KING RICHARD THE SECOND
teeming womb of royal kings�察�Fear'd by their breed�察�and famous by their
birth�察�Renowned for their deeds as far from home�察�For Christian service
and true chivalry�察�As is the sepulchre in stubborn Jewry Of the world's
ransom�察�blessed Mary's Son�察�This land of such dear souls�察�this dear dear
land�察 �Dear for her reputation through the world�察 �Is now leas'd out´I die
pronouncing it´ Like to a tenement or pelting farm。 England�察 �bound in
with the triumphant sea�察�Whose rocky shore beats back the envious siege
Of wat'ry Neptune�察 �is now bound in with shame�察 �With inky blots and
rotten parchment bonds�察�That England�察�that was wont to conquer others�察�
Hath made a shameful conquest of itself。 Ah�察 �would the scandal vanish
with my life�察�How happy then were my ensuing death� �
Enter KING and QUEEN�察�AUMERLE�察�BUSHY�察�GREEN�察�BAGOT�察�
Ross�察�and WILLOUGHBY
YORK。 The King is come�察�deal mildly with his youth�察�For young hot
colts being rag'd do rage the more。 QUEEN。 How fares our noble uncle
Lancaster�拭 �KING RICHARD。 What comfort�察 �man�拭 �How is't with aged
Gaunt�拭 �GAUNT。 O�察 �how that name befits my composition� �Old Gaunt�察�
indeed�察�and gaunt in being old。 Within me grief hath kept a tedious fast�察�
And who abstains from meat that is not gaunt�拭�For sleeping England long
time have I watch'd�察�Watching breeds leanness�察�leanness is an gaunt。 The
pleasure that some fathers feed upon Is my strict fast´I mean my children's
looks�察�And therein fasting�察�hast thou made me gaunt。 Gaunt am I for the
grave�察�gaunt as a grave�察�Whose hollow womb inherits nought but bones。
KING RICHARD。 Can sick men play so nicely with their names�拭�
GAUNT。 No�察�misery makes sport to mock itself�此�Since thou dost seek to
kill my name in me�察�I mock my name�察�great king�察�to flatter thee。 KING
RICHARD。 Should dying men flatter with those that live�拭�GAUNT。 No�察�
no�察�men living flatter those that die。 KING RICHARD。 Thou�察�now a´dying�察�
sayest thou flatterest me。 GAUNT。 O�察�no� �thou diest�察�though I the sicker
be。 KING RICHARD。 I am in health�察�I breathe�察�and see thee ill。 GAUNT。
Now He that made me knows I see thee ill�察�Ill in myself to see�察�and in thee
seeing ill。 Thy death´bed is no lesser than thy land Wherein thou liest in
reputation sick�察�And thou�察�too careless patient as thou art�察�Commit'st thy
anointed body to the cure Of those physicians that first wounded thee�此�A

thousand flatterers sit within thy crown�察�Whose compass is no bigger than
thy head�察�And yet�察�incaged in so small a verge�察�The waste is no whit lesser
than thy land。 O�察�had thy grandsire with a prophet's eye Seen how his son's
son should destroy his sons�察�From forth thy reach he would have laid thy
shame�察�Deposing thee before thou wert possess'd�察�Which art possess'd now
to depose thyself。 Why�察�cousin�察�wert thou regent of the world�察�It were a
shame to let this land by lease�察�But for thy world enjoying but this land�察�Is
it not more than shame to shame it so�拭�Landlord of England art thou now�察�
not King。 Thy state of law is bondslave to the law�察 �And thou´ KING
RICHARD。 A lunatic lean´witted fool�察�Presuming on an ague's privilege�察�
Darest with thy frozen admonition Make pale our cheek�察�chasing the royal
blood With fury from his native residence。 Now by my seat's right royal
majesty�察�Wert thou not brother to great Edward's son�察�This tongue that runs
so roundly in thy head Should run thy head from thy unreverent shoulders。
GAUNT。 O�察 �Spare me not�察 �my brother Edward's son�察 �For that I was his
father Edward's son�察�That blood already�察�like the pelican�察�Hast thou tapp'd
out�察 �and drunkenly carous'd。 My brother Gloucester�察 �plain well´meaning
soul´ Whom fair befall in heaven 'mongst happy souls� � May be a
precedent and witness good That thou respect'st not spilling Edward's
blood。 Join with the present sickness that I have�察�And thy unkindness be
like crooked age�察�To crop at once a too long withered flower。 Live in thy
shame�察�but die not shame with thee� �These words hereafter thy tormentors
be� �Convey me to my bed�察�then to my grave。 Love they to live that love
and honour have。 Exit�察�borne out by his attendants KING RICHARD。 And
let them die that age and sullens have�察 �For both hast thou�察 �and both
become the grave。 YORK。 I do beseech your Majesty impute his words To
wayward sickliness and age in him。 He loves you�察�on my life�察�and holds
you dear As Harry Duke of Hereford�察 �were he here。 KING RICHARD。
Right�察�you say true�此�as Hereford's love�察�so his�察�As theirs�察�so mine�察�and all
be as it is。
Enter NORTHUMBERLAND
NORTHUMBERLAND。 My liege�察�old Gaunt commends him to your
Majesty。 KING RICHARD。 What says he�拭�NORTHUMBERLAND。 Nay�察�
nothing�察�all is said。 His tongue is now a stringless instrument�察�Words�察�life�察�

and all�察�old Lancaster hath spent。 YORK。 Be York the next that must be
bankrupt so� �Though death be poor�察 �it ends a mortal woe。 KING
RICHARD。 The ripest fruit first falls�察�and so doth he�察�His time is spent�察�
our pilgrimage must be。 So much for that。 Now for our Irish wars。 We
must supplant those rough rug´headed kerns�察 �Which live like venom
where no venom else But only they have privilege to live。 And for these
great affairs do ask some charge�察�Towards our assistance we do seize to us
The plate�察 �coin�察 �revenues�察 �and moveables�察�Whereof our uncle Gaunt did
stand possess'd。 YORK。 How long shall I be patient�拭�Ah�察�how long Shall
tender duty make me suffer wrong�拭�Not Gloucester's death�察�nor Hereford's
banishment�察�Nor Gaunt's rebukes�察�nor England's private wrongs�察�Nor the
prevention of poor Bolingbroke About his marriage�察�nor my own disgrace�察�
Have ever made me sour my patient cheek Or bend one wrinkle on my
sovereign's face。 I am the last of noble Edward's sons�察�Of whom thy father�察�
Prince of Wales�察 �was first。 In war was never lion rag'd more fierce�察 �In
peace was never gentle lamb more mild�察�Than was that young and princely
gentleman。 His face thou hast�察�for even so look'd he�察�Accomplish'd with
the number of thy hours�察�But when he frown'd�察�it was against the French
And not against his friends。 His noble hand Did win what he did spend�察�
and spent not that Which his triumphant father's hand had won。 His hands
were guilty of no kindred blood�察�But bloody with the enemies of his kin。 O
Richard� �York is too far gone with grief�察�Or else he never would compare
between´ KING RICHARD。 Why�察�uncle�察�what's the matter�拭�YORK。 O my
liege�察�Pardon me�察�if you please�察�if not�察�I�察�pleas'd Not to be pardoned�察�am
content withal。 Seek you to seize and gripe into your hands The royalties
and rights of banish'd Hereford�拭�Is not Gaunt dead�拭�and doth not Hereford
live�拭�Was not Gaunt just�拭�and is not Harry true�拭�Did not the one deserve to
have an heir�拭�Is not his heir a well´deserving son�拭�Take Hereford's rights
away�察�and take from Time His charters and his customary rights�察�Let not
to´morrow then ensue to´day�察�Be not thyself´for how art thou a king But
by fair sequence and succession�拭�Now�察�afore God´God forbid I say true� �
If you do wrongfully seize Hereford's rights�察�Call in the letters patents that
he hath By his attorneys´general to sue His livery�察 �and deny his off'red
homage�察�You pluck a thousand dangers on your head�察�You lose a thousand

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
