<H3>SCENE III. The same.</h3>

<p><blockquote>
<i>Alarums, excursions, retreat. Enter KING JOHN,  QUEEN ELINOR, ARTHUR, the BASTARD, HUBERT, and Lords</i>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech1><b>KING JOHN</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1>[To QUEEN ELINOR]  So shall it be; your grace shall</A><br>
<A NAME=2>stay behind</A><br>
<A NAME=3>So strongly guarded.</A><br>
<p><i>To ARTHUR</i></p>
<A NAME=4>Cousin, look not sad:</A><br>
<A NAME=5>Thy grandam loves thee; and thy uncle will</A><br>
<A NAME=6>As dear be to thee as thy father was.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech2><b>ARTHUR</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=7>O, this will make my mother die with grief!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech3><b>KING JOHN</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=8>[To the BASTARD]  Cousin, away for England!</A><br>
<A NAME=9>haste before:</A><br>
<A NAME=10>And, ere our coming, see thou shake the bags</A><br>
<A NAME=11>Of hoarding abbots; imprisoned angels</A><br>
<A NAME=12>Set at liberty: the fat ribs of peace</A><br>
<A NAME=13>Must by the hungry now be fed upon:</A><br>
<A NAME=14>Use our commission in his utmost force.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech4><b>BASTARD</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=15>Bell, book, and candle shall not drive me back,</A><br>
<A NAME=16>When gold and silver becks me to come on.</A><br>
<A NAME=17>I leave your highness. Grandam, I will pray,</A><br>
<A NAME=18>If ever I remember to be holy,</A><br>
<A NAME=19>For your fair safety; so, I kiss your hand.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech5><b>ELINOR</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=20>Farewell, gentle cousin.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech6><b>KING JOHN</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=21>Coz, farewell.</A><br>
<p><i>Exit the BASTARD</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech7><b>QUEEN ELINOR</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=22>Come hither, little kinsman; hark, a word.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech8><b>KING JOHN</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=23>Come hither, Hubert. O my gentle Hubert,</A><br>
<A NAME=24>We owe thee much! within this wall of flesh</A><br>
<A NAME=25>There is a soul counts thee her creditor</A><br>
<A NAME=26>And with advantage means to pay thy love:</A><br>
<A NAME=27>And my good friend, thy voluntary oath</A><br>
<A NAME=28>Lives in this bosom, dearly cherished.</A><br>
<A NAME=29>Give me thy hand. I had a thing to say,</A><br>
<A NAME=30>But I will fit it with some better time.</A><br>
<A NAME=31>By heaven, Hubert, I am almost ashamed</A><br>
<A NAME=32>To say what good respect I have of thee.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech9><b>HUBERT</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=33>I am much bounden to your majesty.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech10><b>KING JOHN</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=34>Good friend, thou hast no cause to say so yet,</A><br>
<A NAME=35>But thou shalt have; and creep time ne'er so slow,</A><br>
<A NAME=36>Yet it shall come from me to do thee good.</A><br>
<A NAME=37>I had a thing to say, but let it go:</A><br>
<A NAME=38>The sun is in the heaven, and the proud day,</A><br>
<A NAME=39>Attended with the pleasures of the world,</A><br>
<A NAME=40>Is all too wanton and too full of gawds</A><br>
<A NAME=41>To give me audience: if the midnight bell</A><br>
<A NAME=42>Did, with his iron tongue and brazen mouth,</A><br>
<A NAME=43>Sound on into the drowsy race of night;</A><br>
<A NAME=44>If this same were a churchyard where we stand,</A><br>
<A NAME=45>And thou possessed with a thousand wrongs,</A><br>
<A NAME=46>Or if that surly spirit, melancholy,</A><br>
<A NAME=47>Had baked thy blood and made it heavy-thick,</A><br>
<A NAME=48>Which else runs tickling up and down the veins,</A><br>
<A NAME=49>Making that idiot, laughter, keep men's eyes</A><br>
<A NAME=50>And strain their cheeks to idle merriment,</A><br>
<A NAME=51>A passion hateful to my purposes,</A><br>
<A NAME=52>Or if that thou couldst see me without eyes,</A><br>
<A NAME=53>Hear me without thine ears, and make reply</A><br>
<A NAME=54>Without a tongue, using conceit alone,</A><br>
<A NAME=55>Without eyes, ears and harmful sound of words;</A><br>
<A NAME=56>Then, in despite of brooded watchful day,</A><br>
<A NAME=57>I would into thy bosom pour my thoughts:</A><br>
<A NAME=58>But, ah, I will not! yet I love thee well;</A><br>
<A NAME=59>And, by my troth, I think thou lovest me well.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech11><b>HUBERT</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=60>So well, that what you bid me undertake,</A><br>
<A NAME=61>Though that my death were adjunct to my act,</A><br>
<A NAME=62>By heaven, I would do it.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech12><b>KING JOHN</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=63>Do not I know thou wouldst?</A><br>
<A NAME=64>Good Hubert, Hubert, Hubert, throw thine eye</A><br>
<A NAME=65>On yon young boy: I'll tell thee what, my friend,</A><br>
<A NAME=66>He is a very serpent in my way;</A><br>
<A NAME=67>And whereso'er this foot of mine doth tread,</A><br>
<A NAME=68>He lies before me: dost thou understand me?</A><br>
<A NAME=69>Thou art his keeper.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech13><b>HUBERT</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=70>And I'll keep him so,</A><br>
<A NAME=71>That he shall not offend your majesty.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech14><b>KING JOHN</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=72>Death.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech15><b>HUBERT</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=73>My lord?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech16><b>KING JOHN</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=74>       A grave.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech17><b>HUBERT</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=75>                  He shall not live.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech18><b>KING JOHN</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=76>Enough.</A><br>
<A NAME=77>I could be merry now. Hubert, I love thee;</A><br>
<A NAME=78>Well, I'll not say what I intend for thee:</A><br>
<A NAME=79>Remember. Madam, fare you well:</A><br>
<A NAME=80>I'll send those powers o'er to your majesty.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech19><b>ELINOR</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=81>My blessing go with thee!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech20><b>KING JOHN</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=82>For England, cousin, go:</A><br>
<A NAME=83>Hubert shall be your man, attend on you</A><br>
<A NAME=84>With all true duty. On toward Calais, ho!</A><br>
<p><i>Exeunt</i></p>
