at   length   have   gotten   leave   To   look   upon   my   sometimes   royal   master's 

face。   O;   how   it   ern'd   my   heart;   when   I   beheld;   In   London   streets;   that 

coronation…day; When Bolingbroke rode on roan Barbary… That horse that 

thou   so   often   hast   bestrid;   That   horse   that   I   so   carefully   have   dress'd! 

KING RICHARD。 Rode he on Barbary? Tell me; gentle friend; How went 

he under him? GROOM。 So proudly as if he disdain'd the ground。 KING 

RICHARD。 So proud that Bolingbroke was on his back! That jade hath eat 

bread from my royal hand; This hand hath made him proud with clapping 

him。   Would   he   not   stumble?   would   he   not   fall   down;   Since   pride   must 

have a fall; and break the neck Of that proud man that did usurp his back? 

Forgiveness; horse! Why do I rail on thee; Since thou; created to be aw'd 

by   man;   Wast   born   to   bear?   I   was   not   made   a   horse; And   yet   I   bear   a 

burden like an ass; Spurr'd; gall'd; and tir'd; by jauncing Bolingbroke。 

       Enter KEEPER with meat 

       KEEPER。        Fellow;    give    place;    here   is   no   longer    stay。   KING 

RICHARD。         If  thou   love   me;   'tis  time  thou   wert   away。    GROOM。        my 

tongue dares not; that   my heart   shall say。  Exit KEEPER。  My lord;  will't 



                                             69

please you to fall to? KING RICHARD。 Taste of it first as thou art wont to 

do。 KEEPER。 My lord; I dare not。 Sir Pierce of Exton; Who lately came 

from the King; commands the contrary。 KING RICHARD。 The devil take 

Henry of Lancaster and thee! Patience is stale; and I am weary of it。 'Beats 

the   KEEPER'   KEEPER。   Help;   help;   help!   The   murderers;   EXTON   and 

servants; rush in; armed KING RICHARD。 How now! What means death 

in this rude assault? Villain; thy own hand yields thy death's instrument。 

'Snatching a weapon and killing one' Go thou and fill another room in hell。 

'He kills another; then EXTON strikes him down' That hand shall burn in 

never…quenching fire That staggers thus my person。 Exton; thy fierce hand 

Hath with the King's blood stain'd the King's own land。 Mount; mount; my 

soul! thy seat is up on high; Whilst my gross flesh sinks downward; here 

to die。   'Dies'  EXTON。 As   full of   valour   as   of   royal   blood。  Both   have   I 

spill'd。 O; would the deed were good! For now the devil; that told me I did 

well; Says that this deed is chronicled in hell。 This dead King to the living 

King I'll bear。 Take hence the rest; and give them burial here。 Exeunt 



                                            70

                         SCENE 6。 Windsor Castle 



    Flourish。 Enter BOLINGBROKE;  the DUKE OF YORK; With   other 

LORDS and attendants 

       BOLINGBROKE。 Kind uncle York;  the latest news   we hear Is that 

the rebels have consum'd with fire Our town of Ciceter in Gloucestershire; 

But whether they be ta'en or slain we hear not。 

       Enter NORTHUMBERLAND 

       Welcome; my lord。 What is the news? NORTHUMBERLAND。 First; 

to thy sacred state wish I all happiness。 The next news is; I have to London 

sent The heads of Salisbury; Spencer; Blunt; and Kent。 The manner of their 

taking     may     appear     At    large    discoursed     in   this    paper    here。 

BOLINGBROKE。 We thank thee; gentle Percy; for thy pains; And to thy 

worth will add right worthy gains。 Enter FITZWATER 

       FITZWATER。   My   lord;   I   have   from   Oxford   sent   to   London   The 

heads   of   Brocas   and   Sir   Bennet   Seely;   Two   of   the   dangerous   consorted 

traitors That sought at Oxford thy dire overthrow。 BOLINGBROKE。 Thy 

pains; Fitzwater; shall not be forgot; Right noble is thy merit; well I wot。 

       Enter PERCY; With the BISHOP OF CARLISLE 

       PERCY。 The grand conspirator; Abbot of Westminster; With clog of 

conscience and sour melancholy; Hath yielded up his body to the grave; 

But here is Carlisle living; to abide Thy kingly doom; and sentence of his 

pride。   BOLINGBROKE。   Carlisle;   this   is   your   doom:   Choose   out   some 

secret place; some reverend room; More than thou hast; and with it joy thy 

life; So as thou liv'st in peace; die free from strife; For though mine enemy 

thou hast ever been; High sparks of honour in thee have I seen。 

       Enter EXTON; with attendants; hearing a coffin 

       EXTON。   Great   King;   within   this   coffin   I   present   Thy   buried   fear。 

Herein all breathless lies The mightiest of thy greatest enemies; Richard of 

Bordeaux;   by   me   hither   brought。   BOLINGBROKE。   Exton;   I   thank   thee 

not; for thou hast wrought A deed of slander with thy fatal hand Upon my 

head and all this famous land。 EXTON。 From your own mouth; my lord; 

did   I   this   deed。   BOLINGBROKE。   They   love   not   poison   that   do   poison 

need; Nor do I thee。 Though I did wish him dead; I hate the murderer; love 



                                          71

him   murdered。     The    guilt  of  conscience    take  thou   for  thy  labour;   But 

neither my good word nor princely favour; With Cain go wander thorough 

shades of night; And never show thy head by day nor light。 Lords; I protest 

my soul is full of woe That blood should sprinkle me to make me grow。 

Come;   mourn   with   me   for   what   I   do   lament;   And   put   on   sullen   black 

incontinent。 I'll make a voyage to the Holy Land; To wash this blood off 

from   my   guilty   hand。   March   sadly   after;   grace   my   mournings   here   In 

weeping after this untimely bier。 Exeunt 

     THE END 



                                           72
