Glou. O, good my lord, you have lost a friend indeed; And I dare swear you borrow not that face Of seeming sorrow, it is sure your own. Lan. Though no man be assured what grace to find, You stand in coldest expectation: I am the sorrier; would 'twere otherwise. Clar. Well, you must now speak Sir John Falstaff fair; Which swims against your stream of quality. Ch. Just. Sweet princes, what I did, I did in honour, Led by the impartial conduct of my soul; Enter KING HENRY the Fifth, attended. Ch. Just. Good morrow; and God save your majesty ! King. This new and gorgeous garment, majesty, Sits not so easy on me as you think. Brothers, you mix your sadness with some fear: 38. A ragged and forestall'd remission, a pardon asked for before it could have been spontaneously granted, and thus granted with contempt as to a beggar. It is preferable to 30 40 understand 'forestall'd' thus of an anticipating appeal, rather than of prejudice in the king's mind which would ensure the request being 'refused before it was made.' Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds, But Harry Harry. Yet be sad, good brothers, That I will deeply put the fashion on Princes. We hope no other from your majesty. You are, I think, assured I love you not. Ch. Just. I am assured, if I be measured Your majesty hath no just cause to hate me. How might a prince of my great hopes forget What! rate, rebuke, and roughly send to prison Ch. Just. I then did use the person of your father; The image of his power lay then in me: 48. Not Amurath, etc. The Sultan Amurath III., who died in 1595, had strangled his brothers on his accession (1574); and his successor Mahomet III. followed the same Turkish 50 60 70 custom. The latter event was, of course, quite recent when the play was written. 61. By number, i.e. tear for tear. 71. easy, a slight matter. Whiles I was busy for the commonwealth, If the deed were ill, And did commit you. Be now the father and propose a son, King. You are right, justice, and you weigh this well; Therefore still bear the balance and the sword: 84. the garland, i.e. the crown. 92. propose, put forward in imagination, suppose. 80 مو 100 99. in your state, in your kingly capacity. So shall I live to speak my father's words: You did commit me : The unstained sword that you have used to bear; As you have done 'gainst me. There is my hand. You shall be as a father to my youth: My voice shall sound as you do prompt mine ear, To your well-practised wise directions. And, princes all, believe me, I beseech you; 109. proper, own. 115. remembrance, injunction. 123. My father is gone wild into his grave; i.e. my wildness is buried with him (cf. Hen. V. i. 1. 25-27). 124. my affections, my wild inclinations. 125. with his spirit sadly I survive, his serious spirit alone survives in me. 128. Rotten opinion, false reputation. 132. the state of floods, the majesty of the ocean. 133. formal, grave, dignified. That the great body of our state may go In which you, father, shall have foremost hand. As I before remember'd, all our state: And, God consigning to my good intents, [Exeunt. 140 SCENE III. Gloucestershire. SHALLOW'S Enter FALSTAFF, SHALLOW, SILENCE, DAVY, Shal. Nay, you shall see my orchard, where, in an arbour, we will eat a last year's pippin of my own graffing, with a dish of caraways, and so forth come, cousin Silence: and then to bed. Fal. 'Fore God, you have here a goodly dwelling and a rich. Shal. Barren, barren, barren; beggars all, beggars all, Sir John: marry, good air. Spread, Davy; spread, Davy: well said, Davy. Fal. This Davy serves you for good uses; he is your serving-man and your husband. 141. accite, summon. 143. consigning to, consenting to, confirming. 3. caraways, a kind of sweetmeat in which caraway seeds 10 formed one ingredient, then commonly eaten with apples at dessert. 12. husband, husbandman. The two later Ff substitute this form. |
