章节摘录

　　25 For who in scorn refus'd our pr0ffer'd peace Endur' d the penalty of sharp revenge.　　K. Edw. Ah France， why shouldst thou be thus obstinate Against the kind embracement of thy friends？ How gently had we thought to touch thy breast，　　30 And set our foot upon thy tender mould， But that in froward and disdainful pride， Thou， like a skittish and untamed colt， Dost start aside and strike us with thy heels. ——But tell me， Ned， in all thy warlike course　　35 Hast thou not seen the usurping King of France？　　P. Edw. Yes， my good lord， and not two hours ago.　　With full a hundred thousand fighting men， Upon the one side with the river's bank， And on the other with his multitudes　　40 I fear'd he would have cropp'd our smaller power： But happily， perceiving your approach， He hath withdrawn himself to Cressy plains， Where， as it seemeth by his good array， He means to bid us battle presently.　　45 K. Edw. He shall be welcome： that's the thing we crave.　　Drums. Enter KING JOHN， the DUKES OF NORMANDY and LORRAINE， the KING OF BOHEME， young PRINCE PHILIP， and SOLDIERS.　　……
