Prince. What! is 't a time to jest and dally now?
Fal. Well, if Percy be alive, I'll pierce him.
If he do come in my way, so: if he do not, if I

of me. I like not such grinning honour as Sir
Walter hath: give me life; which if I can save,
so; if not, honour comes unlooked for, and
there's an end. Exit.

Lord John of Lancaster, go you with him.
Lanc. Not I, my lord, unless I did bleed too. 4
Prince. I beseech your majesty, make up,
Lest your retirement do amaze your friends.
King. I will do so.
My Lord of Westmoreland, lead him to his tent. 8
West. Come, my lord, I'll lead you to your tent.
Prince. Lead me, my lord? I do not need your help:
And God forbid a shallow scratch should drive
The Prince of Wales from such a field as this, 12
