KING HENRY

Call him hither to me, soldier. [145]

WILLIAMS
I will, my liege.
Exit.

KING HENRY
Here, Fluellen; wear thou this favour for me and stick it in thy cap. When

Alençon and myself were down together I plucked this glove from his helm: if
any man challenge this, he is a friend to Alençon and [150] an enemy to our
person; if thou encounter any such, apprehend him, an thou dost me love.

FLUELLEN
Your grace doo’s me as great honours as can be desired in the hearts of his
subjects: I would fain see the man that has but two legs that shall find

himself aggriefed [155] at this glove, that is all; but I would fain see it once,
and please God of his grace that I might see.

KING HENRY
Knowest thou Gower?

FLUELLEN
He is my dear friend, an please you.

KING HENRY
Pray thee, go seek him, and bring him to [160] my tent.

FLUELLEN
I will fetch him.

Exit.

KING HENRY
My Lord of Warwick, and my brother Gloucester,
Follow Fluellen closely at the heels.
The glove which I have given him for a favour [165]
May haply purchase him a box o’ th’ ear;
