ACT II. PROLOGUE.  Flourish. Enter CHORUS    CHORUS. Now all the youth of England are on fire,     And silken dalliance in the wardrobe lies;     Now thrive the armourers, and honour's thought     Reigns solely in the breast of every man;     They sell the pasture now to buy the horse,     Following the mirror of all Christian kings     With winged heels, as English Mercuries.     For now sits Expectation in the air,     And hides a sword from hilts unto the point     With crowns imperial, crowns, and coronets,     Promis'd to Harry and his followers.     The French, advis'd by good intelligence     Of this most dreadful preparation,     Shake in their fear and with pale policy     Seek to divert the English purposes.     O England! model to thy inward greatness,     Like little body with a mighty heart,     What mightst thou do that honour would thee do,     Were all thy children kind and natural!     But see thy fault! France hath in thee found out     A nest of hollow bosoms, which he fills     With treacherous crowns; and three corrupted men-     One, Richard Earl of Cambridge, and the second,     Henry Lord Scroop of Masham, and the third,     Sir Thomas Grey, knight, of Northumberland,     Have, for the gilt of France- O guilt indeed!-     Confirm'd conspiracy with fearful France;     And by their hands this grace of kings must die-     If hell and treason hold their promises,     Ere he take ship for France- and in Southampton.     Linger your patience on, and we'll digest     Th' abuse of distance, force a play.     The sum is paid, the traitors are agreed,     The King is set from London, and the scene     Is now transported, gentles, to Southampton;     There is the play-house now, there must you sit,     And thence to France shall we convey you safe     And bring you back, charming the narrow seas     To give you gentle pass; for, if we may,     We'll not offend one stomach with our play.     But, till the King come forth, and not till then,     Unto Southampton do we shift our scene.                 Exit     SCENE I. London. Before the Boar's Head Tavern, Eastcheap  Enter CORPORAL NYM and LIEUTENANT BARDOLPH    BARDOLPH. Well met, Corporal Nym.   NYM. Good morrow, Lieutenant Bardolph.   BARDOLPH. What, are Ancient Pistol and you friends yet?   NYM. For my part, I care not; I say little, but when time shall     serve, there shall be smiles- but that shall be as it may. I dare     not fight; but I will wink and hold out mine iron. It is a simple     one; but what though? It will toast cheese, and it will endure     cold as another man's sword will; and there's an end.   BARDOLPH. I will bestow a breakfast to make you friends; and we'll     be all three sworn brothers to France. Let't be so, good Corporal     Nym.   NYM. Faith, I will live so long as I may, that's the certain of it;     and when I cannot live any longer, I will do as I may. That is my     rest, that is the rendezvous of it.   BARDOLPH. It is certain, Corporal, that he is married to Nell     Quickly; and certainly she did you wrong, for you were     troth-plight to her.   NYM. I cannot tell; things must be as they may. Men may sleep, and     they may have their throats about them at that time; and some say     knives have edges. It must be as it may; though patience be a     tired mare, yet she will plod. There must be conclusions. Well, I     cannot tell.                       Enter PISTOL and HOSTESS    BARDOLPH. Here comes Ancient Pistol and his wife. Good Corporal, be     patient here.   NYM. How now, mine host Pistol!   PISTOL. Base tike, call'st thou me host?     Now by this hand, I swear I scorn the term;     Nor shall my Nell keep lodgers.   HOSTESS. No, by my troth, not long; for we cannot lodge and board a     dozen or fourteen gentlewomen that live honestly by the prick of     their needles, but it will be thought we keep a bawdy-house     straight. [Nym draws] O well-a-day, Lady, if he be not drawn! Now     we shall see wilful adultery and murder committed.   BARDOLPH. Good Lieutenant, good Corporal, offer nothing here.   NYM. Pish!   PISTOL. Pish for thee, Iceland dog! thou prick-ear'd cur of     Iceland!   HOSTESS. Good Corporal Nym, show thy valour, and put up your sword.   NYM. Will you shog off? I would have you solus.   PISTOL. 'Solus,' egregious dog? O viper vile!     The 'solus' in thy most mervailous face;     The 'solus' in thy teeth, and in thy throat,     And in thy hateful lungs, yea, in thy maw, perdy;     And, which is worse, within thy nasty mouth!     I do retort the 'solus' in thy bowels;     For I can take, and Pistol's cock is up,     And flashing fire will follow.   NYM. I am not Barbason: you cannot conjure me. I have an humour to     knock you indifferently well. If you grow foul with me, Pistol, I     will scour you with my rapier, as I may, in fair terms; if you     would walk off I would prick your guts a little, in good terms,     as I may, and thaes the humour of it.   PISTOL. O braggart vile and damned furious wight!     The grave doth gape and doting death is near;     Therefore exhale.                             [PISTOL draws]   BARDOLPH. Hear me, hear me what I say: he that strikes the first     stroke I'll run him up to the hilts, as I am a soldier.                                                          [Draws]   PISTOL. An oath of mickle might; and fury shall abate.                            [PISTOL and Nym sheathe their swords]     Give me thy fist, thy fore-foot to me give;     Thy spirits are most tall.   NYM. I will cut thy throat one time or other, in fair terms; that     is the humour of it.   PISTOL. 'Couple a gorge!'     That is the word. I thee defy again.     O hound of Crete, think'st thou my spouse to get?     No; to the spital go,     And from the powd'ring tub of infamy     Fetch forth the lazar kite of Cressid's kind,     Doll Tearsheet she by name, and her espouse.     I have, and I will hold, the quondam Quickly     For the only she; and- pauca, there's enough.     Go to.                          Enter the Boy    BOY. Mine host Pistol, you must come to my master; and your     hostess- he is very sick, and would to bed. Good Bardolph, put     thy face between his sheets, and do the office of a warming-pan.     Faith, he's very ill.   BARDOLPH. Away, you rogue.   HOSTESS. By my troth, he'll yield the crow a pudding one of these     days: the King has kill'd his heart. Good husband, come home     presently.                            Exeunt HOSTESS and BOY   BARDOLPH. Come, shall I make you two friends? We must to France     together; why the devil should we keep knives to cut one     another's throats?   PISTOL. Let floods o'erswell, and fiends for food howl on!   NYM. You'll pay me the eight shillings I won of you at betting?   PISTOL. Base is the slave that pays.   NYM. That now I will have; that's the humour of it.   PISTOL. As manhood shall compound: push home.                                            [PISTOL and Nym draw]   BARDOLPH. By this sword, he that makes the first thrust I'll kill     him; by this sword, I will.   PISTOL. Sword is an oath, and oaths must have their course.                                             [Sheathes his sword]   BARDOLPH. Corporal Nym, an thou wilt be friends, be friends; an     thou wilt not, why then be enemies with me too. Prithee put up.   NYM. I shall have my eight shillings I won of you at betting?   PISTOL. A noble shalt thou have, and present pay;     And liquor likewise will I give to thee,     And friendship shall combine, and brotherhood.     I'll live by Nym and Nym shall live by me.     Is not this just? For I shall sutler be     Unto the camp, and profits will accrue.     Give me thy hand.   NYM. [Sheathing his sword] I shall have my noble?   PISTOL. In cash most justly paid.   NYM. [Shaking hands] Well, then, that's the humour of't.                         Re-enter HOSTESS    HOSTESS. As ever you come of women, come in quickly to Sir John.     Ah, poor heart! he is so shak'd of a burning quotidian tertian     that it is most lamentable to behold. Sweet men, come to him.   NYM. The King hath run bad humours on the knight; that's the even     of it.   PISTOL. Nym, thou hast spoke the right;     His heart is fracted and corroborate.   NYM. The King is a good king, but it must be as it may; he passes     some humours and careers.   PISTOL. Let us condole the knight; for, lambkins, we will live.                                                           Exeunt     SCENE II. Southampton. A council-chamber  Enter EXETER, BEDFORD, and WESTMORELAND    BEDFORD. Fore God, his Grace is bold, to trust these traitors.   EXETER. They shall be apprehended by and by.   WESTMORELAND. How smooth and even they do bear themselves,     As if allegiance in their bosoms sat,     Crowned with faith and constant loyalty!   BEDFORD. The King hath note of all that they intend,     By interception which they dream not of.   EXETER. Nay, but the man that was his bedfellow,     Whom he hath dull'd and cloy'd with gracious favours-     That he should, for a foreign purse, so sell     His sovereign's life to death and treachery!                 Trumpets sound. Enter the KING, SCROOP,                   CAMBRIDGE, GREY, and attendants    KING HENRY. Now sits the wind fair, and we will aboard.     My Lord of Cambridge, and my kind Lord of Masham,     And you, my gentle knight, give me your thoughts.     Think you not that the pow'rs we bear with us     Will cut their passage through the force of France,     Doing the execution and the act     For which we have in head assembled them?   SCROOP. No doubt, my liege, if each man do his best.   KING HENRY. I doubt not that, since we are well persuaded     We carry not a heart with us from hence     That grows not in a fair consent with ours;     Nor leave not one behind that doth not wish     Success and conquest to attend on us.   CAMBRIDGE. Never was monarch better fear'd and lov'd     Than is your Majesty. There's not, I think, a subject     That sits in heart-grief and uneasines     Under the sweet shade of your government.   GREY. True: those that were your father's enemies     Have steep'd their galls in honey, and do serve you     With hearts create of duty and of zeal.   KING HENRY. We therefore have great cause of thankfulness,     And shall forget the office of our hand     Sooner than quittance of desert and merit     According to the weight and worthiness.   SCROOP. So service shall with steeled sinews toil,     And labour shall refresh itself with hope,     To do your Grace incessant services.   KING HENRY. We judge no less. Uncle of Exeter,     Enlarge the man committed yesterday     That rail'd against our person. We consider     It was excess of wine that set him on;     And on his more advice we pardon him.   SCROOP. That's mercy, but too much security.     Let him be punish'd, sovereign, lest example     Breed, by his sufferance, more of such a kind.   KING HENRY. O, let us yet be merciful!   CAMBRIDGE. So may your Highness, and yet punish too.   GREY. Sir,     You show great mercy if you give him life,     After the taste of much correction.   KING HENRY. Alas, your too much love and care of me     Are heavy orisons 'gainst this poor wretch!     If little faults proceeding on distemper     Shall not be wink'd at, how shall we stretch our eye     When capital crimes, chew'd, swallow'd, and digested,     Appear before us? We'll yet enlarge that man,     Though Cambridge, Scroop, and Grey, in their dear care     And tender preservation of our person,     Would have him punish'd. And now to our French causes:     Who are the late commissioners?   CAMBRIDGE. I one, my lord.     Your Highness bade me ask for it to-day.   SCROOP. So did you me, my liege.   GREY. And I, my royal sovereign.   KING HENRY. Then, Richard Earl of Cambridge, there is yours;     There yours, Lord Scroop of Masham; and, Sir Knight,     Grey of Northumberland, this same is yours.     Read them, and know I know your worthiness.     My Lord of Westmoreland, and uncle Exeter,     We will aboard to-night. Why, how now, gentlemen?     What see you in those papers, that you lose     So much complexion? Look ye how they change!     Their cheeks are paper. Why, what read you there     That have so cowarded and chas'd your blood     Out of appearance?   CAMBRIDGE. I do confess my fault,     And do submit me to your Highness' mercy.   GREY, SCROOP. To which we all appeal.   KING HENRY. The mercy that was quick in us but late    By your own counsel is suppress'd and kill'd.     You must not dare, for shame, to talk of mercy;     For your own reasons turn into your bosoms     As dogs upon their masters, worrying you.     See you, my princes and my noble peers,     These English monsters! My Lord of Cambridge here-     You know how apt our love was to accord     To furnish him with an appertinents     Belonging to his honour; and this man     Hath, for a few light crowns, lightly conspir'd,     And sworn unto the practices of France     To kill us here in Hampton; to the which     This knight, no less for bounty bound to us     Than Cambridge is, hath likewise sworn. But, O,     What shall I say to thee, Lord Scroop, thou cruel,     Ingrateful, savage, and inhuman creature?     Thou that didst bear the key of all my counsels,     That knew'st the very bottom of my soul,     That almost mightst have coin'd me into gold,     Wouldst thou have practis'd on me for thy use-     May it be possible that foreign hire     Could out of thee extract one spark of evil     That might annoy my finger? 'Tis so strange     That, though the truth of it stands off as gross     As black and white, my eye will scarcely see it.     Treason and murder ever kept together,     As two yoke-devils sworn to either's purpose,     Working so grossly in a natural cause     That admiration did not whoop at them;     But thou, 'gainst all proportion, didst bring in     Wonder to wait on treason and on murder;     And whatsoever cunning fiend it was     That wrought upon thee so preposterously     Hath got the voice in hell for excellence;     And other devils that suggest by treasons     Do botch and bungle up damnation     With patches, colours, and with forms, being fetch'd     From glist'ring semblances of piety;     But he that temper'd thee bade thee stand up,     Gave thee no instance why thou shouldst do treason,     Unless to dub thee with the name of traitor.     If that same demon that hath gull'd thee thus     Should with his lion gait walk the whole world,     He might return to vasty Tartar back,     And tell the legions 'I can never win     A soul so easy as that Englishman's.'     O, how hast thou with jealousy infected     The sweetness of affiance! Show men dutiful?     Why, so didst thou. Seem they grave and learned?     Why, so didst thou. Come they of noble family?     Why, so didst thou. Seem they religious?     Why, so didst thou. Or are they spare in diet,     Free from gross passion or of mirth or anger,     Constant in spirit, not swerving with the blood,     Garnish'd and deck'd in modest complement,     Not working with the eye without the ear,     And but in purged judgment trusting neither?     Such and so finely bolted didst thou seem;     And thus thy fall hath left a kind of blot     To mark the full-fraught man and best indued     With some suspicion. I will weep for thee;     For this revolt of thine, methinks, is like     Another fall of man. Their faults are open.     Arrest them to the answer of the law;     And God acquit them of their practices!   EXETER. I arrest thee of high treason, by the name of Richard Earl       of Cambridge.     I arrest thee of high treason, by the name of Henry Lord Scroop       of Masham.     I arrest thee of high treason, by the name of Thomas Grey,       knight, of Northumberland.   SCROOP. Our purposes God justly hath discover'd,     And I repent my fault more than my death;     Which I beseech your Highness to forgive,     Although my body pay the price of it.   CAMBRIDGE. For me, the gold of France did not seduce,     Although I did admit it as a motive     The sooner to effect what I intended;     But God be thanked for prevention,     Which I in sufferance heartily will rejoice,     Beseeching God and you to pardon me.   GREY. Never did faithful subject more rejoice     At the discovery of most dangerous treason     Than I do at this hour joy o'er myself,     Prevented from a damned enterprise.     My fault, but not my body, pardon, sovereign.   KING HENRY. God quit you in his mercy! Hear your sentence.     You have conspir'd against our royal person,     Join'd with an enemy proclaim'd, and from his coffers     Receiv'd the golden earnest of our death;     Wherein you would have sold your king to slaughter,     His princes and his peers to servitude,     His subjects to oppression and contempt,     And his whole kingdom into desolation.     Touching our person seek we no revenge;     But we our kingdom's safety must so tender,     Whose ruin you have sought, that to her laws     We do deliver you. Get you therefore hence,     Poor miserable wretches, to your death;     The taste whereof God of his mercy give     You patience to endure, and true repentance     Of all your dear offences. Bear them hence.                      Exeunt CAMBRIDGE, SCROOP, and GREY, guarded     Now, lords, for France; the enterprise whereof     Shall be to you as us like glorious.     We doubt not of a fair and lucky war,     Since God so graciously hath brought to light     This dangerous treason, lurking in our way     To hinder our beginnings; we doubt not now     But every rub is smoothed on our way.     Then, forth, dear countrymen; let us deliver     Our puissance into the hand of God,     Putting it straight in expedition.     Cheerly to sea; the signs of war advance;     No king of England, if not king of France!                                                 Flourish. Exeunt     SCENE III. Eastcheap. Before the Boar's Head tavern  Enter PISTOL, HOSTESS, NYM, BARDOLPH, and Boy    HOSTESS. Prithee, honey-sweet husband, let me bring thee to      Staines.   PISTOL. No; for my manly heart doth earn.     Bardolph, be blithe; Nym, rouse thy vaunting veins;     Boy, bristle thy courage up. For Falstaff he is dead,     And we must earn therefore.   BARDOLPH. Would I were with him, wheresome'er he is, either in     heaven or in hell!   HOSTESS. Nay, sure, he's not in hell: he's in Arthur's bosom, if     ever man went to Arthur's bosom. 'A made a finer end, and went     away an it had been any christom child; 'a parted ev'n just     between twelve and one, ev'n at the turning o' th' tide; for     after I saw him fumble with the sheets, and play with flowers,     and smile upon his fingers' end, I knew there was but one way;     for his nose was as sharp as a pen, and 'a babbl'd of green     fields. 'How now, Sir John!' quoth I 'What, man, be o' good     cheer.' So 'a cried out 'God, God, God!' three or four times. Now     I, to comfort him, bid him 'a should not think of God; I hop'd     there was no need to trouble himself with any such thoughts yet.     So 'a bade me lay more clothes on his feet; I put my hand into     the bed and felt them, and they were as cold as any stone; then I     felt to his knees, and so upward and upward, and all was as cold     as any stone.   NYM. They say he cried out of sack.   HOSTESS. Ay, that 'a did.   BARDOLPH. And of women.   HOSTESS. Nay, that 'a did not.   BOY. Yes, that 'a did, and said they were devils incarnate.   HOSTESS. 'A could never abide carnation; 'twas a colour he never     liked.   BOY. 'A said once the devil would have him about women.   HOSTESS. 'A did in some sort, indeed, handle women; but then he was     rheumatic, and talk'd of the Whore of Babylon.   BOY. Do you not remember 'a saw a flea stick upon Bardolph's nose,     and 'a said it was a black soul burning in hell?   BARDOLPH. Well, the fuel is gone that maintain'd that fire: that's     all the riches I got in his service.   NYM. Shall we shog? The King will be gone from Southampton.   PISTOL. Come, let's away. My love, give me thy lips.     Look to my chattles and my moveables;     Let senses rule. The word is 'Pitch and Pay.'     Trust none;     For oaths are straws, men's faiths are wafer-cakes,     And Holdfast is the only dog, my duck.     Therefore, Caveto be thy counsellor.     Go, clear thy crystals. Yoke-fellows in arms,     Let us to France, like horse-leeches, my boys,     To suck, to suck, the very blood to suck.   BOY. And that's but unwholesome food, they say.   PISTOL. Touch her soft mouth and march.   BARDOLPH. Farewell, hostess.                     [Kissing her]   NYM. I cannot kiss, that is the humour of it; but adieu.   PISTOL. Let housewifery appear; keep close, I thee command.   HOSTESS. Farewell; adieu.                               Exeunt     SCENE IV. France. The KING'S palace  Flourish. Enter the FRENCH KING, the DAUPHIN, the DUKES OF BERRI and BRITAINE, the CONSTABLE, and others    FRENCH KING. Thus comes the English with full power upon us;     And more than carefully it us concerns     To answer royally in our defences.     Therefore the Dukes of Berri and of Britaine,     Of Brabant and of Orleans, shall make forth,     And you, Prince Dauphin, with all swift dispatch,     To line and new repair our towns of war     With men of courage and with means defendant;     For England his approaches makes as fierce     As waters to the sucking of a gulf.     It fits us, then, to be as provident     As fear may teach us, out of late examples     Left by the fatal and neglected English     Upon our fields.   DAUPHIN. My most redoubted father,     It is most meet we arm us 'gainst the foe;     For peace itself should not so dull a kingdom,     Though war nor no known quarrel were in question,     But that defences, musters, preparations,     Should be maintain'd, assembled, and collected,     As were a war in expectation.     Therefore, I say, 'tis meet we all go forth     To view the sick and feeble parts of France;     And let us do it with no show of fear-     No, with no more than if we heard that England     Were busied with a Whitsun morris-dance;     For, my good liege, she is so idly king'd,     Her sceptre so fantastically borne     By a vain, giddy, shallow, humorous youth,     That fear attends her not.   CONSTABLE. O peace, Prince Dauphin!     You are too much mistaken in this king.     Question your Grace the late ambassadors     With what great state he heard their embassy,     How well supplied with noble counsellors,     How modest in exception, and withal     How terrible in constant resolution,     And you shall find his vanities forespent     Were but the outside of the Roman Brutus,     Covering discretion with a coat of folly;     As gardeners do with ordure hide those roots     That shall first spring and be most delicate.   DAUPHIN. Well, 'tis not so, my Lord High Constable;     But though we think it so, it is no matter.     In cases of defence 'tis best to weigh     The enemy more mighty than he seems;     So the proportions of defence are fill'd;     Which of a weak and niggardly projection     Doth like a miser spoil his coat with scanting     A little cloth.   FRENCH KING. Think we King Harry strong;     And, Princes, look you strongly arm to meet him.     The kindred of him hath been flesh'd upon us;     And he is bred out of that bloody strain     That haunted us in our familiar paths.     Witness our too much memorable shame     When Cressy battle fatally was struck,     And all our princes capdv'd by the hand     Of that black name, Edward, Black Prince of Wales;     Whiles that his mountain sire- on mountain standing,     Up in the air, crown'd with the golden sun-     Saw his heroical seed, and smil'd to see him,     Mangle the work of nature, and deface     The patterns that by God and by French fathers     Had twenty years been made. This is a stern     Of that victorious stock; and let us fear     The native mightiness and fate of him.                        Enter a MESSENGER    MESSENGER. Ambassadors from Harry King of England     Do crave admittance to your Majesty.   FRENCH KING. We'll give them present audience. Go and bring them.                               Exeunt MESSENGER and certain LORDS     You see this chase is hotly followed, friends.   DAUPHIN. Turn head and stop pursuit; for coward dogs     Most spend their mouths when what they seem to threaten     Runs far before them. Good my sovereign,     Take up the English short, and let them know     Of what a monarchy you are the head.     Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin     As self-neglecting.                 Re-enter LORDS, with EXETER and train    FRENCH KING. From our brother of England?   EXETER. From him, and thus he greets your Majesty:     He wills you, in the name of God Almighty,     That you divest yourself, and lay apart     The borrowed glories that by gift of heaven,     By law of nature and of nations, 'longs     To him and to his heirs- namely, the crown,     And all wide-stretched honours that pertain,     By custom and the ordinance of times,     Unto the crown of France. That you may know     'Tis no sinister nor no awkward claim,     Pick'd from the worm-holes of long-vanish'd days,     Nor from the dust of old oblivion rak'd,     He sends you this most memorable line,       [Gives a paper]     In every branch truly demonstrative;     Willing you overlook this pedigree.     And when you find him evenly deriv'd     From his most fam'd of famous ancestors,     Edward the Third, he bids you then resign     Your crown and kingdom, indirectly held     From him, the native and true challenger.   FRENCH KING. Or else what follows?   EXETER. Bloody constraint; for if you hide the crown     Even in your hearts, there will he rake for it.     Therefore in fierce tempest is he coming,     In thunder and in earthquake, like a Jove,     That if requiring fail, he will compel;     And bids you, in the bowels of the Lord,     Deliver up the crown; and to take mercy     On the poor souls for whom this hungry war     Opens his vasty jaws; and on your head     Turning the widows' tears, the orphans' cries,     The dead men's blood, the privy maidens' groans,     For husbands, fathers, and betrothed lovers,     That shall be swallowed in this controversy.     This is his claim, his threat'ning, and my message;     Unless the Dauphin be in presence here,     To whom expressly I bring greeting too.   FRENCH KING. For us, we will consider of this further;     To-morrow shall you bear our full intent     Back to our brother of England.   DAUPHIN. For the Dauphin:     I stand here for him. What to him from England?   EXETER. Scorn and defiance, slight regard, contempt,     And anything that may not misbecome     The mighty sender, doth he prize you at.     Thus says my king: an if your father's Highness     Do not, in grant of all demands at large,     Sweeten the bitter mock you sent his Majesty,     He'll call you to so hot an answer of it     That caves and womby vaultages of France     Shall chide your trespass and return your mock     In second accent of his ordinance.   DAUPHIN. Say, if my father render fair return,     It is against my will; for I desire     Nothing but odds with England. To that end,     As matching to his youth and vanity,     I did present him with the Paris balls.   EXETER. He'll make your Paris Louvre shake for it,     Were it the mistress court of mighty Europe;     And be assur'd you'll find a difference,     As we his subjects have in wonder found,     Between the promise of his greener days     And these he masters now. Now he weighs time     Even to the utmost grain; that you shall read     In your own losses, if he stay in France.   FRENCH KING. To-morrow shall you know our mind at full.   EXETER. Dispatch us with all speed, lest that our king     Come here himself to question our delay;     For he is footed in this land already.   FRENCH KING. You shall be soon dispatch'd with fair conditions.     A night is but small breath and little pause     To answer matters of this consequence.      Flourish. Exeunt
