SCROOP。 That is�察�indeed�察�the thing we all desire。
COBHAM。 My lords and you shall have your choice with me。
CAMBRIDGE。 Nay�察�but the stag which we desire to strike Lives not
in Cowling�察�if you will consent�察�And go with us�察�we'll bring you to a forest�察�
Where runs a lusty herd�察�amongst the which There is a stag superior to the
rest�察�A stately beast that�察�when his fellows run�察�He leads the race�察�and beats
the sullen earth�察�As though he scorned it�察�with his trampling hooves。 Aloft
he bears his head�察 �and with his breast�察 �Like a huge bulwark�察 �counter´
checks the wind�此�And when he standeth still�察�he stretcheth forth His proud
ambitious neck�察�as if he meant To wound the firmament with forked horns。
COBHAM。 Tis pity such a goodly beast should die。
CAMBRIDGE。 Not so�察 �sir John�察 �for he is tyrannous�察�And gores the
other deer�察�and will not keep Within the limits are appointed him。 Of late
he's broke into a several�察�Which doth belong to me�察 �and there he spoils
Both corn and pasture。 Two of his wild race�察 �Alike for stealth and
covetous encroaching�察�Already are removed�察�if he were dead�察�I should not
only be secure from hurt�察�But with his body make a royal feast。
SCROOP。 How say you�察�then�察�will you first hunt with us�拭�
COBHAM。 Faith�察�Lords�察�I like the pastime�察�where's the place〃
CAMBRIDGE。 Peruse this writing�察 �it will shew you all�察 �And what
occasion we have for the sport。

COBHAM。 Call ye this hunting�察�my lords�拭 �Is this the stag You fain
would chaseHarry our dread king�拭�So we may make a banquet for the
devil�察�And in the stead of wholesome meat�察�prepare A dish of poison to
confound our selves。
CAMBRIDGE。 Why so�察�lord Cobham�拭 �See you not our claim�拭�And
how imperiously he holds the crown�拭�
SCROOP。 Besides�察 �you know your self is in disgrace�察 �Held as a
recreant�察�and pursued to death。 This will defend you from your enemies�察�
And stablish your religion through the land。
COBHAM。 Notorious treason� �yet I will conceal ��Aside。�А �My secret
thoughts�察�to sound the depth of it。 My lord of Cambridge�察�I do see your
claim�察�And what good may redound unto the land By prosecuting of this
enterprise。 But where are the men�拭�where's power and furniture To order
such an action�拭 �We are weak�察�Harry�察�you know's a mighty potentate。
CAMBRIDGE。 Tut�察 �we are strong enough�此 �you are beloved�察 �And
many will be glad to follow you�察�We are the like�察�and some will follow us。
Besides�察�there is hope from France�此 �here's an ambassador That promiseth
both men and money too。 The commons likewise ��as we hear�� pretend A
sudden tumult�察�we will join with them。
COBHAM。 Some likelihood�察�I must confess�察�to speed�察�But how shall I
believe this is plain truth�拭�You are�察�my lords�察�such men as live in Court�察�
And highly have been favoured of the king�察�Especially lord Scroop�察�whom
oftentimes He maketh choice of for his bedfellow�察�And you�察�lord Gray�察�
are of his privy counsel�此�Is not this a train to entrap my life�拭�
CAMBRIDGE。 Then perish may my soul� �What�察�think you so�拭�
SCROOP。 We'll swear to you。
GRAY。 Or take the sacrament。
COBHAM。 Nay�察 �you are noble men�察 �and I imagine�察 �As you are
honorable by birth and blood�察�So you will be in heart�察�in thought�察�in word。
I crave no other testimony but this�此�That you would all subscribe�察�and set
your hands Unto this writing which you gave to me。
CAMBRIDGE。 With all our hearts。 Who hath any pen and ink�拭�
SCROOP。 My pocket should have one�此 �yea�察�here it is。
CAMBRIDGE。 Give it me�察�lord Scroop。There is my name。

name with theirs�察 �For confirmation of your master's word�察 �The king of
France。

honors will not away to night。
CAMBRIDGE。 Yes�察�presently�察�for I have far to ride�察�About soliciting
of other friends。
SCROOP。 And we would not be absent from the court�察 �Lest thereby
grow suspicion in the king。
COBHAM。 Yet taste a cup of wine before ye go。
CAMBRIDGE。 Not now�察�my lord�察�we thank you�此 �so farewell。
��Exeunt all but Cobham。�А�
COBHAM。 Farewell�察 �my noble lords。My noble lords�拭 �My noble
villains�察�base conspirators。 How can they look his Highness in the face�察�
Whom they so closely study to betray�拭 �But I'll not sleep until I make it
known。 This head shall not be burdened with such thoughts�察�Nor in this
heart will I conceal a deed Of such impiety against my king。 Madam�察�how
now�拭�
