     'After a flourish; sounded within; enter an herald。' 

     HERALD。 Rejoice; my Lord; ascend the imperial throne! The mighty 

and redoubted prince of Wales; Great servitor to bloody Mars in arms; The 



                                              73

French     man's   terror;   and  his  country's   fame;    Triumphant   rideth     like   a 

Roman peer; And; lowly at his stirrup; comes afoot King John of France; 

together with his son; In captive bonds; whose diadem he brings To crown 

thee with; and to proclaim thee king。 

     KING   EDWARD。   Away   with   mourning;   Phillip;   wipe   thine   eyes; 

Sound; Trumpets; welcome in Plantagenet! 

     'Enter Prince Edward; king John; Phillip; Audley; Artois。' 

     As things long lost; when they are found again; So doth my son rejoice 

his father's heart; For whom even now my soul was much perplexed。 

     QUEEN PHILLIP。 Be this a token to express my joy; 

     'Kisses him。' 

     For inward passion will not let me speak。 

     PRINCE EDWARD。 My gracious father; here receive the gift。 

     'Presenting him with King John's crown。' 

     This wreath of conquest and reward of war; Got with as mickle peril of 

our lives; As ere was thing of price before this day; Install your highness 

in   your   proper    right:  And;   herewithall;    I  render   to  your   hands    These 

prisoners; chief occasion of our strife。 

     KING EDWARD。 So; John of France; I see you keep your word: You 

promised to be sooner with our self Than we did think for; and tis so in 

deed: But; had you done at first as now you do; How many civil towns had 

stood   untouched;   That   now   are   turned   to   ragged   heaps   of   stones!   How 

many people's lives mightst thou have saved; That are untimely sunk into 

their graves! 

     KING   JOHN。   Edward;   recount   not   things   irrevocable;   Tell   me   what 

ransom thou requirest to have。 

     KING   EDWARD。   Thy   ransom;   John;   hereafter   shall   be   known:   But 

first   to   England   thou   must   cross   the   seas;   To   see   what   entertainment   it 

affords; How ere it falls; it cannot be so bad; As ours hath been since we 

arrived in France。 

     KING JOHN。 Accursed man! of this I was foretold; But did misconster 

what the prophet told。 

     PRINCE EDWARD。 Now; father; this petition Edward makes To thee; 

whose grace hath been his strongest shield; That; as thy pleasure chose me 



                                            74

for the man To be the instrument to shew thy power; So thou wilt grant 

that many princes more; Bred and brought up within that little Isle; May 

still be famous for like victories! And; for my part; the bloody scars I bear; 

And weary nights that I have watched in field; The dangerous conflicts I 

have often had; The fearful menaces were proffered me; The heat and cold 

and what else might displease: I wish were now redoubled twenty fold; So 

that hereafter ages; when they read The painful traffic of my tender youth; 

Might   thereby   be   inflamed   with   such   resolve;   As   not   the   territories   of 

France   alone;   But   likewise   Spain;   Turkey;   and   what   countries   else   That 

justly would provoke fair England's ire; Might; at their presence; tremble 

and retire。 

     KING   EDWARD。   Here;   English   Lords;   we   do   proclaim   a   rest;   An 

intercession   of   our   painful   arms:   Sheath   up   your   swords;   refresh   your 

weary limbs; Peruse your spoils; and; after we have breathed A day or two 

within this haven town; God willing;  then for England we'll be   shipped; 

Where; in a happy hour; I trust; we shall Arrive; three kings; two princes; 

and a queen。 

     FINIS。
