More health and happiness betide my lieg , Then can my care tunde tongue deliver him. Glad am I, that your highness is so armed, To bear the tidings of calamity, Like and unseasonable stormy day, Which makes the silver rivers drown their shores, As if the world were all dissolude to tears: So high above his limits swells the rage Of Bullingbrook covering your fearful land, With hard bright steel, and hearts harder then steel, White beards have armed their thin and haireles scalps Against thy majesty: boys with women's voices, Strive to speak big and clap their joints, In stiff unwieldy arms against thy crown, Thy very beadsmen learn to bend their bows, Of double fatal ewe against thy state. Yea dist ffe women manage rusty bills Against thy seat, both young and old rebel, And all goes worse then I have power to tell. Peace have they made with him indeed my Lord. Sweet love I see changing his prope ty, Turns to the sourest and most deadly hate, Again, uncurse their souls, their peace is made With heads and not with hands, those whom you curse Have felt the worst of death's destroying wound, And lie full low graved in the hollow ground. I all of them at Bristol lost their heads. Men judge by the complexion of the sky, The state and inclination of the day; So may you by my dull and heavy e e: My tongue hath but a heavier tale to ay, I play the tortutrer by small and small To lengthen out the worst that must be spoken: Your uncle York is joined with Bullingbrook, And all your Northern castles yielded up, And all your Southern Gentlemen in arms Upon his party.
