Chapter 32 act five

First game Kent.Battlefield between Dartford and Blackmoor King Henry's camp was set up on one side of the field, and York led the Irish army from the other side, leading with banners and drums. The Lord of York came back from Ireland this time to claim my right to take the crown from weak Henry's head.Let the bells ring louder, let the fireworks burn louder, to welcome the rightful King of Great Britain.Ah!Great royal power, who would not pay a noble price for you?Whoever cannot rule must obey.My hands were born to hold gold.I cannot carry out my will without a sword or scepter in my hand.Since I have a soul, I must hold the royal scepter, and I will play with the lily of France on the top of the staff.

Enter Buckingham. York who came here?Buckingham, is he to disturb me?The king must have sent him.I have to pretend to deal with him. Buckingham York, if you come with good intentions, I pay you my sincere tribute. Humphrey of York Buckingham, I accept your tribute.Let me ask you, did you come here with a mission, or did you come here for fun? Buckingham I come by the order of my king Henry, To inquire Why you have so many men in days of peace.Since you and I are ministers side by side, why did you break your oath of allegiance, did not receive the king's order, and dared to lead a large army to approach the palace?

York (narrator) I'm so angry I can barely speak.These despicable words made me so angry that I wanted to chop off some stones, and like Ajax the Great, I had to chop off some cattle and sheep to vent my anger.My endowment is much better than that of a king, I have more bearing of a king, and I have more thought of a king.But for the time being, I have to deal with him a bit, waiting for Henry's power to weaken further and my own power to grow stronger. (raises voice) Oh, Buckingham, I beg your pardon, I have not answered for a while, but it is because I am troubled.The purpose I have come here with my troops is to drive out the arrogant Somerset from the king's seat, who is plotting against the king and the country.

Buckingham You are acting too expertly in this way.But if you have no other purpose, the king has accepted your request, and now the Duke of Somerset is in the tower prison. York Can you honour, he's imprisoned? Buckingham On my honor, he is imprisoned. York In that case, Buckingham, I disband my army.Soldiers, I thank you. Disband now and wait for me at St. George's Field tomorrow. I will pay you your wages and reward you with what you want.As for our wise King Henry, to him I will deliver my firstborn, nay, all my sons, to be at his disposal, and hostages to my allegiance to him.I give him my sons willingly, and my lands, my goods, my horses, my implements, and all that I have, are all at his use, as long as Somerset is put to death.

Buckingham York, I admire you for your kind words and submission to the court.Now let us go together to the king's tent. Enter KING HENRY, with his attendants. Henry King Buckingham, York Comes with you hand in hand, Has he no ill intentions for me? York York York came to see His Majesty with great trepidation. KING HENRY Then what do you bring your troops for? York was to expel Somerset, the traitor, and also to put down Cade's rebellion, but I heard later that Cade was defeated. Enter Aiden Tequet's head. It is a great honor for Mrs. Aiden to meet my king.I present to Your Majesty the head of the traitor Cade, whom I slew in a duel.

Head of King Henry Cade!O great God, how just you are!Well, when this person was alive, he was very troublesome. Now that he is dead, I want to see what he looks like.Tell me, friend, did you kill him? Aiden played His Majesty, it was the minister who killed him. King Henry what is your name?What is your job title? Aiden My name is Alexander Aiden, a little country gentleman in Kent who loves the King. Buckingham said to His Majesty, this man has made great achievements, and it is probably possible to promote him to the knighthood. King Henry Aiden kneels. (Aiden kneels) Make you a knight, give you a bounty of one thousand marks, and you will serve as a royal guard from now on.

As long as Aiden is alive, he will always be loyal and will do his best to repay the Lord's grace! (stand up.) King Henry beware, Buckingham and Somerset follow the queen.Go and tell her to hide him from York. Enter Queen Margaret and Somerset. If Queen Margaret had a thousand Yorks here, Somerset would not have to hide his head and show his tail, he could stand face to face with him. What's the matter with York!Somerset is not in jail?So, York, say what you have restrained from saying, and say what is on your mind.Do I see Somerset can't hold fire?Deceitful king!You know that I hate a person who breaks his promise the most, why did you break his promise to me?Did I just call you a king?No, you are not a king, you dare not even manage a rebellious minister, and of course you are not worthy to rule over the people.Your head is not worthy to wear a crown, and your hand is only worthy to hold a pilgrim's staff, not worthy to hold the awe-inspiring royal staff.That crown of gold shall be fastened upon my crown, and my joy and anger, like Achilles' spear, can kill and teach life.My hand is the hand that holds the royal scepter, by which the laws governing the country are enforced.Make way, by Heaven, you can no longer rule over a man whom Heaven has sent to rule you.

O wicked traitor Somerset!I arrest you, York, for treason against the king.Bold rebel, bow your head and confess your guilt, kneel down and beg for mercy. York, do you want me to kneel?Let me first ask my subordinates if they would let me kneel before them.Guards, call in my sons to be my sureties. (Exit Guard.) I know they must not watch me enter the prison, and they would rather mortgage their swords than bail me out. QUEEN MARGARET Goes to bid Clifford come here, and tell him to come at once.Ask him to say whether York's bastard sons are eligible to be sureties for their rebellious father. (Exit Buckingham.)

York Oh, you bloody scum, absurd, bastard of England!Sons of York, born more noble than you, why should not be their father's guarantor?Anyone who refuses to let my son be my guarantor will be called to death! Edward and Richard led the army on one side; Clifford and his sons on the other. Well York, here they come, and I bet they'll get it right. Queen Margaret, Clifford, will certainly refuse their bail. Clifford salutes my king! (kneel.) York Thank you, Clifford.What news do you bring?Speak.No, don't rage at me.Clifford, I am your king, kneel and salute.You made the wrong salute just now, and I forgive you for your innocence.

Clifford's my lord, York, I'm not mistaken.If you think I've done the wrong thing, then you're dead wrong.Send him to a lunatic asylum, I think this man is crazy. King Henry is right, Clifford.Madness and ambition set him openly against his king. Clifford is a rebel, send him to the tower prison, and cut off his rebellious head. Queen Margaret He has been arrested, but he still refuses to obey, and even says that his son can be surety for him. Will you be surety, boys of York? Edward is willing, lord father, if we can put our credit on our word. Richard If credit cannot be guaranteed, use force.

Clifford, what a bunch of traitors! York, take a mirror and look at yourself, your shadow is a traitor.I am your king, and you are a deceitful traitor.Call in my two brave bears, and with a flick of their chains they'll be sure to scare these stalking dogs to death.Go and call Salisbury and Warwick to my side. Drumming.Enter Warwick and Salisbury with an army. Clifford Are they your bears?If you dare to lead them to the trap, I will push them into the trap and kill them, and put you bear breeder in chains. RICHARD I have often seen a smug dog, if he is held back, he struggles back to bite; if he is left alone, he only needs to be slapped by a bear's paw, and he will bark with his tail between his legs.If you want to fight Lord Warwick, you can only do so. Clifford go away, you villain, you ugly hunchback!Your behavior is as unrefined as your body shape. It's all right, York, we're going to make you really angry again. Be careful, Clifford, lest you burn yourselves. King Henry, Warwick, have you forgotten to bow your knees to me?Old man Salisbury, don't you feel ashamed that you don't discipline your son well, you are gray-haired?You have reached the end of your life, do you still want to do some evil deeds and look for trouble?What faith are you talking about?What loyalty?If the old man with frosty temples is neither loyal nor trustworthy, who in the world is loyal?Will you make war at your tomb, and shame your old age with bloodshed?You have lived a long time, why are you still inexperienced?Or is it because you are experienced, but still willful?You are so old, half of your body has been buried in the ground, if you still have the heart of shame, you should kneel to me according to the etiquette of a courtier. Your Highness Salisbury, I have carefully considered the question of whether this extremely prestigious duke has the right to inherit.In my good conscience, I consider him the rightful heir to the British throne. KING HENRY Did you not swear your allegiance to me? Salisbury swore. Since King Henry has made an oath, can you go back to God? Salisbury It was a great sin to swear to do evil; and a still greater sin to keep the oath to do evil.If a man takes an oath to murder, to rob, to rape virgins, to usurp the inheritance of orphans, to abuse widows, must he keep his oath?Was he obliged to do these evil things because he had solemnly sworn an oath? Queen Margaret's cunning traitor will always cunning, need not ask the sophist for help. King Henry called Buckingham, and bade him go to arms. York, you may call Buckingham, or call all your friends, I am determined to die and win the high position. Clifford I guarantee you the former, if the dream is true. Warwick I think you'd better go to bed and dream, lest you suffer the storms on the battlefield. Clifford Whatever storm you raise, I am determined to resist it.If I could recognize you from your family arms, I'd write this on your helmet. Warwick The ancestral coat of arms of our Neville family is also my father's emblem. It is a furious bear chained to a tree stump. Today I wear a helmet with this coat of arms high on the top. superior.It is like a lone pine tree on a mountain peak, covered with green branches and green leaves, standing tall in the storm.This style is enough to make you overwhelmed. Clifford I'll tear that bear from your helmet, and trample it underfoot, and the bear-keeper can't protect it. Little Clifford's invincible father, let us mobilize the team and defeat these traitors and their henchmen once and for all. Richard Pooh!Save yourself the hard words, you're going to have dinner with Jesus Christ tonight. Little Clifford, little cripple, what right do you have to say that kind of thing! Richard If you won't go to heaven, you can surely go to hell and have your supper. (Exit each.) Game 2 St Albans Drums and horns.The two armies are at war.Enter Warwick. Clifford, Warwick of Cumberland, I, Warwick, call you.Now is the time when drums and horns are sounding, and the sound of killing is loud, if you don't hide from the bear, I say, Clifford, you should come out and fight me!Proud Lord of the North, Clifford of Cumberland, Warwick is hoarse when he calls you to battle. Enter York. What is the matter with Warwick, my noble lord!Is everything going well? Clifford the stingy of York slew my steed, and I paid him my respects, and slew his dear steed, to feed the kites and ravens of the sky. Enter old Clifford. Warwick is fighting to the death today. York stop, Warwick, you go find other game, leave this deer for me to kill myself. Warwick Well, let's fight, York, your success or loss is related to the success or loss of the throne.Clifford, I am sorry to leave you alive, when I meant to gamble on you today. (Down.) Clifford York, what do you see in me?Why do you hold back? York, seeing your heroic spirit, I can't help cherishing it, but it's a pity that you are my deadly enemy. Clifford would have been admirable in terms of your bravery, but it is a pity that you did not take the right path and became a traitor. York Since I have shown valor in maintaining justice and advocating justice, let valor help me to win when I confront you today. Clifford My soul and body are at war! York This is an amazing bet!I'll teach you right away. (The two engage and Clifford falls.) Thus was the end of Clifford's career. (die.) The battle of York has laid you to rest, and you are quiet now.If Heaven allows, peace be with his soul! (Down.) Enter Young Clifford. Little Clifford is in such a mess, what a disgrace!The whole army broke up.Out of fear, there will be confusion, and once there is confusion, you will not be able to survive.War, you are the son of hell, the angry heaven uses you as a tool to punish the world, I hope you will put the fire of revenge into the cooled chest of our soldiers!Don't let any soldier escape.Those who can really sacrifice their lives on the battlefield will certainly be able to do so; as for those who cherish their wealth, even if they win the name of bravery, it is only out of luck, and there is no real bravery. (Seeing the dead father) Oh, let this wicked world be destroyed, let the flames of the doomsday be ignited ahead of time, and burn the world into one ball!Let the heroic ja sound play, and let all the trivial sounds stop!Dear father, were you doomed to perish in a melee after the peaceful early years, and the quiet, frost-haired old age, when you were respected and cared for?When I see this, my heart turns to stone; as long as I have a heart, it will be as hard as a stone.York did not spare our old men, nor will I spare their babes.Henceforth virgin's tears shall be to me as dew on the fire; and the virtues so often boasted of tyrants, to the flames of my wrath as fuel to the flames.From now on, I will never have any compassion for people.If I ever come across a Yorkie baby, I'm sure to chop him up to a pulp.I'm going to be known the world over for being ruthless.Well, you new ghost of old Cliffords, (carrying father's body) I'll carry you on my strong shoulders, as Aeneas carried his father Anchises old man , but he is carrying a living person, and the burden is not as painful as mine. (Down.) Enter Richard and Somerset, they fight and Somerset is killed. Richard hum, you lie down after all.The fortune teller said that you would "die in the castle", and the sign of this hotel said "Fort St. Alban", and you really died under it, which made the fortune teller famous.Sword, keep your fighting spirit; heart, keep your anger.The monks bless the enemy, and the princes search and kill the enemy. (Down.) Trumpet sound.The two armies clashed.King Henry and Queen Margaret led the crowd and retreated. Queen Margaret Go, my lord!You walk too slowly, aren't you afraid of embarrassment?go! KING HENRY Can we restore Providence?Good Margaret, stop. Queen Margaret What are you?Neither fight nor flee.At this moment, avoiding the enemy's sharp edge is decisive, wise, and beneficial to defense; in order to preserve strength, the only option is to run away. (horn sounds in the distance) If you are caught by the enemy, our future is over.If we could escape--and we could, if you're not negligent--we could retreat to London.There, there are many people who support you, and the situation will definitely be saved immediately. Re-enter Young Clifford. Little Clifford I would rather utter blasphemous words than advise you to flee, were it not for my fear of future misfortunes.But the tide is on and you have to run away.Now the soldiers under our command have lost their fighting spirit and cannot be saved.For your safety, let's go!I'll stay and see what they do, I'm going to fight them.Come on, my lord, go! (same below.) Battlefield near St. Albans Trumpet sound.The sound of retreating troops.Trumpets play coloratura.Enter York, Richard, and Warwick with soldiers, and lead the way. Who can tell me what is going on with old General York Salisbury?The lion in winter, vigorously, regardless of his age and energy decline, is still like a fighter in his prime, becoming more energetic as he fights.If anything happened to Salisbury, the victory would be nothing to celebrate, and we would have gained nothing. Richard's noble father, three times I have mounted him this day, three times I have escorted him; three times I have led him out of the siege, and advised him not to continue the fight.But as soon as I got to the danger zone, I met him again.Like rich hangings in a humble house, so there was still a strong will in his old body.Look, that's not him, what a hero! Enter Salisbury. Salisbury With my sword, I say, you fought well today.By the sacrament, I also say, we all played well.Thank you, Richard.God knows how long I have to live, but by God's grace, you saved me three times today.My lords, our victory is not complete, because the enemy has escaped, and we know they will come back. York I also know that we must pursue the enemy in order to be safe.On hearing that the King has fled to London, he must call Parliament at once.Before his edict is issued, we must catch up with him.What is Lord Warwick's opinion?Shall we go after him? Warwick is chasing him!No, we want to get ahead of them if possible.My lords, today is truly a glorious day.The famous Duke of York's victory at the Battle of St Alban should be remembered forever.Send the order, call the drums and horns of the three armies to sound, and march to London!Glorious days like today await us! (same below.) Notes: Refers to Henry VI.Henry VI belonged to the House of Lancastrians, against whom the House of York was opposed. Albyn is the ancient name of England. The sandbag stick (Sandbag) was a weapon at that time, with a sandbag attached to the head of the stick, which was used to hit people. British superstition, when the Datura grass is pulled out of the soil, it makes a moan, which makes people who hear it mad even if they don't die. Sulla (Sylla, 136-78 BC), the ruler of Rome, once carried out a reign of terror. Tully, the Roman orator Cicero. "Kade" in the original text means "small bucket". The meaning of this name is "God is with us", see "Old Testament": "Isaiah" Chapter Seventeen Section Fourteen. Lent commemorates the fasting period of Jesus before Easter.During this period, some privileged butchers could slaughter a certain number of cattle and sheep every week and enjoy patent rights. The urine pipe is a public fountain in London. The water spray is very thin, so the people at that time called it this name. The original "helmet" (Sallet) and "lettuce" are the same word. In Greek mythology, Ajax the Great once cut off a group of cattle and sheep as enemies because of a moment of anger.
