THRICE HEROES ARMED WHEN HONOURED WIVES GIVE ARE COUNSEL. LADY PERCY. to these wars! O, yet, for God's sake, go not The time was, father, that you broke your word, When you were more endear'd to it than now; When your own Percy, when my heart's dear Harry, Threw many a northward look to see his father For yours, may heavenly glory brighten it! To do brave acts; he was, indeed, the glass Became the accents of the valiant ; For those that could speak low, and tardily, In military rules, humours of blood, him! O miracle of men!-him did you leave, (Second to none, unseconded by you,) To look upon the hideous god of war In disadvantage; to abide a field, Where nothing but the sound of Hotspur's name Did seem defensible;-so you left him : K. HENRY IV., PART II., A. 2, s. 3. JOY OF BOON COMPANIONSHIP. BOLINGBROKE. Berkley now? NORTHUMBERLAND. Believe me, noble lord, I am a stranger here in Glostershire. How far is it, my lord, to These high wild hills, and rough uneven ways, Than hope enjoy'd: by this the weary lords Shall make their way seem short; as mine hath done By sight of what I have, your noble company.

Ir pleas'd your majesty, to turn your looks Of favour, from myself and all our house; And yet I must remember you, my lord, We were the first and dearest of your friends. For you, my staff of office did I break In Richard's time; and posted day and night To meet you on the way, and kiss your hand, When yet you were in place and in account Nothing so strong and fortunate as I. It was myself, my brother, and his son, That brought you home, and boldly did outdare The dangers of the time: You swore to us,And you did swear that oath at Doncaster, That you did nothing purpose 'gainst the state; Nor claim no further than your new-fall'n right, The seat of Gaunt, dukedom of Lancaster: To this we swore our aid.
