[ HENRY V ] by Shakespeare Network

last year

Henry the V by William Shakespeare (Film 1944)- Laurence Olivier's second Shakespeare film (following his role in Paul Czinner's 1937 As You Like It) pushed adaptation of the Bard onto an entirely new plane. Fascinating not just for its approach to the text but also for its portrait of multiple facets of the British character, calibrated for explicitly propagandist purposes in the Second World War to be a call to arms as such formed a powerful reminder of what Britain was defending.

00:04:30Oh

00:04:51For a muse of fire

00:04:54That would ascend the brightest heaven of invention a

00:04:59Kingdom for a stage princes to act and monarchs to behold a swelling scene

00:05:05Then should the warlike Harry like himself assume the port of Mars and in his heels leashed in like hounds

00:05:12What famine sword and fire crouched for employment?

00:05:17But pardon gentles all the flat unraised spirits that have dared on this unworthy scaffold

00:05:24to bring forth so great an object

00:05:27Can this cockpit hold the vastly fields of France or maybe cram within this?

00:05:33Wooden. Oh the very casks that it a fright the air at Agincourt

00:05:38On

00:05:44Your imaginary forces work

00:05:47Suppose within the girdle of these walls and now confined to mighty monarchies

00:05:53Who's high up reared and abutting fronts the perilous narrow ocean parts asunder?

00:05:59Peace out our imperfection

00:06:02with your thoughts

00:06:04Think when we talk of horses that you see them printing their proud hoops in the receiving earth

00:06:11What is your thoughts that now must deck our King?

00:06:16Carry them here and there

00:06:18Jumping our times

00:06:20turning the accomplishment of many years

00:06:23into an hourglass

00:06:26For the wit supply admit me chorus to this history who prune of like your humble patience pray

00:06:35Gently to hear

00:06:38Kindly to judge our play

00:07:04Oh

00:07:22My lord I'll tell you

00:07:24That same bill is urged which in the 11th year of the last King's reign

00:07:31Was likely to have been against us past but that the scambling and unquiet times did push it out of further question

00:07:39But how my lord shall be resisted now

00:07:42It must be thought on if it pass against us. We lose the better half of our possession

00:07:49for all those

00:07:51Temporal lands which men devout by Testament have given to the church would they strip from us?

00:07:58Thus runs the bill this would drink deep to drink the cup and all but one intention

00:08:08The King is full of grace and fair regard and a true lover of the Holy Church

00:08:14The courses of his youth promised it not since his addiction was to cause his vain

00:08:20His companies and letter food and shadow is ours filled up with banquets riots sports

00:08:28And never noted in him any study and so the prince obscured his contemplations under the veil of wildness

00:08:35Which grew no doubt like the summer grass

00:08:39fastest by night

00:08:41No, sir. I left his father's body, but that the wildness mortified in him seemed to die to

00:08:51Sutton false stuff

00:08:55His company along with him

00:08:58He vanished

00:09:03I'm the pain of death not to come near his person

00:09:11Yeah at that very moment

00:09:14Consideration like an angel came and whipped the offending Adam out of you

00:09:21Never was such a sudden scorn me never came reformation in a blood as he

00:09:28escaped

00:09:30We are blessed in the change

00:09:35My good lord how now for mitigation of this bill urged by the Commons doth his majesty inclined to it or no

00:09:42He seems indifferent or rather swaying more upon our part

00:09:47For I have made an offer to his majesty as touching France

00:09:53To give a greater sum than ever at one time the clergy yet did to his

00:09:59predecessors part with all how did this offer seem received my lord a good acceptance of his majesty save that there was not time

00:10:06enough to hear as I perceived his grace would fain have done of his true title to some certain dukedoms and

00:10:14generally to the crown and seat of

00:10:16France

00:10:18Derived from Edward his great-grandfather

00:10:21What was the impediment that broke this off the French ambassador upon that instant creamed audience?

00:10:31And I think the hour is come to give him hearing

00:10:37Is it four o'clock

00:10:46It is

00:10:47Then go begin to hear his embassy which I could with already guests declare

00:10:54Before the Frenchman speak a word of it. I'll wait upon you and I long to hear

00:11:16I

00:11:46I

00:12:16I

00:12:25Where is my gracious Lord of Canterbury not here in present send for him go down go

00:12:38Shall we call in the ambassador by these not yet my cousin

00:12:42We will be resolved before we hear him of some things of weights that task our thoughts concerning us and pride

00:12:58God and his angels guard your sacred throne and make you long become it

00:13:05Sure, we thank you

00:13:08I

00:13:11Learned Lord we pray you to proceed and justly and religiously unbold

00:13:16Why the law say that they have in France for should or should not bar us in our claim?

00:13:24We charge you in the name of God take heed how you awake the sleeping sword of war

00:13:30Or never to such kingdoms did contend without much fall of blood

00:13:35Whose guiltless drops to make such waste in brief mortality

00:13:39Then hear me gracious sovereign and you peers that owe your lives your faith your services

00:13:46to this imperial flow

00:13:48There is no bar to make against your highness claim to France, but this which they produce from Paramount

00:13:57in

00:13:58Sarikam bull here is naysucceeder. No woman shall succeed in silly plan

00:14:05Which silly plan the French unjustly knows to be the realm of France?

00:14:10Yet their own authors faithfully affirmed that the land silly lies in Germany between the floods of Salah and

00:14:18of Elk

00:14:20where

00:14:21Charles the great having subdued the Saxons

00:14:25They are left behind and settled certain French

00:14:29Who holding in disdain the German women for some dishonest manners of their life?

00:14:37Established there this law to wit no female should be in heretics in silly plan

00:14:43Which is this day in Germany called my son?

00:14:47Then doth it well appear the silly flaw was not devised for the realm of France

00:14:53Nor did the French possess the silly plan until

00:14:57401 and 20 years after the function of King

00:15:06Paramount

00:15:08idly supposed the founder of this law

00:15:11King Peppin which deposed kill Derek did as their general

00:15:16being descended

00:15:32King clutter made claim and title to the throne of France

00:15:37You kept it also

00:15:39which usurped the crown

00:15:41Of

00:15:45Charles the Duke of London so Lammy of the true line and stuck

00:15:58Charles the great could not keep quiet in his conscience wearing the crown of France till satisfied

00:16:06that

00:16:07that

00:16:12Queen Isabella his grandmother was linear of the lady of the lady of the lady

00:16:20The baby I'm in God daughter to Charles the for said Duke of Laurie

00:16:25So that as clear as is the summers

00:16:31Title of the female so do the kings of France until this day

00:16:36How beat they would hold up this silly flaw to bar your highness claiming from the people

00:16:44May I with right and conscience make this claim the sin upon my head bread suffering

00:16:51For in the book of Numbers it is writ when the son died let the inheritance

00:16:57descend unto the daughter

00:17:00gracious Lord

00:17:01Stand your own look back at your mighty ancestors

00:17:05Go my dread Lord your great-grandsons tomb from whom you claim

00:17:09Invoke his warlike spirit and your great uncle said with the black prince your brother Kings and monarchs of the earth to all expect

00:17:16That you should rouse yourself as did the former lions of your blood

00:17:19They know your grace has cause and means and might so hath your highness

00:17:24Never King of England had nobles richer or more loyal subjects

00:17:27Whose hearts have left their bodies here in England and lie pavilion in the fields of France

00:17:31Oh, let their bodies follow my dear needs with blood and sword and fire to win your right

00:17:38in aid whereof we of the

00:17:41Spirituality will raise your highness such a mighty sum as never did the clergy at one time bring into any of your ancestors

00:17:49Call in the messenger sent from the Dolphin

00:17:51Now are we well resolved and by God's help and yours the noble sinews of our power

00:17:57France being ours. We'll bend it to our all or lay these bones in an unworthy urn

00:18:03Tombless with no remembrance over them

00:18:21Oh

00:18:25Now are we well prepared to know the pleasure of our fair cousin Dauphin for we hear your greeting is from him not from the king

00:18:34It is your majesty to give us leave

00:18:36Freely to render what we have in charge or shall we sparingly show you far off the Dauphin's meaning and our embassy

00:18:45We are no tyrant, but a Christian King therefore with Frank and with uncovered plainness. Tell us the Dauphin's mind

00:18:52you

00:18:54Thus then in few

00:18:56Your highness lately sending into France. It claims some certain dukedom's in the right of your great predecessor King Edward the third

00:19:04In answer to which claim the Prince our master says that you save out too much of your youth

00:19:10He therefore sends you bitter for your study this ton of treasure

00:19:15And in you of this desires you let the dukedom's that you claim here are no more of you

00:19:21This the Dauphin speaks

00:19:25What treasure uncle

00:19:32Tennis balls my liege

00:19:47We are glad the Dauphin is so present with us

00:19:51His present and your pains. We thank you for

00:19:56When we have matched our rackets to these balls

00:19:59We will in France by God's grace player set shall strike his father's crown into the hazards

00:20:06Tell him he hath made a match with such a wrangler that all the courts of France will be disturbed with chases

00:20:13And we understand him well how he comes or us with our wilder days not measuring what use we made of them

00:20:21But tell the Dauphin we will keep our estate

00:20:24Be like a king and show our sale of greatness when we do rise us in our throne of France

00:20:32And tell the pleasant Prince

00:20:34This mock of his hath turned these balls to gunstones

00:20:38And his soul shall stand so charged for the wasteful vengeance that shall fly with them

00:20:44For many a thousand widows shall this his mock mock out of their dear husbands mock mothers from their sons

00:20:51mock castles down I

00:20:53Some are yet ungotten and unborn that shall have cause to curse the Dauphin scorn

00:21:00But this lies all within the will of God to whom we do appeal and in whose name tell you the Dauphin we are coming on

00:21:07to fend us as we may and to put forth our rightful claim and one harrowed cause so get you hence in peace and

00:21:13Tell the Dauphin

00:21:15His jest will savour but of shallow wits

00:21:19When thousands weep

00:21:21More than did laugh at it

00:21:25The veil of which they conducts fare you well

00:21:49This was a merry message

00:21:51We hope to make the sender blush at it

00:21:53Therefore that our proportion for these wars we soon collected and all things thought upon that made with reasonable swiftness add more feathers to our wings

00:22:01For God before we check this Dauphin at his father's door

00:22:18Now all the youth of England are on fire and silk and dalliance in the wardrobe lies

00:22:25Now thrive the armorers an honor of soldering solely in the breast of every man

00:22:30They sell the pasture now to buy the horse following a mirror of all Christian Kings with winged heels

00:22:37As English mercuries pronounce its expectation in the air and highs a sword from hilltop to hilltop

00:38:24Suppose that you have seen the well-appointed king at Hampton pier embark his royalty and his brave feet

00:38:31Play on your fancies and in them behold upon the hempen tackles ship boys climbing

00:38:37Here the shrill whistle which doth order give to sounds confused

00:38:41Behold the thread and sails born with the invisible and creeping wind draw the huge vessels through the current seas

00:38:50resting the

00:38:52Think you stand upon the shore

00:38:56The city on the inconstant billows dancing holding to course to her

00:39:03And

00:39:06Leave your England as dead midnight still

00:39:10Guarded with grandsires babies and old women

00:39:13For who is he whose chin is but enriched with one appearing hair that will not follow these culled and choice-drawn

00:39:22cavaliers to France

00:39:24The

00:39:27French advised by good intelligence of this most dreadful preparation

00:39:33Shake in their fear and with pale policy seek to divert the English purposes

00:39:54Oh

00:40:14Thus comes the English with full power upon us and more than carefully does concerns

00:40:22To answer royally in our defenses

00:40:28Therefore you Dukes of Bury and

00:41:06Let us do it with no show of fear

00:41:08No with no more than if we heard that England were busied with a wits and modest dance

00:41:14All my good leaves she is so idly King so guided by a shallow humorous youth

00:41:20That fear attends her not Oh peace Prince Dauphin

00:41:26You are too much mistaken in this King

00:41:29Question your grace our late ambassadors with what great state he heard that embassy

00:41:34How well supplied with aged counselors how terrible in constant resolution well tis not so my lord high

00:41:41Constable but though we think it so it is no matter in cases of defense

00:41:45tis best to weigh the enemy more mighty than he seems and

00:41:49He has bred out of that bloody strain that haunted us in our familiar paths

00:41:55When Chrissy battle fatally was struck

00:41:59And all our princes captive by the hand of that black name

00:42:06Edward

00:42:07black Prince of Wales

00:42:09This

00:42:13Is a stem of that victorious stock and let us fear the native mightiness

00:42:29Ambassadors from Harry King of England do crave admittance to your majesty. We'll give them present audience go and bring them

00:42:40Good my sovereign take up the English short and let them know of what a monarchy you are the head

00:42:47Self love my liege is not so vile a sin as self-neglected

00:43:09Our

00:43:20Brother England

00:43:22from him and

00:43:24Thus he greets your majesty

00:43:26He wills you in the name of God Almighty

00:43:29That you divest yourself and lay apart the borrowed glory that by gift of heaven by law of nature and of nations

00:43:37Long to him and to his heir namely the crown

00:43:43Willing you overlook this pedigree and when you find him evenly derived from his most famed of famous

00:43:51ancestors Edward the third

00:43:54He bid you then resign your crown and kingdom

00:43:59indirectly held

00:44:00From him the native and true challenger

00:44:05If not

00:44:07What follows?

00:44:09bloody constraint

00:44:11But if you hide the crown even in your hearts there will he wait for it

00:44:16Therefore in fierce tempest is he coming in thunder and in earthquake like a Jove

00:44:22But if requiring fail he will compel

00:44:25This is his claim his threatening and my message

00:44:30Unless the dolphin be in presence here to whom expressly I bring greeting to for us

00:44:36We will consider of this further

00:44:39Tomorrow shall you bear our full intent back to our brother England

00:44:45For the dolphin I stand here for him what to him from England

00:44:50What to him from England

00:44:59Gone and defiance

00:45:01slight regard contempt and

00:45:04Anything that may not miss become the mighty sender that he prize you it

00:45:09Thus says my king

00:45:12And if your father's highness do not in grant of all demands at large

00:45:17Sweeten the bitter mock you sent his majesty

00:45:20He'll make your Paris Louvre a shake for it

00:45:25tomorrow shall you know a

00:45:27Mind at full dispatch us with all speed lest that our king come here himself to question our delay

00:45:46The ordinance on their carriages with fatal mouths keeping on girded

00:45:51After

00:46:11That's far under the bridge dear friends once more or close them all up with our English dead

00:46:21In

00:46:26Peace

00:46:27There's nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness and humility

00:46:33But when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger

00:46:38Stiffen the sinews summon up the blood

00:46:40disguise fair nature with hard favored rage

00:46:44Then lend the eye a terrible aspects. Let it pry through the portage of the head like the brass cannon

00:46:49Let the brow walk well meters fearfully as not a gaudy rock or hang and jutty his confounded base swirled with a wild and wasteful

00:46:56Ocean now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit to his full height

00:47:04On our new noblest English whose blood is fed from fathers of war proof

00:47:09Fathers that like so many Alexander's have in these parts from Maunty leave in port and sheath their souls for lack of argument

00:47:16This honor not your mother's now a test that those of you calls fathers

00:47:20did they get you the copy now to men of growth of blood and teach them how to walk and

00:47:26You good yeoman whose limbs were made in England show us here the middle of your pasture

00:47:31Let us swear that you are worth your breeding which I doubt not for there is none of you so mean and base

00:47:36But have not noble luster in your eyes. I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips training upon the stars

00:47:43The games of foot follow your spirit

00:47:46And upon this charge cry God for Harry

00:47:51England and St. George

00:47:53Oh

00:48:13Crazy

00:48:15Not to do

00:48:17They come and go

00:48:20And I and sword and shield in bloody feel both when a mortal pain

00:48:28His honor and that's a truth of it

00:48:31Would I were in a nail house in London? I give all my fame for a pot of iron safety

00:48:49I

00:48:57Would Linstock now the devilish cannon touches

00:49:09Captain

00:49:11Fluid you must come presently to the mind the Duke of Gloucester would speak with you to the mines

00:49:18Tell you the Duke it is not so good to come to the mines for a few

00:49:23The mind is not according to the disciplines of war the concavities of it is not sufficient

00:49:27For look you the adversary you may discuss under the Duke look you he's digged himself four yards under the counter mines

00:49:34Why do you I think he will blow up all if there is not better directions

00:49:37If you could Bluster to whom the order of the siege is given is altogether directed by an Irishman a very valiant gentleman

00:49:43He say it is Captain McMorris. Is it not? I think it'd be by Geo. He is an asset in the world

00:49:49I will verify as much in his beard

00:49:50He has no more directions in the true disciplines of the wars look you of the Roman disciplines

00:49:55He has no more directions in the true disciplines of the wars look you of the Roman disciplines

00:50:01Here he comes and the Scots captain kept in Jamie with him

00:50:06Captain Jamie is a marvellous valorous gentleman that is certain of great expeditions and knowledge in the ancient wars

00:50:13Valorous gentleman that is certain of great expeditions and knowledge in the ancient wars

00:50:32You quit the minds and the pioneers given her

00:50:36Boy, the Saints is ill done the work is give over the trumpets on the retreat

00:50:43By my hand, I swear, and by my father's soul,

00:50:46tis ill done, the work is give over.

00:50:49I would have blowed up the town, so God save me.

00:50:52In an hour.

00:50:54Tis ill done, by my hand, tis ill done.

00:51:00Captain McMorris, I beseech you now,

00:51:02will you aboutsafe me, look you, a few disputations, will you?

00:51:06Partly to satisfy my opinion,

00:51:08and partly for the satisfaction, look you, of my mind.

00:51:14As touching the direction of the military disciplines,

00:51:17that is the point.

00:51:18It shall be very good, good faith, good captains both.

00:51:22And I would feign here some discourse between you, Dwayne.

00:51:25This is no time to discourse, so God save me.

00:51:29No.

00:51:31The day is hot, and the weather,

00:51:33and the wars, and the king, and the dukes.

00:51:35This is no time to discourse.

00:51:38The town is beseeched.

00:51:40The trumpet calls into the breach,

00:51:42and we talk, and by the holy dew, nothing.

00:51:45Tis a shame for us all, so God save me.

00:51:48Tis a shame to stand still.

00:51:50Tis a shame by me hand.

00:51:52And there is troops to be caught,

00:51:54and work to be done,

00:51:56and nothing is done, so help me God.

00:52:02By the mass, ere these eyes of mine take themselves to slumber,

00:52:06I'll do good service,

00:52:08or I'll lie the ground for it.

00:52:10Aye, or go to death.

00:52:12And I'll pay it as valorously as I may.

00:52:15That shall I surely do.

00:52:17That is the brief and the long of it.

00:52:23Captain McMorris, I think, look you, under your correction,

00:52:27there is not many of your nation.

00:52:33Of my nation?

00:52:36What is my nation?

00:52:39Is a villain, a bastard, and a knave, and a rascal?

00:52:44What is my nation?

00:52:47Who talks of my nation?

00:52:50Look you, if you take the matter otherwise than is meant, Captain McMorris,

00:52:55peradventure I shall think you do not use me with affability,

00:52:58as in discretion you ought to use me, look you,

00:53:01being as good a man as yourself,

00:53:03am I a dissipant of war and a derivation of my birth and other particularities?

00:53:07We do not know you as good a man as myself,

00:53:10so God save me, and I will cut off your head.

00:53:13Gentlemen, boo, you will mistake each other.

00:53:16Oh, that's a foul fault.

00:53:21The town's on the parley.

00:53:23Hey!

00:53:26How yet resolves the governor of the town?

00:53:29This is the latest parley, we'll admit.

00:53:33Our expectation hath this day an end.

00:53:37The dauphin of whom succor we entreated

00:53:40returns us word his powers are not yet ready

00:53:44to raise so great a siege.

00:53:47Therefore, dread king,

00:53:49we yield our town and lives to your soft mercy.

00:53:53Enter our gates.

00:53:56Dispose of us and ours,

00:53:59for we no longer are defensible.

00:54:02Open your gates.

00:54:06Come, brother Gloucester.

00:54:09Go you and enter Harfleur.

00:54:11There remain and fortify it strongly against the French.

00:54:16Use mercy to them all.

00:54:19For us, dear brother, the winter coming on

00:54:21and sickness growing upon our soldiers,

00:54:24we will retire to Calais.

00:54:27Tonight in Harfleur will we be your guest.

00:54:30Tomorrow for the march shall we address.

00:55:30Come, brother.

00:56:01Alice, you were in England

00:56:05and you speak English well.

00:56:08A little, madame.

00:56:10I thought you were my teacher.

00:56:12I must learn to speak.

00:56:15How do you say the hand in English?

00:56:18The hand? It is called the hand.

00:56:21The hand.

00:56:23The hand.

00:56:25The hand.

00:56:27The hand.

00:56:29The hand.

00:56:32The hand.

00:56:42The fingers.

00:56:44The fingers.

00:56:59The nails.

00:57:05The hands, the fingers, the nails.

00:57:14The arm, madame.

00:57:18The elbow.

00:57:28Excuse me, Alice.

00:57:30The hand, the fingers, the nails, the arm.

00:57:33The elbow.

00:57:35The elbow.

00:57:37I forgot.

00:57:39The elbow.

00:57:41How do you say the collar?

00:57:43The neck.

00:57:45And the chin?

00:57:47The chin.

00:57:49The collar of the neck, the chin of the chin.

00:57:53You speak English as well as the natives of England.

00:57:58We have to learn by the grace of God and we don't have much time.

00:58:02Have you forgotten what I told you?

00:58:04No, I'll recite it to you.

00:58:06The hand, the fingers, the nails, madame.

00:58:11The nails.

00:58:13The arm, the elbow.

00:58:15The elbow.

00:58:17That's how I say the elbow.

00:58:20The neck.

00:58:23How do you say the foot and the dress?

00:58:28The foot and the dress.

00:58:31Oh, Lord God!

00:58:33Those are bad, corrupt, stupid words.

00:58:38I don't want to say those words in front of the lords of France.

00:58:43The foot and the dress.

00:58:45But I'll recite my lesson again.

00:58:49The hand, the fingers, the nails.

00:58:52The arm, the elbow.

00:58:54The neck, the chin.

00:58:56The foot and the dress.

00:58:59Oh, madame, c'est excellent!

00:59:01C'est assez pour une fois.

00:59:03Avant, on nous a dîné.

00:59:57It is certain he hath passed the River Somme.

01:00:04And if he be not fought withal, my Lord, let us not live in France.

01:00:08Let us quit all.

01:00:10Let us live in France, my Lord.

01:00:13Let us live in France, my Lord.

01:00:16Let us live in France, my Lord.

01:00:19Let us live in France, my Lord.

01:00:22Let us live in France, my Lord.

01:00:25Let us quit all and give our vineyards to a barbarous people.

01:00:31Normans! For dastard Normans!

01:00:34Norman bastards!

01:00:36Mortimer thee!

01:00:55If they march along unfought withal,

01:00:58then I will sell my dukedom to buy a slobbery and dirty farm

01:01:01in that nook-shot Nile of Albion.

01:01:03Deer to bataille! Where have they this metal?

01:01:06Is not the climate poppy, raw and dull on whom as in despite

01:01:09the sun looks pale, killing their fruit with frowns?

01:01:12And shall our quick blood, spirited with wine, seem frosty?

01:01:15By faith and honour, our madams mock at us

01:01:18and plainly say our metal is bred out.

01:01:21And they will give their bodies to the lust of English youth,

01:01:25when you store France with bastard warriors.

01:01:31Where is Mountjoy the herald?

01:01:34Speed him hence.

01:01:36Let him greet England with our sharp defiance.

01:01:40Up, princes, and with spirit of honour hence.

01:01:43Bar Harry England that sweeps through our land

01:01:46with penance painted in the blood of half-lure.

01:01:49Go down upon him. You have power enough.

01:01:51And in a captive chariot into Rouen, bring him our prisoner.

01:01:55This becomes the great.

01:01:57Sorry, oh, my, his numbers are so few.

01:01:59His soldiers sick and famished in their march.

01:02:01For I am sure when he shall see our army,

01:02:03he'll drop his heart into the sink of fear

01:02:06and for achievement offer us his ransom.

01:02:08Therefore, Lord Constable, hasten on Mountjoy.

01:02:12Prince Dauphin, you shall stay with us in Rouen.

01:02:16Not so. I do beseech your majesty.

01:02:18Patience, for you shall remain with us.

01:02:20Now forth, Lord Constable, and prince is all.

01:02:23And quickly bring us word of England's fall.

01:02:47You know me by my habits.

01:02:49Well, then, I know thee. What shall I know of thee?

01:02:52My master's mind. Unfold it.

01:02:55Thus says my king.

01:02:57Said our Harry of England, though we seem dead, we did but slumber.

01:03:01Tell him we could have rebuked him at half-lure,

01:03:03but we thought not good to bruise and injure it till it were full ripe.

01:03:07Now we speak upon our cue, and our voice is imperial.

01:03:11England shall repent his folly,

01:03:13see his weakness, and admire our sufferance.

01:03:16Bid him, therefore, consider of his ransom,

01:03:18which must proportion the losses we have borne,

01:03:20the subjects we have lost, the disgrace we have digested.

01:03:24For our losses, his exchequer is too poor.

01:03:28For the effusion of our blood, the master of his kingdom too faint a number.

01:03:32And for our disgrace, his own person kneeling at our feet,

01:03:36but a weak and worthless satisfaction.

01:03:39To this, add defiance, and tell him for conclusion

01:03:43he hath betrayed his followers, whose condemnation is pronounced.

01:03:48So far, my king and master, so much my office.

01:03:52What is thy name? I know thy quality.

01:03:55Mountjoy.

01:03:57Adjust thy office fairly.

01:04:00Turn thee back and tell thy king I do not seek him now,

01:04:03but could be willing to march on to Calais without impeachment.

01:04:07For to say the truth, my people are with sickness much enfeebled.

01:04:12My numbers lessen.

01:04:15Go, therefore, tell thy master here I am.

01:04:19My ransom is this frail and worthless body.

01:04:22My army but a weak and sickly guard.

01:04:25Yet, God before, tell him we will come on,

01:04:28though France herself and such another neighbor stood in our way.

01:04:32If we may pass, we will.

01:04:35If we be hindered, we shall your tawny ground with your red blood discolor.

01:04:40And so, Mountjoy, fare you well.

01:04:44We would not seek a battle as we are.

01:04:47Nor, as we are, we say we will not shun it.

01:04:50So tell your master.

01:04:52I shall deliver so.

01:04:56There's for thy labor, Mountjoy.

01:04:58Thanks, Your Highness.

01:05:04March to the ridge. To the ridge!

01:05:07It now draws toward night.

01:05:10Beyond the river we'll encamp ourselves.

01:05:13And on the morrow, bid them march away.
