[Enter QUEEN, BUSHY, and BAGOT]
BUSHY
, ,
, ,
,
Madam,| your maj|esty | is too | much^sad,
, ,
, ,
,
You prom|ised when | you part|ed with | the king,
, .
T T T
, ,
To lay | aside life harm|ing heav|iness,
, ,
, , ,
2->
And ent|ertain | a cheer|ful dis|posi||tion.
QUEEN
, ,
, , ,
To please | the king,| I did:| to please | myself
,
, , , ,
I can|not do | it: yet I // know no cause
, ,
, ,
,
Why I | should wel|come such | a guest | as
grief,
, ,
, ,
,
Save bid/ding fare|well to | so sweet | a guest
, ,
, ,
,
As my / sweet Rich|ard; yet | again | methinks,
, ,
, , ,
Some un|born* sor|row, ripe | in for|tune's womb
, ,
, ,
,
Is com|ing towards | me, and | my in|ward soul
,
, ,
, ,
With noth|ing trem|bles, at | something | it
grieves,
,
, ,
, ,
More than | with part|ing from | my lord | the
king.
BUSHY
, , 2
, ,
,
Each sub/stance of a | grief hath | twenty |
shadows
,
, ,
, ,
Which shows | like^grief | itself,| but is | not*
so:
, ,
, ,
,
For sor|row's eye,| glazed | with blind|ing
tears,
, ,
2 , , ,
Divides | one thing en|tire, to | many | objects.
??
,
, ,
, ,
Like per|spectives,| which right|ly gazed | upon
, , , ,
,
Show* noth|ing but | confu|sion, eyed | awry,
, , ,
, ,
Disting|uish form:| so your | sweet* maj|esty
,
, , ,
,
Looking a|wry u|pon your | lord's de|parture,
,
, ,
, ,
Find^shapes | of grief,| more than | himself | to
wail,
,
, , , , 2->
Which looked | on as | it is,| is nought | but
shad||ows
, 2 , T
T T
,
Of what | it is not:| Then thrice-gra|cious
queen,
,
, , , , , ,
,
More than your lord's departure weep not: more's
not seen; ????
, ,
, , ,
Or if | it be,| 'tis with / false sor|row's eye,
,
T T T
, x
Which for | things true, weeps |
things^ima|ginary.
QUEEN
,
, ,
, ,
It may | be so:| but yet | my in|ward soul
,
3 3 , , ,
,
Persuades | me it is oth|erwise:| howere | it be,
,
, ,
, ,
I can|not but | be sad:| so hea|vy sad,
, ,
, ,
,
As though | on think|ing on / no thought | I
think,
,
, ,
, ,
Makes me | with hea|vy noth|ing faint | and
shrink.
BUSHY
, ,
, ,
, 2->
'Tis noth|ing but | conceit |(my gra|cious
la||dy).
QUEEN
, ,
, ,
,
'Tis noth|ing less:| conceit | is still | derived
, ,
, ,
,
From some / forefath|er grief,| mine is | not^so,
, ,
, ,
,
For noth|ing had | begot | my some|thing grief,
, ,
, ,
,
Or some|thing, hath | the noth|ing that | I
grieve,
, ,
, , ,
'Tis in | rever|sion that | I do | possess,
, ,
, , ,
But what | it is,| that is / not yet | known,
what
,
, , ,
,
I can|not name,| 'tis name|less woe | I wot.
[Enter GREEN]
GREEN

Heaven | save your | majesty,| and well met |
gentlemen:
, x ,
, ,
I hope | the king is | not yet^|shipped for | Ireland.
QUEEN
, ,
, ,
,
Why hopst | thou so?| 'tis bet|ter hope | he is:
, 2 T
T T , ,
For his de|signs crave haste,| his haste | good
hope,
, ,
, ,
,
Then where|fore dost | thou hope | he is / not
shipped?
GREEN
,
, ,
, x
That he | our hope,| might have | retired | his
power,
x , 2
, ,
,
And driven | into des|pair an | ene|my's^hope,
,
, , ,
,
Who strong|ly hath / set foot|ing in | this land.
, ,
, ,
,
The ban|ished Bol|ingbroke | repeals | himself,
, ,
, ,
,
And with / uplift|ed arms | is safe | arrived
,
,
At Rav|enspurgh.
QUEEN
, x ,
Now God | in heaven | forbid.
GREEN
,
, ,
,
,
O mad|am 'tis / too true:| and that | is worse,
,
, , , ,
,
The Lord Northumberland, his young son Henry Percy,
??
, ,
, ,
,
The Lords | of Ross,| Beaumond,| and Wil|loughby,
, x ,
, ,
With all | their power|ful friends | are fled |
to him.
BUSHY
,
, , ,
,
Why have | you not | proclaimed | Northum|berland
, ,
, ,
, ->
And all | the rest | revolt|ed fac|tion,
trait||ors?
GREEN
,
, , ,
,
We have:| whereu|pon the | Earl of | Worcester
,
, , ,
,
Hath broke | his staff,| resigned | his
stew|ardship,
, ,
, , ,
, ,
And all the household servants fled with him to Bolingbroke. ??
QUEEN
,
, , ,
,
So Green,| thou art | the mid|wife to | my woe,
,
, ,
, ,
And Bol|ingbroke | my sor|row's dis|mal heir:
, 2
T T T , ,
Now hath my | soul brought forth | her prod|igy,
, ,
, , , 2->
And I | a gasp|ing new-|deliv|ered moth||er,
??
,
, , ,
,
Have woe | to woe,| sorrow | to sor|row joined.
BUSHY
, ,
Despair | not^mad|am.
QUEEN
, ,
,
Who | shall hind|er me?
, ,
, , ,
I will | despair,| and be | at en|mity
, ,
, 2 , ,
With coz|ening / hope; he | is a flat|terer,
, , , ,
,
A par|asite,| a keep|er-back | of death,
, ,
, ,
,
Who gen|tly would | dissolve | the bands | of
life,
, , , , ,
Which false | hope ling/ers in | extrem|ity.
[Enter DUKE OF YORK]
GREEN

Here comes | the Duke | of York. \\
QUEEN

Oh full | of care|ful bus|iness are | his looks:

T T 2 ,
Uncle,| for heaven's | sake, speak com|fortable
words.
DUKE OF YORK
,
, ,
, ,
Should I | do so,| I should | belie | my
thoughts:
,
x ,
, ,
Comfort's | in heaven,| and we | are on | the
earth,
, , ,
, ,
Where noth|ing lives | but cros|ses, cares | and
grief:
, ,
, ,
,
Your hus|band, he | is gone | to save | far^off,
, ,
, ,
,
Whilst^oth|ers come | to make | him lose | at
home:
,
, ,
, ,
Here am | I left | to und|erprop | his land,
, , , ,
,
Who^weak | with age,| cannot | support | myself:
,
, ,

Now* comes | the sick | hour that | his surf|eit
made,

Now shall | he try | his friends | that
flat|tered him.
[Enter a Servant]

DUKE OF YORK

SERVANT

An hour | before | I came,| the duch|ess died.
DUKE OF YORK

Heaven for | his mer|cy, what | a tide | of woes

Comes^rush|ing on | this woe|ful land | at once?

I know | not what | to do:| I would | to heaven

it)

The king | had cut | off my | head with my |
brother's.

If | I know || how, or | which^way | to ord|er

Never | believe | me. Both | are my / kinsmen,

Proportionable to the enemy, is all impossible.

GREEN

Besides | our near|ness to | the king | in love,

By so much fills | their hearts | with dead|ly
hate.
BUSHY

Wherein | the king | stands gene/rally |

If judg|ment lie | in them,| then so | do we,
