Yea at all points, and longs to enter in I brought high Herford, if you call him so, But to the next high way, and there I left him. Faith none for me, except the North ast wind, Which then blue bitterly against our face , Awak , the sleeping rhewme, and so by chance Did grace our hollow pa ting with a tear. Farewell, & for my heart disdained that my tongue Should so profane the word that taught me craft, To counterfeit oppression of such grief, That words seemed buried in my sorrows graven: Marry would the word Farewell have g that ed hours, And added years to his short banishment, He should have had a volume of farewells: But since it would not, he had none of me. Yea my Lord, How brooks your Grace the air After your late tossing on the breaking seas? He means my Lo: that we are too remiss, While Bulling brook through our security, Grows strong and great in substance and in power. Comfort my lieg , why loo S your grace so pale. Comfort my liege remember who you are. Is Bushy, and the Earl of Wiltshire dead. Where is the Duke my father with his power My father hath a power, inquire of him, And learn to make a body of a limb. My Liege, one word. No good my Lo: lets fight with gentle words, Till time lend friends, and friends their helpful sword Northumberland comes back from Bullingbrook Princes and noble Lords, What answer shall I make to this base man? Shall I so much dishonour my fair stars On equal terms to give them chastisement? Either I must, or have mine honour soiled With the attainder of his slanderous lips. The is my gage, the manual seal of death, That ma kes thee out for hell, I say thou liest, And will maintain what thou hast said is false In thy heart blood, though being all too base To stain the temper of my knightly sword. Excepting one, I would he were the best In all this presence that hath moude me so. Thou darest not (coward) live to see that day. Fitzwaters, thou art damned to hell for this. And if I do not, may my hands rot off, And never brandish more revengeful steel Over the glittering helmet of my foe. Who sets me else? by heaven I'll throw at all, I have a thousand spirits in one breast, To answer twenty thousand such as you. Some honest Christian trust me with a gage, That Norfolk lies, here do I throw down this, If he may be repealed to try his honour. You holy Clergy men, is there no plot, To rid the realm of this pernicious blot? For aught I know (my Lord) they do. If God prevent not. I purpose so. My Lord, 'tis nothing. I do beseech your grace to pardon me; It is a matter of small consequence, Which for some reasons I would not have seen. I do beseech you pardon me, I may not show it. Where is the King? For e er m y my knees grow to the earth, My tongue, cleave to my roo fe within my mou h, Unless a pardon ere I rise or speak. Then give me leave that May turn the key, That no man enter till my tale be done. Stay thy revengeful hand, thou hast no cause to fear remember as thou readest, thy promise passed, I do repent me, read not my name there, My heart is not confederate with my hand. Unto my mother's prayers I bend my knee. Why then the Champions are prepared and stay For nothing but his majesty's approach. Cousin fare well, what presence must not know, From where you do remain let paper show. Madam, I know not, nor I greatly care not, God knows I had as leife be none as one. Good mother be content, it is no more Then my poor life must answer. God save your grace, I do beseech your Majesty, To have some conference with your grace alone.
