P. Hen. This is the strangest fellow, brother John. Come, bring your luggage nobly on your back: For my part, if a lie may do thee grace, I'll gild it with the happiest terms I have. [A retreat is sounded. The trumpets sound retreat, the day is ours. Come, brother, let ’s to the highest of the field, To see what friends are living, who are dead. [Exeunt PRINCE HENRY and PRINCE JOHN. Fal. I'll follow, as they say, for reward. He that rewards me, Heaven reward him! If I'do grow great, I 'll grow less; for I 'll purge, and leave sack, and live cleanly, as a nobleman should do. [Exit, bearing off the body. SCENE V.-Another part of the Field. The trumpets sound. Enter KING HENRY, PRINCE HENRY, PRINCE John, WESTMORELAND, and others, with WORCESTER and VERNON, prisoners. K. Hen. Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke. Wor. What I have done my safety urg'd me to; too: Other offenders we will pause upon. [Exeunt WORCESTER and VERNON, guarded. How goes the field ? P. Hen. The noble Scot, lord Douglas, when he saw The fortune of the day quite turn'd from him, The noble Percy slain, and all his men Upon the foot of fear, fled with the rest; And, falling from a hill, he was so bruis'd That the pursuers took him. At my tent The Douglas is; and I beseech your grace I may dispose of him. K. Hen. With all my heart. P. Hen. Then, brother John of Lancaster, to you This honourable bounty shall belong : Go to the Douglas, and deliver him Up to his pleasure, ransomless, and free: His valour, shown upon our crests to-day, Hath taught us how to cherish such high deeds, Even in the bosom of our adversaries. K. Hen. Then this remains,—that we divide our power. You, son John, and my cousin Westmoreland, Towards York shall bend you, with your dearest speed, To meet Northumberland and the prelate Scroop, Who, as we hear, are busily in arms : Myself, and you, son Harry, will towards Wales, To fight with Glendower and the earl of March. Rebellion in this land shall lose his sway, Meeting the check of such another day: And since this business so fair is done, Let us not leave till all our own be won. [Exeunt. END OF KING HENRY IV.
