• 3:32
  Speaker 1: John of Gaunt, with other nobles and attendants.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Old John of Gaunt, time Honor Lancaster. Hast Thou, according

  Speaker 2: to thy oaphan band, brought hither Henry Hereford thy bold
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Son here to make good the boisterous late appeal which
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: then our leisure would not let us hear against the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Duke of Norfolk. Thomas Mowbray, I have my liege tell
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: me moreover, hast thou sounded him if he appeal'd a
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: duke on ancient malice or worthily, as a good subject should,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: on some known ground of treachery in him.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: As near as I could sift him on that argument,
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: on some apparent danger seen in him, aim'd at your Highness,
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: no inveterate malice.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Then call them to our presence, face to face, and
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: frowning brow to brow ourselves will hear the accuser and
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the accused freely speak, high stomached, are they both and
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: full of ire, enraged death as the sea hasty as.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Fire, enter Bolingbroke and Mowbray. Many years of happy days
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: befall my gracious Sovereign, my most loving liege, each.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Day's still better other's happiness, until the heaven's envying Earth.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Could have add an amort titled your crown.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: We thank you both, yet one but flatters us as well.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Appear as by the cause you come namely to appeal
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: each other of high treason, Cousin of Hereford, What dost
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: thou object against the Duke of Norfolk, Thomas Mowbray.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: First, Heaven be the record to my speech in the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: devotion of a subject's love, tendering the precious safety of
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: my prince, and free from other misbegotten hate, Come I
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: appellant to this princely presence Now, Thomas Mowbray, Do I
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: turn to thee and mark my greeting well? For what
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I speak, my body shall make good upon this earth,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: or my divine soul answer it in heaven. Thou art
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a traitor and a miscreant, too good to be so,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: and too bad to live. Since the more fair and
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: crystal is the sky, the uglier seem the clouds in
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: it fly once more, the more to aggravate the note
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: with a foul traitor's name. Stuff I thy throat, and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: wish so please my sovereign. Ere I move what my
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: tongue speaks, my right drawn sword may prove.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Let not my cold words here accuse my zeal tis
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: not the trial of a woman's war. The bitter clamor
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: of two eager tongues can arbitrate this cause betwixt us twain.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: The blood is hot that must be cooled for this.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Yet can I not have such tem patients boast as
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: to be hushed, and not at all to say first
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: that their reverence of your Highness curves me from giving
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: reins and spurs to my free speech, which else would
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: post until it had returned these terms of treason. Doubled
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: down his throat, setting aside his high blood's royalty, and
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: let him be no kinsman to my liege I do
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: defy him, and I spit at him, call him Flandre's
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: coward and a villain which to maintain. I allow him
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: odds and meet him where I tie to run afoot,
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: even to the frozen ridges of the Alps, or any
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: other ground inhabitable, wherever Englishman doth set his foot. Meantime,
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: let this defend my loyalty by all my hopes. Most
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: falsely doth he lie.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Pale, trembling coward. There I throw my gauge, disclaiming hear
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the kindred of the king, and lay aside my high
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: blood's royalty, which fear not reverence makes THEE to accept.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: If guilty dread have left THEE so much strength as
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to take up mine honors pawn, then stoop by that
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: all the rights of knighthood. Else will I make good
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: against THEE? Arm to arm what I have spoke, or
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: thou canst worst devise, I take it up.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: And by that sword I swear, which gently laid my
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: mind knighthood on my shoulder. I'll answer THEE in any
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: fair degree or chivalrous design of nightly trial. And when
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: I mount alive, may I not light if I be
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: traitor or unjustly fight.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: What does our cousin lay to Mowbray's charge. It must
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: be great that can inherit us so much as of
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: a thought of ill in him.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Look what I speak, My life shall prove it true
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: that Mowbray hath received eight thousand nobles in name of
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: lendings for your highness soldiers, the which he hath detained
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: for Lewde employments like a false traitor and injurious villain. Besides,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I say, I am going to battle, prove, or hear
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: or elsewhere to the furthest verge that ever was surveyed
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: by English eye, that all the treasons for these eighteen
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: years complotted and contrived in this land fetch from thoughts
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Mowbray their first head and spring. Further, I say, and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: further will maintain upon his bad life to make all
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: this good that he did plot. The Duke of Glocester's
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: death suggestives soon believing adversaries, and consequently, like a traitor coward,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: slewict out his innocent soul through streams of blood, which
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: blood like sacrificing. Abel's cries even from the tongueless caverns
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: of the earth to me for justice and rough chastismant,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and by the glorious worth of my descent, this arm
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: shall do it. All this life be spent.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: How high a pitch his resolution source Thomas of Norfolk,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: What sest thou to this?
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Let my sovereign turn away his face and bid his
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: ears a little while be deaf till I have told
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: this slander of his blood? How God and good men
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: hate so foul a.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Liar Mowbray impart la our eyes and ears? Were he
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: my brother, nay my kingdom's heir, as he is, but
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: my father's brother's son. Now by my scepters, all I
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: make a vow such neighbor nearness to our sacred blood,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: should nothing privilege him nor partialize the unstooping firmness of
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: my upright soul. He is our subject, Mowbray, so art
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: thou free speech and fearless I to dee allow.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Then belingbroke as low as to thy heart through the
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: false passage of thy throat thou liest. Three parts of
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: that receipt I had the calais dispersed I duly to
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: his highness soldiers. The other part reserved I by consent
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: for that my sovereign liege was in my debt upon
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: remainder of a dear account, since last I went to
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: France to fetch his queen, now swallow down that lie
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: for Gloucester's death. I slew him not, but to my
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: own disgrace, neglected my swarm duty in that case for you,
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: my noble Lord of Lancaster, the honorable father of my foe.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Once did I lay in ambush for your life, a
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: trespass that doth vex my grieved soul. But ere I
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: last received the sacrament, I did confess it and exactly
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: begged your Grace's pardon, and I hope I had it.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: This is my.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: Fault, as for the rest appealed. It issues from the
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: rancor of a villain, a recreant and most degenerate traitor,
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: which in myself I boldly will defend, and interchangeably hurled
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: down my gauge upon this overweening traitor's foot, to prove
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: myself a loyal gentleman, even in the best blood chambered
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: in his bosom in hastewhereof most heartily, I pray your
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Highness to assign our trial day rath.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Kindle gentlemen, be rude by me. Let's purch this coola
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: without letting blood. This we prescribe, though no physician. Deep
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: malice makes too deep incision. Forget, forgive, conclude, and be agreed.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Our doctors say this is no month to bleed. Good uncle,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: let this end where it begun. We'll calm the Duke
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: of Norfolk.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: You your son to be a magpiece, shall become my age.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: Throw down my son, the Duke of Norfolk's gage.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: And Norfolk throw down his.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: When harry, when obedience bids, I should not bid again.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Norfolk throw down we bid.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: There is no boot myself. I thrive dread sovereign at
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: thy foot my life. Thou shalt command, but not my shame,
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: the one my duty owes my fair name, despite of
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: death that lives upon my grain. To darknesshonors use, thou
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: shalt not have. I am disgrace at, impeached and baffled.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: Here pierce it to the soul with slander's venomed spear,
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: to which no bomb can cure. But his heart blood
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: which breatheth this poison.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Rage must be withstood. Give me his gauge. Lions, make
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: leopards tame yea, but.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Not change his spots. Take but my shame, and I
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: recite my gauge, My dear dear lord, the purest treasure
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: mortal times afford is spotless reputation. That away men are
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: but gilded loam or painted clay, a jewel and a
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: ten times barred up chest. Is a bold spirit and
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: a loyal breast. When honor is my life, both grow
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: in one. Take honor from me, and my life is done. Then,
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: dear my liege, mine honor. Let me try, and that
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: I live, And for that will I die?
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Cousin throw up your gauge, do you begin, Oh.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: God, defend my soul from such deep sin? Shall I
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: seem crestfallen in my father's sight, or with pale beggar fear,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: impeach my height before this out dared dastard ere my
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: tongue shall wound my honor with such feeble wrong or
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: sound so base apil my teeth shall tear the slavish
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: mote of every canting fear, and spit it bleeding in
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: his high disgrace, where shame doth harbor even in Mowbray's face,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: exit gaunt.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: We were not born to sue, but to command, which
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: since we cannot do to make you friends, be ready
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: as your lives shall answer it at Coventry upon Saint
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Lambert's day. This shall your swords and glances arbitrayed the
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: swelling difference of your settled hate. Since we can not
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: atone you, we shall see justice design the victor's chivalry.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Lord Marshall, command our officers at arms be ready to
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: direct these home alarms.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Excellent Scene two, the Duke of Lancaster's palace, enter John
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: of Gaunt with the Duchess of Gloucester.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: Alas the part that I had in Woodstock's blood, that
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: more solicit me than you'll exclaims to stir against the
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: butchers of his life. But since correction lieth in those
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: hands which made the fault that we cannot correct, put
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: we our quarrel to the will of Heaven, who, when
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: they see the hours ripe on earth, will reign hot
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: vengeance on offender's heads.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Fines brotherhood in thee, no sharp phsper hath love in
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: thy old blood, no living fire. Edward's seven sons, whereof
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: thyself at one, whereas seven vials of his sacred blood,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: or seven fair branches springing from one root. Some of
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: those seven are dried by nature's course, some of those
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: branches by the destiny's cut. But Thomas, my dear lord,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: my life, my Gloucester, one vile full of Edward's sacred blood,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: one flourishing branch of his most royal root is cracked,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: and all the precious liquors built is hacked down, and
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: his summer leaves all faded by envy's hand and murder's
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: bloody axe. Ah Gaunt, His blood was thine, that bed,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: that womb, that metal, that self mold, that fashioned thee
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: made him a man. And though thou livest and breathest,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: yet art thou slain in him? Thou dost consent in
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: some large measure to thy father's death. In that thou
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: seest thy wretched brother die, who was the model of
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: thy father's life. Call it not patience, Gant, it is
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: despair in suffering. Does thy brother to be slaughtered? Thou
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: ShoWest the naked pathway to thy life, teaching stern murder
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: how to butcher thee? That which in mean men we
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: entitle patience is pale, cold cowardice in noble breasts. What
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: shall I say to safeguard thine own life? The best
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: way is to venge my Gloucester's death.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: God.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: This is the quarrel for God's substitute, his deputy, anointed
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: in his sight, had caused his death the witch if wrongfully,
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: let Heaven revenge. For I may never lift an angry
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: arm against his minister.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Where then, alas may I complain myself.
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: To God the widow's je being and defense?
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Why then I will farewell, Old Gaunt, Thou goest to
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Coventry there to behold our cousin Hereford and fell Mowbray fight, Oh,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: sit my husband's wrongs on Hereford's spear, that it may
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: enter butcher Mowbray's breast. Or if misfortune missed the first career,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: be Mowbray's sins so heavy in his bosom that they
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: may break his foaming coursers back and throw the rider
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: headlong in the lists. A caitive recreant to my cousin Hereford, Farewell,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Old Gaunt, thy sometimes brother's wife with her companion, grief
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: must end her.
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: Life, sister, farewell, I muster Coventry as much good stay
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: with thee as go with me.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Yet one word more grief boundeth where it falls, not
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: with the end hollowness but wait, I take my leave
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: before I have begun, for sorrow ends, not when it
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: seemeth done. Commend me to thy brother Edmund York. Lo,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: this is all nay, yet depart not so though this
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: be all, do not so quickly go I shall remember more.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Bid him, Ah, what with all good speed that plashy
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: visit me alike? And what shall good old York there
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: see but empty lodgings and unfurnished walls, unpeopled offices, untrodden stones,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: and what he therefore welcome. But my groans therefore command
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: me let him not come there to seek out's sorrow
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: that dwells everywhere, desolate, desolate? Will I hence and die?
• 19:56

• 22:07
  Speaker 2: in the justice of his cause.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: What is thy name? And wherefore comest thou hither before
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: King Richard in his royal lists, against who comest thou
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: and what's thy quarrel? Speak like a true knight, So
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: defend thee heaven.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Harry of Hereford, Lancaster, and darby am I, who already
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: here to stand in arms to prove by God's grace
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: and my body's valor, enlists on Thomas Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: that he is a traitor, foul and dangerous to God
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: of Heaven, King Richard, and to me, and as I

  Speaker 1: truly fight, defend me heaven.

  Speaker 5: daring hardy as to touch the lists, except the Marshal
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: and such officers appointed to direct these fared.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Lord Marshall, let me kiss my Sovereign's hand and bow
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: my knee before his majesty, For Mowbray and myself are
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: like two men that fow a long and weary pilgrimage.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Then let us take a ceremonious leave and loving farewell

  Speaker 1: of our several friends.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: The appallent in all duty greets your Highness, and craze

  Speaker 2: We will dissent and fold him in our arms, Cousin
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: of Hereford. As thy cause is right, so be thy
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: fortune in this royal fight. Farewell my blood, which if
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: today thou shed lament, we may but not revenge deed dead.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, let no noble eye profane a tear for me.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: If I be God with Mowbray's spear, as confident as
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: is the falcon's flight against a bird, do I with
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Mowbray fight my love, Lord, I take my leave of you,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: of you, my noble cousin, Lord or Merle. Not sick,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: although I have to do with death, but lusty, young
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: and cheerly drawing breath lo as at English feasts. So
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I regreat the daintiest last to make the end most sweet.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: O Thou, the earthly author of my blood, whose youthful
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: spirit in me regenerate, doth with a twofold vigor lift
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: me up to reach at victory above my head, add
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: proof unto mine armor, with thy prayers and with thy blessings,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: steel my lance's point, that it may enter Mowbray's waxen coat,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: and furbish knew the name of John a gaunt even
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: in the lusty behavior of his son.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: Good in thy good cause, make thee prosperous be swift
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: like lightning in the execution, and let thy blows doubly
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: redoubled fall like amazing thunder on the cask of thy
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: adverse benicious enemy, rouse up thy youthful blood, be valiant,
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: and leave.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Mine innocency and Saint George to thrive.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: However, God of Fortune, cast my lot their lives or
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: dies true to King Richard's throne. A loyal, just and
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: upright gentleman never does captive with a freer heart, cast
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: off his chains of bondage, and embrace his golden uncontrolled
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: enfranchisement more than my dancing suled, or celebrate this cease
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: of battle from an adversary, this mighty leegeon, my companion peers,
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: take from my mouth the wish of happy years, as
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: gentle and as chockled, as to jest, go I to
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: fight truth, hath a quiet.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Breast, farewell, my lord. Securely I espire virtue with valor
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: couched in die. I order the trial marshal and begin.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: Harry of Hereford, Lancaster and Derby. Receive thy lance, and
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: God defend the right.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Strong as a tower in hope, I cry, Amen, go.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: Bear this lance to Thomas, Duke of Norfolk.
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: Harry of Hereford, Lancaster and Derby stands here for God
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: his Sovereign, and himself, on pain to be found false
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: and recreant, to prove the Duke of Norfolk Thomas Mowbray
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: a traitor to his God, is King and him, and
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: dares him to set forward to the fight.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Here standeth Thomas Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk, on pain to
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: be found false and recreant, both to defend himself and
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: to approve Henry of Hereford, Lancaster and Derby, to God
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: his Sovereign and to him disloyal, courageously and with a
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: free desire, attending but a signal to begin.
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: Sound trumpets and set forward combatants.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: A charge sounded stay.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: The King had thrown his water down, let them lay
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: by their helmets and their spears, and both returned back
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: to their chairs. Again withdraw with us, and let the
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: trumpets sound while we return these dukes what we decree.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: A long flourish draw near.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: And list what with our council we have done, for
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: that our kingdom's earth should not be soiled with that
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: dear blood which it has fostered. And for our eyes
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: too hate the dire aspect of civil wounds plowed up
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: with neighbour's sword. And for we think the eagle winged
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: pride of sky, aspiring and ambitious thoughts, with rival hating envy,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: set on you to wake our peace, which in our
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: country's cradle draws the sweet infant breath of gentle sleep,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: which so roused up with boisterous, untuned drums, with harsh,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: resounding trumpets, dreadful bray, and grating shock of wrathful iron arms,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: might from our quiet confines, fright, fair peace, and make
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: us wait even in our kindred's blood. Therefore we banish
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: you our territories, You cousin Hereford, upon pain of life,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: till twice five summers have enriched our fields, shall not
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: regreet our fair dominions, but tread the stranger path of banishment.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Your will be done, This must my comfort be that
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: sun that warms you here shall shine on me, and
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: those his golden beams to you. Hair lent shall point
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: on me and gild my.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Banishment norfolk, for THEE remains a heavier doom, which I,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: with some unwillingness pronounce. The sly slow hours shall not
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: determinate the dateless limit of the idea exile the hopeless
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: word of never to return. Breathe eye against THEE, upon
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: pain of life.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: A heavy sentence, my most sovereign liege, and all unlooked
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: forth from your highness mouth a dearer merit, not so
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: deep a maime as to be cast forth in the
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: common air. Have I deserved your highness hands the language
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: I have learned these forty years, my native English, No
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: I must forego. And now my tongue's use is to
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: me no more than an unstringed vile, or a harp,
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: like a cunning instrument kissed up or being open put
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: into his hands, that knows no touch to tune the
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: harmony within my mouth. You have engaled my tongue blaze
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: portculist with my teeth and lips, and dull, unfeeling, barren
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: ignorance is made my jailor to attend on me. I
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: am too old to fawn upon a nurse, too far
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: in years to be a pupil. Now what is thy
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: sentence then, but speechless death, which robs my tongue from
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: breathing native breath.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: It boots THEE not to be compassionate. After our sentence
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: planing comes too late.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: Then thus I turn me from my country's light to
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: dwell in solemn shades of endless night.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Return again, and take an oath with THEE. Lay on
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: our royal sword your banished hands. Swear by the duty
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: that you owe to God our part therein we banish
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: with yourselves to keep the oath that we administer. You
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: never shall so help you Truth and God embrace each
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: other's love in banishment, nor never look upon each other's face,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Nor never write regreet, nor reconcile dislowering tempest of your
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: home bred hate, Nor never by advised purpose, meet to plot, contrive,
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: or complot any ill against us, our state, our subjects,
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: or our land.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: I swear and I to keep all this, norfolk so
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: far as to mine enemy. By this time, had the
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: King permitted us, one of our souls had wandered in
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: the air, banished this frail sepacher of our flesh, as
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: now our flesh is banished from this land. Confess thy treasons.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Ere thou fly the round, since thou hast far to go,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: bear not along the clogging burden of a guilty.
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: Soul noblen Brook.
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: If ever I were a traitor, my name be blotted
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: from the book of life, and I from heaven, banished
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: as from hints. But what thou art, God, Thou and
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: I do know, And all too soon I fear the
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: king shall rule. Farewell, my liege, Thou, no way can
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: I stay safe back to England.
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: All the world's my way.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Uncle. Even in the glasses of thine eyes, I see
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: thy grieved heart, thy sad aspect. Hath from the number
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: of his spanished years plucked four away, two bolingbroke, six
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: frozen winters spent return with welcome home from banishment.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: How long a time lies in one little word? Four
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: lagging winters and four wanton springs end in a word
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: such is the breath of kings.
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: I thank my liege that in regard of me, he
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: shortens four years of my son's exile. But little vantage
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: shall I reap thereby? For ere the six years that
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: he hath to spend, can change their moons and bring
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: their times about. My oil dried lamp, and time be wasted.
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: Light shall be extinct with age and endless, knight. My
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: inch of taper will be burnt and done, and blindfold death.
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: Not let me see my son.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Why uncle thou hast many years to live, but not
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: a minute?
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: King, that thou canst give shorten my days. Thou canst
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: with sullen sorrow and pluck knights from me, but not
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: lend a morrow. Thou canst help time to furrow me
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: with age, but stop no wrinkle in his pilgrimage. Thy
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: word is current with him for my death, but dead,
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: thy kingdom cannot by my breath.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Thy son is banished upon good advice. Where to thy
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: tongue a party verdict gave wyat our justice seems thout.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Then to lower things.
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: Sweet to taste prove in digestion's sour. You urged me
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: as a judge, But I had rather you would have
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: bid me argue like a father. Oh, had it been
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: a stranger, not my child, to smooth his fault, I
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: should have been more mild. A partial slander sought I
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: to avoid, And in the sentence. My own life destroyed,
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: alas I looked when some of you should say I
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: was too strict to make mine own away, But you
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: gave leave to my unwilling tongue, against my will to
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: do myself this wrong.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Cousin farewell, and uncle bid him so six years we
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: banish him, and he shall go flourish.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Excellent King Richard, and train cousin farewell.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: What presence must not know? From where you do remain?
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: Let paper show.
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: My lord no leave, take aye, for I will ride
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: as far as land. Will let me buy your side?
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: Oh to what purpose dost thou hold thy words? That
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: thou returnest no greeting to thy friends?
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: I have too few to take my leave of you.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: When the tongue's office should be prodigal to breathe the
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: abundant dollar of the heart.
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: Thy grief is but thy absence for a time.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Joy absent, grief is present for that time?
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: What is six winters? They are quickly gone?
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Two men enjoy, but grief makes one hour ten Call.
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: It travel that thou takest for pleasure.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: My heart will sigh when I miscall it, so which
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: finds it an enforce at pilgrimage, the.
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: Sullen passage of thy weary steps esteamers foil, wherein thou
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: art to sit the precious jewel of thy home. Return.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Nay, rather every tedious stride I make will, But remember
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: me what a deal of world I wander from the
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: jewels that I love? Must I not serve a long
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: a pretticehood to foreign passages, and, in the end, having
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: my freedom, boast of nothing else but that I was
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: a journeyman to grief.
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: All places that the eye of Heaven visit are to
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: a wise man ports and happy havens teach thy necessity
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: to reason. Thus there is no virtue like necessity. Think
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: not the king did banish thee, but thou the king
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: woe doth the heavy sit where it perceives it is
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: but faintly borne? Go Say I send thee forth to
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: purchase honor, and not the king exiled thee. Or suppose
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: devouring pestilence hangs in our ear, and thou art flying
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: to a fresher climb. Look what thy soul holds, dear,
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: imagine it to lie that way? Thou goest not whence
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: thou comest Suppose the singing birds musicians the grass, whereon
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: thou tredst the presence strewed the flowers, fair ladies, and
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: thy steps no more than a delightful measure of a dance.
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: For gnarling sorrow hath less power to bite the man
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: that mocks at eat and sets it light.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, who can hold a fire in his hand by
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: thinking on the frosty Caucasus, or cloy the hungry edge
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: of appetite by bare imagination of a feast, or wallow
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: naked in december snow, by thinking on fantastic summer's heat. Oh, No,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: the apprehension of the good gives, but the greater feeling
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: to the worse fell. Sorrow's tooth doth never rankle more
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: than when he bites, but lanceth not the sore.
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: Come, Come, my son, I'll bring thee on thy way.
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: Had I thy youth and cause I would not.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Stay then England's ground, farewell, sweet soil, Adieu my mother
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: and my nurse that bears me. Yet where'er I wander?
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Boast of this I can, though banished, Yet a true
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: born Englishman exellent seem for the court. Enter the King
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: with baggot and green at one door, and the Duke
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: of our Merle. At another we.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Did observe cousin, O Merle, how far brought you high
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: hereforth on his way.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: I brought high herefort, if you call him so, but
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: to the next highway, And there I left him?
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: And say, what store of parting tears was shed?
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: Faith none for me except the northeast wind, which then
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: blew bitterly against our faces awaited the sleeping room, And
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: so by chance did grace our hollow, parting.
• 39:28
  Speaker 7: With a tear?
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: What said our cousin when you parted with him?
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: Farewell?
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: And from my heart disdained that my tongue should so
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: profane the word that taught me craft a counterfeit oppression
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: of such grief that words seemed buried in my sorrow's grave. Mary,
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: would the word farewell have lengthened hours and added years
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: to his short banishment? He should have had a volume
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: of farewells, But since it would not, he had none
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: of me.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: He is our cousin, cousin, But disdoubt when time shall
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: call him home from banishment, whether our kinsmen come to
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: see his friends ourselves and bushy baggeed here and green
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: observed his courtship to the common people. How he did
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: seem to dive into their hearts with humble and familiar courtesy.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: What reverence he did throw away on slaves, wooing poor
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: craftsmen with the craft of smiles and patient underbearing of
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: his fortune, as t were to banish their effects with him.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Off goes his bonnet to an oyster wench, a brace
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: of draymen. Bid God speed him well, and had the
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: tribute of his subtle knee. With thanks, my countrymen, my
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: loving friends, as were our England in reversion his and
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: he our subject's next degree in.
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: Hope, well he is gone with him Gervy's thocks. Now
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: for the rebels which stand.
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: Out in Ireland, expedient manage must be made manege if
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: further leisure yield them further means for their advantage and
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: your highness loss.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: We will ourselves in person to this war, And for
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: our coffers, with too great accord and liberal larges, are
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: grown somewhat light. We are enforced to farm our royal realm,
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: the revenue whereof shall furnish us for our affairs in hand.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: If that comes short, our substitutes at home shall have
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: blank charters where to when they shall know what men
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: are rich. They shall subscribe them for large sums of gold,
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: and send them after to supply our wants, for we
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: will make for Ireland. Presently, Enter Bushy, Bushy, What news.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: Oh John Vganti is grievous sick? My lord suddenly taken,
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: and hath sent post haste to entreat your majesty to visit.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: Him where lies.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: He at Evie House.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: Now put it God in the physician's mind to help
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: him to his grave. Immediately the lining of his coffers
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: shall make coats to deck our soldiers, for these Irish
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: wars come. Gentlemen, Let's all go visit him. Pray God
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: we may make haste and come too late.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: An excellent end of Act one, Act two of the
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Tragedy of King Richard Scond by William Shakespeare. This is

  Speaker 1: Act to seeing one ely house, Enter John of Gaunt,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: sick with the Duke of York, et cetera.
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: Will the king come that I may breathe my last
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: in wholesome counsel to his unstayed youth.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: That's not yourself, Nor strive not with your breath.
• 43:23
  Speaker 7: We're all in vain, comes counsel.
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: To his ear.
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: Oh, but they say, the tongues of dying men enforce
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: attention like deep harmony. Where words are scarce, they are
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: seldom spent in vain, For they breathe truth that breathe
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: their words in pain. He that know more must say
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: is listened more than they whom youth and ease have
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: taught to close. More are men's ends marked than they
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: lives before the setting sun, And music at the close
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: is the last taste of sweet, is sweetest, last rich
• 44:08
  Speaker 5: in remembrance, more than things long passed, O Richard, My
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: life's counsel would not hear my death shed tale me
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: yet done deaf his ear?
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: No, it is stopped with other fluttering sounds, as praises
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: of whose taste the wise are fond, the sivious meters,
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: to whose venoms sound.
• 44:33
  Speaker 7: The open ear of youth.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: Doth always listen, report of fashions, and proudedly whose manners
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: still are tardy.
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: Ape's nation limbs after.
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: In base imitation, where doth the world thrust forth the
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: vanity so it be new? There's no respect, however, that
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: has not quickly buzzed into his ears, and all too
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: late comes counsel to be heard, if willdoff with wits
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: regard direct not him whose way himself will choose tis
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: breath thou laxt, and that breath wilt thou lose.
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: Ugh methinks I am a prophet, new inspired, and thus
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: expiring to fore tear of him. His rash fierce blaze
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: of riot cannot last, for violent fire soon burn out themselves.
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: Small showers last long, but sudden storms are short. He
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: tires Betimes that spurs too fast, Betimes with eager feeding
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: food doth choke the feeder. Light, vanity, insatiate, cormorant consuming
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: means soon praise upon itself, This royal throne of kings,
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: deceptid isle, this earth, the majesty deceit of Mars, this
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: other Eden demi paradise, the fortress built by nature for
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: herself against infection and the hand of war. This happy
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: breed of men, this little world, this precious stones it
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: in the silver sea, which serves it in the office
• 46:24
  Speaker 5: of a wall, or as a most defensive to a
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: house against the empty of less happier lands. This blessed plot,
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: this earth, this realm, this England, this nurse's teeming womb
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: of royal kings, feared by their breed and famous by
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: their birth, renowned for their deeds, as far from home
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: for Christian service, Her and true chival as is the
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: sepulcher in stubborn jewelry of the world's ransom. Blessed Mary's son,
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: This land of such dear souls, this dear dear land,
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: dear for her reputation through the world, is now least
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: out I die, pronouncing it like two a tenement or
• 47:27
  Speaker 5: pelting farm. Her England, bound in with the triumphant Sea,
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: whose rocky shore beats back the envious siege of watery Neptune,
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: is now bound in with shame, with inky blots and
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: rotten parchment bonds. That England that was wont to conquer others,
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: hath made a shameful conquest of itself. Ah, would this
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: scandal vanished with my life? How happy then were my
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: ensuing death?
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Enter King Richard and Queen or Merle Bushy Green Beggott Ross,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: and will.
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: Be The king has come deal mildly with his youth,
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: the young hot cults being raged and doraged the more.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: How feiz our noble uncle Lancaster, what comfort man? How
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: is it with aged gaunt?
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: Oh? How the name befits my composition? Old gaunt indeed
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: and gaunting, being old within my grief? Hath kept a
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: tedious fast? And who abstains from meat that is not gaunt?
• 48:48
  Speaker 7: For sleep?
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: In England?
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: Long time have I watched watching breeds leanness? Leanness is
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: all gaunt. The pleasure that some father feed upon is
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: my strict fast. I mean my children's looks. And therein
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: fasting hast thou made me gaunt? Gone to mine with
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: a grave gaunt, as a grave whose hollow womb inherits
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: nought but bones?
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: Can sick men play so nicely with their names?
• 49:23
  Speaker 5: No misery makes sport to mock itself. Since thou do
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: seek to kill my name in me, I mock my name,
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: great King, to flatter thee should.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: Dying man flatter with those that live?
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: Ugh? No, no men living flatter those that die?
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: Thou now a dying sayst thou flatterest me?
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: No, thou diest, though I the sicker, be I.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: Am in health, I breathe, and I see d.
• 49:58
  Speaker 8: Ill now he that made me knows I see thee
• 50:03
  Speaker 8: ill ill in myself to see, and in thee seeing
• 50:08
  Speaker 8: ill Thy.
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: Death Berard is no lesser than thy Land. Wherein thou
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: liest in reputation sick, and thou too careless patient as
• 50:22
  Speaker 5: thou art committest thy anointed body to the cure of
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: those physicians that first wounded thee. A thousand flatterers sit
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: within thy crown, whose compass is no bigger than thy head,
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: and yet engag'd in so small a verge, the waste
• 50:45
  Speaker 5: is no whit lesser than thy land. O had thy grandsire,
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: with the prophet's eye, seen how his son's son should
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: destroy his sons from forth thy rich, he would have
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: laid thy shame deposingly before thou wort possessed, Which art
• 51:07
  Speaker 5: possess it now to dispose thyself? Why cousin word, Thou
• 51:12
  Speaker 5: regent of the world, it were a shame to let
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: this land by lease, but for thy world enjoying. But
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: this land is it not more than shame to shame it?
• 51:25
  Speaker 5: So Landlord of England, art thou now not king? Thy
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: state of law is bond slave to the law, and.
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: Thou a lunatic lean with it fool presuming on an
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: egg u's privilege, bearest, with thy frozen admonition, make pale
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: our cheek, chasing the royal blood with fury from his
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: native residence. Now by my seat's right, Royal majesty, were
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: thou not brother to Great Edwards Sun, this tongue that
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: runs so round in thy head should run thy head
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: from thy unreverend shoulders.
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: Oh, spare me not my brother Edward's son, for that
• 52:10
  Speaker 5: I was his father Edward's son. That blood already like
• 52:14
  Speaker 5: the Pelican hast thou tapped out and drunkenly caroused my
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: brother Gloucester, plain well meaning soul, whom fair befall in
• 52:25
  Speaker 5: heaven amongst happy souls, may be a president and witness
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: good that thou respectest, not spinning Edward's blood. Join with
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: the present sickness that I have, and thy unkindness be
• 52:39
  Speaker 5: like crooked age to crop at once, say too long,
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: withered flower, live in thy shame, but die not shame
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: with thee these words hereafter thy tormentors be convey me
• 52:54
  Speaker 5: to my bed, then to my grave. Love they to live,
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: love and honor.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: Have exit borne off by his attendants.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: And let them die that age and silence have for
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: both hast thou, and both become the grave.
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: I do beseech your majesty impute his words to wayward
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: sickliness and age in him. He loves you on my
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: life and holds you dear as Harry, Duke of Hereford.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: Were he here right, you say true as here, for
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: it's love so his as theirs, so mine, and all
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: be as it is.
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: Enter Northumberland, My liege Old Gaunt commends him to your Majesty.
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: What says he nay?
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: Nothing? All is said. His tongue is now a stringless
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: instrument words life and all Old Lancaster had spent be York.
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: The next that must be bankrupt soul. Though death be pore,
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: it ends a mortal woe.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: The ripest fruit first falls, and so does he. His
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: time is spent. Our pilgrimage must be so much for that. Now,
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: for our Irish wars, we must supplant those rough, rug
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: headed currents which live like venom, where no venom else,
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: but only they have privilege to live. And for these
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: great affairs, to ask some charge towards our assistance, we
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: do cease to us the plate coin, revenues and moveables,
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: whereof our uncle Gaunt did stand possessed.
• 54:40
  Speaker 7: How long shall I be patient? Ah?
• 54:43
  Speaker 4: How long shall tender duty make me suffer?
• 54:45
  Speaker 7: Wrong?
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: Not Gloucester's death, nor Hereford's banishment, nor Gone's ribukes, nor
• 54:52
  Speaker 4: England's private wrongs, nor the prevention of poor bolingbroke about
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: his marriage, nor my own disgrace have ever made me
• 54:59
  Speaker 4: so my patient cheek would bend one brinkle on my
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: sovereign's face. I am the last of noble edward sons,
• 55:08
  Speaker 4: of whom thy father, Prince of Wales, was first, and
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: war was never lying, rage and more fierce, and peace
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: was an ever gentle lamb more mild than was that
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: young and princely gentleman. His face thou hast or even
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: so looked. He accomplished with the number of thy hours.
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: But when he frowned, it was against the French, and
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: not against his friends. His noble hand did win what
• 55:34
  Speaker 4: he did spend, and spent not that which his triumphant
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: father's hand had won. His hands were guilty of no
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: kindred blood, but bloody with the enemies of his kin.
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: Oh Richet York is too far gone with grief or else.
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: He never would compare between.
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: Why Uncle what's the matter, oh.
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: My liege, Pardon me if you please, If not, I please,
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: it not to be pardoned. Am content withal seek you
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: to seize and gripe into your hands the royalties and
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: rights of banished Hereford. Is not gaunt, debt, and doth
• 56:16
  Speaker 4: not Hereford live, was not gaunt just, and is not
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: very true. Did not the one deserve to have an
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: heir is not his heir a well deserving son. Take
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: Hereford's rights away, and take from time his charters and
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: his customary rights. Let not tomorrow than ensue to day.
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: Be not thyself, for how art thou a king? But
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: by fair sequence and succession thou for God, God forbid.
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: I say true. If you do wrongfully seize Hereford's rights,
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: call in the letter's patterns that he hath by his
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: attorney's general to sue his livery and deny his ofvored homage.
• 56:57
  Speaker 4: You pluck a thousand dangers on your head, and you
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: lose a thousand well disposed hearts, and prick my tender
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: patience to those thoughts which honor and allegiance cannot think.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: Think what you will we seize into our hands his plate,
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: his goods, his money, and his lands.
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: I'll not be by the while, my liege farewell? What
• 57:22
  Speaker 4: will ensue thereof there as none can tell that by
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: bad causes may be understood, that their events can never
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: fall out good exit.
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: Go Bushy to the Earl of Wiltshire strait bid him
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: repair to us to Ely House, to see this business.
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: To morrow next we will violand and this time I
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: trow and we create in absence of ourself our uncle York,
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: Lord Governor of England, for he is just and always
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: loved us. Well, come on, our Queen, to morrow must
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: we part be merry, for our time of stay is short.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: Flourish, excellent King Queen o merle Bushy, green and beggett.
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: Well, Lord the Duke of Lancaster.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: Is dead and living too, for now his son is.
• 58:17
  Speaker 4: Duke, barely entitled, not in the revenue.
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: Richly in both if justice had her right.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: My heart is great, but it must break with silence,
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: it be disburdened with a liberal tongue.
• 58:31
  Speaker 5: Nay, speak thy mind, and let him ne'er speak more
• 58:34
  Speaker 5: that speaks thy words again to do thee harm.
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: Tends that thou would speak to the Duke of Herefurt
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: if it be so out with it boldly, man, quick
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: is mine ear to hear of good towards him.
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: No good at all that I can do for him,
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: unless you call it good to pity him bereft and
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: gelded off his patrimony.
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: Now afore God tis shame. Such wrongs are born in him,
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: the royal Prince and many MoU noble blood in this
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: declining land. The king is not himself but basely led
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: by flatterers. And what they will inform merely in hate
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: against any of us, All that will the King severely
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: prosecute against us our lives, our children, and our ears.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: The commons hath he pilled with grievous taxes, and quite
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: lost their hearts. The nobles hath he fined for ancient quarrels,
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: and quite lost their hearts.
• 59:28
  Speaker 4: And theily new exactions are devised as blanks, benevolences, and
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: what not, what but what a God's name doth.
• 59:36
  Speaker 7: Become of this?
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: Wars have not wasted it for ward he hath not,
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: but basically yielded upon compromise that which is noble ancestors
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: achieved with blows. More hath he spent in peace than
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: they in wars.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: The Earl of Wiltshire, hath the realm in form.
• 59:54
  Speaker 4: The King's grown bankrupt like a broken man.
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: Reproach and dissolution hang o over him.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: He has not money for these irish wars, his burther's taxations, notwithstanding,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: but by the rubbing of the banished.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: Duke, his noble kingsman most degenerate king. But lords, we
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: hear this fearful tempest sing, yet seek no shelter to
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: avoid the storm. We see the wind sit sore upon
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: our sails, and yet we strike not but securely perish.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: We see the very wreck that we must suffer, and
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: unavoided is the danger now for suffering? So the causes
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: of our wreck.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: Not so even through the hollow eyes of death, I
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: spy life peering, But idare not say how near the
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: tidings of our comforties.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: Nay, let us share thy thoughts as thou dost ours.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: We confident to speak Northumberland. We three are but thyself,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: and speaking so thy words are but as thoughts. Therefore
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: be bold.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: Then thus I have from Porte LeBlanc, a bay in Brittany,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: received intelligence that Harry, Duke of Hereford, Raynold, Lord Cobham,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: that late broke from the Duke of Exeter, his brother,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: Archbishop Late of Canterbury, Sir Thomas Irpingham, Sir John Ramston,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: Sir John Norberry, Sir Robert Waterton, and Frances Quoint, All
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: these well furnished by the Duke of Breton, with eight
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: tall ships. Three thousand men of war are making hither
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: with all due expedients, and shortly mean to touch our
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: northern shore. Perhaps they had ere this, but that they
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: stay the first departing of the king for Ireland. If
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: then we shall shake off our slavish yoke, imp out
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: our drooping country's broken wing, redeem from broking pawn the
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 3: blemish crown, wipe off the dust that hides our scepter's guilt,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: and make High Majesty look like itself. Away with me
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: in post of Ravensburg. But if you faint as fearing
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: to do so, stay and be secret, and myself will.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: Go to horse to horse, urged doubts to them that fear.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 6: Hold out my horse, and I will first be there.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: Excellent scene too the palace. Enter Queen Bushy, and beget madam.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: Your majesty is too much sad. You promised when you
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: parted with the King to lay aside life, harming, heaviness
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: and entertained cheerful disposition.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: To please the King I did to please myself. I
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: cannot do it yet I know no cause why I
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: should welcome such a guest disgrief, save bidding farewell to
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: so sweet a gast as my sweet ri Sharh. Yet again,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: methinks some unborne sorrow ripe in fortune's womb, is coming
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: towards me and my inward soul with nothing trembles at something,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: It grieves more than with parting from my lord the King.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: Each substance of a grief hath twenty shadows, which shows
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: like grief itself, but is not so. For sorrow's eye
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: glazed with blinding tears, divides one thing entire to many objects,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: like perspectives, which rightly gazed upon show nothing but confusion
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: I or wrye distinguished form. So, your sweet Majesty, looking
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: awry upon your Lord's departure, fine shapes of grief more
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: than himself to wail, which looked on as it is,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: is not but shadows of what is not. Then, thrice,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: gracious Queen, more than your lord's departure weep not mare's
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: not seen. Or if it be tis with false sorrow's eye,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: which for things true weeps things imaginary.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: It may be so, but yet my inward soul persuades
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: me it is other wise. However it be, I cannot
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: but be said. So heavy said as thoughe thinking on
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: no thought, I think makes me with heavy nothing faint
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: and shrink.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: Tis nothing but conceit, My gracious lady.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: Tis nothing less Conceit is still derived from some forefather. Grief.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: Mine is not so for nothing hath begot my something
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: grief or something? Hath the nothing that I grieve tis
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: in reversion that I do possess. But what it is
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: that is not yet known, what I cannot name, tis nameless.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 5: Woe.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 4: I watch, and your green God save your majesty, and
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 4: we'll met.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 7: Gentlemen, I hope the king is not yet shipt Violand.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: Why opestous so tis better hope he is for his
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: design's grave. Haste is haste good hope? Then wherefore dost
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: thou hope he is not sheeped.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 4: That he a hope might have retired his power and
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 4: driven into despair enemies hope who strongly hath set footing
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 4: in the Land, the banished Bolingbrook repeals himself, and with
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 4: uplifted arms, is safe arrived at Ravenspur.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: Now God in Heaven forbid.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 4: Madam's is too true, that is worse. The Lord Northumberland,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 4: his son young Henry Percy, the lords of Ross, Beaumont
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 4: and Willoughby, with all their powerful friends, are fled to him.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: Why have you not proclaimed Northumbling and all the rest
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: revolted faction traitors we have?
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 6: Whereupon the Earl of Worcester hath broke his staff, resign
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 6: his stewardship, and all the household servants fled with him
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 6: to Bolingbrook.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: So Green thou art and midwife to my woe and
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: bullying broke my sorrow's dismal air. Now has my soul
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: brought forth a prodigy, and I a guess, being new
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: delivered mother, have woe too, woe, sorrow to sorrow.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: Joined despair, Not Madam.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: O shellinder me, I will despair and be at enmity
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: with cousoning Hope is a flatter, a parasite, a keeper
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: back of death, who gently would dissolve the bands of
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: life which fallso Plingers in extremity enter York, York with
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: signs of war about this aged neck? How full of
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: careful business are his looks? Uncle, for God's sake, speak
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: comfortable words?
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 7: Should I do so?
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: I should belie my thoughts comforts in heaven, and we
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 4: are on the earth when nothing lives but crosses, cares
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 4: and grief. Your husband, he's gone, to say, far off
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 4: whilst others come to make him lose at home. Here
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 4: am I left to underprop his land, who weak with age,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 4: cannot support myself. Now comes the sick hour that is
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 4: Serf had made. Now shall I try his friends that
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: flattered him?
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: Enter a servant. Well, Lord, your son was gone before
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: I came.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 7: He was, ay, So go all which way it will.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: The nobles they are fled, the commons they are called,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 4: And will I fear revolt on Hereford's side, Sir Ah,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 4: get thee to plashy to my sister Gloucester Bittter, send
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 4: me presently a thousand pound O take my ring.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: My Lord, I had forgot to tell your lordship to
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: day as I came by, I called there. But I
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: shall grieve you to report the rest what is to
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: snave on our Before I came, the duchess died.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 7: God for his mercy.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 4: What a tide of woes comes frushing on this woeful land?
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 7: At once?
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 4: I know not what to do. I went to God
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 4: so my untruth had not provoked him to it. The
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 4: king had cut off my head with my brothers. But ha,
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 4: there no post despatch fireland. How shall we do for
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 4: money for these wars? Come, sister, cousin, I would say, pray,
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 4: pardon me, Go fellow, get thee home, provide some cards,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 4: and bring away the armor that is there. Exit servant, gentlemen,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 4: will you go muster men? If I know how or
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 4: which way to order these affairs? Thus thrust his soordly
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 4: into my hands. Never believe me. Both are my kinsmen.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 4: The one is my sovereign, whom both my oath and
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 4: duty bids defend. The other again is my kinsman, whom
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 4: the King hath wronged, whom conscience and my kindred bids
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 4: to right.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 7: Well some what we.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 4: Must do, Come, cousin, I'll dispose of you. Gentlemen, Go
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 4: master up your men and me presently at Berkeley. I
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 4: should plash it to the time will not permit. All
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 4: is uneven, and everything is left at six and.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: Seven, excellent York and Queen, the wind sets fair for
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: news to go to Ireland, but none returns. For us
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: to let be power proportionable to the enemy is all unpossible.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 4: Besides, our nearness to the King in love is near
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 4: the hate of their love, not the King.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: And that's the wavering commons, for their love lies in
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: their purses, and who so empties them by so much,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: fills their heart with deadly hate.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: Wherein the King stands generally condemned.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: If judgment lie in them, then so do we. Because
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: we ever have been near the King.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 4: Well, I will for refuse straight to mister Castle of
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 4: Wiltshire is already there.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: Thither will I with you for little office the hateful
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: commons will perform for us, except like curs to tear
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: us all to pieces. Will you go along with us?
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 7: No?
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: I will to Island to his majesty.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 5: Farewell.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: If heart presages be not vain, we three here part,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: that Ney shall meet again.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: That's as York thrives to beat back bolingbroke, and.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 4: As poor Duke the task he undertakes, his numbering sands
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 4: and drinking oceans dry. Where one on his side fights,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 4: thousands will fly farewell at once, for once for all endeavor.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: Well we may meet again, I fear me never excellent
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: same three wilds in Gloucestershire, enter Bolingbroke and Northumberland with forces.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: How far is it, my lord to Berkeley.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 5: Now believe me, Noble Lord, I am a stranger here
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 5: in Gloucestershire. These high wild hills and rough uneven ways
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 5: draws out our miles and makes them wearisome. And yet
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 5: your fear discourse hath been as sugar, making the hard
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 5: ways sweet and delectable. But I bethink me what a
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 5: weary way from Ravenspur to Cotswold will be found in
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 5: Ross and Willoughby wanting your company, which I protest hath
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 5: very much beguiled the tediousness and process of my travel,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 5: But theirs is sweetened with the hope to have the
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 5: present benefit which I possess, and hope to joy is
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 5: little less in joy than hope enjoy'd.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 7: By this, the.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 5: Weary lords shall make their way seem short, as mine
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 5: hath done by sight of what I have your noble
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 5: company of.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: Much less value was my company than your good words.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: But who comes here? Enter Henry Percy.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: It is my son, young Harry Percy sent from my
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: brother Worcester. Whencesoever, Harry, how fares your uncle?
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 4: I thought my lord to have learned his health of you.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 3: Why is he not with the Queen?
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 4: No, my good lord, he hath forsook the court, broken
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 4: his staff of office, and dispersed at the household of
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 4: the king.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 5: What was his reason? He was not so resolved when
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 5: last we speak together.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 4: Because your lordship was proclaimed traitor. That he, my lord,
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 4: has gone to Ravenspur to offer service to the Duke
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 4: of Hereford, and sent me over by Berkeley to discover
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 4: what power of the Duke of York had levied there,
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 4: then with directions to repair to Ravenspur.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 5: Have you forgot the Duke of Hereford?
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 4: Boy, No, my good lord, But that is not forgot,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 4: which ney I did remember to my knowledge.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 7: I never in my life to look on.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 5: Him, then learn to know him.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 4: Now this is the Duke, my gracious lord. I tender
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 4: you my service such as it is being tender, raw
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 4: and young, which elder days shall ripen and confirm to
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 4: more approved service and dessert.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: I thank thee gentle Percy, and be sure I count
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: myself in nothing else so happy as in a soul
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: remembering my good friends. And as my fortune ripens with
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: thy love, it shall be still thy true love's recompense
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: my heart. This covenant makes my hand thus seals it.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: How far is it to Berkeley? And what stir keeps
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: good old Yorke there with his men of war.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 4: There stands the castle by Yon, tuft of trees, man
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 4: with three hundred men, as I have heard, and in
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 4: it are the lords of York, Berkeley, and Seymour, none
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 4: else of name and noble estimate.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: Enter Ross and Willowby.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 3: Here comes the lords of Ross and Willoughby, bloody, with spurring,
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 3: fiery red, with haste.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: Welcome my lords. I WoT your love pursues a banished traitor.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: All my treasury is yet but unfelt thanks which more
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: enriched shall be your love and labor's recompense.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: Your presence makes us rich, most noble Lord, and.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 4: Far Surmonts are labored to attain.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: It evermore thanks the exchequer of the poor, which till
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: my infant fortune comes to years, stands from my bounty.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: But who comes here enter Berkeley?
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 5: It is my lord of Berkeley, as I guess, my.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: Lord, here, for my message is to you my Lord.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: My answer is to Lancaster, and I am come to
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: seek that name in England, and I must find that
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: title in your tongue before I make reply to aught
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: you say.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: Mistake me not, my Lord. Tis not my meaning to
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: raise one title of your honor out to you, my Lord.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: I come what Lord you will, from the most gracious
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: regent of this land, the Duke of York, to know
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: what pricks you on to take advantage of the absent
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: time and fright our native peace with self borne arms.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: Enter Yorke attended. I shall not need transport my words
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: by you. Here comes his grace in person kneels, my noble.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 4: Uncle, show me thy humble heart, and not thy knee
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 4: whose duty is deceivable and false, My gracious uncle, tat
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 4: tat grace mean no grace, nor uncle me, no uncle
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 4: ay am, no traitor's uncle. That word grace in an
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 4: ungracious mouth is but profane. Why have those bannsish and
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 4: forbidden legs dareed once to touch a dust of England's ground?
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 4: Then more, why why have they dared to march so
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 4: many miles upon a peaceful bosom, frightening her pale faced
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 4: villages with war and ostentation of despised arms. Comest thou
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 4: because they anointed king? Is hence my foolish boy. The
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 4: king is left behind, and in my loyal bosom lies
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 4: is power. Were I but now the lord of such
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 4: hot youth, as when brave Gaunt, thy father and myself
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 4: rescue the black Prince, that young mars of men from
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 4: forth the ranks of many thousand French. Oh then how
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 4: quickly shall this arm of mine, now prisoner to thy palsy,
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 4: chastise thee and minister correction to thy fault?
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: My gracious uncle, let me know my fault on what
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: condition stands it? And wherein?
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 4: Even in condition of the worst degree and gross rebellion
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 4: and detested treason. Thou art a banished man, And here
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 4: art come before the expiration of thy time in braving
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 4: arms against thy sovereign.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: As I was banished, I was banished Hereford. But as
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: I come, I come for Lancaster, and noble Uncle, I
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: beseech your grace. Look on my wrongs with an indifferent eye.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: You are my father, For methinks in you I see
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: old Gaunt alive. Oh then, my father, will you permit
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: that I shall stand condemned a wandering vagabond, My rights
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: and royalties plucked from my arms perforce and given away
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: to upstart on thrifts. Wherefore was I born? If that
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: my cousin king be King of England, it must be granted.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: I am Duke of Lancaster. You have a son, or Merle,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: my noble cousin. Had you first died and he been
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: thus trod down, he should have found his uncle Gonde
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: a father, to rouse his wrongs and chase them to
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: the bay. I am denied to sue my livery here,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: and yet my letter's patents give me leave. My father's
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: goods are all distrained and sold, and these and all
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: are all a mis employed. What would you have me do?
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: I am a subject, and I challenge law. Attorneys are
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: denied me, and therefore personally I lay my claim to
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: my inheritance of free descent.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 3: The noble Duke have been too much abused.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: It stands your grace upon to do him right.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 4: Basemen, by his endowments are made great. My lord Sir England,
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 4: let me tell you this. I have had feeling of
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 4: my cousin's wrongs and labored all I could to do
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 4: him right but in this kind to come and braving arms,
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 4: be his own carver, and cut out his way to
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 4: find out right with wrong. It may not be and
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 4: you that do bet him in this kind cherish rebellion,
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 4: and our rebels are.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 5: The noble Duke hath sworn. His coming is but for
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 5: his own and for the right of that we all
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 5: have strongly sworn to give him made and let him
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 5: near see joy that breaks that oath.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 4: Well, well, I see the issue of these arms. I
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 4: cannot mend it. I must needs confess, because my power
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 4: is weak and all ill left. But if I could,
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 4: by him that gave me life, I would attach you
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 4: all and make you stoop unto the sovereign mercy of
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 4: the king. But since I cannot be known to you,
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 4: I do remain as new to so fare you well,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 4: unless you please turn her in the castle and there
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 4: oppose you for.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: This night an offer Uncle, that we will accept, But
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: we must win your grace to go with us to
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: Bristol Castle, which they say is held by bushy Baggert
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: and their accomplices, the caterpillars of the Commonwealth, which I
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: have sworn to weed and pluck away.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 7: It may be I.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 4: Will go with you, But yet I'll pass, for I
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 4: am loath to break our country's laws, nor friends nor
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 4: foes to me. Welcome you are things past redress are
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 4: now with me, past.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: Care, excellent seeing for a camp in Wales. Enter Saddlesbury
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: and a Welsh.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 5: Captain, Majord of Salisbury. We have stayed ten days and
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 5: hardly kept our countryment together, and yet we clear not
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 5: tidings from the king. Therefore we will disperse ourselves.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: Farewell, stay yet another day, that trusty Welshman, the king
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: reposeth all his confidence in thee this.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 5: Thought the king is dead. We will not stay the
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 5: bait treason. Our country are all withered and meteors fright.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 5: The fixed stars of heaven, the pale faced moon looks
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 5: bloody on the earth, and lean looked prophets with a
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 5: fearful change. Rich Men look sad, and ruffians dance and leap,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 5: the one in fear to lose what they enjoy, the
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 5: other to enjoy by rage and war. These signs forrun
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 5: the death or fall of kings. Farewell, our countrymen are
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 5: gone and fled as well ashore. The Richard Deir king
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 5: is dead.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: Exit ah Richard with the eyes of heavy mind. I
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: see thy glory like a shooting star fall to the
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: base earth from the firmament. Thy son sets weeping in
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: the lowly west, witnessing storms to come, woe and unrest.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: Thy friends are fled to wait upon thy foes, and
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: cross to thy good All fortune goes exit. End of

  Speaker 1: Ross Piercy Willoughby, with bushy and green prisoners. Bring forth
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: these men, bushy and green. I will not vactual souls,
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: since presently your souls must part you all bodies with
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: too much urging your pernicious lives for to reno che
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: yet to wash your blood from off my hands. Here
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: in the view of men, I will unfold some causes
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: of your deaths. You have misled a prince, a royal king,
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: a happy gentleman in blood and liniments, by you unhappy
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: and disfigured clean. You have, in manner, with your sinful hours,
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: made a divorce betwixt his queen and him, broke the
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: possession of a royal bed, and stained the beauty of
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: a fair queen's cheeks with tears drawn from her eyes
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: by your foul wrongs. Myself a prince by fortune of
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: my birth, near to the King in blood and near
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: in love, till you did make him misinterpret me. Have
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: stooped my neck under your injuries, and sighed my English
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: breath and foreign clouds, eating the bitter bread of banishment.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: Whilst you have fed upon my signeries, disparked my parks,
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: and felt my forest words from mine own windows, torn
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: my household coat, raised out my impressed leaving me no
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: sign save men's opinions and my living blood to show
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: the world I am a gentleman. This and much more,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: much more than twice. All this condemns you to the death.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: See them delivered over to execution, and the hand of death.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: More welcome is the stroke of death to me than
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: Bullin broke to England Lord's farewell.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 4: My comfort is a heaven will take our souls and
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 4: plague injustice with the pains of hell.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: My Lord NORTHUMBERLM see them dispatched. Excellent Northumberland and others
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: with the prisoners. Uncle, you say, the queen is at
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: your house for God's sake, Fairly let her be entreated.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: Tell her I send to her my kind commands. Take
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: special care my greetings be delivered.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 4: A gentleman of mine, I have dispatched with letters of
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 4: your love to her at large.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: Thanks gentle uncle. Come lords away to fight with Glendower
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: and his accomplices away to work and after holiday. Excellent
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: Scene two, the coast of Wales, a castle in view,
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: drums flourish and colors enter King Richard, the Bishop of
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: Carlisle on merle and soldiers.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: Bar Cloughley Castle called a diss at hand.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, my lord, how Brooks you grace the air after
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 4: your late tossing on the breaking seas.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: Needs must I like it well? I weep for joy
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: to stand upon my kingdom once again, dear Earth, I
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: do salute thee with my hands, though rebels wound thee
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: with their horses hoofs as a long parted mother with
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: her child plays fondly with her tears and smiles in meeting,
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: so weeping smiling greet I d thy earth, and do
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: thee favors with my royal hands. Feed not thy sovereign's foe,
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: my gentle earth, nor with thy sweets comfort his ravenous sense.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: But let thy spiders that suck up thy venom, and
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: heavy gated toads lie in their way, doing annoyance to
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: the treacherous feet, which with usurping steps do trample. Thee
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: yields stinging nettles to mine enemies, And when they from
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: thy bosom pluck a flower, guard it. I pray thee
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: with a lurking adder, whose double tongue may, with a
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: mortal touch, throw death upon thy sovereign's enemies. Mock not
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: my senseless conjuration lords. This earth shall have a feeling,
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: and these stones prove armed soldiers ere her native king
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: shall falter under foul rebellion's arms.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 3: Fear not, my lord, that power that Medeia King have
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 3: poet to keep your king in spite of all the
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 3: means that Heaven yields, must be embraced and not neglected.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 3: Else if Heaven would, and we will not Heaven's offer,
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 3: we refuse the prophet means of succorund redress.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 4: He means, my Lord, that we are too remiss, whilst Bolingbrook,
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 4: through our security, grows strong and great in substance and
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 4: in power.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: Discomfortable, cousin, knowst thou not that when the searching eye
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: of Heaven is hid behind the globe that lights the
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: lower world, then thieves and robbers range abroad, unseen, in
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: murders and in outrage boldly here. But when from under
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: this terrestrial ball he fires the proud tops of the
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 2: eastern pines and darts his lights through every guilty hole,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: then murders, treasons and detested, since the cloak of night
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: being plucked from off their backs, stand bare and naked,
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: trembling at themselves. So when this thief, this straitor bollingbroke,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: who all this while hath reveled in the night while
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: we were wandering with the Antipodes, shall see us rising
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: in our throne the east. His treason swill sit blushing
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: in his face, not able to endure the sight of day,
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 2: but self affrighted, tremble at his sin. Not all the
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: water in the rough rout sea can wash the balm
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: off from an anointed king. The breath of worldly men
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: cannot depose the deputy elected by the Lord. For every
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: man that Bolingbroke hath pressed to lift shrewd steel against
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: our golden crown God for his wichet hath in heavenly
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: pay a glorious angel. Then if angels fight, weak men
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: must fall, for Heaven still guards the right enter Salisbury. Welcome,
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: my lord. How far off lies your power.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: Nor near nor farther off, my gracious Lord, than this
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: weak arm. Discomfort guides my tongue and bids me speak
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: of nothing but despair. One day too late, I fear me,
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: Noble Lord, hath clouded all thy happy days on earth. Oh,
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: call back yesterday, bid time return, and thou shalt have
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: twelve thousand fighting men to day to day. One happy
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: day too late or throws thy joys, friends, fortune, and
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: thy state. For all the Welshmen hearing thou wert dead,
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: are gone to Bolingbroke, dispersed and fled.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 4: Comfort, my liege, Why looks your so pale?
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: But now the blood of twenty thousand men did triumph
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: in my face? And they are fled until so much
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: blood thither come again? Have I not reason to look pale?
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: And dead? Old souls that will be safely from my side,
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: for time has set a blot upon my pride.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 4: Come first, my liege, Remember who you are?
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: I had forgot myself? Am I not king? Awaked? How
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: coward majesty? Thou sleepest is not the king's name? Twenty
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 2: thousand names, arm arm my name. A puny subject strikes
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 2: at thy great glory. Look not to the ground, ye
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: favorites of a king? Are we not high? High? Be
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: our thoughts? I know my uncle Yorke hath power enough
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: to serve our turn? But who comes here?
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 5: Enter scroop war, health, in happiness, betide my liege? Than
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 5: can my care tuned tongue deliver him?
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: Mine ear is open and my heart prepared. The worst
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: is worldly lost? Thou can'st unfold? Say is my kingdom lost?
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 2: Why twas my care? And what loss is it?
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 8: To be?
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: Rid of care? Strives bolingbroke to be as great as we?
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 2: Greater he shall not be. If he serve God, we'll
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: serve him too, and be his fellows. So revolt our
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 2: subjects that we cannot mend. They break their faith to
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 2: God as well as us. Cry woe, destruction, a ruin,
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: and decay. The worst is death, and death will have
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: his stay.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 5: Glad My the Jr.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 3: Highness is so armed to bear the tidings of calamity,
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 3: like an unseasonable stormy day, which makes the silver rivers drown.
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 5: They shore as if the world were all dissolved to tears.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 5: So high above his limit swells the rage of boring brook,
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 5: covering your fearful land with hard, bright steel, and hearts
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 5: harder than steel. White beards have armed their thin and
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 5: hairless scalps against thy majesty. Boys with women's voices strive
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 5: to speak big and clap their female joints in stiff,
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 5: and wield the arms against thy crown, thy very Beadsmen
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 5: learned to bend their bows of double fatal ye against
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 5: thy state. Yea this staff. Women manage rusty bills against
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 5: thy seat, both young and old repair, and all goes
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 5: worse than I have power to deal.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: Too well, too well, thou tell'st the tale so ill.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 2: Where is the earl of Wiltshire? Where is baggot? What
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: is become of bushy? Where is green? That they have
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: let the dangerous enemy measure our confines with such peaceful steps.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 2: If we prevail, their heads shall pay for it. I
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 2: warrant they have made peace with bolingbroke.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 5: Peace have they made with him?
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: Indeed, my lord, oh villains, vipers damned without redemption, dogs
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 2: easily one too fawn on any man, Snakes in my heart,
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 2: blood warmed that sting my heart. Three judases, each one
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 2: thrice worse than Judas. Who would they make peace? Terrible hell,
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: make war upon their spotted souls for this.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 3: Offense, sweet love I see changing his property turns to
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 3: the sourest and most deadly. Hate again, uncurse their souls.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 3: Their peace is made with heads and not with hands.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 3: Those whom you curse have felt the worst of deaths,
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 3: destroying wound, and lie full low, graved in the hollow ground.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 4: Is bushy green, and the Earl of Wiltshire dead.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 3: Aye, all of them at Bristol lost their heads.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 4: Where is the Duke my father, with his power.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 2: No matter where of comfort, no man speak. Let's talk
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 2: of graves of worms and epitas, make dust our paper,
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 2: and with rainy eyes write sorrow on the bosom of
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 2: the earth. Let's choose executors and talk of wills. And
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 2: yet not so, for what can we bequeathed save our
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: deposed bodies to the ground, our lands our lives and
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 2: all our bowling brooks, And nothing can we call our
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: own but death, and that small model of the barren
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 2: earth which serves us paste and cover to our bones.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 2: For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground and
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 2: tell sad stories of the death of kings. How some
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: have been deposed, some slain in war, some haunted by
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: the ghosts they have deposed, some poisoned by their wives,
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: some sleeping, killed, all murdered. For within the hollow crown
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: that rounds the mortal temples of a king keeps death
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 2: his court, And there the antique sits, scoffing his state
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: and grinning at his pomp, allowing him a breath, a
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 2: little scene to monarchize, be feared, and kill with looks,
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 2: infusing him with self and vain conceit, as if this
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: flesh which walls about our life were brass, impregnable and humored.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 2: Thus comes at the last, and with a little pin
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: bores through his castle wall, and farewell, King, Cover your
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: heads and mock not flesh and blood with song, reverence,
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: throw away respect, tradition, form, and ceremonious duty. For you
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 2: have but mistook me all this, while I live with
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: bread like you feel, want, taste, grief, need friends, subject it. Thus,
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 2: how can you say to me, ah am a king.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 3: My lord, wise men, they sit and wail there wos
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 3: but presently prevent the ways to wail, to fear the fool.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 3: Since feel oppressive strength gives in your weakness strength and
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 3: tear fool. And so your follies fight against yourself fear
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 3: and be slain. No worse can come to fight and
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 3: fight and die. Is death, destroying death. We're fearing dying, peace, death,
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 3: servile breath.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 4: My father hath a power. Inquire of him, and learn
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 4: to make a body of a.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 2: Limb thoutshydest me well, proud, balling broke, I come to
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 2: change blows with d for our day of doom. This
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: ague fit of fear is overblown, an easy task. It
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 2: is to win our own, say scroup rehealize our uncle
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 2: with his power. Speak sweetly, man, although that looks be
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 2: sour men.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 5: Judge by the complexion of the sky, the state and
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 5: inclination of the day. So may you, by my dull
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 5: and heavy eye. My tongue had but a heavier tail
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 5: to say, I play the torturer by small and small
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 5: to lengthen out the worst that must be spoken. Your
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 5: uncle York is joined with Bolingbrook, and all your northern
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 5: castles yielded up, and all your southern gentlemen in arms
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 5: upon his party.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 2: Thou hast said enough to or no be shrewd d cousin,
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 2: which did lead me forth of that sweet way? I
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 2: was into despair? What say you now? What comfort have we? Now?
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 2: By heaven? I'll hate him everlastingly that bids me be
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: of comfort any more. Go to flint Castle. There I'll
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: pine away a king. Wou's slave, shall kingly woe obey
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 2: that power I have discharge and let them go to
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: ear the land that hath some hope to grow, for
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 2: I have none. Let no man speak again to alter this,
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 2: For counsel is but vain.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 7: My liege.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 4: One word he.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 2: Does me double wrong, that wounds me with the flatteries
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: of his tongue. Discharge my followers. Let them hence away
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 2: from Richard's night to Bolingbroke's fair day.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: Excellent, same three whales before Flint Castle enter with drum
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: and colors, Bolingbroke, York, Northumberland, attendants and forces. So that
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: by this intelligence we learn the Welshmen are dispersed, and
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: Salisbury is gone to meet the king, who lately landed
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: with some few private friends upon this coast.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 3: The news is very fair and good. My Lord Richard
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 3: not far from hence hath hid his head.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 4: It would beseem the Lord Northumberland to say, King Richard
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 4: like the heavy day, when such a sacred king should
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 4: hide his head.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 3: Your grace mistakes only to be brief left I his
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 3: title out the time.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 4: Hath been which you have been so brief with him,
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 4: He would have been so brief with you to shorten
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 4: you for taking so the head your whole head's length.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: Mistake not Uncle, further than you should take, not.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 4: Good cousin further than you should lest you mistake.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 7: The heavens are o'er head.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: I know it, Uncle, and oppose not myself against their will.
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: But who comes here, enter Percy, Welcome Harry. What will
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: not this castle yield?
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 4: The castle royalist manned, my lord against thy entrance royally?
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: Why it contains no king?
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 4: Yes, my good lord, it doth contain a king. King
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 4: Richard lies within the limits of your lime and stone,
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 4: and with him are the Lord Almel. Lord Salisbury says
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 4: Stephen Scroop, besides a clergyman of hourly reverence, who I cannot.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 5: Learn, Oh, belike, it is the Bishop of Carlyle.
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: Noble lords go to the rude ribs of that ancient
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: castle through brazen trumpets, send the breath of parley into

• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: and power, provided that my banishment repealed and lands restored

  Speaker 1: of my power and lay the summer's dust with showers
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: of blood rain from the wounds of slaughtered Englishmen, the
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: which how far off from the mind of Bolinbroke it
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: is such crimson tempest should bedrench the fresh green lap
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: of fair King Richard's land. My stooping duty tenderly shall

  Speaker 1: the grassy carpet at this plain, Let's march without the

  Speaker 1: our fair appointments may be well perused. Methinks King Richard
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: and myself should meet with no less terror than the

  Speaker 1: elements of fire and water. When their thundering shock at
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: meeting tears the cloudy cheeks of heaven, be he the fire,
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 1: I'll be the yielding water, the rage be his. Whilst

• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: the envious clouds are bent to dim his glory and
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 1: to stain the track of his bright passage to the occident.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 4: Yet look see, like a king. Behold his eye as
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 4: bright as is. The eagles liens forth, controlling majesty, lack

  Speaker 2: thy joints forget to pay their awful duty to our presence,
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 2: if we be not show us the hand of God

• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: have torn their souls by turning them from us, and
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 2: we are barren and bereft of friends, yet no, my

  Speaker 2: Tell Bolingbroke, for Yon to me thinks he stands that
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 2: every stride he makes upon my land is dangerous treason.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 2: He is come to open the purple testament of bleeding war.

• 2:00:19
  Speaker 4: his slanderous lips. There is my gauge, the manual seal
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 4: of death that marks thee out for hell, I say
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 4: thou liest and will maintain what thou hast said is
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 4: false in thy heart blood, though being all too base
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 4: to stain the temper of my knightly sword.
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: Beg it forbear, Thou shalt not take it.
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 4: Up, excepting one I would he were the best in
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 4: all this presence that hath moved me.
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 2: So if that divalor stand on sympathy, there is my gauge,
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 2: oh Merle, engaged to thine by that fair sun, which
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 2: shows me where thou standest. I heard say and vauntingly
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 2: thou spakest it that thou wert cause of Noble Gloucester's death.
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 2: If thou deniest it twenty times thou liest, and I
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 2: will turn thy faults to thy heart where it was
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 2: forged with my rapier's point.
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 4: Thou darest not coward live to see that day?
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 2: Now by my soul, I would it were this hour
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 2: fits water.
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 4: Thou art damned to hell for this, Oh mel, thou
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 4: liest it honor is as true in this appeal as
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 4: thou art all unjust, and that thou art. So there
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 4: I throw my gauge to prove it on thee to
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 4: the extremest point of mortal breathing. Seize it if thou darest,
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 4: and if I do not, may my hands rot off,
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 4: and never brandish more revengeful steel over the glittering helmet
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 4: of my foe.
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: I task the earth to the like for sworn or myrle,
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 1: and spur thee on with full as many lies as
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 1: may be haddled in thy treacherous ear, from son to sun.
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 1: There is my Honor's pawn. Engage it to the trial.
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 4: If thou darest, who sets meing else by heaven our
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 4: throw at all. I have a thousand spirits in one
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 4: breast to answer twenty thousands such.
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 5: As you, my lord Fitzwater. I do remember well the
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 5: very time only in you did talk.
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 2: That's very true. You are in presence then, and you
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 2: can witness with me this.
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 5: Is true as close by heaven Heaven itself is true.
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 2: Sorry, thou liest.
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 5: This honorable boy, that lie shall lie so heavy on
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 5: my sword, that it shall render vengeance and revenge till
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 5: thou lie giver, and that lie do lie in earth
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 5: as quiet as thy father's skull in proof. Whereof there
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 5: needs my Honor's pawn, Engage it to the true I'll
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 5: eat thou gavest.
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 2: How fondly dost thou spur forward horse if I dare
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 2: eat or drink, or breathe or live. I dare meet
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 2: Surrey in a wilderness and spit upon him, whilst I
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 2: say he lies and lies and lies. There is my
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 2: bond of faith to tie thee to my strong correction,
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 2: as I intend to thrive in this new world. Oh
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 2: Merle is guilty of my true appeal. Besides, I heard
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 2: the banished Norfolk say that thou, oh Merle, didst send
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 2: two of thy men to execute a noble duke at Calais.
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 4: Some honest Christian trust me with the gauge that Norfolk
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 4: lies here? Do I throw down this? If he may
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 4: be a repeal to try his honor.
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 1: These differences shall all rest under gage till Norfolk be repealed.
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 1: Repealed he shall be, and though mine enemy restored again
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 1: to all his lands and sigiaries. With his return against
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 1: o Earth, we will enforce his trial.
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 5: Ah that honorable de shall nay be seen. Many a
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 5: time hath banished Norfolk thought for Jesus Christ in glorious
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 5: Christian field stream in the ensign of the Christian Cross,
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 5: against black pagans zan Saracens, and toiled with works of war,
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 5: retired himself to Italy, and there at Venice gave his
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 5: body to that pleasant country's earth, and his pure soul
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 5: into his Captain Christ, and to whose colors he had
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 5: fought so long.
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 1: Why Bishop, is Norfolk dead.
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 5: As surely as I live, my lud sweet.
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 1: Peace, conduct his sweet soul to the bosom of good
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 1: Old Abraham. Lords of Penance, Your differences shall all rest
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 1: under gage till we assign you to your days of trial.
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 1: Enter Yorke attended, Great Duke of Lancaster.
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 4: I come to thee from plume pluck to Richard, who,
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 4: with willing soul adopts the heir, and as a high scepter,
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 4: yields to the possession of thy royal hand as sund
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 4: is throne descending now from him, And long live Henry fourth.
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 1: Of that name. In God's name, I'll ascend the regal throne.
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 5: Marry God forbid worst in this royal presence? May I speak? Yet,
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 5: best beseeming me to speak the truth? Would God that
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 5: any in this noble presence were enough noble to be
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 5: upright judge of noble Richard, then true noblest would learn
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 5: him forbearance from so foul a wrong. What subject can
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 5: give sentence on his king, and who sits here that
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 5: is not Richard's subject. These are not judged, but they
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 5: are by to hear, although apparent guilt be seen in them.
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 5: And shall the figure of God's majesty his Captain Stuart
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 5: Deputy Elect, the knointed, crowned, planted many years, be judged
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 5: by subject and inferior breath, and he himself not present. Oh,
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 5: forfended God, that in a Christian climate souls we find
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 5: should show so henious black of scene a deed. I
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 5: speak the subjects, and a subject speaks, stirred up by God.
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 5: Thus boldly for his king, My lord of Hereford here,
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 5: whom you call king, is a foul traitor too proud
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 5: Hereford's king, And if you claim him, let me prophesy.
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 5: The blood of English shall manure the ground and future
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 5: ages grown. For this foul act. Peace shall go sleep
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 5: with turks and infidels, and in the seat of peace
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 5: tumultuous words shall kin with kin, and kind with kind
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 5: confound this or the horror, fear and muterery shall here inhabit,
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 5: and this land be called the field of gold Gotha
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 5: and dead mans goes Ah. If you raise this house
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 5: against this house. It will the woeless division prove that
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 5: ever fell upon this cursed earth, prevent it, resist it.
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 5: Let it not be so lest child child's children cry
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 5: against your woe.
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 3: Well have you argued, sir, and for your pains of
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 3: capital treason? We arrest you here, My Lord of Westminster.
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 3: Be it your charge to keep him safely till his
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 3: day of trial. May it please you, lords to grant
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 3: the commons suit.
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 1: Fetch hither Richard it in common view he may surrender.
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 1: So we shall proceed without suspicion. I will be as
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 1: conduct exit. Lords, you that here are under our arrest,
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 1: procure your sureties for your days of answer. Little are
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 1: we beholding to your love, and little looked for at
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 1: your helping hands. We enter York with Richard and officers
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 1: bearing the regalia.
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 2: Alak, why am I sent for to a king? Before
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 2: I have shook off the regal thoughts where without reigned
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 2: I hardly yet have learned to insinuate, flatter bow and
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 2: bend my limbs. Give sorrow, leave a while to tutor
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 2: me to this submission. Yet I well remember the favors
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 2: of these men. Were they not mine? Did they not
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 2: sometime cry all hail to me, so judas did to Christ.
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 2: But he in twelve found truth in all but one
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 2: I in twelve thousand none, God save the King. Will
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 2: no man say, amen am I both priest and clerk?
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 2: Well then amen, God save the King, although I be
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 2: not he? And yet amen, if Heaven do think him
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 2: me to do? What service am I sent for?
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 4: Hither to do that office.
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 7: Of thine own good will?
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 4: Which tired majesty did make thee offer the resignation of
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 4: thy state and crown to Henry Bolingbrook.
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 2: Give me the crown here, cousin, seize the crown here, cousin,
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 2: on this side my hand, and on that side yours.
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 2: Now is this golden crown like a deep well that
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 2: owes two buckets filling one another, the emptier ever dancing
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 2: in the air, the other down, unseen and full of water.
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 2: That bucket down and full of tears? Am I drinking
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 2: my grieves whilst you mount up.
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 1: On high I thought you had been willing.
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 2: To resign my crown, I am, But still my griefs
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 2: are mine. You may my glories and my state depose,
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 2: but not my griefs. Still am I king of those?
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 1: Part of your cares you give me with your crown.
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 2: Your cares set up. Do not pluck my cares down.
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 2: My care is loss of care by old care done.
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 2: Your care is gain of care by new care. Wan
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 2: The cares I give I have, though given away, they
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 2: tend the crown, Yet still with me they stay.
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 1: Are you contented to resign the crown?
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 2: I no, no, I, for I must nothing be therefore
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 2: no no, for I resign'd to THEE. Now mark me
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 2: how I will undo myself. I give this heavy weight
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 2: from off my head, and this unwieldy scepter from my hand,
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 2: the pride of Kingly's sway from out my heart, with
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 2: mine own tears. I wash away my balm with mine
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 2: own hands. I give away my crown with mine own tongue,
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 2: deny my sacred state with mine own breath. Release all
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 2: duty's rights, all pomp and majesty. I do forswear my manners, rents, revenues.
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 2: I forego my acts, decrease and statutes. I deny God,
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 2: pardon all oath that are broke to me. God keep
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 2: all vows unbroke that swear to THEE. Make me that
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 2: nothing have with nothing griev'd, and thou withal pleas'd that
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 2: hast all achieved. Long mayst thou live in Richard, sit,
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 2: to sit, and soon lie Richard in an earthy pit.
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 2: God save King Harry unkinged, Richard says, and sent him
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 2: many years of sunshine days.
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 5: What more remains no more but that you read these
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 5: accusations and these grievous crimes committed by your person and
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 5: your followers against the state and profit of this land,
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 5: that by confessing them, the souls of men may deem
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 5: that you are worthily deposed?
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 2: Must I do so? And must I revel out my
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 2: weaved up folly, Gentle Northumberland, If thy offenses were upon record,
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 2: would it not shame thee in so fair a troop
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 2: to read a lecture of them? If thou wouldst there,
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 2: shouldst thou find one heinous article containing the deposing of
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 2: a king and cracking the strong warrant of an oath
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 2: marked with a blot dammed in the book of heaven. Nay,
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 2: all of you that stand and look upon whilst that
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 2: my wretchedness doth bate myself. Though some of you with
• 2:13:15
  Speaker 2: pilot wash your hands showing an outward pity, Yet you
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 2: pilots have here delivered me to my sour cross, and
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 2: water cannot wash away your sin.
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 5: My lord despatch, read all these articles.
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 2: Mine eyes are full of tears I cannot see, and
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 2: yet salt water bliands them not so much, but they
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 2: can see a sort of traitors here. Nay, if I
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 2: turn mine eyes upon myself, I find myself a traitor
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 2: with the rest, For I have given here my soul's
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 2: consent to undeck the pompous body of a king made glory,
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 2: base and sovereignty, a slaph, proud majesty, a subject state,
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 2: a peasant, my lord, no lord of thye, thou hoart
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 2: insulting man, nor no man's lord. I have no name,
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 2: no title, no not that name was given me at
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 2: the fond, But disusurped a lack the heavy day that
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 2: I have worn so many winters out, and know not
• 2:14:25
  Speaker 2: now what name to call myself. Oh that I were
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 2: a mockery king of snow, standing before the son of
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 2: bolingbroke to melt myself away in water drops. Good king,
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 2: great king, and yet not greatly good. And if my
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 2: word be sterling yet in England, let it command a
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 2: mirror hither strait, that it may show me what a
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 2: face I have? Since it is bankrupt of his.
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 1: Majesty, Go some of you and fetch a looking glass.
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 3: Exit unatten did read all this paper while the glass that.
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 2: Come fiend Thou tormentest me, ere I come to hell.
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 1: Urge it no more, my Lord Northumberland.
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 3: The commons will not then be satisfied.
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 2: They shall be satisfied. I'll read enough when I do
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 2: see the very book indeed where all my sins are
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 2: writ and that's myself.
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 1: Re enter attendant with a glass.
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 2: Give me the glass, and therein will I read no
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 2: deeper wrinkles. Yet has sorrow struck so many blows upon
• 2:15:38
  Speaker 2: this face of mine, and made no deeper wounds, Oh
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 2: flattering glass, like to my followers in prosperity, thou dost
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 2: beguile me. Was this face the face that every day
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 2: under his household roof did keep ten thousand men? Was
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 2: this the face that, like the sun, did make me
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 2: hold a swink? Was this the face that faced so
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 2: many follies, and was at last outfaced by balling broke.
• 2:16:13
  Speaker 2: A brittle glory shineth in this face, as brittle as
• 2:16:18
  Speaker 2: the glory is.
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 1: The face dashes the glass against the ground.
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 2: For there it is cracked in a hundred shivers. Mark,
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 2: silent King, the moral of this sport. How soon my
• 2:16:34
  Speaker 2: sorrow hath destroyed my face.
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 1: The shadow of your sorrow hath destroyed the shadow of
• 2:16:41
  Speaker 1: your face.
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 2: Say that again, the shadow of my sorrow. Let's see
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 2: tis very true. My grief lies all within, and these
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 2: external manners of laments are merely shadows to the unseen
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 2: grief that swells with silence in the tortured soul. There
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 2: lies the substance. And I thank thee King for thy
• 2:17:07
  Speaker 2: great bounty that not only givest me cause to wail,
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 2: but teachest me the way how to lament the cause.
• 2:17:16
  Speaker 2: I'll beg one boon, and then be gone and trouble
• 2:17:19
  Speaker 2: you no more shall I obtain it.
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 1: Name it, fair cousin.
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 2: Fair cousin, I am greater than a king. For when
• 2:17:30
  Speaker 2: I was a king, my flatterers were then but subjects.
• 2:17:34
  Speaker 2: Being now a subject, I have a king here to
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 2: my flatterer, being so great, I have no need to
• 2:17:43
  Speaker 2: beg yet ask and shall I have? You shall then
• 2:17:49
  Speaker 2: give me leave to go whither whither you will, so
• 2:17:54
  Speaker 2: I were from your sights.
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 1: Go some of you convey him to the tower.
• 2:18:00
  Speaker 2: Oh good convey convey us. Are you all that rise
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 2: thus nimbly by a true king's fall?
• 2:18:10

• 2:18:33
  Speaker 3: The wolves to come? The children yet and born shall
• 2:18:36
  Speaker 3: feel this tea as shop to them as thorn?
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 4: You, holy clergyman, is there no plot to rid the
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 4: realm of this pernicious blot?
• 2:18:45
  Speaker 1: My Lord? Before I feely speak my mind herein, you
• 2:18:49
  Speaker 1: shall not only take the sacrament to bury mine intents,
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 1: but also to effect whatever I shall happen to devise.
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 1: I see your brows are full of discontent, your hearts
• 2:19:02
  Speaker 1: of sorrow, and your eyes of tears. Come home with
• 2:19:05

• 2:19:57
  Speaker 2: my condemned lord is doomed a prison by proud bolingbroke.
• 2:20:02
  Speaker 2: He let us rest, if dis rebellious earth have any
• 2:20:06
  Speaker 2: resting for a true king's.
• 2:20:08
  Speaker 1: Queen, Enter Richard and guard but.
• 2:20:13
  Speaker 2: Soft but see, or rather do not see, my fair rose,
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 2: whither yet look up, behold that you, in pity may
• 2:20:22
  Speaker 2: dissolve to de and wash him fresh again with true love. Tears, Ah,
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 2: thou the model where old Troy did stand, Thou map
• 2:20:33
  Speaker 2: of honor, Thou king Richard's tomb, and not King Richard.
• 2:20:39
  Speaker 2: Thou most beauteous inn. Why should olt favored grief be
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 2: lodged in thee when triumph is become an alehouse guest,
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 2: join not with grief, fair woman, Do not so to
• 2:20:54
  Speaker 2: make my end too sudden, Learn good soul, to think
• 2:20:58
  Speaker 2: our former state, happy dream from which awaked the truth
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 2: of what we are shows us. But this I am sworn, brother,
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 2: sweet to grim necessity, and he and I will keep
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 2: a league till death. Highly to friends, uncloistery in some
• 2:21:17
  Speaker 2: religious house, our holy lives must win a new world's crown,
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 2: which our profane hours here have stricken down. What is
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 2: my wish at both in shape and mind? Transformed and weakened,
• 2:21:33
  Speaker 2: hath bolingbroke depos thine intellect? Has he been in thy heart?
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 2: The lion dying thrustest forth his paw and wounds the earth,
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 2: if nothing else, with rage to be overpowered, and wilt thou, pupilike,
• 2:21:51
  Speaker 2: take thy correction, mildly kiss the rod and fawn on
• 2:21:55
  Speaker 2: a rage with base humility, which art a lie, and
• 2:22:00
  Speaker 2: the king of beasts, the king of beasts. Indeed, if
• 2:22:05
  Speaker 2: aught but beasts, I had been still a happy king
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 2: of men. Good Sometime, Queen, prepare thee hens, for friends,
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 2: think I am dead, and that even here thou takest
• 2:22:18
  Speaker 2: as from my death bed, thy last living leave. In
• 2:22:22
  Speaker 2: winter's tedious knights, sit by the fire with good old folks,
• 2:22:26
  Speaker 2: and let them tell details of woeful ages long ago betid,
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 2: and yet thou bid good night to quit their griefs.
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 2: Tell out a lamentable tale of me and send the
• 2:22:39
  Speaker 2: hearers weeping to their beds. For why the senseless brands
• 2:22:44
  Speaker 2: will sympathize the heavy accent of thy moving tongue, and
• 2:22:48
  Speaker 2: in compassion weep the fire out, and some will mourn
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 2: in ashes, some coal black for the deposing of a
• 2:22:56
  Speaker 2: rightful king.
• 2:22:58
  Speaker 1: Enter Northumberland and others.
• 2:23:01
  Speaker 3: My Lord, the mind of Bolingbrooke is changed. You must
• 2:23:05
  Speaker 3: to Pomfrey, not unto the tower, and Madam there is
• 2:23:09
  Speaker 3: order ten view, with all swiss speed, you must away to.
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 2: France Northumberland, Thou ladder, wherewithal the mounting Bolingbrog ascends my throne.
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 2: The time shall not be many hours of age more
• 2:23:25
  Speaker 2: than it is. If foul sin gathering head shall break
• 2:23:29
  Speaker 2: into corruption. Thou shalt think, though he divide the realm
• 2:23:34
  Speaker 2: and give thee have, it is too little helping him
• 2:23:38
  Speaker 2: to all. And he shall think that thou, which knowest
• 2:23:42
  Speaker 2: the way to plant unrightful kings, wilt know again, being
• 2:23:48
  Speaker 2: never so little urged, another way to pluck him headlong
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 2: from the usurped throne. The love of wicked men converts
• 2:23:57
  Speaker 2: to fear, that fear to eight and haight turns one
• 2:24:02
  Speaker 2: or both too worthy. Danger and deserved.
• 2:24:06
  Speaker 3: Death, my guilt beyond my head, and there an end,
• 2:24:11
  Speaker 3: Take leaven part, for you must part forthwith.
• 2:24:14
  Speaker 2: Doubly divorced bad men. You violate a twofold marriage TwixT
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 2: my crown and me, and then betwixt me and my
• 2:24:24
  Speaker 2: married wife. Let me unkiss the oath TwixT Dea and me.
• 2:24:29
  Speaker 2: And yet not so, for with a kiss twas made
• 2:24:33
  Speaker 2: part us Northumberland, I towards the north, where shivering cold
• 2:24:38
  Speaker 2: and sickness pines. The climb my wife to friends from
• 2:24:43
  Speaker 2: whence set forth in pomp she came adorned hither like
• 2:24:47
  Speaker 2: sweet may sent back like hallow mass or shortest of day?
• 2:24:54
  Speaker 2: And must we be divided? Must we part? I hand
• 2:24:59
  Speaker 2: from hand my love and heart from heart? How banish
• 2:25:04
  Speaker 2: as both in SENTI king with me?
• 2:25:08
  Speaker 3: That was some love, but little policy.
• 2:25:11
  Speaker 2: Then with the egos thither let me go, So two
• 2:25:16
  Speaker 2: together weeping make one woe weep Thou for me in friends,
• 2:25:21
  Speaker 2: I for thee here better far off than near be
• 2:25:26
  Speaker 2: never the near go count thy way with sighs, eye
• 2:25:32
  Speaker 2: mine with groans. So longest way shall have the longest
• 2:25:38
  Speaker 2: moans twice for one step I'll grown the way, being
• 2:25:43
  Speaker 2: short and piece the way out with a heavy heart. Come,
• 2:25:48
  Speaker 2: come in, wooing sorrow. Let's be brief, since sweating it
• 2:25:52
  Speaker 2: there is such length in grief. One kiss shall stop
• 2:25:56
  Speaker 2: our mouths, and dumbly part, dost give I mine? And
• 2:26:01
  Speaker 2: thus take i thy heart, Give me mine own again,
• 2:26:06
  Speaker 2: twin no good part to take on me to keep
• 2:26:09
  Speaker 2: and kill thy heart. So now I have mine own again,
• 2:26:15
  Speaker 2: be gone that I may strive to kill it with
• 2:26:19
  Speaker 2: a groan. We make woe wanton with this fond delay.
• 2:26:25
  Speaker 2: Once more, adieu the rest, lets sorrow say.
• 2:26:30
  Speaker 1: Excellent scene too, the Duke of York's palace, enter York
• 2:26:36
  Speaker 1: and his duchess.
• 2:26:39
  Speaker 2: My Lord, you told me you would tell the rest
• 2:26:42
  Speaker 2: when weeping made you break the story off of our
• 2:26:45
  Speaker 2: two cousins coming into London. Where did I leave at
• 2:26:49
  Speaker 2: that sad stop, my lord, where rude misgoverned hands from windowstops,
• 2:26:55
  Speaker 2: through dust and rubbish on King Richard's head.
• 2:26:58
  Speaker 4: Then, as I said, the Duke Great Bowlingbrook, mounted upon
• 2:27:03
  Speaker 4: a hot and fiery steed, which his aspiring riders seemed
• 2:27:07
  Speaker 4: to know, with slow but stately pace, kept on his course,
• 2:27:12
  Speaker 4: whilst all tongues cried God, save thee Bolingbrook he would
• 2:27:17
  Speaker 4: have thought the very window spake so many greedy looks
• 2:27:20
  Speaker 4: of young and old through casemens darted their desiring eyes
• 2:27:23
  Speaker 4: upon his visage, and that all the walls with painted
• 2:27:27
  Speaker 4: imagery had said at once JESU preserved thee welcome Bolingbrook.
• 2:27:32
  Speaker 4: Whilst he, from the one side to the other, turning
• 2:27:36
  Speaker 4: bare headed, lower than his proud steed's neck, bespake them,
• 2:27:40
  Speaker 4: thus I thank you countrymen, And thus still doing thus
• 2:27:45
  Speaker 4: he passed along.
• 2:27:47
  Speaker 2: I like poor Richard, where wrote he the whilst he is.
• 2:27:51
  Speaker 4: In a theater, the eyes of men after a well
• 2:27:55
  Speaker 4: graced actor leaves the stage a ridly bent on him
• 2:27:59
  Speaker 4: that enters neck, thinking his prattle to be tedious. Even
• 2:28:04
  Speaker 4: so with much more contempt, men's eyes did scowl on
• 2:28:08
  Speaker 4: gentle Richard. No man cried God save him, No joyful
• 2:28:13
  Speaker 4: tongue gave him his welcome home. But dust was thrown
• 2:28:17
  Speaker 4: upon his sacred head, which with such gentle sorrow he
• 2:28:21
  Speaker 4: shook off his face, still combating with tears and smiles
• 2:28:26
  Speaker 4: the badgers of his grief and patience. That had not
• 2:28:30
  Speaker 4: God some strong purpose stealed the hearts of men, they
• 2:28:34
  Speaker 4: must perforce have melted and barbarism itself have pitied him.
• 2:28:40
  Speaker 4: But Heaven hath a hand in these events. Those high
• 2:28:44
  Speaker 4: will we bound are calm contents to Bolingbrooke. We are
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 4: sworn subjects. Now whose state and honor I for eye allow?
• 2:28:54
  Speaker 10: Here comes my son Omer, Oh mer that was, but
• 2:28:59
  Speaker 10: that is lost for being Richard's friend, and Madam you
• 2:29:03
  Speaker 10: must call him Rutland.
• 2:29:04
  Speaker 4: Now I am in Parliament pledge for his truth and
• 2:29:09
  Speaker 4: lasting fielty to the new made king enter or.
• 2:29:13
  Speaker 2: Merle Welcome my son? Who are the violets? Now that's
• 2:29:17
  Speaker 2: through the green lap of the new come spring?
• 2:29:21
  Speaker 4: Madam, I know not, nor I greatly care not. God
• 2:29:24
  Speaker 4: knows I had his leef been none as one? Well,
• 2:29:28
  Speaker 4: bear you well in this new spring of time, lest
• 2:29:31
  Speaker 4: you be cropped before you come to prime. What news
• 2:29:35
  Speaker 4: from Oxford? Hold those justs and triumphs for aught? I know,
• 2:29:40
  Speaker 4: my Lord, they do. You will be there, I know,
• 2:29:44
  Speaker 4: if God prevent not I purpose? So what seal is
• 2:29:48
  Speaker 4: that that hangs without thy bosom? Yea lookst thou pale.
• 2:29:53
  Speaker 4: Let me see the writing, my Lord says nothing. No matter,
• 2:29:57
  Speaker 4: then who see it? I will be satisfied. Let me
• 2:30:01
  Speaker 4: see the writing, Or do beseech your grace to pardon me.
• 2:30:04
  Speaker 4: It is a matter of small consequence, which for some
• 2:30:07
  Speaker 4: reasons I would not have seen, which for some reason, sir,
• 2:30:11
  Speaker 4: I mean to see.
• 2:30:13
  Speaker 7: I fear, I fear.
• 2:30:16
  Speaker 2: What should you fear? Tis nothing but some band that
• 2:30:20
  Speaker 2: he has entered into for gay apparel, against the triumph day.
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 4: Bound to himself, or doth he with a bond that
• 2:30:28
  Speaker 4: he is bound to wi thou art a fool boy.
• 2:30:33
  Speaker 4: Let me see the writing I do. Beseech you pardon me.
• 2:30:37
  Speaker 4: I may not show it. I will be satisfied. Let
• 2:30:42
  Speaker 4: me see it, I say.
• 2:30:44
  Speaker 1: He plucks it out of his bosom and reads it.
• 2:30:47
  Speaker 4: Treason, foul, treason, villain, traitor, slave?
• 2:30:57
  Speaker 2: What is the matter, my lord?
• 2:30:59
  Speaker 7: Oh? Who is within?
• 2:31:01
  Speaker 1: There? Enter a servant?
• 2:31:04
  Speaker 4: Saddle my horse God for his mercy?
• 2:31:07
  Speaker 7: What treachery is here?
• 2:31:09
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 2:31:10
  Speaker 2: What is it? My Lord?
• 2:31:12
  Speaker 4: Give me my boots, I say, saddle my.
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 1: Horse, exit, servant, now.
• 2:31:19
  Speaker 7: By mine honor, by my life, by my troth. I
• 2:31:22
  Speaker 7: will appeach the villain.
• 2:31:24
  Speaker 2: What is the matter, peace, foolish woman, I will not peace.
• 2:31:29
  Speaker 2: What is the matter, o'mel, good mother?
• 2:31:32
  Speaker 7: Be contented?
• 2:31:32
  Speaker 4: Is no more than my poor life must answer?
• 2:31:35
  Speaker 2: Thy life answer?
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 7: Bring me my boots.
• 2:31:39
  Speaker 1: I will unto the king re enter servant with.
• 2:31:42
  Speaker 2: Boots, strike him omel poor boy. Thou art amazed, hence
• 2:31:49
  Speaker 2: villain never more come in.
• 2:31:51
  Speaker 5: My sight, give me my boots.
• 2:31:55
  Speaker 2: I say, why, yorke, what wilt thou do? Wilt thou
• 2:32:00
  Speaker 2: not hide the trespass of thine own? Have we more sons?
• 2:32:05
  Speaker 2: Or how we like to have? Is not my teeming?
• 2:32:08
  Speaker 2: They drunk up with time? And wilt thou plug my
• 2:32:12
  Speaker 2: fair son from mine age and rob me of a
• 2:32:15
  Speaker 2: happy mother's name? Is he not like thee? Is he
• 2:32:19
  Speaker 2: not thine own?
• 2:32:22
  Speaker 4: Thou, fond mad woman? Will thou conceal this dark conspiracy?
• 2:32:28
  Speaker 4: A dozen of them here obtain a sacrament and interchangeably
• 2:32:32
  Speaker 4: set down their hands to kill the king at Oxford?
• 2:32:35
  Speaker 2: He shall be none. We'll keep him here? Then? What
• 2:32:39
  Speaker 2: is that to him?
• 2:32:40
  Speaker 7: Why fond woman worry twenty times? My son? I would repeach.
• 2:32:45
  Speaker 2: Him, hast thou groaned for him as I have done.
• 2:32:49
  Speaker 2: Thou wouldst be more pitiful. But now I know thy mind.
• 2:32:55
  Speaker 2: Thou dost suspect that I have been disloyal to thy bed,
• 2:32:59
  Speaker 2: and that he is a bastard, not thy son. Sweet
• 2:33:04
  Speaker 2: York sweet husband, be not of that mind. He is
• 2:33:09
  Speaker 2: as like THEE as a man may be, not like
• 2:33:12
  Speaker 2: to me or any of my kin, And yet I
• 2:33:16
  Speaker 2: love him.
• 2:33:18
  Speaker 7: Make way, unruly woman.
• 2:33:21
  Speaker 2: Exit after Omil mount thee upon his horse, spare post,
• 2:33:27
  Speaker 2: and get before him to the king, and beg thy pardon.
• 2:33:31
  Speaker 2: Ere he do accuse thee. I'll not be long behind,
• 2:33:35
  Speaker 2: though I be old, I doubt not, but ride as
• 2:33:38
  Speaker 2: fast as York, And never will I rise up from
• 2:33:42
  Speaker 2: the ground till Bolingbroke have pardon tea away.
• 2:33:47
  Speaker 1: Begone excellent same three a royal palace, enter Bolingbroke, Percy
• 2:33:57
  Speaker 1: and other lords. Can no man tell me of my
• 2:34:01
  Speaker 1: unthrifty son tis full three months since I could see
• 2:34:05
  Speaker 1: him last. If any plague hang over us tis he,
• 2:34:10
  Speaker 1: I would to God, my lords, he might be found.
• 2:34:12
  Speaker 1: Inquire at London amongst the taverns there, For there they say,
• 2:34:16
  Speaker 1: he daily doth frequent with unrestrained, loose companions. Even such
• 2:34:20
  Speaker 1: they say, as stand in narrow lanes and beat our
• 2:34:23
  Speaker 1: watch and rob our passengers, which he young, wanton and
• 2:34:27
  Speaker 1: a feminate boy takes on the point of honor to
• 2:34:30
  Speaker 1: support so disolute a crew.
• 2:34:32
  Speaker 4: My lord some two days sins. I saw the Prince
• 2:34:35
  Speaker 4: and told him of those chimes held at Oxford?
• 2:34:38
  Speaker 1: And what said the gallant?
• 2:34:41
  Speaker 4: His answer was he would unto the stews and from
• 2:34:45
  Speaker 4: the commst creature, pluck a glove and wear it as
• 2:34:48
  Speaker 4: a favor, And with that he would unhorse the lustiest challenger.
• 2:34:53
  Speaker 1: As dissolute as desperate. Yet through both I see some
• 2:34:57
  Speaker 1: sparks of better hope, which elder years may happily bring forth.
• 2:35:01
  Speaker 1: But who comes here? Enter a merle?
• 2:35:05
  Speaker 7: Where's the king?
• 2:35:06
  Speaker 1: What means our cousin that he stares and looks so wildly?
• 2:35:11
  Speaker 4: God, save your grace. I do beseech your majesty to
• 2:35:14
  Speaker 4: have some conference with your grace alone.
• 2:35:16
  Speaker 1: Withdraw yourselves and leave us here alone, Excellent piercy and lords,
• 2:35:23
  Speaker 1: what is the matter with our cousin? Now?
• 2:35:25
  Speaker 4: However, may my knees grow to the earth, my tongue
• 2:35:28
  Speaker 4: cleave to my roof within my mouth unless the pardoner
• 2:35:30
  Speaker 4: I rise or.
• 2:35:30
  Speaker 1: Speak intended or committed? Was this fault? If I'm the first?
• 2:35:36
  Speaker 1: How hein? Is there it be to wein thy after love?
• 2:35:38
  Speaker 1: I pardon thee.
• 2:35:39
  Speaker 4: Then give me leave that I may turn the key
• 2:35:42
  Speaker 4: that no man enter till my tale be done.
• 2:35:45
  Speaker 1: Have thy desire York within my leechh beware.
• 2:35:50
  Speaker 7: Look to thyself. Thou hast to trade in thy presence.
• 2:35:54
  Speaker 1: There, Villain, I'll make thee safe, drawing stay.
• 2:35:59
  Speaker 4: Thy eventual hands, and thou hast no cast of fear.
• 2:36:02
  Speaker 4: Open the door, secure, foolhardy King, Shall I full love
• 2:36:07
  Speaker 4: speak treason to thy face?
• 2:36:09
  Speaker 7: Open the door, or I will break it?
• 2:36:12
  Speaker 1: Open me enter York. What is the matter? Uncle, speak,
• 2:36:17
  Speaker 1: recover breath, tell us how nearest danger that we may
• 2:36:20
  Speaker 1: arm us to encounter it.
• 2:36:22
  Speaker 4: Bruce is writing here, and thou shalt know the treason
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 4: that my haste.
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 7: For bis me show.
• 2:36:29
  Speaker 4: Remember as thou reachest thy promise past, I do repent me.
• 2:36:35
  Speaker 7: Read not my name there.
• 2:36:37
  Speaker 4: My heart is not confederate with my hand.
• 2:36:40
  Speaker 7: It was Villain. If thy hand had set.
• 2:36:44
  Speaker 4: It down, I tore it from the traitor's bosom. King,
• 2:36:50
  Speaker 4: fear and not love begets his penitence forgets to pity him.
• 2:36:55
  Speaker 4: Unlest I pity prove a serpent that will sting thee
• 2:36:58
  Speaker 4: to the heart.
• 2:36:59
  Speaker 1: O heinous, strong and bold conspiracy or loyal father of
• 2:37:05
  Speaker 1: a treacherous son, Thou sheer immaculate and silver fountain. From
• 2:37:09
  Speaker 1: whence this stream, through muddy passages hath held his current,
• 2:37:12
  Speaker 1: and a knight himself. Thy overflow of good convert to bad,
• 2:37:16
  Speaker 1: and thy abundant goodness shall excuse this deadly blot in
• 2:37:21
  Speaker 1: thy digressing son.
• 2:37:22
  Speaker 4: So shall my virtue be his vices bard, and he
• 2:37:26
  Speaker 4: shall spend mine honor with his shame as thriftless sons
• 2:37:30
  Speaker 4: their scraping father's gold mine honor lives when his dishonor dies,
• 2:37:37
  Speaker 4: or my shamed life in his dishonor lies thou kill'st
• 2:37:42
  Speaker 4: me in his life giving him breath. The traitor lives
• 2:37:46
  Speaker 4: the true man's.
• 2:37:47
  Speaker 7: Put to death.
• 2:37:49
  Speaker 1: Duchess, within what ho my liege.
• 2:37:53
  Speaker 2: For God's sake, Let me in.
• 2:37:55
  Speaker 1: What srill voiced, suppliant makes this eager cry a.
• 2:38:00
  Speaker 2: Woman, and thy aunt, great king tis I speak with me,
• 2:38:06
  Speaker 2: pity me open the door. A beggar begs that never
• 2:38:11
  Speaker 2: begged before.
• 2:38:12
  Speaker 1: Our scene is altered from the serious thing, and now
• 2:38:16
  Speaker 1: change it to the beggar and the king, my dangerous cousin.
• 2:38:19
  Speaker 1: Let your mother in. I know she has come to
• 2:38:22
  Speaker 1: pray for your foul sin.
• 2:38:23

• 2:39:34
  Speaker 2: Plead see in earnest look upon his face. His eyes
• 2:39:38
  Speaker 2: do drop no tears. His prayers are in jest. His
• 2:39:42
  Speaker 2: words come from his mouth, ours from our breast. He
• 2:39:47
  Speaker 2: prays but faintly, and would be denied. We pray with
• 2:39:52
  Speaker 2: heart and soul, and all beside his weary joints would
• 2:39:57
  Speaker 2: gladly rise. I know our niece shall kneel till to
• 2:40:02
  Speaker 2: the ground they grow. His prayers are full of false hypocrisy.

• 2:40:21
  Speaker 1: Good Aunt, stand up.
• 2:40:24
  Speaker 2: Nay, do not say stand up, Say pardon first, and
• 2:40:29
  Speaker 2: afterwards stand up. And if I were I nurse thy
• 2:40:33
  Speaker 2: tongue to teach, pardon should be the first word of
• 2:40:37
  Speaker 2: thy speech. I never long to hear a word till
• 2:40:41
  Speaker 2: now say pardon. King, Let pity teach thee how the
• 2:40:47
  Speaker 2: word is short, but not so short as sweet. No
• 2:40:52
  Speaker 2: word like pardon for King's mouth.
• 2:40:56
  Speaker 7: So meat speak it in French?
• 2:40:58
  Speaker 4: King, pardon, dost.
• 2:41:02
  Speaker 2: Thou teach pardon? Pardon to destroy O, my sour husband,
• 2:41:07
  Speaker 2: my heart hearted Lord, that sets the word itself against
• 2:41:12
  Speaker 2: the word speak pardon as this current in our land,
• 2:41:17
  Speaker 2: the shopping French, we do not understand. Thine eye begins
• 2:41:21
  Speaker 2: to speak, set thy tongue there or in thy piteous
• 2:41:26
  Speaker 2: heart plant thou thine ear that hearing how our plains
• 2:41:31
  Speaker 2: and prayers to pierce pity may move thee pardon to rehearse.
• 2:41:37
  Speaker 1: Good Aunt, stand up.
• 2:41:40
  Speaker 2: I do not suit to stand. Pardon is all the
• 2:41:44
  Speaker 2: suit I have in hand.
• 2:41:46
  Speaker 1: I pardon him as God shall pardon me.
• 2:41:50
  Speaker 2: Oh happy vantage of a kneeling knee. Yet am I
• 2:41:54
  Speaker 2: sick for fear? Speak it again twice, saying pardon does
• 2:41:59
  Speaker 2: not pardonwain, but makes one pardon strong.
• 2:42:04
  Speaker 1: With all my heart, I pardon.
• 2:42:06
  Speaker 2: Him a god on earth thou art.
• 2:42:10
  Speaker 1: But for our trusty brother in law and the abbot,
• 2:42:13
  Speaker 1: with all the rest of that consorted crue destruction, straight
• 2:42:16
  Speaker 1: shall dog them at the heels. Good Uncle, help to
• 2:42:19
  Speaker 1: order several powers to Oxford, or where'er these traitors are.
• 2:42:23
  Speaker 1: They shall not live within this world, I swear, but
• 2:42:25
  Speaker 1: I will have them if I once know where. Uncle, farewell,
• 2:42:30
  Speaker 1: and cousin to adieu your mother well hath prayed and
• 2:42:34
  Speaker 1: prove you true?
• 2:42:36
  Speaker 2: Come, my old son, I pray God make thee new
• 2:42:41
  Speaker 2: excellentt scene for the same enter Exton and servant.
• 2:42:49
  Speaker 7: Did so not mark the king? What worth he spake?
• 2:42:53
  Speaker 7: Have I? No friend wildered me of this living fear?
• 2:42:55
  Speaker 5: Was it not?
• 2:42:56
  Speaker 7: So?
• 2:42:57
  Speaker 1: These were his very words?
• 2:43:00
  Speaker 5: I know?
• 2:43:01
  Speaker 4: Friend, quoth he he speaketh twice and urged twice together?
• 2:43:06
  Speaker 7: Did he not?
• 2:43:07
  Speaker 1: He did?
• 2:43:08
  Speaker 4: And speaking it he wistfully looked on me, as who
• 2:43:12
  Speaker 4: should say, I would thou wert the man that would
• 2:43:15
  Speaker 4: divorce this terror for my heart? Meaning the king at Pomfret, Come,
• 2:43:20
  Speaker 4: let's go. I am the King's friend and will rid
• 2:43:24
  Speaker 4: his foe.
• 2:43:25
  Speaker 1: Exellent seam five Pomfret Castle, Enter, King Richard.
• 2:43:33
  Speaker 2: I have been studying how I may compare this prison
• 2:43:37
  Speaker 2: where I live unto the world. And for because the
• 2:43:41
  Speaker 2: world is populous, and here is not a creature but myself,
• 2:43:46
  Speaker 2: I cannot do it. Yet I'll hammer it out my brain.
• 2:43:50
  Speaker 2: I'll proved the female to my soul, my soul the father,
• 2:43:55
  Speaker 2: and these two beget a generation of still breeding thoughts.
• 2:44:00
  Speaker 2: And these same thoughts people this little world in humors,
• 2:44:05
  Speaker 2: like the people of this world. For no thought is
• 2:44:08
  Speaker 2: contented the better sort, as thoughts of things divine are
• 2:44:13
  Speaker 2: intermixed with scruples, and do set the word itself against
• 2:44:19
  Speaker 2: the world, as does come little ones. And then again
• 2:44:25
  Speaker 2: it is hard to come, as for a camel to
• 2:44:28
  Speaker 2: thread the postern of a small needle's eye. Thoughts tending
• 2:44:33
  Speaker 2: to ambition, they do plot unlikely wanders. How these vain,
• 2:44:38
  Speaker 2: weak nails may tear a passage through the flinty ribs
• 2:44:42
  Speaker 2: of this hard world, my ragged prison walls. And for
• 2:44:46
  Speaker 2: they cannot die in their own pride. Thoughts tending to
• 2:44:51
  Speaker 2: content flatter themselves that they are not the first of
• 2:44:56
  Speaker 2: fortune slaves, nor shall not be the last, like silly beggars,
• 2:45:01
  Speaker 2: who sitting in the stocks refuge their shame that many
• 2:45:05
  Speaker 2: have and others must sit there. And in this thought
• 2:45:09
  Speaker 2: they find a kind of ease, bearing their own misfortunes
• 2:45:13
  Speaker 2: on the back of such as have before endured the like.
• 2:45:17
  Speaker 2: Thus play I in one person, many people, and none contented.
• 2:45:22
  Speaker 2: Sometimes am I king? Then treasons make me wish myself
• 2:45:27
  Speaker 2: a beggar, and so I am. Then crushing penury persuades me.
• 2:45:32
  Speaker 2: I was better when a king. Then am I kinged again?
• 2:45:37
  Speaker 2: And by and by think that I am unkind, by
• 2:45:40
  Speaker 2: bolingbroke and straight am nothing. But whatever I be, nor
• 2:45:45
  Speaker 2: I nor any man that but men is with nothing,
• 2:45:50
  Speaker 2: shall be pleased till he be eased with being nothing.
• 2:45:55
  Speaker 1: Music?
• 2:45:57
  Speaker 2: Music, do I hear, ha ha? Keep time? How sour
• 2:46:02
  Speaker 2: sweet music is when time is broke and no proportion kept?
• 2:46:08
  Speaker 2: So is it in the music of men's lives? And
• 2:46:12
  Speaker 2: here have I the daintiness of ear to check time
• 2:46:15
  Speaker 2: broke in a disordered string. But for the concord of
• 2:46:19
  Speaker 2: my state and time, had not an ear to hear
• 2:46:23
  Speaker 2: my true time broke. I wasted time, and now doth
• 2:46:28
  Speaker 2: time waste me? For now has time made me his
• 2:46:32
  Speaker 2: numbering clock. My thoughts are minutes, and with sighs they
• 2:46:37
  Speaker 2: jar their watches on unto mine eyes the outward watch,
• 2:46:42
  Speaker 2: where to my finger, like a dial's point is pointing
• 2:46:46
  Speaker 2: still in cleansing them from tears. Now, sir, the sound
• 2:46:51
  Speaker 2: that tells what hour it is are clamorous groans which
• 2:46:56
  Speaker 2: strike upon my heart, which is the bell. So sighs
• 2:47:01
  Speaker 2: and tears and groans show minutes, times and hours. But
• 2:47:06
  Speaker 2: my time runs posting on in Bolingbroke's proud joy, while
• 2:47:12
  Speaker 2: I stand fooling here his jack of the clock. This
• 2:47:17
  Speaker 2: music mads me. Let it sound no more, for though
• 2:47:21
  Speaker 2: it have hope madmen to their wits in me, it
• 2:47:24
  Speaker 2: seems it will make wise men mad. Yet blessing on
• 2:47:28
  Speaker 2: his heart that gives it me, for this a sign
• 2:47:31
  Speaker 2: of love, and love to Richard is a strange brooch
• 2:47:36
  Speaker 2: in this all hating world.
• 2:47:39
  Speaker 1: Enter a groom of the stable.
• 2:47:42
  Speaker 2: Hail royal prince, Thanks, noble peer. The cheapest of us
• 2:47:47

• 2:47:51
  Speaker 2: comest thou hither when no man never comes but that
• 2:47:55
  Speaker 2: sad dog that brings me food to make misfortune live.
• 2:48:00
  Speaker 4: I was a poor groomer, thy stable king, when thou
• 2:48:03
  Speaker 4: art King, who traveling towards York with much ado, at
• 2:48:07
  Speaker 4: length have got leave to look upon my sometimes royal
• 2:48:09
  Speaker 4: master's face.
• 2:48:11
  Speaker 7: Oh how'd he earned my heart?
• 2:48:13
  Speaker 4: And I beheld in London streets that Coronation day when
• 2:48:16
  Speaker 4: Bolingbroke rode on roan Barbary, that horse that thou so
• 2:48:20
  Speaker 4: often hast bestrid, that horse that I so carefully have dressed.
• 2:48:25
  Speaker 2: Rode he on Barbary. Tell me, gentle friend, how and
• 2:48:30
  Speaker 2: he under him.
• 2:48:32
  Speaker 4: So proudly as if he disdained the ground, so.
• 2:48:36
  Speaker 2: Proud that Bolingbroke was on his back, that jade hath
• 2:48:40
  Speaker 2: eat bread from my royal hand, This hand hath made
• 2:48:44
  Speaker 2: him proud with clapping him. Would he not stumble? Would
• 2:48:48
  Speaker 2: he not fall down? Since pride must have a fall
• 2:48:52
  Speaker 2: and break the neck of that proud man that did
• 2:48:55
  Speaker 2: usurp his back forgiveness horse? Why why do I rail
• 2:49:00
  Speaker 2: on thee. Since thou created to be awed by man,
• 2:49:05
  Speaker 2: was born to bear, I was not made a horse,
