Scene 1

Time: 1547.

Setting: Westminster Palace, London. Gates leading to a

courtyard are at right. Slightly to left, off the courtyard and

inside the gates, the interior of a palace room is visible.

There is a couch with a rich robe draped on it, a screen at

rear, bell cord, mirror, chairs, and a table holding a bowl of

nuts and a large golden seal. A piece of armor hangs on one

wall. Exits rear and down stage.

At Rise: TWO GUARDS stand left and right of gates. Several

VILLAGERS hover nearby, straining to see into the courtyard

where the PRINCE is playing. TWO WOMEN enter right.

First Woman. I have walked all morning just to have a

glimpse of Westminster Palace.

Second Woman. Maybe if we can get near enough to the

gates, we can see the young prince.

[TOM CANTY, dirty and ragged, comes out of crowd and steps

close to gates.]

Tom. I have always dreamed of seeing a real prince!

(Excited, he presses his nose against gates.)

First Guard. Mind your manners, you young beggar!

(Seizes TOM by collar and sends him sprawling into crowd.)

[VILLAGERS laugh as TOM slowly gets to his feet.]

Prince (rushing to gates). How dare you treat a poor

subject of the king in such a manner! Open the gates and

let him in!

[As VILLAGERS see PRINCE, they remove hats and bow low.]

Villagers (shouting together). Long live the Prince of Wales!

[GUARDS open gates and TOM slowly passes through, as if in a

dream.]

Prince (to TOM). You look tired, and you have been treated

cruelly. I am Edward, Prince of Wales. What is your name?

Tom (in awe). Tom Canty, Your Highness.

Prince. Come into the palace with me, Tom. (PRINCE leads

TOM into anteroom.)

[VILLAGERS pantomime conversation, and all but a few exit.]

pantomime (pan√t¥•m¢m≈) v.:use actions or gestures with-out words as a means ofexpression.

Pause at line 47. What canyou tell about the princefrom his actions? Circle the text that answers thisquestion.

In line 55 is the wordanteroom. If you know thatthe prefix ante- means“comes before,” what wouldyou guess an anteroom is?

Where do you live, Tom?

Tom. In Offal Court, Your Highness.

Prince. Offal Court? That’s an odd name. Do you have

parents?

Tom. Yes, Your Highness.

Prince. How does your father treat you?

Tom. If it please you, Your Highness, when I am not able to

beg for a penny for our supper, he treats me to beatings.

Prince (shocked). What! My father is not a calm man, but

he does not beat me. (Looks at TOM thoughtfully) You speak

well and have an easy grace. Have you been schooled?

Tom. Very little, Your Highness. A good priest who shares

our house has taught me from his books.

Prince. Do you have a pleasant life in Offal Court?

Tom. Pleasant enough, Your Highness, save when I am

hungry. We have Punch and Judy shows, and sometimes we

lads have fights in the street.

Prince (eagerly). I should like that. Tell me more.

Tom. In summer, we run races and swim in the river, and

we love to wallow in the mud.

Prince (wistfully). If I could wear your clothes and play in

the mud just once, with no one to forbid me, I think I

could give up the crown!

Tom (shaking his head). And if I could wear your fine

clothes just once, Your Highness . . .

Prince. Would you like that? Come, then. We shall change

places. You can take off your rags and put on my clothes—

and I will put on yours. (He leads TOM behind screen, and

they return shortly, each wearing the other’s clothes.) Let’s

look in this mirror. (Leads TOM to mirror)

Pause at line 84. The princehas just reached a decision.Retell what he has decidedto do. What does he want?

Offal means “waste parts” or“garbage,” usually the partsof butchered animals thatare thrown away. What does this name suggestabout the place Tom lives(line 60)?

Tom. Oh, Your Highness, it is not proper for me to wear

such clothes.

Prince (excitedly). Heavens, do you not see it? We look like

brothers! We have the same features and bearing. If we

went about together, dressed alike, there is no one who

could say which is the Prince of Wales and which is

Tom Canty.

Tom (drawing back, rubbing his hand). Your Highness, I am

frightened. . . .

Prince. Do not worry. (Seeing TOM rub his hand) Is that a

bruise on your hand?

Tom. Yes, but it is slight thing, Your Highness.

Prince (angrily). It was shameful and cruel of that guard to

strike you. Do not stir a step until I come back. I command

you! (He picks up the golden seal and carefully puts it into a

piece of armor. He then dashes out to gates.) Open! Unbar

the gates at once!

[SECOND GUARD opens gates, and as PRINCE runs out, FIRST

GUARD seizes him, boxes him on the ear, and knocks him to

ground.]

First Guard. Take that, you little beggar, for the trouble you

have made for me with the prince.

[VILLAGERS roar with laughter.]

Prince (picking himself up, turning on GUARD furiously).

I am Prince of Wales! You shall hang for laying your hand

on me!

[PRINCE is surrounded by VILLAGERS, who hustle him off.]

Villagers (ad-lib as they exit, shouting). Make way for His

Royal Highness! Make way for the Prince of Wales! Hail to

the prince!

Tom (admiring himself in mirror). If only the boys in Offal

Court could see me! They will not believe me when I tell

them about this. (Looks around anxiously) But where is

the prince? (Looks cautiously into courtyard. TWO GUARDS

immediately snap to attention and salute. He quickly ducks

back into anteroom as LORDS ST. JOHN and HERTFORD enter

at rear.)

Hertford (going toward TOM, then stopping and bowing low).

My lord, you look distressed. What is wrong?

Tom (trembling). Oh, I beg of you, be merciful. I am no

prince, but poor Tom Canty of Offal Court. Please let

me see the prince, and he will give my rags back to me

and let me go unhurt. (Kneeling) Please, be merciful and

spare me!

Hertford (disturbed). Your Highness, on your knees? To

me? (Bows quickly, then aside to ST. JOHN) The prince has

gone mad! We must inform the king. (To TOM) A moment,

Your Highness.

[HERTFORD and ST. JOHN exit rear.]

Tom. Oh, there is no hope for me now. They will hang me

for certain!

[HERTFORD and ST. JOHN reenter, supporting the KING. TOM

watches in awe as they help him to couch, where he sinks

down wearily.]

King (beckoning TOM close to him). Now, my son, Edward,

my prince. What is this? Do you mean to deceive me, the

king, your father, who loves you and treats you so kindly?

Tom (dropping to his knees). You are the king? Then I have

no hope!

King (stunned). My child, you are not well. Do not break

your father’s old heart. Say you know me.

Tom. Yes, you are my lord the king, whom God preserve.

King. True, that is right. Now, you will not deny that you

are Prince of Wales, as they say you did just a while ago?

Tom. Your Grace, believe me, I am the lowest of your sub-

jects, being born a pauper, and it is by great mistake that

I am here. I am too young to die. Oh, please, spare me, sire!

King (amazed). Die? Do not talk so, my child. You shall

not die.

Tom (gratefully). God save you, my king! And now, may

I go?

King. Go? Where would you go?

Tom. Back to the alley where I was born and bred

to misery.

King. My poor child, rest your head here. (He holds TOM’s

head and pats his shoulder, then turns to HERTFORD and ST.

JOHN.) Alas, I am old and ill, and my son is mad. But this

shall pass. Mad or sane, he is my heir and shall rule

England. Tomorrow he shall be installed and confirmed

in his princely dignity! Bring the Great Seal!

Hertford (bowing low). Please, Your Majesty, you took the

Great Seal from the chancellor two days ago to give to His

Highness the prince.

King. So I did. (To TOM) My child, tell me, where is the

Great Seal?

Tom (trembling). Indeed, my lord, I do not know.

King. Ah, your affliction hangs heavily upon you. ’Tis no

matter. You will remember later. Listen, carefully! (Gently

but firmly) I command you to hide your affliction in all

ways that be within your power. You shall deny to no one

that you are the true prince, and if your memory should

fail you upon any occasion of state, you shall be advised by

your uncle, the Lord Hertford.

Tom (resigned). The king has spoken. The king shall

be obeyed.

King. And now, my child, I go to rest. (He stands weakly,

and HERTFORD leads him off, rear.)

Tom (wearily, to ST. JOHN). May it please your lordship to let

me rest now?

St. John. So it please Your Highness, it is for you to

command and us to obey. But it is wise that you rest,

for this evening you must attend the lord mayor’s banquet

in your honor.

[He pulls the bell cord, and THREE PAGES enter and kneel

before TOM.]

Tom. Banquet? (Terrified, he sits on the couch and reaches

for a cup of water, but the FIRST PAGE instantly seizes the cup,

He tries to remove his cape and gloves, and the THIRD PAGE

does it for him.) I wonder that you do not try to breathe for

me also! (Lies down cautiously. PAGES cover him with a robe,

then back away and exit.)

St. John (to HERTFORD, as he enters). Plainly, what do

you think?

Hertford. Plainly, this. The king is near death, my nephew

the Prince of Wales is clearly mad and will mount the

throne mad. God protect England, for she will need it!

St. John. Does it not seem strange that madness could so

change his manner from what it used to be? It troubles

me, his saying he is not the prince.

Hertford. Peace, my lord! If he were an impostor and

called himself the prince, that would be natural. But was

there ever an impostor who, being called prince by the

king and court, denied it? Never! This is the true prince

gone mad. And tonight all London shall honor him.

[HERTFORD and ST. JOHN exit. TOM sits up, looks around

helplessly, then gets up.]

Tom. I should have thought to order something to eat.

(Sees a bowl of nuts on the table) Ah! Here are some nuts!

(Looks around, sees the Great Seal in the armor, takes it out,

looks at it curiously) This will make a good nutcracker. (He

takes the bowl of nuts, sits on the couch, and begins to crack

nuts with the Great Seal and eat them as curtain falls.)

Scene 2

Time: Later that night.

Setting: A street in London near Offal Court.

At Rise: PRINCE limps in, dirty and untidy. He looks around

wearily. Several VILLAGERS pass by, pushing against him.

Prince. I have never seen this poor section of London. I

must be near Offal Court. If only I can find it before I

drop!

[JOHN CANTY steps out of crowd, seizes PRINCE roughly.]

Canty. Out at this time of night, and I warrant you haven’t

brought a farthing home! If that is the case and I do not

break all the bones in your miserable body, then I am not

John Canty!

Prince (eagerly). Oh, are you his father?

Canty. His father? I am your father, and—

Prince. Take me to the palace at once, and your son will be

returned to you. The king, my father, will make you rich

beyond your wildest dreams. Oh, save me, for I am indeed

the Prince of Wales.

Canty (staring in amazement). Gone stark mad! But mad or

not, I’ll soon find where the soft places lie in your bones.

Come home! (Starts to drag PRINCE off)

Prince (struggling). Let me go! I am the Prince of Wales,

and the king shall have your life for this!

Canty (angrily). I’ll take no more of your madness! (Raises

stick to strike, but PRINCE struggles free and runs off. CANTY

Setting: Same as Scene 1, with addition of a dining table,

set with dishes and goblets, on a raised platform.

Thronelike chair is at the head of table.

At Rise: A banquet is in progress. TOM, in royal robes, sits

at the head of table, with HERTFORD at his right and ST. JOHN

at his left. LORDS and LADIES sit around the table, eating and

talking softly.

Tom (to HERTFORD). What is this, my lord? (Holds up plate)

Hertford. Lettuce and turnips, Your Highness.

Tom. Lettuce and turnips? I have never seen them before.

Am I to eat them?

Hertford (discreetly). Yes, Your Highness, if you so desire.

is heard, and HERALD enters carrying scroll. All turn to look.]

Herald (reading from scroll). His Majesty, King Henry VIII,

is dead! The king is dead!

less. Here I stand to prove it, and you might have a worse

friend than Miles Hendon.

First Villager. ’Tis another prince in disguise. Take the lad

and dunk him in the pond!

Crowd, now angry, presses forward threateningly when the

fanfare of trumpets is heard offstage. HERALD, carrying scroll,

enters up left at gates.]

from scroll) His Majesty, King Henry VIII is dead! The

king is dead!

dishes and bowls of food, a chair at each side. At left is bed,

with table and chair next to it, and a window. Candle is

Miles. I have had a hot supper prepared. I’ll bet you’re

hungry, lad.

Prince. Yes, I am. It’s kind of you to let me stay with you,

Miles. I am truly Edward, king of England, and you shall

not go unrewarded. (Sits at table)

king. Well, I will humor him. (Starts to sit)

the king?

Your Majesty. I was not thinking. (Stares uncertainly at

Prince. Miles, you have a gallant way about you. Are you

nobly born?

Miles. My father is a baronet, Your Majesty.

Prince. Then you also must be a baronet.

Miles (shaking his head). My father banished me from

home seven years ago, so I fought in the wars. I was taken

prisoner, and I have spent the past seven years in prison.

Now I am free, and I am returning home.

Prince. You must have been shamefully wronged! But I

will make things right for you. You have saved me from

injury and possible death. Name your reward and if it be

within the compass of my royal power, it is yours.

Miles (pausing briefly, then dropping to his knee). Since

Your Majesty is pleased to hold my simple duty worthy

of reward, I ask that I and my successors may hold the

privilege of sitting in the presence of the king.

Prince (taking MILES’s sword, tapping him lightly on each

shoulder). Rise and seat yourself. (Returns sword to MILES,

then rises and goes over to bed)

Miles (aside). He should have been born a king. He plays

the part to a marvel! If I had not thought of this favor, I

might have had to stand for weeks. (Sits down and begins

to eat)

Prince. Sir Miles, you will stand guard while I sleep. (Lies

down and instantly falls asleep)

Miles. Yes, Your Majesty. (With a rueful look at his uneaten

supper, he stands up.) Poor little chap. I suppose his mind

has been disordered with ill usages. (Covers PRINCE with his

cape) Well, I will be his friend and watch over him. (Blows

Woman. Help! Thief! Stop, thief! (Rushes at PRINCE and

seizes him just as several VILLAGERS enter) You little thief!

What do you mean by robbing a poor woman? Somebody

bring the constable!

[MILES enters and watches.]

First Villager (grabbing PRINCE). I’ll teach him a lesson, the

little villain!

Prince (struggling). Unhand me! I did not rob this woman!

Miles (stepping forth and pushing man back with the flat

of his sword). Let us proceed gently, my friends. This is a

matter for the law.

Prince (springing to MILES’s side). You have come just in

time, Sir Miles. Carve this rabble to rags!

Miles. Speak softly. Trust in me and all shall go well.

[CONSTABLE enters.]

Constable (reaching for PRINCE). Come along, young rascal!

Miles. Gently, good friend. He shall go peaceably to

the justice.

Prince. I will not go before a justice! I did not do

this thing!

Miles (taking him aside). Sire, will you reject the laws of the

realm, yet demand that your subjects respect them?

Prince (after a pause; calmly). You are right, Sir Miles.

Whatever the king requires a subject to suffer under the

law, he will suffer himself while he holds the station of

a subject.

Scene 6

Setting: Office of the justice. A high bench is at center.

At Rise: JUSTICE sits behind bench. CONSTABLE enters with

MILES and PRINCE, followed by VILLAGERS. WOMAN carries

wrapped bundle.

Constable (to JUSTICE). A young thief, your worship,

is accused of stealing a dressed pig from this poor woman.

Justice (looking down at PRINCE, then WOMAN). My good

woman, are you absolutely certain this lad stole

your pig?

Woman. It was none other than he, your worship.

Justice. Are there no witnesses to the contrary? (All shake

their heads.) Then the lad stands convicted. (To WOMAN)

What do you hold this property to be worth?

Woman. Three shillings and eight pence, your worship.

Justice (leaning down to WOMAN). Good woman, do you

know that when one steals a thing above the value of

thirteen pence, the law says he shall hang for it?

Woman (upset). Oh, what have I done? I would not hang

the poor boy for the whole world! Save me from this, your

worship. What can I do?

Justice (gravely). You may revise the value, since it is not

yet written in the record.

Woman. Then call the pig eight pence, your worship.

Justice. So be it. You may take your property and go.

[WOMAN starts off and is followed by CONSTABLE. MILES follows

them cautiously down right.]

Constable (stopping WOMAN). Good woman, I will buy

your pig from you. (Takes coins from his pocket) Here is

eight pence.

Woman. Eight pence! It cost me three shillings and

eight pence.

Constable. Indeed! Then come back before his worship

and answer for this. The lad must hang!

Woman. No! No! Say no more. Give me the eight pence

and hold your peace.

[CONSTABLE hands her coins and takes pig. WOMAN exits,

angrily. MILES returns to bench.]

Justice. The boy is sentenced to a fortnight in the common

jail. Take him away, Constable! (JUSTICE exits.)

[PRINCE gives MILES a nervous glance.]

Miles (following CONSTABLE). Good sir, turn your back a

moment and let the poor lad escape. He is innocent.

Constable (outraged). What? You say this to me? Sir, I arrest

you in—

Miles. Do not be so hasty! (Slyly) The pig you have pur-

chased for eight pence may cost you your neck, man.

Constable (laughing nervously). Ah, but I was merely jest-

ing with the woman, sir.

Miles. Would the justice think it a jest?

Constable. Good sir! The justice has no more sympathy

with a jest than a dead corpse! (Perplexed) Very well, I will

turn my back and see nothing! But go quickly! (Exits)

Miles (to PRINCE). Come, my liege. We are free to go.

And that band of thieves shall not set hands on you again.

I swear it!

Prince (wearily). Can you believe, Sir Miles, that in the last

fortnight, I, the king of England, have escaped from thieves

and begged for food on the road? I have slept in a barn

with a calf! I have washed dishes in a peasant’s kitchen and

narrowly escaped death. And not once in all my wanderings

did I see a courier searching for me! Is it not matter for

commotion and distress that the head of state is gone?

Miles (sadly, aside). Still busy with his pathetic dream.

(To PRINCE) It is strange indeed, my liege. But come, I will

take you to my father’s home in Kent. There you may rest

in a house with seventy rooms! I am all impatient to be

home again!

[They exit, MILES cheerful, PRINCE puzzled, as curtains close.]

Scene 7

Setting: Village jail. Bare stage, with barred window on

one wall.

At Rise: TWO PRISONERS, in chains, are onstage. JAILER

shoves MILES and PRINCE, in chains, onstage. They struggle

and protest.

Miles. But I tell you, I am Miles Hendon! My brother,

Sir Hugh, has stolen my bride and my estate!

Jailer. Be silent! Sir Hugh will see that you pay well for

claiming to be his dead brother and for assaulting him in

his own house! (Exits)

Miles (sitting with head in hands). Oh, my dear Edith . . .

now wife to my brother, Hugh, against her will, and my

poor father . . . dead!

First Prisoner. At least you have your life, sir. I am to be

hanged for killing a deer in the king’s park.

Second Prisoner. And I must hang for stealing a yard of

cloth to dress my children.

Prince (moved; to PRISONERS). When I mount the throne,

you shall all be free. And the laws that have dishonored

you shall be swept from the books. (Turning away) Kings

should go to school to learn their own laws and be

merciful.

First Prisoner. What does the lad mean? I have heard that

the king is mad, but merciful.

Second Prisoner. He is to be crowned at Westminster

tomorrow.

Prince (violently). King? What king, good sir?

First Prisoner. Why, we have only one, his most sacred

majesty, King Edward VI.

Second Prisoner. Whether he be mad or not, his praises

are on all men’s lips. He has saved many innocent lives,

and plans to destroy the cruelest laws that oppress people.

Prince (turning away, shaking his head). How can this be?

Surely it is not that little beggar boy!

Miles. Hugh, this has gone far enough!

Sir Hugh. You will sit in the public stocks, and the boy

would join you if he were not so young. See to it, jailer, and

after two hours, you may release them. Meanwhile, I ride to

London for the coronation!

[SIR HUGH exits and MILES is hustled out by JAILER.]

Prince. Coronation! There can be no coronation

without me!

Scene 8

Time: Coronation Day.

Setting: Outside gates of Westminster Abbey. Throne is

center. A bench is near it.

At Rise: LORDS and LADIES crowd abbey. Outside gates,

GUARDS drive back cheering VILLAGERS, among them MILES.

Miles (distraught). I’ve lost him! Poor little chap! He has

been swallowed up in the crowd!

[Fanfare of trumpets is heard, then HERTFORD, ST. JOHN,

LORDS and LADIES enter slowly, followed by PAGES, one of

whom carries the crown on small cushion. TOM follows the

in rags, steps from the crowd, his hand raised.]

Prince. I forbid you to set the crown of England upon that

head. I am the king!

Hertford. Seize the vagabond!

Tom. I forbid it! He is the king! (Kneeling before PRINCE)

Oh, my lord the king, let poor Tom Canty be the first

to say, “Put on your crown and enter into your own

right again.”

[HERTFORD and several LORDS look closely at both boys.]

Hertford. This is strange indeed. (To TOM) By your favor,

sir, I wish to ask certain questions of this lad.

Prince. I will answer truly whatever you may ask, my lord.

Hertford. But if you have been well trained, you may

answer my questions as well as our lord the king. I need

definite proof. (Thinks a moment) Ah! Where lies the Great

Seal of England? It has been missing for weeks, and only

the true Prince of Wales can say where it lies.

Tom. Wait! Was the seal round and thick, with letters

engraved on it? (HERTFORD nods.) I know where it is, but it

was not I who put it there. The rightful king shall tell you.

(To PRINCE) Think, my king, it was the very last thing you

did that day before you rushed out of the palace wearing

my rags.

Prince (pausing). I recall how we exchanged clothes, but

have no recollection of hiding the Great Seal.

Tom (eagerly). Remember when you saw the bruise on my

hand you ran to the door, but first you hid this thing you

call the seal.

for all to see.]

All (shouting). Long live Edward, king of England!

[TOM takes off cape and throws it over PRINCE’s rags. Trumpet

fanfare is heard. ST. JOHN takes the crown and places it on the

PRINCE. All kneel.]

Hertford. Let the small impostor be flung into the tower!

Prince (firmly). I will not have it so. But for him, I would

not have my crown. (To TOM) My poor boy, how was it you

could remember where I hid the seal?

Tom (embarrassed). I did not know what it was, my king,

and I used it to . . . to crack nuts.

First Guard (rushing up to him). Stand up, you mannerless

clown! How dare you sit in the presence of the king!

Prince. Do not touch him! He is my trusty servant, Miles

Hendon, who saved me from shame and possible death.

For his service, he owns the right to sit in my presence.

Miles (bowing, then kneeling). Your Majesty!

Prince. Rise, Sir Miles. I command that Sir Hugh Hendon,

who sits within this hall, be seized and put under lock and

key until I have need of him. (Beckons to TOM) From what I

have heard, Tom Canty, you have governed the realm with

royal gentleness and mercy in my absence. Henceforth, you

shall hold the honorable title of king’s ward! (TOM kneels

and kisses PRINCE’s hand.) And because I have suffered with

the poorest of my subjects and felt the cruel force of unjust

laws, I pledge myself to a reign of mercy for all!

of England!
