[Enter KING RICHARD II, with BAGOT and GREEN at one door; and the DUKE OF
AUMERLE at another]
KING RICHARD II
, ,
, ,
We did | observe.| Cousin | Aumerle,
<- , T
T T ,
, ___
How far || brought you high | Hereford | on his
| way?
DUKE OF AUMERLE
, , ,
, ,
I brought | high Here/ford (if | you call | him
so)
, 2 ,
, ,
,
But to the | next high/way, and | there I | left
him.
KING RICHARD II
, ,
, ,
,
And say,| what store | of part|ing tears | were
shed?
DUKE OF AUMERLE
,
, , . T
T T
Faith^none | for me:| except | the
northeast wind,
, , , , ,
Which^then | blew bit/terly | against | our face,
,
, ,
, ,
Awaked | the sleep|ing rheum,| and so | by chance
,
, ,
, ,
Did grace | our hol|low part|ing with | a tear.
KING RICHARD II
, , ,
, x
What said | our cous|in when | you part|ed with
him?
DUKE OF AUMERLE
, ,
, ,
2 ,
Farewell:| and for | my heart | disdained | that
my tongue
,
, , ,
,
Should so | profane | the word,| that taught | me
craft
,
, ,
, ,
To count|erfeit | oppres|sion of / such grief,
, , , ,
,
That word | seemed bur/ied in | my sor|row's
grave.
, 2
, , , ,
Marry,| would the word | farewell,| have
length|ened hours,
, ,
, , ,
And ad|ded years | to his / short ban|ishment,
, ,
, ,
,
He should | have had | a vol|ume of | farewells,
, ,
, ,
,
But since | it would / not, he | had none | of
me.
KING RICHARD II
, ,
, ,
,
He is | our cous|in (cous|in)| but |'tis doubt,
, ,
, , ,
When time | shall call | him home | from
ban|ishment,
,
, ,
, ,
Whether | our kins|man come | to see | his
friends,
, ,
, , ,
Ourself,| and Bush|y: here | Bagot | and Green
, ,
, 2 ,
,
Observed | his court|ship to the | common |
people:
,
, , , ,
How he | did seem | to dive | into | their hearts,
,
, ,
, ,
With hum|ble, and | famil|iar court|esy,
,
, ,
, ,
What reve|rence he | did throw | away | on
slaves;
,
, , ,
,
Wooing | poor crafts/men, with | the craft | of
souls,
, ,
, x ,
And pa|tient und|erbear|ing of his | fortune,
,
, ,
, ,
As 'twere | to ban|ish their | effects | with
him.
T T .
T , , ,
Off goes his bon|net to | an oyst|er-wench,
, ,
, ,
,
A brace | of dray|men bid | God* speed | him
well,
, ,
, ,
,
And had | the trib|ute of | his sup|ple knee,
, ,
, ,
,
With thanks,| my count|rymen,| my lov|ing
friends,
, ,
, ,
,
As were | our Eng|land in | revers|ion his,
,
, ,
, ,
And he | our sub|jects'* next | degree | in hope.
GREEN
,
, ,
, ,
Well, he | is gone,| and with | him go | these
thoughts:
, 2
, ,
, ,
Now for the | rebels,| which stand^|out in |
Ireland,
, 2 ,
, ,
,
Exped|ient man|age must | be made | my liege
, , , ,
,
Ere furth|er leis|ure, yield | them furth|er
means
,
, ,
, ,
For their | advant|age, and | your high|ness'
loss.
KING RICHARD II
, ,
, , ,
We will | ourself | in pers|on to | this war,
,
, , ,
,
And for | our cof|fers, with / too great | a
court,
,
2 ,
, T T T
And libe|ral largess,| are grown | somewhat
light,
,
, ,
, ,
We are | enforced | to farm | our roy|al realm,
, , ,
, ,
The rev|enue | whereof | shall furn|ish us
, ,
, ,
,
For our | affairs | in hand:| if that | come short
, ,
, 2
, ,
Our sub|stitutes | at home | shall have blank |
charters:
, , ,
, ,
Whereto,| when they | shall know | what men | are
rich,
,
, ,
, ,
They shall | subscribe | them for / large sums |
of gold,
, ,
, ,
,
And send | them aft|er to | supply | our wants:
, ,
, ,
,
For we | will make | for Ire|land pres|ently.

Now put | it (heaven)| in his | physi|cian's
