well´disposed hearts�察 �And prick my tender patience to those thoughts
Which honour and allegiance cannot think。 KING RICHARD。 Think what
you will�察�we seize into our hands His plate�察�his goods�察�his money�察�and his
lands。 YORK。 I'll not be by the while。 My liege�察�farewell。 What will ensue
hereof there's none can tell�察�But by bad courses may be understood That
their events can never fall out good。 Exit KING RICHARD。 Go�察�Bushy�察�to
the Earl of Wiltshire straight�察�Bid him repair to us to Ely House To see this
business。 To´morrow next We will for Ireland�察�and 'tis time�察�I trow。 And
we create�察 �in absence of ourself�察 �Our Uncle York Lord Governor of
England�察�For he is just�察�and always lov'd us well。 Come on�察�our queen�察�to´
morrow must we part�察 �Be merry�察 �for our time of stay is short。 Flourish。
Exeunt KING�察 �QUEEN�察 �BUSHY�察 �AUMERLE�察 �GREEN�察 �and BAGOT
NORTHUMBERLAND。 Well�察�lords�察�the Duke of Lancaster is dead。 Ross。
And living too�察�for now his son is Duke。 WILLOUGHBY。 Barely in title�察�
not in revenues。 NORTHUMBERLAND。 Richly in both�察�if justice had her
right。 ROSS。 My heart is great�察 �but it must break with silence�察 �Ere't be
disburdened with a liberal tongue。 NORTHUMBERLAND。 Nay�察 �speak
thy mind�察�and let him ne'er speak more That speaks thy words again to do
thee harm� �WILLOUGHBY。 Tends that thou wouldst speak to the Duke of
Hereford�拭�If it be so�察�out with it boldly�察�man�察�Quick is mine ear to hear of
good towards him。 ROSS。 No good at all that I can do for him�察�Unless you
call it good to pity him�察 �Bereft and gelded of his patrimony。
NORTHUMBERLAND。 Now�察 �afore God�察 �'tis shame such wrongs are
borne In him�察 �a royal prince�察 �and many moe Of noble blood in this
declining land。 The King is not himself�察�but basely led By flatterers�察�and
what they will inform�察�Merely in hate�察�'gainst any of us an�察�That will the
King severely prosecute 'Gainst us�察�our lives�察�our children�察�and our heirs。
ROSS。 The commons hath he pill'd with grievous taxes�察�And quite lost
their hearts�察 �the nobles hath he find For ancient quarrels and quite lost
their hearts。 WILLOUGHBY。 And daily new exactions are devis'd�察 �As
blanks�察�benevolences�察�and I wot not what�察�But what�察�a God's name�察�doth
become of this�拭 �NORTHUMBERLAND。 Wars hath not wasted it�察 �for
warr'd he hath not�察�But basely yielded upon compromise That which his
noble ancestors achiev'd with blows。 More hath he spent in peace than

they in wars。 ROSS。 The Earl of Wiltshire hath the realm in farm。
WILLOUGHBY。 The King's grown bankrupt like a broken man。
NORTHUMBERLAND。 Reproach and dissolution hangeth over him。
ROSS。 He hath not money for these Irish wars�察�His burdenous taxations
notwithstanding�察 �But by the robbing of the banish'd Duke。
NORTHUMBERLAND。 His noble kinsman´most degenerate king� �But�察�
lords�察�we hear this fearful tempest sing�察�Yet seek no shelter to avoid the
storm�察�We see the wind sit sore upon our sails�察�And yet we strike not�察�but
securely perish。 ROSS。 We see the very wreck that we must suffer�察�And
unavoided is the danger now For suffering so the causes of our wreck。
NORTHUMBERLAND。 Not so�察�even through the hollow eyes of death I
spy life peering�察�but I dare not say How near the tidings of our comfort is。
WILLOUGHBY。 Nay�察�let us share thy thoughts as thou dost ours。 ROSS。
Be confident to speak�察 �Northumberland。 We three are but thyself�察 �and�察�
speaking so�察 �Thy words are but as thoughts�察 �therefore be bold。
NORTHUMBERLAND。 Then thus�此�I have from Le Port Blanc�察�a bay In
Brittany�察�receiv'd intelligence That Harry Duke of Hereford�察�Rainold Lord
Cobham�察 �That late broke from the Duke of Exeter�察 �His brother�察�
Archbishop late of Canterbury�察�Sir Thomas Erpingham�察�Sir John Ramston�察�
Sir John Norbery�察�Sir Robert Waterton�察�and Francis Quoint´ All these�察�well
furnish'd by the Duke of Britaine�察 �With eight tall ships�察 �three thousand
men of war�察�Are making hither with all due expedience�察�And shortly mean
to touch our northern shore。 Perhaps they had ere this�察�but that they stay
The first departing of the King for Ireland。 If then we shall shake off our
slavish yoke�察�Imp out our drooping country's broken wing�察�Redeem from
broking pawn the blemish'd crown�察 �Wipe off the dust that hides our
sceptre's gilt�察�And make high majesty look like itself�察�Away with me in
post to Ravenspurgh�察 �But if you faint�察 �as fearing to do so�察 �Stay and be
secret�察�and myself will go。 ROSS。 To horse�察�to horse� �Urge doubts to them
that fear。 WILLOUGHBY。 Hold out my horse�察 �and I will first be there。
Exeunt

SCENE 2。 Windsor Castle
Enter QUEEN�察�BUSHY�察�and BAGOT
BUSHY。 Madam�察�your Majesty is too much sad。 You promis'd�察�when
you parted with the King�察 �To lay aside life´harming heaviness And
entertain a cheerful disposition。 QUEEN。 To please the King�察 �I did�察 �to
please myself I cannot do it�察�yet I know no cause Why I should welcome
such a guest as grief�察 �Save bidding farewell to so sweet a guest As my
sweet Richard。 Yet again methinks Some unborn sorrow�察�ripe in fortune's
womb�察�Is coming towards me�察�and my inward soul With nothing trembles。
At some thing it grieves More than with parting from my lord the King。
BUSHY。 Each substance of a grief hath twenty shadows�察 �Which shows
like grief itself�察�but is not so�察�For sorrow's eye�察�glazed with blinding tears�察�
Divides one thing entire to many objects�察�Like perspectives which�察�rightly
gaz'd upon�察�Show nothing but confusion´ey'd awry�察�Distinguish form。 So
your sweet Majesty�察�Looking awry upon your lord's departure�察�Find shapes
of grief more than himself to wail�察�Which�察�look'd on as it is�察�is nought but
shadows Of what it is not。 Then�察�thrice´gracious Queen�察�More than your
lord's departure weep not´more is not seen�察 �Or if it be�察 �'tis with false
sorrow's eye�察�Which for things true weeps things imaginary。 QUEEN。 It
may be so�察�but yet my inward soul Persuades me it is otherwise。 Howe'er
it be�察 �I can
