BUCKINGHAM

Will not | King Rich/ard let | me speak | with
him?
SHERIFF
,

No my | good* lord,| therefore | be pa|tient.
BUCKINGHAM

Hastings, and | Edward's | children,| Gray and
| Rivers,
, ,
, , ,
->
Holy | King^Hen|ry, and | thy fair |
son^Ed||ward,
, , ,
, ,
Vaugh|an, and | all that | have mis|carried
, ,
, , , ->
By und|erhand | corrupt|ed foul | injust||ice,

, , ,
,
If | that your moo|dy dis|content|ed souls,
,
, ,
, ,
Do through | the clouds | behold | this pres|ent
hour,
x
, ,
, ,
Even for | revenge | mock my | destruc|tion.

T T T 3 3 ,
This is All-|Souls' day (fel|low) is it not?
SHERIFF

It is.
BUCKINGHAM

T T T 2
, , ->
Why then | All-Souls' day,| is my bo|dy's
dooms||day*.
, 2
, ,
, ,
This | is the day,| which in | King^Ed|ward's
time
,
, ,
, ,
I wished | might fall | on me,| when I | was
found
,
, ,
, ,
False to | his child|ren, and | his wife's |
allies,
,
, , ,
,
This is | the day,| wherein | I wished | to fall
2 , ,
, ,
,
By the false | faith of | him whom | I most |
trusted.
,
T T T 2
, ,
This, this | All-Souls' day | to my fear|ful
soul,
, ,
, ,
,
Is the | deter|mined res|pite of | my wrongs:
, T Tx
T , ,
That high | All-Seer, which | I dal|lied with,
,
, ,
, ,
Hath turned | my feign|ed pray|er on | my head,
x , , ,
,
And given | in earn|est, what | I begged | in
jest.
,
, , ,
,
Thus doth | he force | the swords | of wick|ed
men
, ,
, 2 ,
,
To turn | their own | points on their | masters'|
bosoms.

, , ,
,
Now Marg|aret's curse | falls hea/vy on | my
neck:
,
, , ,
x
When he |(quoth^she)| shall split | thy heart | with
sorrow,
, , 2 , , ,
Remem|ber Marg|aret was | a proph|etess:
, ,
, 2 ,
,
Come^lead | me^of|ficers | to the block | of shame,
,
, , ,
,
Wrong hath | but wrong,| and blame | the due | of
blame.
