The moral view, and, I believe a most just historic view, which Shak- speare gives us, is this that, however the events are separated in time, all the after-misery of the reign of King John was the penal retribution for the murder of Arthur. In consequence of it, his continental dominions passed away from him, to make up the splendid French monarchy of the Capets ; and at home he struggled through a distracted reign, amid disloyal nobles and a discontented people. The sequel of the reign, after... Arthifr is taken prisoner, is finely told in the play, when the deep political sagacity of Cardinal Pandulph foretells the course of things. Exciting the Dauphin to claim the English throne, he bids him mark 4 'John hath seized Arthur, and it cannot be That, whiles warm life plays in that infant's veins, The misplaced John should entertain an hour, One minute, nay one quiet breath of rest: A sceptre, snatch'd with an unruly hand, Must be as boisterously maintained as gained; And he that stands upon a slippery place, Makes nice of no vile hold to stay him up : That John may stand, then Arthur needs must fall : So be it, for it cannot but be so.
