King Henry the Sixth Act 1 Scene 1: Java Game
Dukes of Bedford , Gloster and Exeter:
|
A | B |
Hung be the heavens with black,, | yield day to night! |
Comets, importing change | of times and states, |
Brandish your crystal tresses | in the sky, |
And with them scourge | the bad revolting stars |
That have consented | unto Henry's death! |
Henry the Fifth, | too famous to live long! |
England ne'er lost a king | of so much worth. |
England ne'er had a king | until his time. |
Virtue he had, | deserving to command: |
His brandisht sword | did blind men with his beams; |
His arms spread wider | than a dragon's wings; |
His sparkling eyes, | replete with wrathful fire, |
More dazzled and drove back | his enemies |
Than mid-day sun fierce bent | against their faces. |
What should I say? | his deeds exceed all speech: |
He ne'erlife up his hand, | but conquered. |
We mourn in black: | why mourn we not in blood? |
Henry is dead, | and never shall revive: |
Upon a wooden coffin | we attend; |
And death's | dishonourable victory |
We with our stately | presence glorify, |
Like captive bound | to a triumphant car. |
What! shall we curse | the planets of mishap |
That plotted thus | our glory's overthrow? |
Or shall we think | the subtle witted French |
conjurers and sorcerers, | that, afraid of him, |
By magic verses | have contrived his end? |
