King John
[II, 1]

King John

864

We will heal up all;
For we'll create young Arthur Duke of Bretagne
And Earl of Richmond; and this rich fair town
We make him lord of. Call the Lady Constance;
Some speedy messenger bid her repair
To our solemnity: I trust we shall,
If not fill up the measure of her will,
Yet in some measure satisfy her so
That we shall stop her exclamation.
Go we, as well as haste will suffer us,
To this unlook'd for, unprepared pomp.

Being unprepared,
Our will became the servant to defect;
Which else should free have wrought.

Vincentio

A creature unprepared, unmeet for death;
And to transport him in the mind he is
Were damnable.

Well, do it, and be brief; I will walk by:
I would not kill thy unprepared spirit;
No; heaven forfend! I would not kill thy soul.

Sir William Catesby

'Tis a vile thing to die, my gracious lord,
When men are unprepared and look not for it.
