[Transcriber's Note:

This is not the text of _Henry V_ as written by Shakespeare. It is an
acting version produced by Charles Kean in 1859. Approximate scene
correspondences are listed at the end of the e-text.

The original book had three types of notes. Footnotes, marked with
asterisks or numbers, were printed at the bottom of the page. Longer
notes, marked with letters, were printed at the end of each Act as
"Historical Notes". For this e-text the asterisked notes are printed
immediately after their paragraph, while numbered footnotes are
collected at the end of each scene. The Historical Notes remain in
their original location, as does the Interlude between Acts IV and V
(printed as a very long asterisked footnote). The original numbering
has been retained.]
