We three here art that ne'er shall meet again. |
BUSHY: |
That's as York thrives to beat back Bolingbroke. |
GREEN: |
Alas, poor duke! the task he undertakes |
Is numbering sands and drinking oceans dry: |
Where one on his side fights, thousands will fly. |
Farewell at once, for once, for all, and ever. |
BUSHY: |
Well, we may meet again. |
BAGOT: |
I fear me, never. |
HENRY BOLINGBROKE: |
How far is it, my lord, to Berkeley now? |
NORTHUMBERLAND: |
Believe me, noble lord, |
I am a stranger here in Gloucestershire: |
These high wild hills and rough uneven ways |
Draws out our miles, and makes them wearisome, |
And yet your fair discourse hath been as sugar, |
Making the hard way sweet and delectable. |
But I bethink me what a weary way |
From Ravenspurgh to Cotswold will be found |
In Ross and Willoughby, wanting your company, |
Which, I protest, hath very much beguiled |
The tediousness and process of my travel: |
But theirs is sweetened with the hope to have |
The present benefit which I possess; |
And hope to joy is little less in joy |
Than hope enjoy'd: by this the weary lords |
Shall make their way seem short, as mine hath done |
By sight of what I have, your noble company. |
HENRY BOLINGBROKE: |
Of much less value is my company |
Than your good words. But who comes here? |
NORTHUMBERLAND: |
It is my son, young Harry Percy, |
Sent from my brother Worcester, whencesoever. |
Harry, how fares your uncle? |
HENRY PERCY: |
I had thought, my lord, to have learn'd his health of you. |
NORTHUMBERLAND: |
Why, is he not with the queen? |
HENRY PERCY: |
No, my good Lord; he hath forsook the court, |
Broken his staff of office and dispersed |
The household of the king. |
NORTHUMBERLAND: |
What was his reason? |
He was not so resolved when last we spake together. |
HENRY PERCY: |
Because your lordship was proclaimed traitor. |
But he, my lord, is gone to Ravenspurgh, |
To offer service to the Duke of Hereford, |
And sent me over by Berkeley, to discover |
What power the Duke of York had levied there; |
Then with directions to repair to Ravenspurgh. |
NORTHUMBERLAND: |
Have you forgot the Duke of Hereford, boy? |
HENRY PERCY: |
No, my good lord, for that is not forgot |
Which ne'er I did remember: to my knowledge, |
I never in my life did look on him. |
NORTHUMBERLAND: |
Then learn to know him now; this is the duke. |
HENRY PERCY: |
My gracious lord, I tender you my service, |
Such as it is, being tender, raw and young: |
Which elder days shall ripen and confirm |
To more approved service and desert. |
HENRY BOLINGBROKE: |
I thank thee, gentle Percy; and be sure |
I count myself in nothing else so happy |
As in a soul remembering my good friends; |
And, as my fortune ripens with thy love, |
It shall be still thy true love's recompense: |
My heart this covenant makes, my hand thus seals it. |
NORTHUMBERLAND: |
How far is it to Berkeley? and what stir |
Keeps good old York there with his men of war? |
