KING RICHARD II:
|
'Fair cousin'? I am greater than a king:
|
For when I was a king, my flatterers
|
Were then but subjects; being now a subject,
|
I have a king here to my flatterer.
|
Being so great, I have no need to beg.
|
HENRY BOLINGBROKE:
|
Yet ask.
|
KING RICHARD II:
|
And shall I have?
|
HENRY BOLINGBROKE:
|
You shall.
|
KING RICHARD II:
|
Then give me leave to go.
|
HENRY BOLINGBROKE:
|
Whither?
|
KING RICHARD II:
|
Whither you will, so I were from your sights.
|
HENRY BOLINGBROKE:
|
Go, some of you convey him to the Tower.
|
KING RICHARD II:
|
O, good! convey? conveyers are you all,
|
That rise thus nimbly by a true king's fall.
|
HENRY BOLINGBROKE:
|
On Wednesday next we solemnly set down
|
Our coronation: lords, prepare yourselves.
|
Abbot:
|
A woeful pageant have we here beheld.
|
BISHOP OF CARLISLE:
|
The woe's to come; the children yet unborn.
|
Shall feel this day as sharp to them as thorn.
|
DUKE OF AUMERLE:
|
You holy clergymen, is there no plot
|
To rid the realm of this pernicious blot?
|
Abbot:
|
My lord,
|
Before I freely speak my mind herein,
|
You shall not only take the sacrament
|
To bury mine intents, but also to effect
|
Whatever I shall happen to devise.
|
I see your brows are full of discontent,
|
Your hearts of sorrow and your eyes of tears:
|
Come home with me to supper; and I'll lay
|
A plot shall show us all a merry day.
|
QUEEN:
|
This way the king will come; this is the way
|
To Julius Caesar's ill-erected tower,
|
To whose flint bosom my condemned lord
|
Is doom'd a prisoner by proud Bolingbroke:
|
Here let us rest, if this rebellious earth
|
Have any resting for her true king's queen.
|
But soft, but see, or rather do not see,
|
My fair rose wither: yet look up, behold,
|
That you in pity may dissolve to dew,
|
And wash him fresh again with true-love tears.
|
Ah, thou, the model where old Troy did stand,
|
Thou map of honour, thou King Richard's tomb,
|
And not King Richard; thou most beauteous inn,
|
Why should hard-favour'd grief be lodged in thee,
|
When triumph is become an alehouse guest?
|
KING RICHARD II:
|
Join not with grief, fair woman, do not so,
|
To make my end too sudden: learn, good soul,
|
To think our former state a happy dream;
|
From which awaked, the truth of what we are
|
Shows us but this: I am sworn brother, sweet,
|
To grim Necessity, and he and I
|
Will keep a league till death. Hie thee to France
|
And cloister thee in some religious house:
|
Our holy lives must win a new world's crown,
|
Which our profane hours here have stricken down.
|
QUEEN:
|
What, is my Richard both in shape and mind
|
Transform'd and weaken'd? hath Bolingbroke deposed
|
Thine intellect? hath he been in thy heart?
|
The lion dying thrusteth forth his paw,
|
And wounds the earth, if nothing else, with rage
|
To be o'erpower'd; and wilt thou, pupil-like,
|
Take thy correction mildly, kiss the rod,
|
And fawn on rage with base humility,
|
Which art a lion and a king of beasts?
|
KING RICHARD II:
