If I mistake not, thou art Harry Monmouth

Hotspur
If I mistake not, thou art Harry Monmouth.
Prince Hal
Thou speak’st as if I would deny my name.
Hotspur
My name is Harry Percy.

Two stars keep not their motion in one sphere,
Nor can one England brook a double reign
Of Harry Percy and the Prince of Wales.

Prince Hal
Why then I see
A very valiant rebel of the name.
I am the Prince of Wales; and think not, Percy,
To share with me in glory any more.
Two stars keep not their motion in one sphere,
Nor can one England brook a double reign
Of Harry Percy and the Prince of Wales.
Hotspur
Nor  shall it, Harry, for the hour is come
To end the one of us, and would to God
Thy name in arms were now as great as mine.
Prince Hal
I’ll make it greater ere I part from thee,
And all the budding honors on thy crest
I’ll crop to make a garland for my head.
Hotspur
I can no longer brook thy vanities.
 They fight.
