LANCASTER
We meet like men that had forgot to speak. WARWICK
We do remember; but our argument Is all too heavy to admit much talk. LANCASTER
Well, peace be with him that hath made us heavy. Lord Chief-Justice
Peace be with us, lest we be heavier! GLOUCESTER
O, good my lord, you have lost a friend indeed; And I dare swear you borrow not that face Of seeming
sorrow, it is sure your own. LANCASTER
Though no man be assured what grace to find, You stand in coldest expectation: I am the sorrier; would
'twere otherwise. CLARENCE
Well, you must now speak Sir John Falstaff fair; Which swims against your stream of quality. Lord Chief-Justice
Sweet princes, what I did, I did in honour, Led by the impartial conduct of my soul: And never shall you
see that I will beg A ragged and forestall'd remission. If truth and upright innocency fail me, I'll to the king
my master that is dead, And tell him who hath sent me after him. WARWICK
Here comes the prince.
Enter KING HENRY V, attended Lord Chief-Justice
Good morrow; and God save your majesty! KING HENRY V
This new and gorgeous garment, majesty, Sits not so easy on me as you think. Brothers, you mix your
sadness with some fear: This is the English, not the Turkish court; Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds, But
Harry Harry. Yet be sad, good brothers, For, by my faith, it very well becomes you: Sorrow so royally in
you appears That I will deeply put the fashion on And wear it in my heart: why then, be sad; But entertain
no more of it, good brothers, Than a joint burden laid upon us all. For me, by heaven, I bid you be assured, I'll
be your father and your brother too; Let me but bear your love, I 'll bear your cares: Yet weep that Harry's
dead; and so will I; But Harry lives, that shall convert those tears By number into hours of happiness.
