Context
In the English camp, King Henry has borrowed a dirty old cloak and disguised himself as a common soldier. He has been walking around, listening in on the conversations of the soldiers. Here, he engages in conversation with three common soldiers: Court, Bates, and Williams. All three men heartily wish they were back at home. They question the King's motives and wonder whether if he is really as brave as he claims. None of the men realize that they are speaking with the King himself.
