Flew. Captain Gower, in the name of Iesu,
 Come to his Maiestie, there is more good toward you,[5575]
 Then you can dreame off.

Flew. And it shall please your Maiestie,
 Here is the the notablest peece of treason come to light,11
 As you shall desire to see in a sommers day.
 Here is a rascall, beggerly rascall, is strike the gloue,
 Which your Maiestie tooke out of the helmet of Alonson:[5580]
 And your Maiestie will beare me witnes, and testimony,[5581]15
 And auouchments, that this is the gloue.
Soul. And it please your Maiestie, that was my gloue.
 He that I gaue it too in the night,[5582]
 Promised me to weare it in his hat:
 I promised to strike him if he did.20
 I met that Gentleman, with my gloue in his hat,[5583]
 And I thinke I haue bene as good as my word.
Flew. Your Maiestie heares, vnder your Maiesties
 Manhood, what a beggerly lowsie knaue it is.
Kin. Let me see thy gloue. Looke you,25
 This is the fellow of it.
 It was I indeed you promised to strike.
 And thou thou hast giuen me most bitter words.[5584]
 How canst thou make vs amends?
Flew. Let his necke answere it,30
 If there be any marshals lawe in the worell.
Soul. My Liege, all offences come from the heart:
 Neuer came any from mine to offend your Maiestie.
 You appeard to me as a common man:[5585]
 Witnesse the night, your garments, your lowlinesse,35
 And whatsoeuer you receiued vnder that habit,
 I beseech your Maiestie impute it to your owne fault
 And not mine. For your selfe came not like your selfe:[5586]
 Had you bene as you seemed, I had made no offence.[5587]
 Therefore I beseech your grace to pardon me.40
Kin. Vnckle, fill the gloue with crownes,
 And giue it to the souldier. Weare it fellow,
 As an honour in thy cap, till I do challenge it.
 Giue him the crownes. Come Captaine Flewellen,
 I must needs haue you friends.45
Flew. By Iesus, the fellow hath mettall enough
 In his belly. Harke you souldier, there is a shilling for you,[5588]
 And keep your selfe out of brawles & brables, & dissentiōs,
 And looke you, it shall be the better for you.
Soul. Ile none of your money sir, not I.50
Flew. Why tis a good shilling man.[5588]
 Why should you be queamish? Your shoes are not so good:
 It will serue you to mend your shoes.[5589]

 And of all other, but fiue and twentie.[5595]
 O God thy arme was here,[5596]
 And vnto thee alone, ascribe we praise.75
 When without strategem,
 And in euen shock of battle, was euer heard[5597]
 So great, and litle losse, on one part and an other?
 Take it God, for it is onely thine.[5598]
Exe. Tis wonderfull.80
King. Come let vs go on procession through the camp:
 Let it be death proclaimed to any man,
 To boast hereof, or take the praise from God,
 Which is his due.
Flew. Is it lawfull, and it please your Maiestie,85
 To tell how many is kild?
King. Yes Flewellen, but with this acknowledgement,
 That God fought for vs.
Flew. Yes in my conscience, he did vs great good.

 Weele then to Calice, and to England then,
 Where nere from France, arriude more happier men.

 The other day looke you, Pistolles5
 Which you know is a man of no merites
 In the worell, is come where I was the other day,
 And brings bread and sault, and bids me
 Eate my Leeke: twas in a place, looke you,
 Where I could moue no discentions:[5600]10
 But if I can see him, I shall tell him
 A litle of my desires.
Gow. Here a comes, swelling like a Turkecocke.[5601]

Enter Pistoll.

Flew. Tis no matter for his swelling, and his turkecockes.
 God plesse you Antient Pistoll, you scall,15
 Beggerly, lowsie knaue, God plesse you.
Pist. Ha, art thou bedlem?
 Dost thou thurst base Troyan,
 To haue me folde vp Parcas fatall web?
 Hence, I am qualmish at the smell of Leeke.20
Flew. Antient Pistoll. I would desire you because
 It doth not agree with your stomacke, and your appetite,[5602]
 And your digestions, to eate this Leeke.
Pist. Not for Cadwalleder and all his goates.
Flew. There is one goate for you, ancient Pistol.25
He strikes him.
Pist. Bace Troyan, thou shalt dye.[5603]
Flew. I, I know I shall dye, meane time, I would[5604]
 Desire you to line and eate this Leeke.
Gower. Inough Captaine, you haue astonisht him.[5605]
Flew. Astonisht him, by Iesu, Ile beate his head30
 Foure dayes, and foure nights, but Ile[5606]
 Make him eate some part of my Leeke.
Pist. Well must I byte?
Flew. I out of question or doubt, or ambiguities
 You must byte.[5607]35
Pistol. Good good.
Flew. I Leekes are good, Antient Pistoll.
 There is a shilling for you to heale your bloody coxkome.[5608]
Pist. Me a shilling.
Flew. If you will not take it,40
 I haue an other Leeke for you.
Pist. I take thy shilling in earnest of reconing.
Flew. If I owe you any thing, ile pay you in cudgels,[5609]
 You shalbe a woodmonger,
 And by cudgels, God bwy you,[5610]45
 Antient Pistoll, God blesse you,[5611]
 And heale your broken pate.
 Antient Pistoll, if you see Leekes an other time,
 Mocke at them, that is all: God bwy you.
Exit Flewellen.
Pist. All hell shall stirre for this.50
 Doth Fortune play the huswye with me now?[5612]
 Is honour cudgeld from my warlike lines?[5613]
 Well France farwell, newes haue I certainly
 That Doll is sicke. One mallydie of France,
 The warres affordeth nought, home will I trug.55
 Bawd will I turne, and vse the slyte of hand:[5614]
 To England will I steale,
 And there Ile steale.
 And patches will I get vnto these skarres,
 And sweare I gat them in the Gallia warres.60

[Exit Pistoll.

[Sc. XXI.]

Enter at one doore, the King of England and his Lords. And at the other doore, the King of France, Queene Katherine, the Duke of Burbon, and others.

Harry. Peace to this meeting, wherefore we are met.
 And to our brorher France, Faire time of day.[5615]
 Faire health vnto our louely cousen Katherine.
 And as a branch, and member of this stock:
 We do salute you Duke of Burgondie.5
Fran. Brother of England, right ioyous are we to behold
 Your face, so are we Princes English euery one.
Duk. With pardon vnto both your mightines.[5616]
 Let it not displease you, if I demaund
 What rub or bar hath thus far hindred you,10
 To keepe you from the gentle speech of peace?
Har. If Duke of Burgondy, you wold haue peace,
 You must buy that peace,
 According as we haue drawne our articles.
Fran. We haue but with a cursenary eye,[5617]15
 Oreviewd them: pleaseth your Grace,
 To let some of your Counsell sit with vs,
 We shall returne our peremptory answere.
Har. Go Lords, and sit with them,
 And bring vs answere backe.20
 Yet leaue our cousen Katherine here behind.
France. Withall our hearts.

Exit King and the Lords. Manet, Hrry, Katherine, and the Gentlewoman.

Hate. Now Kate, you haue a blunt wooer here[5618][5619]
 Left with you.
 If I could win thee at leapfrog,25
 Or with vawting with my armour on my backe,
 Into my saddle,
 Without brag be it spoken,
 Ide make compare with any.
 But leauing that Kate,30
 If thou takest me now,
 Thou shalt haue me at the worst:
 And in wearing, thou shalt haue me better and better,
 Thou shalt haue a face that is not worth sun-burning.
 But doost thou thinke, that thou and I,35
 Betweene Saint Denis,
 And Saint George, shall get a boy,
 That shall goe to Constantinople,
 And take the great Turke by the beard, ha Kate?
Kate. Is it possible dat me sall40
 Loue de enemie de France.
Harry. No Kate, tis vnpossible
 You should loue the enemie of France:[5620]
 For Kate, I loue France so well,
 That Ile not leaue a Village,45
 Ile haue it all mine: then Kate,
 When France is mine,
 And I am yours,
 Then France is yours,
 And you are mine.50
Kate. I cannot tell what is dat.
Harry. No Kate,
 Why Ile tell it you in French,[5621]
 Which will hang vpon my tongue, like a bride
 On her new married Husband.55
 Let me see, Saint Dennis be my speed.
 Quan France et mon.
Kate. Dat is, when France is yours.
Harry. Et vous ettes amoy.
Kate. And I am to you.60
Harry. Douck France ettes a vous:
Kate. Den France sall be mine.
Harry. Et Ie suyues a vous.
Kate. And you will be to me.
Har. Wilt beleeue me Kate? tis easier for me65
 To conquer the kingdome, thē to speak so much
 More French.
Kate. A your Maiesty has false France inough
 To deceiue de best Lady in France.
Harry. No faith Kate not I. But Kate,[5622]70
 In plaine termes, do you loue me?[5623]
Kate. I cannot tell.
Harry. No, can any of your neighbours tell?
 Ile aske them.
 Come Kate, I know you loue me.75
 And soone when you are in your closset,
 Youle question this Lady of me.
 But I pray thee sweete Kate, vse me mercifully,
 Because I loue thee cruelly.
 That I shall dye Kate, is sure:80
 But for thy loue, by the Lord neuer.
 What Wench,
 A straightbacke will growe crooked,
 A round eye will growe hollowe,
 A great leg will waxe small,85
 A curld pate proue balde:
 But a good heart Kate, is the sun and the moone,
 And rather the Sun and not the Moone:
 And therefore Kate take me,
 Take a souldier: take a souldier,90
 Take a King.
 Therefore tell me Kate, wilt thou haue me?
Kate. Dat is as please the King my father.
Harry. Nay it will please him:[5624]
 Nay it shall please him Kate.95
 And vpon that condition Kate Ile kisse you.
Ka. O mon du Ie ne voudroy faire quelke chosse[5625]
 Pour toute le monde,
 Ce ne poynt votree fachion en fouor.
Harry. What saies she Lady?[5626]100
Lady. Dat it is not de fasion en France,
 For de maides, before da be married to[5627]
 May foy ie oblye, what is to bassie?
Har. To kis, to kis. O that tis not the
 Fashion in Frannce for the maydes to kis105
 Before they are married.
Lady. Owye see votree grace.
Har. Well, weele breake that custome.
 Therefore Kate patience perforce and yeeld.
 Before God Kate, you haue witchcraft110
 In your kisses:
 And may perswade with me more,
 Then all the French Councell.
 Your father is returned.

Enter the King of France, and the Lordes.

How now my Lords?115
Fran. Brother of England,
 We haue orered the Articles,[5628]
 And haue agreed to all that we in sedule had.
Exe. Only he hath not subscribed this,
 Where your maiestie demaunds,120
 That the king of France hauing any occasion
 To write for matter of graunt,
 Shall name your highnesse, in this forme:
 And with this addition in French.
 Nostre tresher fils, Henry Roy D'anglaterre,125
 E heare de France. And thus in Latin:
 Preclarissimus filius noster Henricus Rex Anglie,
 Et heres Francie.
Fran. Nor this haue we so nicely stood vpon,
 But you faire brother may intreat the same.130
Har. Why then let this among the rest,
 Haue his full course: And withall,
 Your daughter Katherine in mariage.
Fran. This and what else,
 Your maiestie shall craue:135
 God that disposeth all, giue you much ioy.
Har. Why then faire Katherine,
 Come giue me thy hand:
 Our manage will we present solemnise,
 And end our hatred by a bond of loue.140
 Then will I sweare to Kate, and Kate to mee:
 And may our vowes once made, vnbroken bee.
