To skirmish�察 �not for pillage�察 �but for the Crown Which
thou dost wear�察 �and that I vow to have�察 �Or one of us shall fall into his
grave。
PRINCE EDWARD。 Look not for cross invectives at our hands�察 �Or
railing execrations of despite�此�Let creeping serpents�察�hid in hollow banks�察�
Sting with their tongues�察 �we have remorseless swords�察 �And they shall
plead for us and our affairs。 Yet thus much�察�briefly�察�by my father's leave�此�
As all the immodest poison of thy throat Is scandalous and most notorious
lies�察�And our pretended quarrel is truly just�察 �So end the battle when we
meet to day�此 �May either of us prosper and prevail�察 �Or�察 �luckless�察 �curst�察�
receive eternal shame� �
KING EDWARD。 That needs no further question�察 �and I know�察 �His
conscience witnesseth�察�it is my right。 Therefore�察�Valois�察�say�察�wilt thou yet
resign�察�Before the sickles thrust into the Corn�察�Or that inkindled fury turn
to flame�拭�
KING JOHN。 Edward�察�I know what right thou hast in France�察�And ere
I basely will resign my Crown�察 �This Champion field shall be a pool of
blood�察�And all our prospect as a slaughter house。
PRINCE EDWARD。 Aye�察�that approves thee�察�tyrant�察�what thou art�此�No
father�察�king�察�or shepherd of thy realm�察�But one�察�that tears her entrails with
thy hands�察�And�察�like a thirsty tyger�察�suckst her blood。
AUDLEY。 You peers of France�察 �why do you follow him That is so
prodigal to spend your lives�拭�
CHARLES。 Whom should they follow�察�aged impotent�察�But he that is
their true borne sovereign�拭�
KING EDWARD。 Obraidst thou him�察 �because within his face Time
hath ingraved deep characters of age�拭 �Know�察 �these grave scholars of
experience�察 �Like stiff grown oaks�察 �will stand immovable�察 �When whirl
wind quickly turns up younger trees。

this present time�拭 �Edward's great linage�察 �by the mother's side�察 �Five
hundred years hath h
