Chapter 17 second act

overture Trumpets play coloratura.Enter the speaker. Speech Now, young people all over England, burning like fire in their hearts, take off the brocade robes from the banquet and put them in the wardrobe--it is fashionable to wear military uniforms now!What boils in every man's breast is the ambition to do honor to his country; they sell their cattle and sheep to buy horses, and put wings on their feet, like English angels, to follow the king of kings.Now, there is a hope floating everywhere, covering the shining sword from the scabbard, so that people can only see the crown, diadem, and aristocratic tiaras about to fall on Henry and his left and right heads.The French, who knew that we were preparing our troops, trembled with terror, and tried to bend the will of the British by tricks.Ah, England!You are but a miniature model of your grandeur -- a gigantic heart beating in your tiny body! How much "honor" expects from you, and how many great achievements you could have made. If all your children are filial, they will all have a conscience!But behold your trouble!France unearthed in you a brood of heartless men, And he filled his empty breasts with poisoned gold; three traitors out of conscience (one, Richard Earl of Cambridge; the second, Lord Scroup of Marsham; the third, Thomas Gray--Sir Northumberland), only to covet the shining gold and silver of the French--O the black crime! --with the terrified Frenchman in private, to take the Holy King's life with their own hands--that is, while he stays at Sawthornton before embarking on his galley for France.Could it be that they were secretly helped by the devil to realize their conspiracy?Audiences, please be patient and help us shrink the long distance without showing any traces, so as to make up such a play!Besides, the money was paid, the three traitors made their promises, and the present Emperor set off from London; the scene was—attention, everyone, shifted to Saul Thornton.Our theatrical garden has since moved there; all gentlemen are sitting there now.From there we shall transport you safely to France, and return you from there.Let us mutter words, and wish the strait, laden with calm, calm—and not give any of the onlookers a sick stomach, if we can.But we must wait until the King of England appears, before we come to Saw Thornton; before this, we are still in the same place. (Down.)

First London.street Enter Nim and Bardolph. Nice to meet you Bardolph, nice to meet you, Corporal Nim. Good morning Nim, Lieutenant Bardolph. Bardolph Uh, have the flag officer Pistol become friends with you now? Nim Take me for example, I don't care--I don't say anything--Maybe someday I'll talk and laugh--but we'll see. "I don't have the guts to fight a duel!"—but with my eyes closed, I can always push this iron guy forward—what's so great about it! ――But so what?It can be used to bake cheese, and like other knives, it is not afraid of catching cold-I will stop here.

Bardolph, I'd like to invite you to a lunch to win you two over, and the three of us will go to France as sworn brothers.So be it, good Captain Nim. Nim, yes, I will live it for a few more years as long as I can—that’s needless to say; one day I can’t last, and I’ll be done—that’s my idea, my last resort. Bardolph is right, corporal, he married Mrs. Kuai Zui Gui; needless to say, she is sorry for you—you and her have long been engaged. How can Nim tell me that there are many things that can't be helped.When someone lay down, the neck was still growing well under the chin, but... people say that the knife cuts quickly.That's the way it is, you can't control it.Although a man's patience is like that of a worn-out horse, sooner or later the horse will catch up with him step by step.Don't worry, sooner or later there will be a solution.Well, I don't know how to say it!

Bardolph Pistol, the bannerman, and his wife come.Good corporal, hold back a little. Enter Pistol and the landlady. What's the matter with Bardolph, my innkeeper Pistol! Pistol's vile dog, how dare you call me "Shopkeeper"?Listen, I swear by my hands against this title; and my Nell will never keep a lodger again. Not the proprietress, I swear, I'm about to stop hiring tenants!Because if we keep thirteen or four women—although they are all good women, well-behaved, and make a living by sewing—they will think you are opening a brothel.Oh, my mother, look at him with all his swords drawn! (Nim draws his sword, Pistol also draws his sword) We're going to have a murder case here!

Bardolph Good lieutenant!Good corporal!This is not a place for heroes. Nim bah! Pistol you bah!bulldog!You prick-eared lap dog. Proprietor, good Corporal Nim, be a good man and put away your sword. Nim will follow me, okay?We are "together"! Pistol "total"?You rare and rare vicious dog!O cunning viper!This "right size" is on your No. 1 face; this "right size" is between your teeth—in your throat—in your nasty mouth. In the lungs—yes, in your dog's stomach—granny's, and worse, in your dog's mouth!I repay you with the "right size"⑤ in your guts, because yes, I know how to shoot; because yes, Pistol's trigger⑥ is already raised, and a flame is about to shoot out!

Nim, I'm not a Babasong devil. You can't subdue me with your words.I can't wait to beat you up without pain.Pistol, if you're against me, I'll kill you with this sword--I can do it--and it's a beautiful job, if you come with me.I'm going to pick your guts out, I can do it--and do it right--that's right. Pistol, you bragging, wild, damned bastard!The grave has opened its mouth, and death beckons over your head; so, show your knife! Bardolph listen, listen to me, if anyone dares to use force first, I will not stab him with a sword, he is not considered a soldier.

Pistol’s words were so powerful, they dispelled people’s anger.Give me your fist -- give me your front paw!Hey, your guts are not small! Sooner or later, Nim, tell me to slit your throat--and do it beautifully.I have such a hand. Pistol Coupelagorge ⑦!That's the right way to say it!I will not take your teaching again.Ah, you dog of Crete, are you going to snatch the sissy from my bed?No, I advise you not to think about it!Run to the hospital, there is a smelly "bacon barrel"⑧, go there and find a leper like Cressida - her name is Taoer, go and recognize her as yours Sister-in-law, as for me, the sister-in-law of Kuaizui Gui back then is mine, and from now on it can only be mine; such a good woman dare say that there are few in the world!Just a few words, and here we go--no more.Enter the boy who waits on Falstaff.

Tonger, my shopkeeper Pistol, you must come and see my master, and you, proprietress——he is very sick, and he is about to lie down.Good Bardolph, put that face of yours under the quilt, and make him a soup-jug—I mean, he's very ill. Bardolph, go away, you little rascal! The proprietress told the truth, there would come a day when he would have to serve the crow as a snack.It was the emperor who broke his heart.Good husband, come home early. (Exit the proprietress and Tong'er.) Bardolph Come, listen to me, and you two will be friends?We're all going to France, why the hell are we still holding up our knives, thinking you'll kill me and I'll kill you.

Pistol makes the floods run, and the devil howls because there is nothing to eat! NIM Then you owed me eight shillings for gambling last time, and you don't pay it now? Pistor's cheapest slave is the only one who pays back the money. Nim, I'm asking you for money now, that's the right thing to do. This is how Mr. Pistol solves the problem: look at the sword! (The two draw their swords.) Bardolph, I hold this sword to talk, whoever makes a move first, I will ask him to eat the sword first; this sword is definitely not for talking to you. After all, Pistol's sword is a sword, and swearing with a sword is no child's play.

Corporal Bardolphnim, make friends, if you can; and if you won't, hey, consider me your enemy too.Come on, put away the sword. Nim So you didn't pay me the eight shillings you owed me for gambling last time? Pistol pays you back six and a half, on the spot, and buys you a drink without asking you to pay.Let's just be sworn brothers——I live for Nim, and Nim lives for me, isn't that fair and true?Listen to me, I've already contracted out the food in the barracks, so it's going to be a mess.give me your hand Nim you give me back six and a half? Pistol paid on the spot, not a penny.

Well Nim, that's right. Re-enter the proprietress. Landlord, if all you men come out of women's bellies, run in and see Sir John.Alas, poor man!He was suffering from typhoid fever, and he was almost burnt out. It's really distressing to see!Come to him quickly, good man. Nim's current emperor had a fit of temper with Sir, and he was pissed off--that's all. You are right, Bistornim, that his heart is made up, and one corner is missing. Emperor Nim is a good emperor, but he can't help it. A good emperor sometimes loses his temper. PISTOL Let us go and condolence sir; we've got to live, little sheep. (same below.) Thornton was swept in the second game.Xing Yuan Enter Exeter, Bedford, and Westmoreland. God Peifu, the emperor is too careless to trust these traitors. Exeter, when the time came, made it impossible for them to escape. Westmoreland saw how serene and calm their demeanor was, as if they were all loyal and loyal, and no matter how much they thought about it, the first thing that came to mind was to serve the country and do their best! The emperor knows all the intentions of Peifu and the others—the letters have fallen into our hands, and they haven't even dreamed of it! Exeter would never have thought; but who would have thought that the man whom the emperor once called him to bed with, and piled upon him with stacks of favors, would do treacherous tricks to covet foreign coins , ready to betray the life of the current emperor. Horn sound.Enter KING HENRY, with Scroop, Cambridge, Gray, and attendants. KING HENRY Now, when the wind is fair, we're going aboard.My Earl of Cambridge and my lord of Skopsin, and you, my good sir, give your opinion; You think we have enough forces to break through the French army and accomplish this expedition, To achieve our goal of working hard? Scroop That need not be asked, sire, if every man does his best. KING HENRY I do not doubt this, for I am convinced that there is not one who follows us who is not with us; and there is not one who stays who does not wish victory and success to be ours. Never has a king in Cambridge been so loved and feared by his subjects as Your Majesty.Under your benevolent government, there is no one who complains and complains--in my opinion, there is no one else. Gray is right.Back then, the king had many enemies, and they all forgot their old grudges long ago. They were sincerely convinced, and came to serve you loyally with duty and enthusiasm. KING HENRY Then we have a thousand reasons to be thankful; and if we forget how to use our hands,Never forget to reward those who do this country with rewards. Scrump made everyone use their strength like steel - because with "hope" as a companion, even if it is hard, they must be endlessly loyal to His Majesty. KING HENRY So I reckon so.Uncle Exeter, release the man who was in prison yesterday; he drank too much yesterday, dared to scold me, but I think it's the wine that tires him.Now that he is awake and understands, let him be spared. His Majesty Scrupp is really merciful, but also too indulgent.Punish him, Your Majesty, I'm afraid that if he is spared so easily, the bad guys will follow his example. King Henry, let us be merciful! Cambridge Yes, Your Majesty can give both kindness and power. Your Majesty Gray, you are doing me a favour, by letting him have a good taste of the punishment, by letting him live. KING HENRY Oh, you love me so much, and care me so much, That you make so much trouble with that poor wretch!If a person commits a small mistake in a moment of confusion, we are not willing to close our eyes and pretend not to see it; then, once the calculated and deliberate first-class sin appears in front of us, how wide should our eyes be? Woolen cloth?We resolved to release the man, though Cambridge, Scroop, Gray, so kindly cared for me personally, that he should be punished.Now back to the French question.Who is the newly appointed "consul"? Cambridge I am one of them, Your Majesty.Your Majesty bade me make this request today. Scroop You bid me so, my lord. Gray and I, my lord. KING HENRY Then Earl of Cambridge, here is your commission; here is yours, Lord Scroup; and this is yours, Sir Gray.Please open it and read it, so that if you know it, you know your benefits.Earl of Westmoreland, Uncle Exeter, we are sailing tonight. (to the traitor) Oh, what's the matter, Minister!What did you see on the document? ——I don’t even have any blood left!Look how powerful they have become!Their faces became a blank sheet of paper.What's the matter, what did you see on it that scared you so much that you lost even a trace of blood? Cambridge, I admit my guilt, please forgive me! Gray Scroop We all beg. KING HENRY My compassion always springs up spontaneously, but your own ideas just now have extinguished it and dispelled it.If you still have the slightest shame, don't dare to mention "compassion"; because your own words, like a vicious dog that turns back on its master, will pierce your heart and torture you .Princes and noble ministers, behold--look at these monsters of England!Here is the Earl of Cambridge, and you all know how well we have treated him, and honored him with all the splendor due to his position.And this man, for a few quid, lightly conspired with the French, and swore to them that he would murder me at Saul Thornton. (to Grey) For this money, this gentleman, who owes us as much as Cambridge, has sworn to the enemy as well.But, ah!What shall I say to you--Lord Scroop?You vicious, ungrateful, conscienceless beast!All my decisions are in your hands, and my soul has been seen by you all the time. If you really want money, you can turn me into pieces of gold coins with a little skill.Could it be that a bribe from a foreigner can actually seduce you to do the next bad thing, even if it's just to make a finger on my body feel bad?How incomprehensible this is, even though this matter has been clearly black and white, and it is placed in front of me, my eyes still refuse to believe it. The pair of "rebellion" and "murder" are always kinked together, like a pair of devils who are put on the same yoke and swear each other for the same mission-this is self-evident, so Although we were shocked, we did not show any surprise.But you, you have indeed violated the common sense of the world, and you have also won an exclamation for "rebellion" and "murder".That cunning devil—no matter who he is, who can lure you over beyond reason like this, he will be unanimously praised in hell: "He really has this ability!" You have to be coy and coy about the way, and you have to piece together all kinds of things to make a cloak that looks like a holy one, and put it on that unreasonable "sin"; but the one who puts you in his hands, The devil who wants you to do his bidding, he won't give you any excuse--"Why are you traitor?"--no reason, unless he wants to call you a traitor.That's the devil who tricks you in this way, and if he walks all over the world with the tiger's trot, and returns to the endless hell, to the middle of his ranks, he can say to his companions: "I never did this. How easy it is to deceive a man's soul, as I deceived this Englishman!" Alas!What suspicion you have brought to the "trust" of harmony!Look, people are not very loyal?Hey, why don't you be like this.Isn't he knowledgeable and serious?Hey, why don't you be like this.Are they from a noble family?Well, why don't you.Aren't they very pious?Well, why don't you.People are not greedy for food and drink, their expressions are calm, their emotions are not displayed, their anger has faded away, and they never let a moment of blood shake their bodies and minds; their manners are elegant and gentle; judging people is by no means just eyes, not ears; But you have to think carefully, and don't trust what you see and hear-you are such a perfect person; and your betrayal has cast a stain of suspicion on all capable gentlemen.I want to cry for you!Your rebellious behavior, in my opinion, is like another fall of human beings⑩.Their crimes have been exposed, arrest them for the law of the land; let God acquit them of conspiracy! Exeter I arrest you for high treason--Richard, Earl of Cambridge.I arrest you for high treason--Lord Henry Scroop of Marsham.I arrest you for high treason - Sir Thomas Gray of Northumberland. Scroop Our plots are exposed to the strict God; my crimes are more sad to me than my death.For this mistake I beg His Majesty's forgiveness-though for it I paid with my life. Cambridge Not that I was seduced by the gold and silver of France, though I must admit that accepting the gold made me more eager to carry out the plot.But thank God, he came out to stop him; even if it was death, I would be willing to ask God and you to forgive my sins. Grey's loyal subjects could not rejoice at this most dangerous treason exposed, as I do now--for I was stopped at the very moment when I was about to commit a heinous deed.Forgive me my sins--don't pardon me my mortal sins, my lord. King Henry May God spare you!Hear your verdict.You conspired to kill the king of a country, and you conspired with the enemy, and received gold and silver from the enemy's treasury as an advance payment; then you sold your king and let him be slaughtered, and you sold your relatives and ministers. He sold all his subjects to the arrogant conqueror, and sold the whole kingdom to the raping and plundering enemy.As far as I am concerned, I have no intention of revenge; but the safety of our motherland, we must cherish it very much, and you are trying to destroy it, and I will now hand you over to the laws of the motherland.Go, boneless wretches, the death penalty awaits you.May the merciful God give you peace of mind to endure the taste of death, and ask you to sincerely repent of all these serious crimes!take them down. (Exit CAMBRIDGE AND SCROP GRAY) Now, ministers; go to France!Go over there and do some business, the glory will belong to me and you equally.This march will be auspicious and successful; for God has shown grace to expose that evil that lurked around us and tried to thwart us from the beginning--that dangerous rebellion; there is no doubt that we All obstacles to the future were removed.Dear fellow countrymen, let's go, and entrust our army in the palm of God.Send troops immediately.Raise the battle flag high, and sail down the sea with joy; be king of England unless you are emperor of France. (same below.) Third London.street inn front Enter Pistole, Landlady, Nim, Bardolph, and Tonger. Mistress, my dear husband, let me take you all the way to Steiner. Don't give it away, Pistol; even a man is short of breath sometimes!Bardolph, cheer up; Nim, keep on blowing your bullshit; boy, show some courage; for Falstaff is dead, and it's sad. Bardolph I wish I was with him often--wherever he is, heaven or hell! Landlady No, of course he's not in hell!If anyone can enter heaven, he must be in the arms of the ancestor Abraham in heaven.He died well, and when he was dying, he was like a little doll without a full moon.It was not too early or too late, it was around twelve o'clock to one o'clock—just when the ebb and flow of the tide turned, he stretched his legs and "started".He was still fiddling with the bedding and playing with the flowers, and then he smiled at his fingertips again; I saw this scene at a glance, and I understood: sooner or later, this is the way ; for his nose was as sharp as a pen, and his face was as green as a tablecloth spread over an accounting table. "What's the matter, Sir John?" I said to him, "Why, sir, hold on!" and he cried, "My God, my God, my God!" three or four times.To comfort him, I told him, Don't think about God; I hope he won't bother himself with blind thoughts then.After saying this, he asked me to cover his feet with more quilts, and I put my hand into the quilt to test it out; when I touched it, those feet were like two stones with no heat!Then I touched his knees, and up, and up—oh, it's all as cold as a rock! Nim and they said he cursed liquor for harming him. The proprietress is good, there is such a thing. Bardolph He also cursed women. Landlady No, he doesn't have that. No, Tong'er, he cursed them, and said they were the flesh of the devil. The proprietress, he just can't stand "flesh color", this color he has always hated the most. Tong'er once said that the devil wanted to capture him because of women. Yes, landlady, he said something about women; but then he was rheumatic, and he talked about Babylonian whores. Tonger, do you remember? --He saw a flea hiding on Bardolph's nose, and he said, Is this a black soul burning in the fire of hell? Bardolph Alas, the fuel for that fire is gone.I've served him for so many years, and that's why I got so many benefits. Nim, shall we go?The Emperor is about to set off at Sweep Thornton. Pistol Come on, let's go.My love, let me kiss your lips.My belongings and my belongings have been guarded for me; everything must be careful.Remember this sentence: "All cash, no credit." No one can be trusted; swearing and swearing is just a rotten rope, and the faithfulness of men is worthless; you can't make a mistake, my little duckling.So, make "with trembling" your motto.Go ahead and polish your pair of "crystal balls".Brothers in the ranks, let us go to France; boys, let us be like a swarm of leeches, only to drink, drink, drink blood! Tong'er and the others said, this is not something delicious. Bistor kissed her cherry lips, and off we went. Bardolph Good-bye, landlady. (Kiss her.) Nim, I don't want to kiss this mouth, that's right—come on, see you later. Bistor is a well-behaved housewife; don't run out if you have nothing to do, this is my warning. Goodbye, lady boss!goodbye! (same below.) Scene 4 French Royal Palace Trumpets play coloratura.Enter the King of France, the Dauphin, Perry, Brittany, and the Marshal. Sure enough, the army of the King of France and England is coming to invade us, so we have to pay more attention and be prepared.So go, Duke Perry, Duke of Brittany, Brapon, and Duke of Orléans; and you, Dauphin, hurry to the places of war, add to the guards, repair the fortifications, and strike Sharpen your guns; for the English army is coming with fury, as swift as water in a whirlpool.If we remember how much we suffered from belittling England in the past, we should be prepared and vigilant this time. The most respected father of the crown prince, we should indeed take up swords and guns to fight against the enemy; "peace" should not be a drug that makes people drowsy-even if there is no war, there is no conflict, the fortifications, the military service, And the armaments, too, must be constantly raised, recruited, and replenished, as if the scourge of war was at hand.So I say we should all set out to survey those weak, empty parts of France; and we should do so with no fear--no fear at all, as we hear the Englishmen busily doing seances for, good lord, this England lacks a wise prince whose scepter is in the hands of a vain, superficial, capricious, rash fellow--what country is there So scary! Marshal, don't say that, Dauphin!You have greatly misread this king.Your Highness may wish to ask the two envoys who have just returned, how solemn he looked when he summoned them, how many outstanding courtiers he has around him, how humble he is when he expresses objections, and how firm he is once he has made up his mind Terrible—then you will not fail to notice all the arrogance of his past, just like Brutus in ancient Rome⑾, who used ignorance as a coat to cover up his ingenuity—like a gardener who puts the first sprouts The tender seedlings are covered with fertilizer. Crown Prince No, not like that, my lord marshal!However, even though we think so, it doesn't matter, in the matter of defending the country, we'd better take the enemy seriously; so that we can concentrate on enriching the strength of national defense.If we shy away from making a decent plan, we'll be like misers ruining a dress to save a few inches of material. King of France We still think King Henry mighty; Lords, be well armed against him.His ancestors used to regard us as a piece of fat and walked all over our land, and he is the descendant of these bloody invaders.And think about the shame that we always keep in our minds—that is, the defeat of Cressy, our ministers were all taken captive by that black prince Edward with a sinister name; and his old man, a mountain As if, standing high on the hill, a round of golden sunset, like a crown, reflected on his head--with a smile on his face, he looked at his dragon who killed the people, and took France's father, God As a model, the destruction of the next generation created by twenty years of hard work.This Henry is the offspring of the victors, and we should fear for his natural ferocity and the accomplishments that fate promised him. Enter the Messenger. The envoys sent by King Henry of England requested an audience with His Majesty. His Holiness We will receive them now; go and bring them. (Exit the Messenger and the nobles.) See, my friends, how closely the hounds pursue us. The crown prince turned around and prepared to counterattack, seeing if the enemy dared to chase after him!The gutless dogs yelled furiously because they saw the terrified prey fleeing before them.Good father, go straight to meet those Englishmen, let them also see what a kingdom France is under your rule.Father, compared with "self-esteem", "self-esteem" is not the most serious sin. Re-enter the nobility.Enter Exeter, with attendants. Is the King of France coming from his brother King of England? Exeter came by his order.He greets Your Majesty; and in the name of Almighty God, he asks you to abdicate, and surrender your long-lost title--that is, by the gift of heaven, and by the law of nature, nations His testimonies belong to him and to his descendants—that is to say, surrender your crown, with all the honors that belong to the crown of France according to the custom and tradition passed down from generation to generation.In order to show that his request is not unreasonable and unreasonable—it was not excavated from some old moth hole, nor was it dug from the dusty pile of waste paper, now he gives you this copy Tracing the genealogy of the royal family.Every branch line indicates a direct line of descent; he asks you to study this genealogy carefully, and when you find out that he is indeed an orthodox person, he should inherit the most famous of his most famous ancestors-Edward III; then, he bids you, give back to the rightful heir the crown and kingdom that have been usurped. What if the Dharma King does not follow through? Exeter will ask for it in blood.Even if you swallow the crown, he will take it without mercy.He is about to come down like a storm, lightning and thunder, mountains shaking and earth shaking, like the emperor of heaven appearing; if the text cannot be obtained, he will ask you for it by force; in the mercy of God, he tells you to offer the crown I want you to think about it, the gluttonous "war" is waiting for the poor people with open blood; think about the tears of the widow, the cry of the orphan, the blood of the dead, the heartbroken All the wailings of young girls for sacrificed husbands, fathers, and betrothed beauties fall upon you.This is his request, his warning, and my whole mission; but if the Dauphin is here--I have been ordered to send him a few words of greeting. His Holiness spoke of myself, and we decided to consider the matter.Tomorrow you can take our specific opinions and reply to our England brother. The Crown Prince When it comes to the Crown Prince, I represent him.What would England have to say to him? Exeter Contempt, contempt, contempt, disgust, and all such sentiments that do not dishonor our sage--such is his attitude to you.Our emperor said this: If your father does not accept all his demands, and if you do not sincerely apologize to our emperor for your malicious mockery of him, then don't blame him for being furious, and he must be held accountable to you. Caverns and caverns resounded with the roar of cannon, as if to rebuke your impertinence, and to answer your jeers. Even if the crown prince is, my father is willing to give you a satisfactory answer, and I will not agree; because there is nothing more satisfying to my heart than a quarrel with England.Just to find this opportunity—and to match his youthful and thin personality, I gave him a box of tennis balls from Paris. Well done Exeter, he will shake your Louvre in Paris--even if it were the center of the courts of great Europe.Rest assured, you will find—as our courtiers are astonished—that his conduct in youth was quite different from his conduct now.Now, he cherishes time and doesn't let it go easily.After he settles down in France and you are defeated by him, you will suddenly realize that there is such a thing! His Majesty, you will know our specific opinions tomorrow. (Trumpets play coloratura.) Exeter Send us away as soon as possible, lest the emperor himself come and ask why we are so slow; For he has landed in this land. His Majesty will not delay you long, we can let you go smoothly.One night is only a blink of an eye-but it is necessary to answer such a serious question at present. (same below.)
