NORTHUMBERLAND. How doth my son and brother?			Northumberland. How is my son and brother?
Thou tremblest; and the whiteness in thy cheek			You are most trembling; And know that in your cheek
Is apter than thy tongue to tell thy errand.			Is auder than your tongue to tell your visit.
Even such a man, so faint, so spiritless,			Even such a man, so weak, so spiritual,

MORTON. Douglas is living, and your brother, yet;			Morton. Douglas lives and your brother;
But for my lord your son--			But for my Lord your son ...

Hath by instinct knowledge from others' eyes			Has knowledge from the eyes of others through instincts
That what he fear'd is chanced. Yet speak, Morton;			What he feared is deleted. But speak, Morton;

Your spirit is too true, your fears too certain.			Your spirit is too true, your fears too safe.
NORTHUMBERLAND. Yet, for all this, say not that Percy's dead.			Northumberland. Nevertheless, they don't say that Percy is dead.
I see a strange confession in thine eye;			I see a strange confession in your eye;
Thou shak'st thy head, and hold'st it fear or sin			You look your head and consider it fear or sin
To speak a truth. If he be slain, say so:			Say a truth. If he is killed, say it:
The tongue offends not that reports his death;			The tongue does not insult that he reports his death;
And he doth sin that doth belie the dead,			And he has sin that believes the dead
Not he which says the dead is not alive.			Not he, what the dead say, does not live.
Yet the first bringer of unwelcome news			Still the first fire
Hath but a losing office, and his tongue			Has only a lost office and his tongue
Sounds ever after as a sullen bell,			Always sounds like it as a grumpy bell,
Rememb'red tolling a departing friend.			Memory of a decreasing friend.

Being bruited once, took fire and heat away			To be squeezed once brought fire and heated away
From the best-temper'd courage in his troops;			From the best courage in his troops;

For all the country, in a general voice,			For the whole country in a general voice,
Cried hate upon him; and all their prayers and love			Called hate on him; and all their prayers and love
Were set on Hereford, whom they doted on,			Were determined on Hereford, whereupon

ARCHBISHOP. No, no, my lord. Note this: the King is weary			ARCHBISHOP. No, no, my Lord. Please note the following: The king is tired
Of dainty and such picking grievances;			Of petite and such educational complaints;
For he hath found to end one doubt by death			Because he found that he ended a doubt through death

And therefore will he wipe his tables clean,			And that's why he will wipe his tables cleanly,

ARCHBISHOP. 'Tis very true;			ARCHBISHOP. It is very true;
And therefore be assur'd, my good Lord Marshal,			And therefore be insured, my good Lord Marschall,

Did with the least affection of a welcome			Did the slightest affection of a welcome
Give entertainment to the might of it,			Give the power entertaining
Let God for ever keep it from my head,			Let God keep it from my head forever

How troublesome it sat upon my head:			How annoying it was on my head:
To thee it shall descend with better quiet,			For you it should descend with better calm
Better opinion, better confirmation;			Better opinion, better confirmation;
For all the soil of the achievement goes			For the entire ground of performance
With me into the earth. It seem'd in me			With me in the ground. It seemed to be in me
But as an honour snatch'd with boist'rous hand;			But as an honor, Boist'rous grabbed his hand;
And I had many living to upbraid			And I had a lot to live to live high
My gain of it by their assistances;			My profit through their assistance;
Which daily grew to quarrel and to bloodshed,			Which became argument and bloodshed daily,
Wounding supposed peace. All these bold fears			Suspected peace wounded. All of these brave fears
Thou seest with peril I have answered;			You see with danger that I answered;
For all my reign hath been but as a scene			With all my reign it was only a scene
Acting that argument. And now my death			Act this argument. And now my death
Changes the mood; for what in me was purchas'd			Changes the mood; for what bought in me
Falls upon thee in a more fairer sort;			Falls on you in a fairer way;
So thou the garland wear'st successively.			So, you have one after the other.
Yet, though thou stand'st more sure than I could do,			But although you have more secure than I could
Thou art not firm enough, since griefs are green;			You are not firm enough because grief are green;
And all my friends, which thou must make thy friends,			And all my friends you have to find your friends
Have but their stings and teeth newly ta'en out;			Have only re -equipped their stitches and teeth;
By whose fell working I was first advanc'd,			Through their fur, I worked ahead for the first time
And by whose power I well might lodge a fear			And through their power I could make a fear
To be again displac'd; which to avoid,			To be suppressed again; what to avoid
I cut them off; and had a purpose now			I cut them off; and now had a purpose
To lead out many to the Holy Land,			Many lead to the Holy Land,
Lest rest and lying still might make them look			So that they could not rest and lie, they could still make them look
Too near unto my state. Therefore, my Harry,			Too close in my state. So my Harry,
Be it thy course to busy giddy minds			Be it your course too much dizzying heads
With foreign quarrels, that action, hence borne out,			With foreign disputes, this action, therefore published,
May waste the memory of the former days.			Can waste the memory of the earlier days.
More would I, but my lungs are wasted so			I would be more, but my lungs are wasted
That strength of speech is utterly denied me.			I am completely denied this strength of the speech.
How I came by the crown, O God, forgive;			How I came on the crown, o god, forgive;
And grant it may with thee in true peace live!			And live it with you in real peace!
PRINCE. My gracious liege,			PRINCE. My gracious luck
You won it, wore it, kept it, gave it me;			You won it, worn, held, it existed;

Gainst all the world will rightfully maintain.			Winning the whole world is rightly maintained.

Be you contented, wearing now the garland,			If you are satisfied, now wear the garland,
To have a son set your decrees at nought,			To set her decree on nauging,
To pluck down justice from your awful bench,			To pick justice from your terrible bank,
To trip the course of law, and blunt the sword			To stumble the course of the right and the sword too blunt
That guards the peace and safety of your person;			This protects peace and the security of your person;
Nay, more, to spurn at your most royal image,			No, more to smear according to her royal picture,
And mock your workings in a second body.			And you mock your work in a second body.
Question your royal thoughts, make the case yours;			If you question your royal thoughts, make the case of yours;
Be now the father, and propose a son;			Be the father now and suggest a son;
Hear your own dignity so much profan'd,			Listen your own dignity so much
See your most dreadful laws so loosely slighted,			See your most terrible laws that are so loosely insulted,
Behold yourself so by a son disdain'd;			See you from a son who despised;
And then imagine me taking your part			And then imagine that I will take your role
And, in your power, soft silencing your son.			And in their strength soft to silence their son.
After this cold considerance, sentence me;			After this cold consideration, judge me;
And, as you are a king, speak in your state			And how they are a king, they speak in their state
What I have done that misbecame my place,			What I did, that disapproved of my place
My person, or my liege's sovereignty.			My person or the sovereignty of my Liège.
KING. You are right, Justice, and you weigh this well;			KING. You are right, justice, and you weigh this well;
Therefore still bear the balance and the sword;			Therefore, the balance and the sword are still wearing;
And I do wish your honours may increase			And I wish their honor can increase

Offend you, and obey you, as I did.			Insult yourself and obey how I did it.
So shall I live to speak my father's words:			So I should live to speak my father's words:
Happy am I that have a man so bold			I am happy who has a man who is so brave
That dares do justice on my proper son;			That dares to do justice to my real son;
And not less happy, having such a son			And no less happy to have such a son
That would deliver up his greatness so			That would deliver its size
Into the hands of justice.' You did commit me;			In the hands of justice. 'You limited me;
For which I do commit into your hand			For which I commit myself in your hand
Th' unstained sword that you have us'd to bear;			The unpleasant sword that they have to wear us;
With this remembrance--that you use the same			With this memory-to-water you use the same
With the like bold, just, and impartial spirit			With the same brave, just and impartial spirit
As you have done 'gainst me. There is my hand.			How you made me. There is my hand.
You shall be as a father to my youth;			You should be as a father of my youth;
My voice shall sound as you do prompt mine ear;			My voice should sound when you ask my ear.
And I will stoop and humble my intents			And I will bend down my intentions and humble
To your well-practis'd wise directions.			On their well practical instructions.
And, Princes all, believe me, I beseech you,			And prince all, believe me, I ask you to
My father is gone wild into his grave,			My father became wild in his grave
For in his tomb lie my affections;			Because my affection lie in his grave;
And with his spirits sadly I survive,			And unfortunately I survive with his ghosts
To mock the expectation of the world,			The expectation of the world mock
To frustrate prophecies, and to raze out			To frustrate and move out prophecies
Rotten opinion, who hath writ me down			Rotten opinion that wrote me down
After my seeming. The tide of blood in me			After my apparent. The flood of blood in me
Hath proudly flow'd in vanity till now.			So far I have proud in vanity.
Now doth it turn and ebb back to the sea,			Now it is about and ebb back to the sea
Where it shall mingle with the state of floods,			Where it should mix with the state of flooding,
And flow henceforth in formal majesty.			And flow from now on in a formal majesty.
Now call we our high court of parliament;			Now call our High Court of Parliament.
And let us choose such limbs of noble counsel,			And let us choose such members of fine advice,
That the great body of our state may go			That the big body of our state can go
In equal rank with the best govern'd nation;			Equal rank with the best governing nation;
