_Prince._ In both your armies there is many a soul[3056] Shall pay full dearly for this encounter,[3057] If once they join in trial. Tell your nephew, 85 The Prince of Wales doth join with all the world In praise of Henry Percy: by my hopes,[3058] This present enterprise set off his head,[3059] I do not think a braver gentleman, More active-valiant or more valiant-young,[3060] 90 More daring or more bold, is now alive To grace this latter age with noble deeds. For my part, I may speak it to my shame, I have a truant been to chivalry; And so I hear he doth account me too; 95 Yet this before my father's majesty-- I am content that he shall take the odds Of his great name and estimation, And will, to save the blood on either side, Try fortune with him in a single fight.[3061] 100 _King._ And, Prince of Wales, so dare we venture thee,[3062] Albeit considerations infinite Do make against it. No, good Worcester, no,[3063] We love our people well; even those we love That are misled upon your cousin's part; 105 And, will they take the offer of our grace,[3064] Both he and they and you, yea, every man Shall be my friend again and I'll be his:[3065] So tell your cousin, and bring me word[3066] What he will do: but if he will not yield,[3067] 110 Rebuke and dread correction wait on us[3068] And they shall do their office. So, be gone; We will not now be troubled with reply: We offer fair; take it advisedly. [_Exeunt Worcester and Vernon._[3069] _Prince._ It will not be accepted, on my life: 115 The Douglas and the Hotspur both together Are confident against the world in arms. _King._ Hence, therefore, every leader to his charge; For, on their answer, will we set on them: And God befriend us, as our cause is just! 120 [_Exeunt all but the Prince of Wales and Falstaff._[3070] _Fal._ Hal, if thou see me down in the battle, and[3071][3072] bestride me, so; 'tis a point of friendship.[3072][3073] _Prince._ Nothing but a colossus can do thee that[3072] friendship. Say thy prayers, and farewell.[3072] _Fal._ I would 'twere bed-time, Hal, and all well.[3072][3074] 125 _Prince._ Why, thou owest God a death. [_Exit._[3075]
