- 98 The Second Part of
For now a time is come to mock at form.
Harry the Fifth is crown'd ! Up, vanity !
Down, royal state ! all you sage counsellors, hence !
And to the English court assemble now, 120
From every region, apes of idleness !
Now, neighbour confines, purge you of your scum:
Have you a ruffian that will swear, drink, dance,
Revel the night, rob, murder, and commit 124
The oldest sins the newest kind of ways?
Be happy, he will trouble you no more:
England shall double gild his treble guilt.
England shall give him office, honour, might; 128
For the fifth Harry from curb'd licence plucks
The muzzle of restraint, and the wild dog
Shall flesh his tooth in every innocent.
0 my poor kingdom! sick with civil blows, 132
When that my care could not withhold thy riots,
What wilt thou do when riot is thy care?
O ! thou wilt be a wilderness again,
Peopled with wolves, thy old inhabitants. 136
Prince. O ! pardon me, my liege ; but for my tears,
The moist impediments unto my speech,

Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard 140
The course of it so far. There is your crown;
And he that wears the crown immortally
Long guard it yours ! If I affect it more
Than as your honour and as your renown, 144
Let me no more from this obedience rise, —
Which my most inward, true, and duteous spirit
Teacheth, — this prostrate and exterior bending.
God witness with me, when I here came in, 148
And found no course of breath within your majesty,
117 form: order 118 vanity: folly 134 care: special study
139 dear: earnest 143 affect: aspire to
