P. Hen. The noble Scot, Lord Douglas, when

he saw

The fortune of the day quite turned from him,
The noble Percy slain, and all his men

Upon the foot of fear, fled with the rest;

And falling from a hill he was so bruised,
That the pursuers took him. At my tent
The Douglas is, and I beseech your grace
I may dispose of him.

K. Hen.

With all my heart.

P. Hen. Then, brother John of Lancaster, to you This honourable bounty shall belong.

Go to the Douglas, and deliver him

Up to his pleasure, ransomless, and free:
His valour shown upon our crests to-day

Hath taught us how to cherish such high deeds
Even in the bosom of our adversaries.

P. John. I thank your grace for this high courtesy,

Which I shall give away immediately.

K. Hen. Then this remains,-that we divide

our power.―

You, son John, and my cousin Westmoreland,

Towards York shall bend you with your

speed,

dearest

To meet Northumberland and the prelate Scroop,

Who, as we hear, are busily in arms:

Myself, and you, son Harry, will towards

Wales,

To fight with Glendower and the Earl of March.
Rebellion in this land shall lose his sway,
Meeting the check of such another day :
And since this business so fair is done,

Let us not leave till all our own be won.

[Exeunt.

With hue and crie after your man,

And has set vpon, and hath robd a poore Carrier.

But the best is, we are a horse backe and they be a foote,
So we may escape them.

So belamd me about the shoulders,

But as I am true Gentleman, I wil haue the halfe
Of this spent to night, but sirs take vp your bags,
Here comes the Receiuers, let me alone.

Enters two Recevuers.

Then I hope ye haue brought me some money.

One. Money, Alas sir wee be robd.

Hen. V. Robd, how many were there of them?

One. Marry sir, there were foure of them:

And one of them had sir Iohn Old-Castles bay Hobbie,
And your blacke Nag.

Blood you vilaines : my father robd of his money abroad
And we robd in our stables.

And tell me, how many were there of them?

One Recei. If it please you, there were foure of them,

And there was one about the bignesse of you:

But I am sure I so belambd him about the shoulders,
That he wil féele it this month.

So that they haue carried away your money.

But come sirs, what shall we do with the vilaines?
Both Recei. I beseech your grace, be good to vs.
