jest�察�His words come from his mouth�察�ours from our breast。 He prays but 

faintly and would be denied�察�We pray with heart and soul�察�and all beside。 

His weary joints would gladly rise�察�I know�察�Our knees still kneel till to the 

ground they grow。 His prayers are full of false hypocrisy�察�Ours of true zeal 

and deep integrity。 Our prayers do out´pray his�察�then let them have That 

mercy   which   true   prayer   ought   to   have。   BOLINGBROKE。   Good   aunt�察�

stand     up。  DUCHESS。        do   not   say   'stand  up'�察  �Say   'pardon'   first�察 �and 

afterwards 'stand up。' An if I were thy nurse�察�thy tongue to teach�察�'Pardon' 

should be the first word of thy speech。 I never long'd to hear a word till 

now�察�Say 'pardon��' King�察�let pity teach thee how。 The word is short�察�but not 

so short as sweet�察�No word like 'pardon' for kings' mouths so meet。 YORK。 

Speak it in French�察�King�察�say 'pardonne moy。' DUCHESS。 Dost thou teach 

pardon   pardon   to   destroy�拭�Ah�察  �my   sour   husband�察  �my   hard´hearted   lord�察�

That sets the word itself against the word� �Speak 'pardon' as 'tis current in 

our land�察�The chopping French we do not understand。 Thine eye begins to 

speak�察�set thy tongue   there�察  �Or in thy piteous  heart   plant thou   thine   ear�察�

That hearing how our plaints and prayers do pierce�察�Pity may move thee 

'pardon' to rehearse。 BOLINGBROKE。 Good aunt�察�stand up。 DUCHESS。 I 

do not sue to stand�察�Pardon is all the suit I have in hand。 BOLINGBROKE。 

I pardon him�察�as God shall pardon me。 DUCHESS。 O happy vantage of a 

kneeling knee� �Yet am I sick for fear。 Speak it again。 Twice saying 'pardon' 

doth not pardon twain�察�But makes one pardon strong。 BOLINGBROKE。 

With   all   my   heart   I   pardon   him。   DUCHESS。   A   god   on   earth   thou   art。 

BOLINGBROKE。 But for our trusty brother´in´law and the Abbot�察�With 

all the rest of that consorted crew�察�Destruction straight shall dog them at 

the heels。 Good uncle�察�help to order several powers To Oxford�察�or where'er

       KING   RICHARD。   I   have   been   studying   how   I   may   compare   This 

prison where I live unto the world And�察�for because the world is populous 

And here is not a creature but myself�察�I cannot do it。 Yet I'll hammer it out。 

My brain I'll prove the female to my soul�察�My soul the father�察�and these 

two     beget   A   generation     of  still´breeding    thoughts�察   �And     these   same 

thoughts people this little world�察�In humours like the people of this world�察�

For no thought is contented。 The better sort�察�As thoughts of things divine�察�

are intermix'd With scruples�察�and do set the word itself Against the word�察�

As thus�此�'Come�察�little ones'�察�and then again�察�'It is as hard to come as for a 

camel To thread the postern of a small needle's eye。' Thoughts tending to 

ambition�察�they do plot Unlikely wonders�此�how these vain weak nails May
