Scene III. [Footnote: Plain note between the camps. The King enters with his power. Alarum to the battle. Then enter Douglas and Sir Walter Blunt.

Blunt.
What is thy name, that in the note battle thus
Thou note crossest note me? what note honour dost thou seek
Upon my head? note

Doug.
Know then, my name is Douglas;
And I do haunt thee in the battle thus
Because some tell me that thou art a king note.

Blunt.
They tell thee true.

Doug.
The Lord of Stafford dear note to-day hath bought
Thy likeness, for instead of thee, King Harry,
This sword hath ended him: so shall it thee,
Unless thou yield thee as my note prisoner.

-- 339 --

Blunt.
I was not born a yielder, thou proud note Scot note;
And thou shalt find a king that will revenge
Lord note Stafford's death.
[They fight. Douglas kills Blunt. Enter Hotspur. note

Hot.
O Douglas, hadst thou fought at Holmedon note thus,
I never had triumph'd upon note a Scot.

Doug.
All's done, all's won; here breathless lies the king.

Hot.
Where?

Doug.
Here.

Hot.
This, Douglas? no: I know this face note full well:
A gallant knight he was, his name was Blunt;
Semblably furnish'd like the king himself.

Doug.
A fool go note with thy soul, whither note it goes!
A borrowed note title hast thou bought too dear:
Why didst thou tell me that thou wert a king?

Hot.
The king hath many marching note in his coats.

Doug.
Now, by my sword, I will kill all his coats;
I'll murder all his wardrobe, piece by piece,
Until I meet the king.

Hot.
Up, and away!
Our soldiers stand full fairly for the day.
[Exeunt. Alarum note. Enter Falstaff, solus.

Fal.

Though I could 'scape shot-free at London, I fear the shot here; here's no scoring but upon the pate. Soft!

-- 340 --

who are you? note Sir Walter Blunt: there's honour for you! here's no vanity! I am as hot as molten lead, and as heavy too: God note keep lead out of me! I need no more weight than mine own bowels. I have led my ragamuffins note where they are peppered: there's not three note of my hundred and fifty note left alive; and they are note for the town's end, to beg during life. But who comes here?

Enter the Prince.

Prince.
What, stand'st note thou idle here? lend me thy sword:
Many a nobleman note lies stark and stiff
Under the hoofs of vaunting enemies,
Whose deaths are yet note unrevenged: I prithee note, lend me note thy sword. note

Fal.

O Hal, I prithee, give me leave to breathe awhile. Turk Gregory never did such deeds in arms as I have done this day. I have paid Percy, I have made him sure. note

Prince.

He is, indeed; and living to kill thee note. I prithee, lend note me thy sword.

Fal.

Nay, before God, Hal note, if Percy be alive, thou get'st note not my sword; but take my pistol, if thou wilt.

Prince.

Give it me: what, is it note in the case?

-- 341 --

Fal.

Ay, Hal; 'tis hot, 'tis hot note; there's that will sack a city.

[The Prince draws it out, and finds it to be note a bottle of sack note.

Prince.

What, is it note a time to jest and dally now?

[He note throws the bottle at him. Exit.

Fal.

Well, note if Percy be alive, I'll note pierce him. If he do come in my way, so: note if he do not, if I come in his willingly, note let him make a carbonado of me. I like not such grinning honour as Sir Walter hath: give me life: which if I can save, so; if not, honour comes unlooked for, and there's an end.

[Exit. note
