HOTSPUR

               O Douglas, hadst thou fought at Holmedon thus,
               I never had triumphed upon a Scot. [15]



              DOUGLAS
               All’s done, all’s won. Here breathless lies the king.



              HOTSPUR
          Where?



              DOUGLAS
          Here.



              HOTSPUR

               This, Douglas? No. I know this face full well.
               A gallant knight he was, his name was Blunt; [20]
               Semblably furnished like the king himself.



              DOUGLAS
               A fool go with thy soul, whither it goes!
               A borrowed title hast thou bought too dear:

               Why didst thou tell me that thou wert a king?


              HOTSPUR

               The king hath many marching in his coats. [25]



              DOUGLAS
               Now, by my sword, I will kill all his coats,
               I’ll murder all his wardrobe, piece by piece,
               Until I meet the king.



              HOTSPUR

                               Up and away!
               Our soldiers stand full fairly for the day.
                                                                                                        Exeunt.


                                             Alarum. Enter Falstaff solus.
