[Enter TYRREL]
TYRREL
, , ,
, ,
The tyr|annous | and bloo|dy act | is done,
. T T
T
, 2 , ,
The most arch deed | of pit|eous mas|sacre
, ,
, , ,
That ev|er yet | this land | was guil|ty of:
,
, , ,
,
Dighton | and For|rest, whom | I did | suborn
, ,
, , ,
To do | this piece | of ruth|ful butch|ery,
x
, , ,
,
Albeit | they were / fleshed vil|lains, bloo|dy
dogs,
, 2 ,
, , ,
Melted with | tender|ness, and | mild
comp|assion,
,
, 2
, , ,
Wept^like | to child|ren, in their / deaths' sad
| story.
, ,
, , ,
O thus |(quoth^Dight|on) lay | those gent|le
babes:
T T
T ,
, 2 ,
2->
Thus, thus, (quoth | Forrest)| girdling | one anoth||er
, , ,
, 2 ,
Within | their al|abast|er in|nocent arms:
, ,
, , ,
Their lips | were four | red ros/es on | a stalk,
, 2
, ,
, ,
And in their | summer | beauty | kissed each |
other.
, ,
, , ,
A book | of pray|ers on | their pil|low lay,
, ,
, ,
,
Which^once |(quoth^For|rest) al|most changed | my mind:
,
, , ,
,
But oh | the dev|il, there | the vil|lain
stopped:
,
, , ,
,
When Dight|on thus | told^on,| we smoth|ered
,
, , ,
,
The most | replen|ished sweet | work of | nature,
, ,
, , ,
That from | the prime | creat|ion ere | she
framed.
, ,
, , ,
Hence^both | are gone | with con|science and | remorse,
, , , ,
,
They could | not^speak,| and so | I left | them
both,
, ,
, ,
,
To bear | this tid|ings to | the bloo|dy king.
,
, , ,
,
And here | he comes.| All health | my sove|reign
lord.
KING RICHARD III
, ,
, , ,
Kind Tyr/rel, am | I hap|py in | thy news.
TYRREL
, ,
, ,

If to | have done | the thing | you gave | in charge,
, ,
, ,
,
Beget | your hap|piness,| be hap|py then,
, ,
For it | is done.
KING RICHARD III

But didst | thou see | them dead.
TYRREL
,
,
I did | my lord.
KING RICHARD III

, 2->
And bur|ied gent|le Tyr||rel.
TYRREL
, ,
x ,
,
The chap|lain of | the Tower | hath bur|ied them,
, ,
, ,
,
But where |(to say | the truth)| I do | not know.
KING RICHARD III
, 2
, ,
, ,
Come to me | Tyrrel | soon, and | after | supper,
, ,
, , ,
When thou | shalt tell | the pro|cess of | their
death.
, ,
, , ,
Meantime,| but think | how I | may do | the good,
, ,
, ,
,
And be | inher|itor | of thy | desire.
, ,
Farewell | till then.
TYRREL
, ,
,
I hum|bly take | my leave.
RICHARD
, ,
, ,
,
The son | of Clar|ence have | I pent | up close,
,
, , , ,
,
His daught|er mean|ly have | I matched | in mar|riage,
, ,
, , ,
,
The sons | of Ed|ward sleep | in Ab|raham's |
bosom, (hex with prev)
, ,
, , ,
And Anne | my wife | hath bid | the world | good^night.

Now for | I know | the Bret|on Rich|mond aims
,

To her | go I,| a jol|ly thriv|ing wooer.

Good or bad news,| that thou comst | in so blunt||ly?
RATCLIFF

Bad^news | my lord,| Morton is | fled to
| Richmond,
, ,
, 2 ,
,
And Buck|ingham | backed with the | hardy |
Welshmen
,
, , x
, ->
Is in | the field,| and still | his power |
increas||eth.
KING RICHARD III
, 2 ,
,
, ,
El|y with Rich|mond troub|les me / more near,
,
, , ,
,
Than Buck|ingham | and his / rash-lev|ied
strength.
,
, ,
, ,
Come, I | have learned,| that fear|ful
com|menting
,
, ,
, ,
Is lead|en serv|itor | to dull | delay.
. T T T 2

Delay leads imp|otent and / snail-paced | beggary:
, ,
, ,
,
Then fi|ery ex|pedi|tion be | my wing,
, ,

Jove's Mer/cury,| and her|ald for | a king:
,

Go must|er men:| my couns|el is | my shield,

We must | be brief,| when trait|ors brave | the
field.
