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

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。 WILLOUGHBY。 And daily new exactions are devis'd�察 �As

noble ancestors achiev'd with blows。 More hath he spent in peace than

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。

KING RICHARD THE SECOND
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 cannot but be sad�察 �so heavy sad As´though�察 �on thinking�察 �on no
thought I think´ Makes me with heavy nothing faint and shrink。 BUSHY。
'Tis nothing but conceit�察 �my gracious lady。 QUEEN。 'Tis nothing less�此�
conceit is still deriv'd From some forefather grief�察 �mine is not so�察 �For
nothing hath begot my something grief�察 �Or something hath the nothing
that I grieve�察�'Tis in reversion that I do possess´ But what it is that is not
yet known what�察�I cannot name�察�'tis nameless woe�察�I wot。
Enter GREEN
GREEN。 God save your Majesty� �and well met�察 �gentlemen。 I hope
the King is not yet shipp'd for Ireland。 QUEEN。 Why hopest thou so�拭�'Tis
better hope he is�察�For his designs crave haste�察�his haste good hope。 Then
wherefore dost thou hope he is not shipp'd�拭�GREEN。 That he�察�our hope�察�
might have retir'd his power And driven into despair an enemy's hope Who
25

KING RICHARD THE SECOND
strongly hath set footing in this land。 The banish'd Bolingbroke repeals
himself�察�And with uplifted arms is safe arriv'd At Ravenspurgh。 QUEEN。
Now God in heaven forbid� �GREEN。 Ah�察�madam�察�'tis too true�察�and that is
worse�察�The Lord Northumberland�察�his son young Henry Percy�察�The Lords
of Ross�察�Beaumond�察�and Willoughby�察�With all their powerful friends�察�are
fled to him。 BUSHY。 Why have you not proclaim'd Northumberland And
all the rest revolted faction traitors�拭 �GREEN。 We have�察 �whereupon the
Earl of Worcester Hath broken his staff�察�resign'd his stewardship�察�And all
the household servants fled with him To Bolingbroke。 QUEEN。 So�察�Green�察�
thou art the midwife to my woe�察�And Bolingbroke my sorrow's dismal heir。
Now hath my soul brought forth her prodigy�察 �And I�察 �a gasping new´
deliver'd mother�察 �Have woe to woe�察 �sorrow to sorrow join'd。 BUSHY。
Despair not�察�madam。 QUEEN。 Who shall hinder me�拭�I will despair�察�and be
at enmity With cozening hope´he is a flatterer�察�A parasite�察�a keeper´back of
death�察 �Who gently would dissolve the bands of life�察 �Which false hope
lingers in extremity。
Enter YORK
GREEN。 Here comes the Duke of York。 QUEEN。 With signs of war
about his aged neck。 O�察�full of careful business are his looks� �Uncle�察�for
God's sake�察 �speak comfortable words。 YORK。 Should I do so�察 �I should
belie my thoughts。 Comfort's in heaven�察�and we are on the earth�察�Where
nothing lives but crosses�察 �cares�察 �and grief。 Your husband�察 �he is gone to
save far off�察�Whilst others come to make him lose at home。 Here am I left
to underprop his land�察�Who�察�weak with age�察�cannot support myself。 Now
comes the sick hour that his surfeit made�察�Now shall he try his friends that
flatter'd him。
Enter a SERVINGMAN
SERVINGMAN。 My lord�察�your son was gone before I came。 YORK。
He was´why so go all which way it will� �The nobles they are fled�察 �the
commons they are cold And will�察�I fear�察�revolt on Hereford's side。 Sirrah�察�
get thee to Plashy�察�to my sister Gloucester�察�Bid her send me presently a
thousand pound。 Hold�察 �take my ring。 SERVINGMAN。 My lord�察 �I had
forgot to tell your lordship�察�To´day�察�as I came by�察�I called there´ But I shall
grieve you to report the rest。 YORK。 What is't�察�knave�拭�SERVINGMAN。

KING RICHARD THE SECOND
An hour before I came�察 �the Duchess died。 YORK。 God for his mercy� �
what a tide of woes Comes rushing on this woeful land at once� �I know
not what to do。 I would to God�察�So my untruth had not provok'd him
