RECITATION.

We have selected passages from the works of England's two greatest poets, William Shakspeare and John Milton, for the use of the pupil teacher at the end of the third year. He will thus be able to choose the hundred lines which have to be learned for the Government Examination, either from the passages we now present, or from those we have already given in the Pupil Teachers' Course, First Year.

Sketches of the life and writings of Shakspeare and Milton are given in the Book for the Fourth Year.

Henry V. and the Lord Chief Justice.

(Shakspeare, Henry IV. Part II. Act V. Scene 2.)
Scene. Westminster, a room in the Palace.

Speakers-King Henry V., the Lord Chief Justice Gascoigne,

and Princes.

Henry V. has just succeeded to the crown on the death of his father. He had hitherto been known for the wildness of his life; and the grave councillors of Henry IV. were afraid that they would suffer under the new monarch. Judge Gascoigne, in particular, had reason to apprehend danger from the wrath of Henry V., whom he had formerly been obliged, in the exercise of his duty, to commit to prison. (See English History, Henry IV. and V.)

Enter KING HENRY V.

CH. JUST. Good morrow; and God save your majesty !
KING. This new and gorgeous garment, majesty,

236

Sits not so easy on me as you think.

Brothers, you mix your sadness with some fear;
5 This is the English, not the Turkish court;
Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds,

But Harry, Harry. Yet be sad, good brothers,
For, to speak truth, it very well becomes you;
Sorrow so royally in you appears,

10 That I will deeply put the fashion on,

And wear it in my heart. Why then, be sad :
But entertain no more of it, good brothers,
Than a joint burthen laid upon us all.
For me, by heaven, I bid you be assured,
15 I'll be your father and your brother too;

20

25

:

Let me but bear your love, I'll bear your cares.
Yet weep, that Harry's dead; and so will I:
But Harry lives, that shall convert those tears,
By number, into hours of happiness.

PRINCES. We hope no other from your majesty.
KING. You all look strangely on me :-and you most;
You are, I think, assur'd I love you not.

[To the Lord Chief Justice.

CH. JUST. I am assur'd, if I be measur'd rightly,
Your majesty hath no just cause to hate me.

KING. No!

How might a prince of my great hopes forget
So great indignities you laid upon me?

What! rate, rebuke, and roughly send to prison The immediate heir of England! Was this easy? 30 May this be washed in Lethe, and forgotten?

CH. JUST. I then did use the person of your father; The image of his power lay then in me : And, in the administration of his law, Whiles I was busy for the commonwealth, 35 Your highness pleased to forget my place, The majesty and power of law and justice, The image of the king whom I presented,

And struck me in my very seat of judgment;
Whereon, as an offender to your father,
40 I gave bold way to my authority,

And did commit you. If the deed were ill,
Be you contented, wearing now the garland,
To have a son set your decrees at nought;
To pluck down justice from your awful bench;
45 To trip the course of law, and blunt the sword
That guards the peace and safety of your person:
Nay, more; to spurn at your most royal image,
And mock your workings in a second body.
Question your royal thoughts, make the case yours ;

50 Be now the father, and propose a son :

Hear your own dignity so much profan'd,
See your most dreadful laws so loosely slighted,
Behold yourself so by a son disdain'd ;
And then imagine me taking your part,
55 And, in your power, soft silencing your son :
After this cold considerance, sentence me ;
And, as you are a king, speak in your state,
What I have done, that misbecame my place,

60

My person, or my liege's sovereignty.

KING. You are right, Justice, and you weigh this well; Therefore still bear the balance, and the sword:

And I do wish your honours may increase,

Till you do live to see a son of mine
Offend you, and obey you, as I did.

65 So shall I live to speak my father's words;
Happy am I that have a man so bold,
That dares do justice on my proper son:
And not less happy, having such a son,
That would deliver up his greatness so
70 Into the hands of justice.-You did commit me :
For which, I do commit into your hand

The unstain'd sword that you have us'd to bear :
With this remembrance,-That you use the same

With the like bold, just, and impartial spirit,

75 As you have done 'gainst me.

There is my

You shall be as a father to my youth;

hand;

My voice shall sound as you do prompt mine ear;
And I will stoop and humble my intents
To your well-practis'd, wise directions.—
80 And, princes all, believe me, I beseech you ;—
My father is gone wild into his grave,
For in his tomb lie my affections ;
And with his spirit sadly I survive,
To mock the expectation of the world,
85 To frustrate prophecies, and to raze out
Rotten opinion, who hath writ me down
After my seeming. The tide of blood in me
Hath proudly flow'd in vanity, till now;
Now doth it turn, and ebb back to the sea;
90 Where it shall mingle with the state of floods,
And flow henceforth in formal majesty.

Now call we our high court of parliament;
And let us choose such limbs of noble counsel,
That the great body of our state may go
95 In equal rank with the best-govern'd nation;
That war, or peace, or both at once, may be
As things acquainted and familiar to us ;—
In which you, father, shall have foremost hand.-
[To the Lord Chief Justice.

Our coronation done, we will accite,

100 As I before remember'd, all our state :

And (God consigning to my good intents,)

No prince, nor peer, shall have just cause to say,-
Heaven shorten Harry's happy life one day.
