Lo h S is all: nay yet depart not so, Though this be all, do not so quickly go: I shall remember more: Bid him, ah what?

Full speech
Finds brotherhood in thee no sharper spur? Hath love in thy old blood no Irving fire? Edwards seven sons whereof thy self art one. Were as seven viols of his sacred blood, Or seven fair branches springing from one root Some of those seven are dried by nature's course, Some of those branches by the Destinies cut: But Thomas my deer Lord, my life, my Gloucester. One viol full of Edwards sacred blood, One flourishing branch of his most royal root Is cracked, and all the precious liquour spilled, Is hacked down, and his summer leaves all faded By Envies hand, and Murders bloody axe. Ah Gaunt, his blood was thine, that bed, that womb That mettle, that self mould, that fashioned thee Made him a man: and though thou livest and breathest, Yet art thou slain in him, thou dost consent In some large measure to thy father's death, In hat thou seest thy wretched brother die, Who was the model of thy father's life: Call it not patience Gaunt, it is despair, In suffr ng thus thy brother to be slaughtered, Thou she west the naked path way to thy life, Teaching stern Murder how to butcher thee: That which in mean men we entitle Patience, Is pale cold Coward e in noble breasts. What shall I say? to safeguard thine own life, The best way is to venge my Gloucesters death. Where then alas may I complain my self? Why then I will; fare well old Gaunt, Thou goest to Coventry, there to behold Our Cousin Hereford and fell Mowbray fight, Oh set my husbands wrongs on Herefords spear, That it may enter butcher Mowbray's breast: Or if misfortune miss the Can jer, Be Mowbra es sins so in his bosom That they may break his coursers back, And throw the rider headlong lists, A caitiff recreant to my Counterfeit en He eford, Farewell old Gaunt, thy some times brother's wife, W that her companion Grief must end her life. Yet ne word over, grie e bounds where is fa , Not with the emp j hollowness, but weigh : I take my leave before I have begone, For sorrow ends not when it seems done: Commend me to thy brother Edmund York, Lo h S is all: nay yet depart not so, Though this be all, do not so quickly go: I shall remember more: Bid him, ah what? W h all good speed at Plashy visit me, Alack and what shall good old York there see, But empty lodgings and unfurnished walls, Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones, And what hear there for welcome but my groans? Therefore commend me, let him not come there, To seek out sorrow that dwells every where, Desolate desolate will I hence and die: The last leave of thee takes my weeping eye.
