Westmoreland

Here is a dear, a true-industrious friend

Read the Quote

Henry IV
Here is a dear, a true-industrious friend,
Sir Walter Blunt, new lighted from his horse,
Stained with the variation of each soil
Betwixt that Holmedon and this seat of ours,
And he hath brought us smooth and welcome news.

O, that it could be proved

Health and fair greeting from our general,
The Prince Lord John and Duke of Lancaster.
Archbishop

Your pens to lances, and your tongue divine
To a loud trumpet and a point of war

That you should have an inch of any ground
To build a grief on.

Read the Quote

Westmoreland
O, that we now had here
But one ten thousand of those men in England
That do no work today.

All things are ready if our minds be so.

King Henry
What’s he that wishes so?
My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin.
If we are marked to die, we are enough
To do our country loss;

Health to my sovereign, and new happiness

Read the Quote

Westmoreland 
Health to my sovereign, and new happiness
Added to that that I am to deliver.
Prince John your son doth kiss your Grace’s hand.
Mowbray, the Bishop Scroop, Hastings, and all
Are brought to the correction of your law.
There is not now a rebel’s sword unsheathed,
But peace puts forth her olive everywhere.

O Westmoreland,

According to their firm proposèd natures.
