第22章 ACT V(4)(3 / 3)

Now,now,you stars that move in your right spheres,Where be your powers?show now your mended faiths,And instantly return with me again,To push destruction and perpetual shame Out of the weak door of our fainting land.

Straight let us seek,or straight we shall be sought;The Dauphin rages at our very heels.SALISBURY It seems you know not,then,so much as we:

The Cardinal Pandulph is within at rest,Who half an hour since came from the Dauphin,And brings from him such offers of our peace As we with honour and respect may take,With purpose presently to leave this war.BASTARD He will the rather do it when he sees Ourselves well sinewed to our defence.SALISBURY Nay,it is in a manner done already;For many carriages he hath dispatch'd To the sea-side,and put his cause and quarrel To the disposing of the cardinal:

With whom yourself,myself and other lords,If you think meet,this afternoon will post To consummate this business happily.BASTARD Let it be so:and you,my noble prince,With other princes that may best be spared,Shall wait upon your father's funeral.PRINCE HENRY At Worcester must his body be interr'd;For so he will'd it.BASTARD Thither shall it then:

And happily may your sweet self put on The lineal state and glory of the land!

To whom with all submission,on my knee I do bequeath my faithful services And true subjection everlastingly.SALISBURY And the like tender of our love we make,To rest without a spot for evermore.PRINCE HENRY I have a kind soul that would give you thanks And knows not how to do it but with tears.BASTARD O,let us pay the time but needful woe,Since it hath been beforehand with our griefs.

This England never did,nor never shall,Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror,But when it first did help to wound itself.

Now these her princes are come home again,Come the three corners of the world in arms,And we shall shock them.Nought shall make us rue,If England to itself do rest but true.
