He may show what outward courage he will; but I believe, as cold a night as 'tis, he could wish himself in Thames up to the neck; and so I would he were, and I by him. Williams:
But if the cause be not good, the King himself hath a heavy reckoning to make, when all those legs and arms and heads, chopped off in a battle, shall join together at the latter day and cry all, "We died at such a place," some swearing, some crying for a surgeon, some upon their wives left poor behind them, some upon the debts they owe, some upon their children rawly left. I am afeard there are few die well in a battle; for how can they charitably dispose of anything when blood is their argument?

He may show what
outward courage he will,
00:00:05.837 --> 00:00:07.937
but I believe as
cold a night as 'tis...
00:00:08.038 --> 00:00:11.024
that he could wish himself
in Thames up to the neck.
00:00:11.341 --> 00:00:15.004
And so I would he were, and I by him.
00:00:15.847 --> 00:00:18.939
At all adventures,
so we were quit here.
00:00:19.417 --> 00:00:22.753
I think he would not wish himself
anywhere but where he is.
00:00:22.854 --> 00:00:25.584
Then I would he were here alone.
00:00:27.727 --> 00:00:30.394
Methinks I could not die
anywhere so contented...
00:00:30.495 --> 00:00:32.464
as in the king's company,
00:00:32.565 --> 00:00:37.364
his cause being just
and his quarrel honourable.
00:00:37.067 --> 00:00:39.703
That's more than we know.
00:00:39.804 --> 00:00:41.871
Aye, and more than
we should seek after.
00:00:41.972 --> 00:00:45.323
We know enough if we know
we are the king's subject.
00:00:45.393 --> 00:00:48.109
If his cause be wrong,
our obedience to the king...
00:00:48.021 --> 00:00:51.003
wipes the crime of it out of us.
00:00:53.645 --> 00:00:56.637
But if the cause be not good,
00:00:56.676 --> 00:00:59.713
the king himself hath
a heavy reckoning to make.
00:01:00.998 --> 00:01:04.149
And all those legs and arms and
heads chopped off in the battle...
00:01:04.025 --> 00:01:08.286
will join together at
the latter day and cry all,
00:01:09.363 --> 00:01:12.999
"we died at such a place."
00:01:13.389 --> 00:01:18.371
Some swearing,
some crying for a surgeon,
00:01:18.001 --> 00:01:21.425
some upon their wives
left poor behind them,
00:01:21.526 --> 00:01:24.416
some upon the debts they owe,
00:01:24.461 --> 00:01:27.052
some upon their children rawly left.
00:01:33.002 --> 00:01:35.001
I'm afeared there are few die well...
00:01:35.098 --> 00:01:38.349
that die in a battle...
00:01:38.372 --> 00:01:41.997
for how can they charitably
dispose of anything...
00:01:42.001 --> 00:01:44.437
when blood is their argument?
00:01:45.001 --> 00:01:50.999
Now if these men do not die well,
00:01:50.202 --> 00:01:55.998
it will be a black matter for
the king that led them to it.
00:01:55.999 --> 00:01:58.614
So if a son that is by his father
sent about merchandise...
00:01:58.715 --> 00:02:01.149
do sinfully miscarry upon the sea,
00:02:01.025 --> 00:02:04.242
the imputation of
his wickedness, by your rule,
00:02:04.001 --> 00:02:07.994
should be imposed upon
the father that sent him?
00:02:07.185 --> 00:02:08.001
But this is not so.
00:02:09.142 --> 00:02:13.001
The king is not bound to answer the
particular endings of his soldiers...
