info = '''SCENE I. Yorkshire. Gaultree Forest.
3+
4+
Enter the ARCHBISHOP OF YORK, MOWBRAY, LORD HASTINGS, and others
5+
ARCHBISHOP OF YORK
6+
What is this forest call'd?
7+
HASTINGS
8+
'Tis Gaultree Forest, an't shall please your grace.
9+
ARCHBISHOP OF YORK
10+
Here stand, my lords; and send discoverers forth
11+
To know the numbers of our enemies.
12+
HASTINGS
13+
We have sent forth already.
14+
ARCHBISHOP OF YORK
15+
'Tis well done.
16+
My friends and brethren in these great affairs,
17+
I must acquaint you that I have received
18+
New-dated letters from Northumberland;
19+
Their cold intent, tenor and substance, thus:
20+
Here doth he wish his person, with such powers
21+
As might hold sortance with his quality,
22+
The which he could not levy; whereupon
23+
He is retired, to ripe his growing fortunes,
24+
To Scotland: and concludes in hearty prayers
25+
That your attempts may overlive the hazard
26+
And fearful melting of their opposite.
27+
MOWBRAY
28+
Thus do the hopes we have in him touch ground
29+
And dash themselves to pieces.
30+
Enter a Messenger
31+
32+
HASTINGS
33+
Now, what news?
34+
Messenger
35+
West of this forest, scarcely off a mile,
36+
In goodly form comes on the enemy;
37+
And, by the ground they hide, I judge their number
38+
Upon or near the rate of thirty thousand.
39+
MOWBRAY
40+
The just proportion that we gave them out
41+
Let us sway on and face them in the field.
42+
ARCHBISHOP OF YORK
43+
What well-appointed leader fronts us here?
44+
Enter WESTMORELAND
45+
46+
MOWBRAY
47+
I think it is my Lord of Westmoreland.
48+
WESTMORELAND
49+
Health and fair greeting from our general,
50+
The prince, Lord John and Duke of Lancaster.
51+
ARCHBISHOP OF YORK
52+
Say on, my Lord of Westmoreland, in peace:
53+
What doth concern your coming?
54+
WESTMORELAND
55+
Then, my lord,
56+
Unto your grace do I in chief address
57+
The substance of my speech. If that rebellion
58+
Came like itself, in base and abject routs,
59+
Led on by bloody youth, guarded with rags,
60+
And countenanced by boys and beggary,
61+
I say, if damn'd commotion so appear'd,
62+
In his true, native and most proper shape,
63+
You, reverend father, and these noble lords
64+
Had not been here, to dress the ugly form
65+
Of base and bloody insurrection
66+
With your fair honours. You, lord archbishop,
67+
Whose see is by a civil peace maintained,
68+
Whose beard the silver hand of peace hath touch'd,
69+
Whose learning and good letters peace hath tutor'd,
70+
Whose white investments figure innocence,
71+
The dove and very blessed spirit of peace,
72+
Wherefore do you so ill translate ourself
73+
Out of the speech of peace that bears such grace,
74+
Into the harsh and boisterous tongue of war;
75+
Turning your books to graves, your ink to blood,
76+
Your pens to lances and your tongue divine
77+
To a trumpet and a point of war?
78+
ARCHBISHOP OF YORK
79+
Wherefore do I this? so the question stands.
80+
Briefly to this end: we are all diseased,
81+
And with our surfeiting and wanton hours
82+
Have brought ourselves into a burning fever,
83+
And we must bleed for it; of which disease
84+
Our late king, Richard, being infected, died.
85+
But, my most noble Lord of Westmoreland,
86+
I take not on me here as a physician,
87+
Nor do I as an enemy to peace
88+
Troop in the throngs of military men;
89+
But rather show awhile like fearful war,
90+
To diet rank minds sick of happiness
91+
And purge the obstructions which begin to stop
92+
Our very veins of life. Hear me more plainly.
93+
I have in equal balance justly weigh'd
94+
What wrongs our arms may do, what wrongs we suffer,
95+
And find our griefs heavier than our offences.
96+
We see which way the stream of time doth run,
97+
And are enforced from our most quiet there
98+
By the rough torrent of occasion;
99+
And have the summary of all our griefs,
100+
When time shall serve, to show in articles;
101+
Which long ere this we offer'd to the king,
102+
And might by no suit gain our audience:
103+
When we are wrong'd and would unfold our griefs,
104+
We are denied access unto his person
105+
Even by those men that most have done us wrong.
106+
The dangers of the days but newly gone,
107+
Whose memory is written on the earth
108+
With yet appearing blood, and the examples
109+
Of every minute's instance, present now,
110+
Hath put us in these ill-beseeming arms,
111+
Not to break peace or any branch of it,
112+
But to establish here a peace indeed,
113+
Concurring both in name and quality.
114+
WESTMORELAND
115+
When ever yet was your appeal denied?
116+
Wherein have you been galled by the king?
117+
What peer hath been suborn'd to grate on you,
118+
That you should seal this lawless bloody book
119+
Of forged rebellion with a seal divine
120+
And consecrate commotion's bitter edge?
121+
ARCHBISHOP OF YORK
122+
My brother general, the commonwealth,
123+
To brother born an household cruelty,
124+
I make my quarrel in particular.
125+
WESTMORELAND
126+
There is no need of any such redress;
127+
Or if there were, it not belongs to you.
128+
MOWBRAY
129+
Why not to him in part, and to us all
130+
That feel the bruises of the days before,
131+
And suffer the condition of these times
132+
To lay a heavy and unequal hand
133+
Upon our honours?
134+
WESTMORELAND
135+
O, my good Lord Mowbray,
136+
Construe the times to their necessities,
137+
And you shall say indeed, it is the time,
138+
And not the king, that doth you injuries.
139+
Yet for your part, it not appears to me
140+
Either from the king or in the present time
141+
That you should have an inch of any ground
142+
To build a grief on: were you not restored
143+
To all the Duke of Norfolk's signories,
144+
Your noble and right well remember'd father's?
145+
MOWBRAY
146+
What thing, in honour, had my father lost,
147+
That need to be revived and breathed in me?
148+
The king that loved him, as the state stood then,
149+
Was force perforce compell'd to banish him:
150+
And then that Harry Bolingbroke and he,
151+
Being mounted and both roused in their seats,
152+
Their neighing coursers daring of the spur,
153+
Their armed staves in charge, their beavers down,
154+
Their eyes of fire sparking through sights of steel
155+
And the loud trumpet blowing them together,
156+
Then, then, when there was nothing could have stay'd
157+
My father from the breast of Bolingbroke,
158+
O when the king did throw his warder down,
159+
His own life hung upon the staff he threw;
160+
Then threw he down himself and all their lives
161+
That by indictment and by dint of sword
162+
Have since miscarried under Bolingbroke.
163+
WESTMORELAND
164+
You speak, Lord Mowbray, now you know not what.
165+
The Earl of Hereford was reputed then
166+
In England the most valiant gentlemen:
167+
Who knows on whom fortune would then have smiled?
168+
But if your father had been victor there,
169+
He ne'er had borne it out of Coventry:
170+
For all the country in a general voice
171+
Cried hate upon him; and all their prayers and love
172+
Were set on Hereford, whom they doted on
173+
And bless'd and graced indeed, more than the king.
174+
But this is mere digression from my purpose.
175+
Here come I from our princely general
176+
To know your griefs; to tell you from his grace
177+
That he will give you audience; and wherein
178+
It shall appear that your demands are just,
179+
You shall enjoy them, every thing set off
180+
That might so much as think you enemies.
181+
MOWBRAY
182+
But he hath forced us to compel this offer;
183+
And it proceeds from policy, not love.
184+
WESTMORELAND
185+
Mowbray, you overween to take it so;
186+
This offer comes from mercy, not from fear:
187+
For, lo! within a ken our army lies,
188+
Upon mine honour, all too confident
189+
To give admittance to a thought of fear.
190+
Our battle is more full of names than yours,
191+
Our men more perfect in the use of arms,
192+
Our armour all as strong, our cause the best;
193+
Then reason will our heart should be as good
194+
Say you not then our offer is compell'd.
195+
MOWBRAY
196+
Well, by my will we shall admit no parley.
197+
WESTMORELAND
198+
That argues but the shame of your offence:
199+
A rotten case abides no handling.
200+
HASTINGS
201+
Hath the Prince John a full commission,
202+
In very ample virtue of his father,
203+
To hear and absolutely to determine
204+
Of what conditions we shall stand upon?
205+
WESTMORELAND
206+
That is intended in the general's name:
207+
I muse you make so slight a question.
208+
ARCHBISHOP OF YORK
209+
Then take, my Lord of Westmoreland, this schedule,
210+
For this contains our general grievances:
211+
Each several article herein redress'd,
212+
All members of our cause, both here and hence,
213+
That are insinew'd to this action,
214+
Acquitted by a true substantial form
215+
And present execution of our wills
216+
To us and to our purposes confined,
217+
We come within our awful banks again
218+
And knit our powers to the arm of peace.
219+
WESTMORELAND
220+
This will I show the general. Please you, lords,
221+
In sight of both our battles we may meet;
222+
And either end in peace, which God so frame!
223+
Or to the place of difference call the swords
224+
Which must decide it.
225+
ARCHBISHOP OF YORK
226+
My lord, we will do so.
227+
Exit WESTMORELAND
228+
229+
MOWBRAY
230+
There is a thing within my bosom tells me
231+
That no conditions of our peace can stand.
232+
HASTINGS
233+
Fear you not that: if we can make our peace
234+
Upon such large terms and so absolute
235+
As our conditions shall consist upon,
236+
Our peace shall stand as firm as rocky mountains.
237+
MOWBRAY
238+
Yea, but our valuation shall be such
239+
That every slight and false-derived cause,
240+
Yea, every idle, nice and wanton reason
241+
Shall to the king taste of this action;
242+
That, were our royal faiths martyrs in love,
243+
We shall be winnow'd with so rough a wind
244+
That even our corn shall seem as light as chaff
245+
And good from bad find no partition.
246+
ARCHBISHOP OF YORK
247+
No, no, my lord. Note this; the king is weary
248+
Of dainty and such picking grievances:
249+
For he hath found to end one doubt by death
250+
Revives two greater in the heirs of life,
251+
And therefore will he wipe his tables clean
252+
And keep no tell-tale to his memory
253+
That may repeat and history his loss
254+
To new remembrance; for full well he knows
255+
He cannot so precisely weed this land
256+
As his misdoubts present occasion:
257+
His foes are so enrooted with his friends
258+
That, plucking to unfix an enemy,
259+
He doth unfasten so and shake a friend:
260+
So that this land, like an offensive wife
261+
That hath enraged him on to offer strokes,
262+
As he is striking, holds his infant up
263+
And hangs resolved correction in the arm
264+
That was uprear'd to execution.
265+
HASTINGS
266+
Besides, the king hath wasted all his rods
267+
On late offenders, that he now doth lack
268+
The very instruments of chastisement:
269+
So that his power, like to a fangless lion,
270+
May offer, but not hold.
271+
ARCHBISHOP OF YORK
272+
'Tis very true:
273+
And therefore be assured, my good lord marshal,
274+
If we do now make our atonement well,
275+
Our peace will, like a broken limb united,
276+
Grow stronger for the breaking.
277+
MOWBRAY
278+
Be it so.
279+
Here is return'd my Lord of Westmoreland.
280+
Re-enter WESTMORELAND
281+
282+
WESTMORELAND
283+
The prince is here at hand: pleaseth your lordship
284+
To meet his grace just distance 'tween our armies.
285+
MOWBRAY
286+
Your grace of York, in God's name then, set forward.
287+
ARCHBISHOP OF YORK
288+
Before, and greet his grace: my lord, we come.
