ACT V.
SCENE I. KING JOHN'S _palace_.
_Enter_ KING JOHN, PANDULPH, _and_ Attendants.[557]
_K. John._ Thus have I yielded up into your hand
The circle of my glory. [_Giving the crown._[558]
_Pand._ Take again
From this my hand, as holding of the pope[559]
Your sovereign greatness and authority.
_K. John._ Now keep your holy word: go meet the French, 5
And from his holiness use all your power
To stop their marches 'fore we are inflamed.[560]
Our discontented counties do revolt;
Our people quarrel with obedience,
Swearing allegiance and the love of soul[561] 10
To stranger blood, to foreign royalty.
This inundation of mistemper'd humour[562]
Rests by you only to be qualified:
Then pause not; for the present time's so sick,
That present medicine must be minister'd, 15
Or overthrow incurable ensues.[563]
_Pand._ It was my breath that blew this tempest up.
Upon your stubborn usage of the pope;
But since you are a gentle convertite,
My tongue shall hush again this storm of war 20
And make fair weather in your blustering land.
On this Ascension-day, remember well,
Upon your oath of service to the pope,
Go I to make the French lay down their arms. [_Exit._
