- King Henry the Fourth
The following are characteristic selections:
Enter Henry the fourth, with the earle of Exeter and
the earle of Oxford.
Oxf. Please your maiestie, heere is my Lord maior
and the sheriffe of London.
King Hen. 4- Admit them to our presence.
Enter the Maior and the Sheriffe.
Now, my good Lord Maior of London,
the cause of my sending to you at this time is to tel
you of a matter which I have learned of my councell:
Herein I understand that you haue committed my
sonne to prison without our leaue and license. What
although he be a rude youth and likely to give occa
sion, yet you might haue considered that he is a
Prince and my sonne, and not to be hailed to prison
by euery subiect.
Maior. May it please your maiestie to give us
leaue to tell our tale.
King Hen. 4- Or else God forbid, otherwise you
might think me an vnequall ludge, hauing more affec
tion to my sonne then to any rightfull iudgement.
Maior. Then if it please your Maiestie, this night
betwixt two and three of the clocke of the morning,
my Lord the young Prince with a very disordered
companie, came to the olde Tauerne in Eastcheape,
and whether it was that their Musicke liked them not,
or whether they were ouercome with wine, I know
not, but they drew their swords and into the street
they went, and some toke my Lord the yong Princes
part, and some tooke the other, but betwixt them
there was such a bloodie fray for the space of half
an houre, that neither watchmen nor any other could
stay them, till my brother the Sheriffe of London
and I were sent for, and at the laste with much adoo
we staied them, but it was long first, which was a
great disquieting to all your louing subiects there-
