[Exeunt Prince of Wales and Lancaster.
Fal. I'll follow, as they say, for reward. He that rewards
me, God reward him! If I do grow great, I'll grow[3231]160
less; for I'll purge, and leave sack, and live cleanly as a
nobleman should do. [Exit.[3232]
Scene V. Another part of the field.
The trumpets sound. Enter the King, Prince of Wales, Lord John of Lancaster, Earl of Westmoreland, with Worcester and Vernon prisoners.[3233]
King. Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke.[3234]
Ill-spirited Worcester! did not we send grace,[3235]
Pardon and terms of love to all of you?
And wouldst thou turn our offers contrary?
Misuse the tenour of thy kinsman's trust?5
Three knights upon our party slain to-day,
A noble earl and many a creature else
Had been alive this hour,[3236]
If like a Christian thou hadst truly borne
Betwixt our armies true intelligence.10
Wor. What I have done my safety urged me to;
And I embrace this fortune patiently,
Since not to be avoided it falls on me.[3237]
King. Bear Worcester to the death, and Vernon too:[3238]
Other offenders we will pause upon.15
[Exeunt Worcester and Vernon, guarded.[3239]
How goes the field?
Prince. The noble Scot, Lord Douglas, when he saw[3240]
The fortune of the day quite turn'd from him,[3241]
The noble Percy slain, and all his men
Upon the foot of fear, fled with the rest;20
And falling from a hill, he was so bruised
That the pursuers took him. At my tent
The Douglas is; and I beseech your grace
I may dispose of him.
