esty is take out of the helmet
of Alencon.
_Will._ (R.C.) My liege, this was my glove; here is the fellow of it;
and he that I gave it to in change promised to wear it in his cap:
I promised to strike him, if he did: I met this man with my glove in his
cap, and I have been as good as my word.
_Flu._ Your majesty hear now (saving your majesty's manhood) what an
arrant, rascally, beggarly, lowsy knave it is: I hope, your majesty is
pear me testimony, and witness, and avouchments, that this is the glove
of Alencon, that your majesty is give me, in your conscience, now.
_K. Hen._ Give me thy glove, soldier: Look, here is the fellow of it.
'Twas I, indeed, thou promised'st to strike; and thou hast given me most
bitter terms.
[_WILLIAMS falls on his knee._
_Flu._ An please your majesty, let his neck answer for it, if there is
any martial law in the 'orld.
_K. Hen._ How can'st thou make me satisfaction?
_Will._ All offences, my liege, come from the heart: never came any from
mine, that might offend your majesty.
_K. Hen._ It was ourself thou didst abuse.
_Will._ Your majesty came not like yourself: you appeared to me but as a
common man; witness the night, your garments, your lowliness; and what
your highness suffered under that shape, I beseech you, take it for your
own fault, and not mine: for had you been as I took you for, I made no
offence; therefore, I beseech your highness, pardon me.
_K. Hen._ Here, uncle Exeter, fill this glove with crowns,
And give it to this fellow.-- (_WILLIAMS rises._) Keep it, fellow;
And wear it for an honour in thy cap
Till I do challenge it.--Give him the crowns:--
And, captain, you must needs be friends with him.
[_The KING goes up the stage with EXETER, BEDFORD, and GLOSTER._
_Flu._ By this day and this light, the fellow has mettle enough in his
pelly.--Hold, there is twelve pence for you; and I pray you to serve
Heaven, and keep you out of prawls, and prabbles, and quarrels, and
dissensions, and, I warrant you, it is the petter for you.
_Will._ I will none of your money.
_Flu._ It is with a goot will; I can tell you, it will serve you to mend
your shoes: Come, wherefore should you be so pashful? your shoes is not
so goot: 'tis a goot silling, I warrant you, or I will change it.
