_L. Bard._ We all that are engaged to this loss 180 Knew that we ventured on such dangerous seas That if we wrought out life 'twas ten to one;[3320] And yet we ventured, for the gain proposed[3321] Choked the respect of likely peril fear'd; And since we are o'erset, venture again. 185 Come, we will all put forth, body and goods.[3322] _Mor._ 'Tis more than time: and, my most noble lord, I hear for certain, and do speak the truth,[3323] The gentle Archbishop of York is up[3324] With well-appointed powers: he is a man[3324] 190 Who with a double surety binds his followers.[3324] My lord your son had only but the corpse,[3324][3325] But shadows and the shows of men, to fight;[3324] For that same word, rebellion, did divide[3324] The action of their bodies from their souls;[3324] 195 And they did fight with queasiness, constrain'd,[3324] As men drink potions, that their weapons only[3324] Seem'd on our side; but, for their spirits and souls,[3324] This word, rebellion, it had froze them up,[3324] As fish are in a pond. But now the bishop[3324][3326] 200 Turns insurrection to religion:[3324] Supposed sincere and holy in his thoughts,[3324] He's followed both with body and with mind;[3324] And doth enlarge his rising with the blood[3324][3327] Of fair King Richard, scraped from Pomfret stones;[3324] 205 Derives from heaven his quarrel and his cause;[3324] Tells them he doth bestride a bleeding land,[3324] Gasping for life under great Bolingbroke;[3324] And more and less do flock to follow him.[3324] _North._ I knew of this before; but, to speak truth, 210 This present grief had wiped it from my mind. Go in with me; and counsel every man The aptest way for safety and revenge: Get posts and letters, and make friends with speed: Never so few, and never yet more need.[3328] [_Exeunt._ 215 SCENE II. _London. A street._ _Enter_ FALSTAFF, _with his_ Page _bearing his sword and buckler_.[3329] _Fal._ Sirrah, you giant, what says the doctor to my water? _Page._ He said, sir, the water itself was a good healthy[3330] water; but, for the party that owed it, he might have more[3331] diseases than he knew for.[3332] 5
