<blockquote>
<A NAME=1>'But for mine own part, my lord, I could be well</A><br>
<A NAME=2>contented to be there, in respect of the love I bear</A><br>
<A NAME=3>your house.' He could be contented: why is he not,</A><br>
<A NAME=4>then? In respect of the love he bears our house:</A><br>
<A NAME=5>he shows in this, he loves his own barn better than</A><br>
<A NAME=6>he loves our house. Let me see some more. 'The</A><br>
<A NAME=7>purpose you undertake is dangerous;'--why, that's</A><br>
<A NAME=8>certain: 'tis dangerous to take a cold, to sleep, to</A><br>
<A NAME=9>drink; but I tell you, my lord fool, out of this</A><br>
<A NAME=10>nettle, danger, we pluck this flower, safety. 'The</A><br>
<A NAME=11>purpose you undertake is dangerous; the friends you</A><br>
<A NAME=12>have named uncertain; the time itself unsorted; and</A><br>
<A NAME=13>your whole plot too light for the counterpoise of so</A><br>
<A NAME=14>great an opposition.' Say you so, say you so? I say</A><br>
<A NAME=15>unto you again, you are a shallow cowardly hind, and</A><br>
<A NAME=16>you lie.  What a lack-brain is this! By the Lord,</A><br>
<A NAME=17>our plot is a good plot as ever was laid; our</A><br>
<A NAME=18>friends true and constant: a good plot, good</A><br>
<A NAME=19>friends, and full of expectation; an excellent plot,</A><br>
<A NAME=20>very good friends. What a frosty-spirited rogue is</A><br>
<A NAME=21>this! Why, my lord of York commends the plot and the</A><br>
<A NAME=22>general course of action. 'Zounds, an I were now by</A><br>
<A NAME=23>this rascal, I could brain him with his lady's fan.</A><br>
<A NAME=24>Is there not my father, my uncle and myself? lord</A><br>
<A NAME=25>Edmund Mortimer, My lord of York and Owen Glendower?</A><br>
<A NAME=26>is there not besides the Douglas? have I not all</A><br>
<A NAME=27>their letters to meet me in arms by the ninth of the</A><br>
<A NAME=28>next month? and are they not some of them set</A><br>
<A NAME=29>forward already? What a pagan rascal is this! an</A><br>
<A NAME=30>infidel! Ha! you shall see now in very sincerity</A><br>
<A NAME=31>of fear and cold heart, will he to the king and lay</A><br>
<A NAME=32>open all our proceedings. O, I could divide myself</A><br>
<A NAME=33>and go to buffets, for moving such a dish of</A><br>
<A NAME=34>skim milk with so honourable an action! Hang him!</A><br>
<A NAME=35>let him tell the king: we are prepared. I will set</A><br>
<A NAME=36>forward to-night.</A><br>

<A NAME=37>How now, Kate! I must leave you within these two hours.</A><br>

<A NAME=38>O, my good lord, why are you thus alone?</A><br>
<A NAME=39>For what offence have I this fortnight been</A><br>
<A NAME=40>A banish'd woman from my Harry's bed?</A><br>
<A NAME=41>Tell me, sweet lord, what is't that takes from thee</A><br>
<A NAME=42>Thy stomach, pleasure and thy golden sleep?</A><br>
<A NAME=43>Why dost thou bend thine eyes upon the earth,</A><br>
<A NAME=44>And start so often when thou sit'st alone?</A><br>
<A NAME=45>Why hast thou lost the fresh blood in thy cheeks;</A><br>
<A NAME=46>And given my treasures and my rights of thee</A><br>
<A NAME=47>To thick-eyed musing and cursed melancholy?</A><br>
<A NAME=48>In thy faint slumbers I by thee have watch'd,</A><br>
<A NAME=49>And heard thee murmur tales of iron wars;</A><br>
<A NAME=50>Speak terms of manage to thy bounding steed;</A><br>
<A NAME=51>Cry 'Courage! to the field!' And thou hast talk'd</A><br>
<A NAME=52>Of sallies and retires, of trenches, tents,</A><br>
<A NAME=53>Of palisadoes, frontiers, parapets,</A><br>
<A NAME=54>Of basilisks, of cannon, culverin,</A><br>
<A NAME=55>Of prisoners' ransom and of soldiers slain,</A><br>
<A NAME=56>And all the currents of a heady fight.</A><br>
<A NAME=57>Thy spirit within thee hath been so at war</A><br>
<A NAME=58>And thus hath so bestirr'd thee in thy sleep,</A><br>
<A NAME=59>That beads of sweat have stood upon thy brow</A><br>
<A NAME=60>Like bubbles in a late-disturbed stream;</A><br>
<A NAME=61>And in thy face strange motions have appear'd,</A><br>
<A NAME=62>Such as we see when men restrain their breath</A><br>
<A NAME=63>On some great sudden hest. O, what portents are these?</A><br>
<A NAME=64>Some heavy business hath my lord in hand,</A><br>
<A NAME=65>And I must know it, else he loves me not.</A><br>

<blockquote>
<A NAME=80>Out, you mad-headed ape!</A><br>
<A NAME=81>A weasel hath not such a deal of spleen</A><br>
<A NAME=82>As you are toss'd with. In faith,</A><br>
<A NAME=83>I'll know your business, Harry, that I will.</A><br>
<A NAME=84>I fear my brother Mortimer doth stir</A><br>
<A NAME=85>About his title, and hath sent for you</A><br>

<A NAME=88>Come, come, you paraquito, answer me</A><br>
<A NAME=89>Directly unto this question that I ask:</A><br>

<A NAME=92>Away,</A><br>
<A NAME=93>Away, you trifler! Love! I love thee not,</A><br>
<A NAME=94>I care not for thee, Kate: this is no world</A><br>
<A NAME=95>To play with mammets and to tilt with lips:</A><br>
<A NAME=96>We must have bloody noses and crack'd crowns,</A><br>
<A NAME=97>And pass them current too. God's me, my horse!</A><br>
<A NAME=98>What say'st thou, Kate? what would'st thou</A><br>

<A NAME=110>This evening must I leave you, gentle Kate.</A><br>
<A NAME=111>I know you wise, but yet no farther wise</A><br>
