Therefore; Lord Constable; haste on Montjoy; And let him say to England 

that we send To know what willing ransom he will give。 Prince Dauphin; 

you   shall stay  with   us   in   Rouen。  DAUPHIN。   Not   so;  I   do   beseech   your 

Majesty。 FRENCH KING。 Be patient; for you shall remain with us。 Now 

forth;   Lord    Constable     and  Princes    all;  And   quickly   bring    us  word    of 

England's fall。 Exeunt

                                 KING HENRY THE FIFTH 



              SCENE VI。 The English camp in Picardy 



     Enter CAPTAINS; English and Welsh; GOWER and FLUELLEN 

       GOWER。   How  now;  Captain   Fluellen!   Come   you   from  the   bridge? 

FLUELLEN。 I assure you there is very excellent services committed at the 

bridge。 GOWER。 Is the Duke of Exeter safe? FLUELLEN。 The Duke of 

Exeter   is   as   magnanimous   as   Agamemnon;   and   a   man   that   I   love   and 

honour   with   my   soul;  and   my  heart;   and   my  duty;   and   my   live;  and   my 

living; and my uttermost power。 He is not… God be praised and blessed!… 

any hurt in the world; but keeps the bridge most valiantly; with excellent 

discipline。 There is an aunchient Lieutenant there at the bridge… I think in 

my very conscience he is as valiant a man as Mark Antony; and he is man 

of   no   estimation   in   the   world;   but   I   did   see   him   do   as   gallant   service。 

GOWER。   What   do   you   call   him?   FLUELLEN。   He   is   call'd   Aunchient 

Pistol。 GOWER。 I know him not。 Enter PISTOL 

       FLUELLEN。 Here is the man。 PISTOL。 Captain; I thee beseech to do 

me favours。 The Duke of Exeter doth love thee well。 FLUELLEN。 Ay; I 

praise God; and I have merited some love at his hands。 PISTOL。 Bardolph; 

a soldier; firm and sound of heart; And of buxom valour; hath by cruel fate 

And giddy Fortune's furious fickle wheel; That goddess blind; That stands 

upon the rolling restless stone… FLUELLEN。 By your patience; Aunchient 

Pistol。 Fortune is painted blind; with a muffler afore her eyes; to signify to 

you that Fortune is blind; and she is painted also with a wheel; to signify 

to you;  which   is the  moral   of   it; that   she  is turning;  and   inconstant;  and 

mutability; and variation; and her foot; look you; is fixed upon a spherical 

stone;   which   rolls;   and   rolls;   and   rolls。   In   good   truth;   the   poet   makes   a 

most   excellent   description of   it:   Fortune   is   an   excellent   moral。   PISTOL。 

Fortune is Bardolph's foe; and frowns on him; For he hath stol'n a pax; and 

hanged must 'a be… A damned death! Let gallows gape for dog; let man go 

free; And let not hemp his windpipe suffocate。 But Exeter hath given the 

doom of death For pax of little price。 Therefore; go speak… the Duke will 

hear   thy   voice; And   let   not   Bardolph's   vital   thread   be   cut   With   edge   of 

penny cord and vile reproach。 Speak; Captain; for his life; and I will thee 

requite。    FLUELLEN。         Aunchient      Pistol;   I  do   partly   understand     your 



                                             39

meaning。   PISTOL。   Why   then;   rejoice   therefore。   FLUELLEN。   Certainly; 

Aunchient;   it   is   not   a   thing   to   rejoice   at;   for   if;   look   you;   he   were   my 

brother; I would desire the Duke to use his good pleasure; and put him to 

execution; for discipline ought to be used。 PISTOL。 Die and be damn'd! 

and figo for thy friendship! FLUELLEN。 It is well。 PISTOL。 The fig   of 

Spain! Exit 

       FLUELLEN。 Very good。 GOWER。 Why; this is an arrant counterfeit 

rascal; I remember him now… a bawd; a cutpurse。 FLUELLEN。 I'll assure 

you; 'a utt'red as prave words at the pridge as you shall see in a summer's 

day。 But it is very well; what he has spoke to me; that is well; I warrant 

you; when time is serve。 GOWER。 Why; 'tis a gull a fool a rogue; that now 

and   then   goes   to   the   wars   to   grace   himself;   at   his   return   into   London; 

under   the   form   of   a   soldier。   And   such   fellows   are   perfect   in   the   great 

commanders' names; and they will learn you by rote where services were 

done… at such and such a sconce; at such a breach; at such a convoy; who 

came   off   bravely;   who   was   shot;   who   disgrac'd;   what   terms   the   enemy 

stood on; and this they con perfectly in the phrase of war; which they trick 

up   with   new…tuned   oaths;   and   what   a   beard   of   the   General's   cut   and   a 

horrid suit of the camp will do among foaming bottles and ale…wash'd wits 

is wonderful to be thought on。 But you must learn to know such slanders 

of the age; or else you may be marvellously mistook。 FLUELLEN。 I tell 

you what; Captain Gower; I do perceive he is not the man that he would 

gladly make show to the world he is; if I find a hole in his coat I will tell 

him my mind。 'Drum within' Hark you; the King is coming; and I must 

speak with him from the pridge。 

       Drum     and   colours。    Enter   the  KING      and   his  poor   soldiers;   and 

GLOUCESTER 

       God pless your Majesty! KING HENRY。 How now; Fluellen! Cam'st 

thou from the bridge? FLUELLEN。 Ay; so please your Majesty。 The Duke 

of Exeter has very gallantly maintain'd the pridge; the French is gone off; 

look    you;   and    there  is  gallant   and    most   prave    passages。    Marry;    th' 

athversary was have possession of the pridge; but he is enforced to retire; 

and the Duke of Exeter is master of the pridge; I can tell your Majesty the 

Duke is a prave man。 KING HENRY。 What men have you lost; Fluellen!

FLUELLEN。           The    perdition    of   th'  athversary     hath   been    very    great; 

reasonable great;   marry;   for   my  part;   I   think   the  Duke   hath   lost   never   a 

man;     but   one   that  is  like  to   be  executed     for   robbing    a  church…    one 

Bardolph;   if   your   Majesty   know   the   man;   his   face   is   all   bubukles;   and 

whelks; and knobs; and flames o' fire; and his lips blows at his nose; and it 

is like a coal of fire; sometimes plue and sometimes red; but his nose is 

executed      and   his  fire's  out。   KING     HENRY。       We   would     have   all  such 

offenders   so   cut   off。   And   we   give   express   charge   that   in   our   marches 

through the country there be nothing compell'd from the villages; nothing 

taken but paid for; none of the French upbraided or abused in disdainful 

language;   for   when   lenity   and   cruelty   play   for   a   kingdom   the   gentler 

gamester is the soonest winner。 

       Tucket。 Enter MONTJOY 

       MONTJOY。 You know me by my habit。 KING HENRY。 Well then; I 

know   thee;   what   shall   I   know   of   thee?   MONTJOY。   My   master's   mind。 

KING   HENRY。   Unfold   it。   MONTJOY。  Thus   says   my   king。   Say   thou   to 

Harry of England: Though we seem'd dead we did but sleep; advantage is 

a   better   soldier   than   rashness。   Tell   him   we   could   have   rebuk'd   him   at 

Harfleur; but 

       that we thought not good to bruise an injury till it were full ripe。 Now 

we speak upon our cue; and our voice is imperial: England shall repent his 

folly;   see   his   weakness;   and   admire   our   sufferance。   Bid   him   therefore 

consider of his ransom; which must proportion the losses we have borne; 

the subjects we have lost; the disgrace we have digested; which; in weight 

to re…answer; his pettiness would bow under。 For our losses his exchequer 

is too poor; for th' effusion of our blood; the muster of his kingdom too 

faint a number; and for our disgrace; his own person kneeling at our feet 

but a weak and worthless satisfaction。 To this add defiance; and tell him; 

for   conclusion;   he   hath   betrayed   his   followers;   whose   condemnation   is 

pronounc'd。       So   far  my    king   and   master;    so   much    my    office。   KING 

HENRY。   What   is   thy   name?   I   know   thy   quality。   MONTJOY。   Montjoy。 

KING HENRY。 Thou dost thy office fairly。 Turn thee back; And tell thy 

king I do not seek him now; But could be willing to march on to Calais 

Without   impeachment;   for;   to   say   the   sooth…   Though   'tis   no   wisdom   to

confess so much Unto an enemy of craft and vantage… My people are with 

sickness   much   enfeebled;   My   numbers   lessen'd;   and   those   few   I   have 

Almost no better than so many French; Who when they were in health; I 

tell thee; herald; I thought upon one pair of English legs Did march three 

Frenchmen。   Yet   forgive   me;   God;   That   I   do   brag   thus;   this   your   air   of 

France Hath blown that vice in me; I must repent。 Go; therefore; tell thy 

master here I am; My ransom is this frail and worthless trunk; My army 

but a weak and sickly guard; Yet; God before; tell him we will come on; 

Though   France   himself   and   such   another   neighbour   Stand   in   our   way。 

There's for thy labour; Montjoy。 Go; bid thy master well advise himself。 If 

we may pass; we will; if we be hind'red; We shall your tawny ground with 

your red blood Discolour; and so; Montjoy; fare you well。 The sum of all 

our answer is but this: We would not seek a battle as we are; Nor as we are; 

we say; we will not shun it。 So tell your master。 MONTJOY。 I shall deliver 

so。 Thanks to your   Highness。 Exit GLOUCESTER。 I   hope they will   not 

come upon us now。 KING HENRY。 We are in God's hand; brother; not in 

theirs。 March to the bridge; it now draws to
