33
+ <A NAME=2>contented to be there, in respect of the love I bear</A><br>
34
+ <A NAME=3>your house.' He could be contented: why is he not,</A><br>
35
+ <A NAME=4>then? In respect of the love he bears our house:</A><br>
36
+ <A NAME=5>he shows in this, he loves his own barn better than</A><br>
37
+ <A NAME=6>he loves our house. Let me see some more. 'The</A><br>

39
+ <A NAME=8>certain: 'tis dangerous to take a cold, to sleep, to</A><br>
40
+ <A NAME=9>drink; but I tell you, my lord fool, out of this</A><br>

43
+ <A NAME=12>have named uncertain; the time itself unsorted; and</A><br>
44
+ <A NAME=13>your whole plot too light for the counterpoise of so</A><br>
45
+ <A NAME=14>great an opposition.' Say you so, say you so? I say</A><br>
46
+ <A NAME=15>unto you again, you are a shallow cowardly hind, and</A><br>
47
+ <A NAME=16>you lie. What a lack-brain is this! By the Lord,</A><br>
48
+ <A NAME=17>our plot is a good plot as ever was laid; our</A><br>

51
+ <A NAME=20>very good friends. What a frosty-spirited rogue is</A><br>
52
+ <A NAME=21>this! Why, my lord of York commends the plot and the</A><br>
53
+ <A NAME=22>general course of action. 'Zounds, an I were now by</A><br>
54
+ <A NAME=23>this rascal, I could brain him with his lady's fan.</A><br>

64

70

71
+ <A NAME=31>Quite from the flight of all thy ancestors.</A><br>
72
+ <A NAME=32>Thy place in council thou hast rudely lost.</A><br>
73
+ <A NAME=33>Which by thy younger brother is supplied,</A><br>
74
+ <A NAME=34>And art almost an alien to the hearts</A><br>
75
+ <A NAME=35>Of all the court and princes of my blood:</A><br>
76
+ <A NAME=36>The hope and expectation of thy time</A><br>
77
+ <A NAME=37>Is ruin'd, and the soul of every man</A><br>
78
+ <A NAME=38>Prophetically doth forethink thy fall.</A><br>
79
+ <A NAME=39>Had I so lavish of my presence been,</A><br>
80
+ <A NAME=40>So common-hackney'd in the eyes of men,</A><br>
81
+ <A NAME=41>So stale and cheap to vulgar company,</A><br>
82
+ <A NAME=42>Opinion, that did help me to the crown,</A><br>
83
+ <A NAME=43>Had still kept loyal to possession</A><br>
84
+ <A NAME=44>And left me in reputeless banishment,</A><br>
85
+ <A NAME=45>A fellow of no mark nor likelihood.</A><br>
86
+ <A NAME=46>By being seldom seen, I could not stir</A><br>
87
+ <A NAME=47>But like a comet I was wonder'd at;</A><br>
88
+ <A NAME=48>That men would tell their children 'This is he;'</A><br>
89
+ <A NAME=49>Others would say 'Where, which is Bolingbroke?'</A><br>
90
+ <A NAME=50>And then I stole all courtesy from heaven,</A><br>
91
+ <A NAME=51>And dress'd myself in such humility</A><br>
92
+ <A NAME=52>That I did pluck allegiance from men's hearts,</A><br>
93
+ <A NAME=53>Loud shouts and salutations from their mouths,</A><br>
94
+ <A NAME=54>Even in the presence of the crowned king.</A><br>
95
+ <A NAME=55>Thus did I keep my person fresh and new;</A><br>
96
+ <A NAME=56>My presence, like a robe pontifical,</A><br>
97
+ <A NAME=57>Ne'er seen but wonder'd at: and so my state,</A><br>
98
+ <A NAME=58>Seldom but sumptuous, showed like a feast</A><br>
99
+ <A NAME=59>And won by rareness such solemnity.</A><br>
100

101

102
+ <A NAME=62>Soon kindled and soon burnt; carded his state,</A><br>
103
+ <A NAME=63>Mingled his royalty with capering fools,</A><br>
104
+ <A NAME=64>Had his great name profaned with their scorns</A><br>
105
+ <A NAME=65>And gave his countenance, against his name,</A><br>
106
+ <A NAME=66>To laugh at gibing boys and stand the push</A><br>
107
+ <A NAME=67>Of every beardless vain comparative,</A><br>
108
+ <A NAME=68>Grew a companion to the common streets,</A><br>
109
+ <A NAME=69>Enfeoff'd himself to popularity;</A><br>
110
+ <A NAME=70>That, being daily swallow'd by men's eyes,</A><br>
111
+ <A NAME=71>They surfeited with honey and began</A><br>
112
+ <A NAME=72>To loathe the taste of sweetness, whereof a little</A><br>
113
+ <A NAME=73>More than a little is by much too much.</A><br>
114
+ <A NAME=74>So when he had occasion to be seen,</A><br>
115
+ <A NAME=75>He was but as the cuckoo is in June,</A><br>
116
+ <A NAME=76>Heard, not regarded; seen, but with such eyes</A><br>
117
+ <A NAME=77>As, sick and blunted with community,</A><br>
118
+ <A NAME=78>Afford no extraordinary gaze,</A><br>
119
+ <A NAME=79>Such as is bent on sun-like majesty</A><br>
120
+ <A NAME=80>When it shines seldom in admiring eyes;</A><br>
121
+ <A NAME=81>But rather drowzed and hung their eyelids down,</A><br>
122
+ <A NAME=82>Slept in his face and render'd such aspect</A><br>
123
+ <A NAME=83>As cloudy men use to their adversaries,</A><br>
124
+ <A NAME=84>Being with his presence glutted, gorged and full.</A><br>
125
+ <A NAME=85>And in that very line, Harry, standest thou;</A><br>
126
+ <A NAME=86>For thou has lost thy princely privilege</A><br>
127
+ <A NAME=87>With vile participation: not an eye</A><br>
128
+ <A NAME=88>But is a-weary of thy common sight,</A><br>
129
+ <A NAME=89>Save mine, which hath desired to see thee more;</A><br>
130

37

38

39

40

48

70
