Monologue

French Herald Monologue from King John

From King John by William Shakespeare

male · anguished · 47 sec

You men of Angiers, open wide your gates, And let young Arthur, Duke of Brittany, in, Who by the hand of France this day hath made Much work for tears in many an English mother, Whose sons lie scatter’d on the bleeding ground. Many a widow’s husband grovelling lies, Coldly embracing the discolour’d earth; And victory, with little loss, doth play Upon the dancing banners of the French, Who are at hand, triumphantly display’d, To enter conquerors, and to proclaim Arthur of Brittany England’s king and yours. Enter English Herald with Trumpet.
