HENRY BOLINGBROKE
T T
T o
Call forth Ba|got. \\
,
, , ,
oo
Now Ba|got, free|ly speak | thy mind,|
,
, ,
, ,
What thou | dost know | of nob|le Glouce|ster's
death:
, ,
, ,
,
Who wrought | it with | the king,| and who |
performed
, ,
, ,
,
The bloo|dy of|fice of | his time|less end.
BAGOT
, ,
, , ,
Then set | before | my face,| the Lord | Aumerle.
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
, T T

,
Cousin,| stand forth, and look | upon | that
man.
BAGOT
, ,
, ,
,
My Lord | Aumerle,| I know | your dar|ing tongue
, 2
, , ,
,
Scorns to un|say, what | once it | hath
de|livered.
2
, ,
, ,
,
In that dead | time, when | Gloucester's | death
was | plotted,
, , ,
, ,
I heard | you say,| Is not | my arm | of length,
, ,
, ,
,
That reach|eth from | the rest|ful Eng|lish court
,
, , , ,
As far | as Cal|ais, to | my^unc|le's head.
, ,
, , ,
Amongst | much^oth|er talk,| that ve|ry time,
, ,
, ,
2 ,
I heard | you say,| that you | had rath|er refuse
, ,
, ,
,
The of|fer of | a hund|red thous|and crowns,
, , ,
, ,
2 ,
Than Bol|ingbroke's | return | to Eng|land;
add|ing withal,
, ,
, ,
, ,
How blessed | this land | would be,| in this |
your cous|in's death. (hex with prev)
DUKE OF AUMERLE
,
, ,
Princes | and nob|le lords: \\
,
, ,
, ,
What ans|wer shall | I make | to this / base man?
, ,
, , ,
Shall I | so much | dishon|or my / fair stars,
,
, , ,
,
On e|qual terms | to give | him chas|tisement?
, ,
, ,
,
Either | I must,| or have | mine hon|or soiled
,
, ,
, 2 ,
With the | attaind|er of | his sland|erous lips.
,
, , 2
, ,
There is | my gage,| the man|ual seal | of death
, ,
, __ ___
That marks | thee out | for hell.| Thou | liest.
, ,
, ,
,
And will | maintain | what thou | hast said,| is
false,
, ,
, ,
,
In thy / heart-blood,| though be|ing all | too
base
, ,
, ,
,
To stain | the temp|er of | my knight|ly sword.
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
, ,
, ,
,
Bagot | forbear,| thou shalt | not take | it up.
DUKE OF AUMERLE
,
, , ,
,
Except|ing one,| I would | he were | the best
, ,
, ,
,
In all | this pres|ence, that | hath moved | me
so.
LORD FITZWATER
, , ,
, ,
If that | thy val|or stand | on sym|pathy:
, ,
, ,
,
There is / my gage,| Aumerle,| in gage | to
thine:
, ,
, , ,
By that | fair* sun,| which shows | me where |
thou standst,
, ,
, , x
I heard | thee say |(and vaunt|ingly | thou
spakst it)
, ,
, , ,
That thou | wert cause | of nob|le Glouce|ster's
death.
,
, ,
, x
If thou | denyst | it, twen|ty times | thou
liest.
, ,
, ,
,
And I | will turn | thy false|hood^to | thy
heart,
,
, ,
, 2 ,
Where it | was forg|ed with | my rap|ier's
point.
DUKE OF AUMERLE
, ,
, ,
,
Thou darst | not (cow|ard) live | to see | the
day.
LORD FITZWATER
, ,
, ,
,
Now* by | my soul,| I would | it were |
this^hour.
DUKE OF AUMERLE
, ,
, ,
,
Fitzwat/er thou | art damned | to hell | for
this.
HENRY PERCY
, x ,
, ,
Aumerle,| thou liest:| his hon|or is | as true
,
, ,
, ,
In this | appeal,| as thou | art all | unjust:
, ,
, ,
,
And that | thou art | so, there | I throw | my
gage
, ,
, 2 ,
,
To prove | it on | thee, to | the extre|mest
point
, , , ,
,
Of mort|al breath|ing. seize | it, if | thou
darst.
DUKE OF AUMERLE

, , T
T T
And if | I do not,| may my | hands rot off,
, ,
, ,
,
And nev|er brand|ish more | revenge|ful steel,
, ,
, ,
,
Over | the glit|tering hel|met of | my foe.
LORD
, , 2
, ,
,
I task | the earth | to the like,| forsworn |
Aumerle;
, , ,
, ,
And spur | thee on | with full | as ma|ny lies
, 2
, ,
, 2 ,
As may | be hollo|aed in | thy treach|erous ear
,
, ,
, ,
From sun | to sun:| there is | my hon|or's pawn,
,
, ,
, ,
Engage | it to | the tri|al, if | thou darst.
DUKE OF AUMERLE
, ,
x ,
,
Who sets | me else?| By heaven,| I'll throw | at
all:
, , ,
, ,
I have | a thous|and spir|its in / one breast,
,
, ,

To ans|wer twen|ty thous|and such | as you.
DUKE OF SURREY
. T T T
My Lord Fitzwat|er: \\
,
, ,

I do | remem|ber well,| the ver|y time
, ,
,
Aumerle,| and you | did talk.
LORD FITZWATER
, oo
My lord,|
, ,
, ,
,
'Tis ve|ry true:| you were | in pres|ence then,
,
, ,
, ,
And you | can wit|ness with | me, this | is true.
DUKE OF SURREY
, x
As false,| by heaven,
x ,
,
As heaven | itself | is
true.
LORD FITZWATER
, x
Surrey,| thou liest.
DUKE OF SURREY
, , ,
Dishon|ora|ble boy:
, ,
, ,
,
That lie,| shall lie | so hea|vy on | my sword,
, ,
, , ,
That it | shall rend|er venge|ance, and |
revenge,
,
, , 2 ,
,
Till thou | the lie-|giver,| and that lie,| do
lie
,
, , ,
,
In earth | as qui|et, as | thy fath|er's skull.
, ,
, ,
,
In proof | whereof,| there is | my hon|or's pawn,
, ,
, T T T
Engage | it to | the trial,| if thou darst.
LORD FITZWATER
, ,
, ,
,
How fond|ly dost | thou spur | a for|ward horse?
,
, ,
, ,
If I | dare^eat,| or drink,| or breathe,| or
live,
, ,
, ,
,
I dare | meet Sur/rey in | a wild|erness,
, ,

,
And spit | upon | him, whilst | I say | he lies,

, ,
,
And lies,| and lies:| there is | my bond | of
faith,

To tie | thee to | my strong | correc|tion.
, ,
, ,
,
As I | intend | to thrive | in this / new world,
, ,
, , ,
Aumerle | is guil|ty of | my true | appeal.
, ,
, ,

Besides,| I heard | the ban|ished Nor|folk say,

That thou | Aumerle | didst send | two of | thy
men,

To ex|ecute | the nob|le duke | at Cal||ais.

Against | Aumerle | we will | enforce | his
trial.

Great Duke of Lan|caster,| I come | to thee

Marry,| heaven | forbid. \\

Worst in | this roy|al pres|ence may | I speak,

Found truth in all, but one: I, in twelve
thousand, none. ????

That it | may show | me what | a face | I have,
,
, , ,
,
Since it | is bank|rupt of | his maj|esty.
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
, ,
, ,
,
Go some | of you,| and fetch | a look|ing-glass.
[Exit an attendant]
NORTHUMBERLAND
, ,
, , ,
Read ore | this pap|er, while | the glass | doth
come.
KING RICHARD II
,
, ,
, ,
Fiend, thou | tormentst | me, ere | I come | to
hell.
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
,
, ,
, ,
Urge it | no more,| my Lord | Northum|berland.
NORTHUMBERLAND
, ,
, ,
,
The com|mons will | not then | be sat|isfied.
KING RICHARD II
,
, , ,
,
They shall | be sat|isfied:| I'll read | enough,
,
, ,
, ,
When I | do see | the ve|ry book | indeed,
,
, , ,
,
Where all | my sins | are writ,| and that's |
myself.
[Enter Attendant, with a glass]
,
, ,
, ,
Give me | that glass,| and there|in will | I
read.
,
, , ,
,
No deep|er wrink|les yet?| Hath sor|row struck
, ,
, ,
,
So ma|ny blows | upon | this face | of mine,
,
, ,
, 2 ,
And made | no deep|er wounds?| O flat|tering
glass,
,
, , 2 ,
,
Like to | my fol|lowers | in prospe|rity,
,
, , ,
,
Thou dost | beguile | me. Was | this face,| the
face
, ,
, 2 T T T
That eve|ry day,| under his | household roof,
, ,
, , ,
Did keep | ten* thous|and men?| Was this | the
face,
, ,
, ,
,
That like | the sun,| did make | behold|ers wink?
, 2
, , ,
,
Is this the | face, which^|faced so | many |
follies,
, 2
T T T
, ,
And was at | last out-faced | by Bol|ingbroke?
, ,
, ,
,
A brit|tle glo|ry shin|eth in | this face,
,
, ,
, ,
As brit|tle as | the glo|ry, is | the face,
, ,
, 2 ,
,
For there | it is,| cracked in a | hundred |
shivers.
__ ,
, ,
2 ,
Mark | silent | king, the | moral | of this
sport,
,
, ,
, ,
How soon | my sor|row hath | destroyed | my face.
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
, ,
, ,
,
The shad|ow of | your sor|row hath | destroyed
, ,
,
The shad|ow of | your face.
KING RICHARD II
, ,
Say that | again.
, , ,
, ,
The shad|ow of | my sor|row: ha,| let's^see,
, ,
, ,
,
'Tis ve|ry true,| my grief | lies^all | within,
,
, ,
, ,
And these | extern|al man|ners of | laments,
, ,
, , ,
Are mere|ly shad|ows, to the // unseen grief,
,
, , , ,
That swells | with sil|ence in | the tort|ured
soul.
T T
. T ,
, ,
There lies the sub|stance: and | I thank | thee
king
, ,
, , ,
For thy / great boun|ty, that / not on|ly givst
, , ,
, ,
Me cause | to wail,| but teach|est me | the way
, 2 ,
, T T T
How to la|ment the | cause. I'll | beg one boon,
, ,
, ,
,
And then | be gone,| and troub|le you | no more.
, ,
Shall I | obtain | it?
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
, ,
,
Name | it, fair | cousin.
KING RICHARD II
, ,
, ,
,
Fair cous/in? I | am great|er than | a king:
,
, ,
, ,
For when | I was | a king,| my flat|terers
,
, , 2
, ,
Were then | but sub|jects; being | now a |
subject*,
, ,
, , ,
I have | a king | here to | my flat|terer:
, ,
, ,
,
Being | so great,| I have | no need | to beg.
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
,
Yet ask.
KING RICHARD II
, ,
And shall | I have?
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
, oo
You shall.|
KING RICHARD II
, ,
, oo
Then give | me leave | to go.|
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
,
Whither?
KING RICHARD II
,
, , , ,
Whither | you will,| so I | were from | your
sights.
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
,
, , ,
x
Go some | of you,| convey | him to | the Tower.
KING RICHARD II
, ,
, ,
,
Oh good:| convey:| convey|ers are | you all,
,
, , ,
,
That rise | thus nim|bly by a // true king's
fall.
[Exeunt KING RICHARD II, some Lords, and a Guard]
HENRY BOLINGBROKE
, ,
, , ,
On Wednes|day next,| we sol|emnly | set down
, ,
, , ,
Our cor|ona|tion: lords,| prepare | yourselves.
[Exeunt all except the BISHOP OF CARLISLE, the Abbot of Westminster, and
DUKE OF AUMERLE]
ABBOT
,
, ,
, ,
A woe|ful pag|eant have | we here | beheld.
BISHOP OF CARLISLE
, , ,
, ,
The woe's | to come,| the child|ren yet | unborn,
, ,
, ,
,
Shall feel | this day | as sharp | to them | as
thorn.
DUKE OF AUMERLE
, , ,
, ,
You ho|ly cler|gymen,| is there | no plot
, , ,
, ,
To rid | the realm | of this | perni|cious blot.
ABBOT
, ,
, , ,
Before | I free|ly speak | my mind | herein,
, ,
, ,
,
You shall | not on|ly take | the sac|rament,
, ,
, , 3 3 ,
To bu|ry mine^|intents,| but al|so to effect
, ,
, ,
,
Whatev|er I | shall hap|pen to | devise.
, ,
, ,
,
I see | your brows | are full | of dis|content,
,
, , ,
,
Your heart | of sor|row, and | your eyes | of tears.

Come* home | with me | to sup|per, I'll | lay a

T T T

Shall | show us all | a mer|ry day.
