_Mort._ The archdeacon hath divided it[2637] Into three limits very equally: England, from Trent and Severn hitherto, By south and east is to my part assign'd: 75 All westward, Wales beyond the Severn shore. And all the fertile land within that bound. To Owen Glendower: and, dear coz, to you[2638] The remnant northward, lying off from Trent. And our indentures tripartite are drawn;[2639] 80 Which being sealed interchangeably, A business that this night may execute, To-morrow, cousin Percy, you and I[2640] And my good Lord of Worcester will set forth To meet your father and the Scottish power, 85 As is appointed us, at Shrewsbury. My father Glendower is not ready yet, Nor shall we need his help these fourteen days. Within that space you may have drawn together[2641] Your tenants, friends, and neighbouring gentlemen. 90 _Glend._ A shorter time shall send me to you, lords: And in my conduct shall your ladies come; From whom you now must steal and take no leave, For there will be a world of water shed[2642] Upon the parting of your wives and you. 95 _Hot._ Methinks my moiety, north from Burton here,[2643] In quantity equals not one of yours: See how this river comes me cranking in,[2644] And cuts me from the best of all my land A huge half-moon, a monstrous cantle out.[2645] 100 I'll have the current in this place damm'd up;[2646] And here the smug and silver Trent shall run In a new channel, fair and evenly; It shall not wind with such a deep indent, To rob me of so rich a bottom here. 105 _Glend._ Not wind? it shall, it must; you see it doth. _Mort._ Yea, but[2647][2648] Mark how he bears his course, and runs me up[2647][2648] With like advantage on the other side;[2647] Gelding the opposed continent as much[2647] 110 As on the other side it takes from you.[2647] _Wor._ Yea, but a little charge will trench him here And on this north side win this cape of land; And then he runs straight and even.[2649] _Hot._ I'll have it so: a little charge will do it. 115 _Glend._ I'll not have it alter'd.[2650] _Hot._ Will not you? _Glend._ No, nor you shall not. _Hot._ Who shall say me nay? _Glend._ Why, that will I. _Hot._ Let me not understand you, then; speak it in[2651][2652] Welsh.[2651] 120
