our stern upon a dreadful rock�拭�Yet Aeolus would not be a murderer�察�But
left that hateful office unto thee。 The pretty´vaulting sea refus'd to drown
me�察�Knowing that thou wouldst have me drown'd on shore With tears as
salt as sea through thy unkindness�察 �The splitting rocks cow'r'd in the
sinking sands And would not dash me with their ragged sides�察�Because thy
flinty heart�察�more hard than they�察�Might in thy palace perish Margaret。 As
far as I could ken thy chalky cliffs�察�When from thy shore the tempest beat
us back�察�I stood upon the hatches in the storm�察�And when the dusky sky
began to rob My earnest´gaping sight of thy land's view�察�I took a costly
jewel from my neck´ A heart it was�察�bound in with diamonds´ And threw it
towards thy land。 The sea receiv'd it�察�And so I wish'd thy body might my
heart。 And even with this I lost fair England's view�察�And bid mine eyes be
packing with my heart�察�And call'd them blind and dusky spectacles For
losing ken of Albion's wished coast。 How often have I tempted Suffolk's
tongue´ The agent of thy foul inconstancy´ To sit and witch me�察 �as
Ascanius did When he to madding Dido would unfold His father's acts
commenc'd in burning Troy� �Am I not witch'd like her�拭�Or thou not false
like him�拭�Ay me�察�I can no more� �Die�察�Margaret�察�For Henry weeps that thou
dost live so long。
Noise within。Enter WARWICK�察�SALISBURY�察�and many commons
WARWICK。 It is reported�察 �mighty sovereign�察 �That good Duke
Humphrey traitorously is murd'red By Suffolk and the Cardinal Beaufort's
means。 The commons�察�like an angry hive of bees That want their leader�察�
scatter up and down And care not who they sting in his revenge。 Myself
have calm'd their spleenful mutiny Until they hear the order of his death。
KING HENRY。 That he is dead�察�good Warwick�察�'tis too true�察�But how he
died God knows�察�not Henry。Enter his chamber�察�view his breathless corpse�察�
And comment then upon his sudden death。 WARWICK。 That shall I do�察�
my liege。 Stay�察�Salisbury�察�With the rude multitude till I return。 Exit Exit
SALISBURY with the commons KING HENRY。 O Thou that judgest all
things�察 �stay my thoughts´ My thoughts that labour to persuade my soul
Some violent hands were laid on Humphrey's life� �If my suspect be false�察�
forgive me�察�God�察�For judgment only doth belong to Thee。 Fain would I go
to chafe his paly lips With twenty thousand kisses and to drain Upon his

face an ocean of salt tears To tell my love unto his dumb deaf trunk�察�And
with my fingers feel his hand un´feeling�察�But all in vain are these mean
obsequies�察�And to survey his dead and earthy image�察�What were it but to
make my sorrow greater�拭�
Bed put forth with the body。Enter WARWICK
WARWICK。 Come hither�察�gracious sovereign�察�view this body。 KING
HENRY。 That is to see how deep my grave is made�察�For with his soul fled
all my worldly solace�察�For�察�seeing him�察�I see my life in death。 WARWICK。
As surely as my soul intends to live With that dread King that took our
state upon Him To free us from his Father's wrathful curse�察�I do believe
that violent hands were laid Upon the life of this thrice´famed Duke。
SUFFOLK。 A dreadful oath�察�sworn with a solemn tongue� �What instance
gives Lord Warwick for his vow�拭 �WARWICK。 See how the blood is
settled in his face。 Oft have I seen a timely´parted ghost�察 �Of ashy
semblance�察 �meagre�察 �pale�察 �and bloodless�察 �Being all descended to the
labouring heart�察�Who�察�in the conflict that it holds with death�察�Attracts the
same for aidance 'gainst the enemy�察�Which with the heart there cools�察�and
ne'er returneth To blush and beautify the cheek again。 But see�察�his face is
black and full of blood�察 �His eye´balls further out than when he liv'd�察�
Staring full ghastly like a strangled man�察 �His hair uprear'd�察 �his nostrils
stretch'd with struggling�察�His hands abroad display'd�察�as one that grasp'd
And tugg'd for life�察�and was by strength subdu'd。 Look�察�on the sheets his
hair�察 �you see�察 �is sticking�察 �His well´proportion'd beard made rough and
rugged�察�Like to the summer's corn by tempest lodged。 It cannot be but he
was murd'red here�此�The least of all these signs were probable。 SUFFOLK。
Why�察�Warwick�察�who should do the Duke to death�拭�Myself and Beaufort
had him in protection�察�And we�察�I hope�察�sir�察�are no murderers。 WARWICK。
But both of you were vow'd Duke Humphrey's foes�察�And you�察 �forsooth�察�
had the good Duke to keep。 'Tis like you would not feast him like a friend�察�
And 'tis well seen he found an enemy。 QUEEN。 Then you�察�belike�察�suspect
these noblemen As guilty of Duke Humphrey's timeless death。 WARWICK。
Who finds the heifer dead and bleeding fresh�察�And sees fast by a butcher
with an axe�察�But will suspect 'twas he that made the slaughter�拭�Who finds
the partridge in the puttock's nest But may imagine how the bird was dead�察�

Although the kite soar with unbloodied beak�拭�Even so suspicious is this
tragedy。 QUEEN。 Are you the butcher�察 �Suffolk�拭 �Where's your knife�拭 �Is
Beaufort term'd a kite�拭�Where are his talons�拭�SUFFOLK。 I wear no knife
to slaughter sleeping men�察�But here's a vengeful sword�察�rusted with ease�察�
That shall be scoured in his rancorous heart That slanders me with
murder's crimson badge。 Say if thou dar'st�察�proud Lord of Warwickshire�察�
That I am faulty in Duke Humphrey's death。 Exeunt CARDINAL�察�
SOMERSET�察 �and others WARWICK。 What dares not Warwick�察 �if false
Suffolk dare him�拭 �QUEEN。 He dares not calm his contumelious spirit�察�
Nor cease to be an arrogant controller�察�Though Suffolk dare him twenty
thousand times。 WARWICK。 Madam�察�be still´ with reverence may I say�察�
For every word you speak in his behalf Is slander to your royal dignity。
SUFFOLK。 Blunt´witted lord�察�ignoble in demeanour�察�If ever lady wrong'd
her lord so much�察 �Thy mother took into her blameful bed Some stern
untutor'd churl�察�and noble stock Was graft with crab´tree slip�察�whose fruit
thou art�察�And never of the Nevils' noble race。 WARWICK。 But that the
guilt of murder bucklers thee�察�And I should rob the deathsman of his fee�察�
Quitting thee thereby of ten thousand shames�察�And that my sovereign's
presence makes me mild�察 �I would�察 �false murd'rous coward�察 �on thy knee
Make thee beg pardon for thy passed speech And say it was thy mother
that thou meant'st�察�That thou thyself was born in bastardy�察�And�察�after all
this fearful homage done�察 �Give thee thy hire and send thy soul to hell�察�
Pernicious blood´sucker of sleeping men。 SUFFOLK。 Thou shalt be
waking while I shed thy blood�察�If from this presence thou dar'st go with
me。 WARWICK。 Away even now�察 �or I will drag thee hence。 Unworthy
though thou art�察 �I'll cope with thee�察 �And do some service to Duke
Humphrey's ghost。 Exeunt SUFFOLK and WARWICK KING HENRY。
What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted�拭�Thrice is he arm'd that
hath his quarrel just�察�And
