to his regiment。 I'll strive with troubled thoughts to take a nap； Lest leaden
slumber peise me down to…morrow When I should mount with wings of
victory。 Once more； good night； kind lords and gentlemen。 Exeunt all but
RICHMOND O Thou； whose captain I account myself； Look on my forces
with a gracious eye； Put in their hands Thy bruising irons of wrath； That
they may crush down with a heavy fall The usurping helmets of our
adversaries！ Make us Thy ministers of chastisement； That we may praise
Thee in the victory！ To Thee I do commend my watchful soul Ere I let fall
the windows of mine eyes。 Sleeping and waking； O； defend me still！
＇Sleeps＇
Enter the GHOST Of YOUNG PRINCE EDWARD； son to HENRY
THE SIXTH
GHOST。 ＇To RICHARD＇ Let me sit heavy on thy soul to…morrow！
Think how thou stabb'dst me in my prime of youth At Tewksbury； despair；
therefore； and die！ ＇To RICHMOND＇ Be cheerful； Richmond； for the
wronged souls Of butcher'd princes fight in thy behalf。 King Henry's issue；
Richmond； comforts thee。 Enter the GHOST of HENRY THE SIXTH
GHOST。 ＇To RICHARD＇ When I was mortal； my anointed body By
thee was punched full of deadly holes。 Think on the Tower and me。
Despair； and die。 Harry the Sixth bids thee despair and die。 ＇To
RICHMOND＇ Virtuous and holy； be thou conqueror！ Harry； that

prophesied thou shouldst be King； Doth comfort thee in thy sleep。 Live
and flourish！
Enter the GHOST of CLARENCE
GHOST。 ＇To RICHARD＇ Let me sit heavy in thy soul to…morrow！ I
that was wash'd to death with fulsome wine； Poor Clarence； by thy guile
betray'd to death！ To…morrow in the battle think on me； And fall thy
edgeless sword。 Despair and die！ ＇To RICHMOND＇ Thou offspring of the
house of Lancaster； The wronged heirs of York do pray for thee。 Good
angels guard thy battle！ Live and flourish！
Enter the GHOSTS of RIVERS； GREY； and VAUGHAN
GHOST OF RIVERS。 ＇To RICHARD＇ Let me sit heavy in thy soul
to…morrow； Rivers that died at Pomfret！ Despair and die！ GHOST OF
GREY。 ＇To RICHARD＇ Think upon Grey； and let thy soul despair！
GHOST OF VAUGHAN。 ＇To RICHARD＇ Think upon Vaughan； and with
guilty fear Let fall thy lance。 Despair and die！ ALL。 ＇To RICHMOND＇
Awake； and think our wrongs in Richard's bosom Will conquer him。
Awake and win the day。
Enter the GHOST of HASTINGS
GHOST。 ＇To RICHARD＇ Bloody and guilty； guiltily awake； And in a
bloody battle end thy days！ Think on Lord Hastings。 Despair and die。 ＇To
RICHMOND＇ Quiet untroubled soul； awake； awake！ Arm； fight； and
conquer； for fair England's sake！
Enter the GHOSTS of the two young PRINCES
GHOSTS。 ＇To RICHARD＇ Dream on thy cousins smothered in the
Tower。 Let us be lead within thy bosom； Richard； And weigh thee down to
ruin； shame； and death！ Thy nephews' souls bid thee despair and die。 ＇To
RICHMOND＇ Sleep； Richmond； sleep in peace； and wake in joy； Good
angels guard thee from the boar's annoy！ Live； and beget a happy race of
kings！ Edward's unhappy sons do bid thee flourish。
Enter the GHOST of LADY ANNE； his wife
GHOST。 ＇To RICHARD＇ Richard； thy wife； that wretched Anne thy
wife That never slept a quiet hour with thee Now fills thy sleep with
perturbations。 To…morrow in the battle think on me； And fall thy edgeless
sword。 Despair and die。 ＇To RICHMOND＇ Thou quiet soul； sleep thou a
92

KING RICHARD III
quiet sleep； Dream of success and happy victory。 Thy adversary's wife
doth pray for thee。
Enter the GHOST of BUCKINGHAM
GHOST。 ＇To RICHARD＇ The first was I that help'd thee to the crown；
The last was I that felt thy tyranny。 O； in the battle think on Buckingham；
And die in terror of thy guiltiness！ Dream on； dream on of bloody deeds
and death； Fainting； despair； despairing； yield thy breath！ ＇To
RICHMOND＇ I died for hope ere I could lend thee aid； But cheer thy heart
and be thou not dismay'd： God and good angels fight on Richmond's side；
And Richard falls in height of all his pride。 ＇The GHOSTS vanish。
RICHARD starts out of his dream＇ KING RICHARD。 Give me another
horse。 Bind up my wounds。 Have mercy； Jesu！ Soft！ I did but dream。 O
coward conscience； how dost thou afflict me！ The lights burn blue。 It is
now dead midnight。 Cold fearful drops stand on my trembling flesh。 What
do I fear？ Myself？ There's none else by。 Richard loves Richard； that is； I
am I。 Is there a murderer here？ No…yes； I am。 Then fly。 What； from myself？
Great reason why… Lest I revenge。 What； myself upon myself！ Alack； I
love myself。 Wherefore？ For any good That I myself have done unto
myself？ O； no！ Alas； I rather hate myself For hateful deeds committed by
myself！ I am a villain； yet I lie； I am not。 Fool； of thyself speak well。 Fool；
do not flatter。 My conscience hath a thousand several tongues； And every
tongue brings in a several tale； And every tale condemns me for a villain。
Perjury； perjury； in the high'st degree； Murder； stern murder； in the dir'st
degree； All several sins； all us'd in each degree； Throng to the bar； crying
all 'Guilty！ guilty！' I shall despair。 There is no creature loves me； And if I
die no soul will pity me： And wherefore should they； since that I myself
Find in myself no pity to myself？ Methought the souls of all that I had
murder'd Came to my tent； and every one did threat To…morrow's
vengeance on the head of Richard。
Enter RATCLIFF
RATCLIFF。 My lord！ KING RICHARD。 Zounds； who is there？
RATCLIFF。 Ratcliff； my lord； 'tis I。 The early village…cock Hath twice
done salutation to the morn； Your friends are up and buckle on their
armour。 KING RICHARD。 O Ratcliff； I have dream'd a fearful dream！

KING RICHARD III
What think'st thou…will our friends prove all true？ RATCLIFF。 No doubt；
my lord。 KING RICHARD。 O Ratcliff； I fear； I fear。 RATCLIFF。 Nay；
good my lord； be not afraid of shadows。 KING RICHARD By the apostle
Paul； shadows to…night Have stuck more terror to the soul of Richard Than
can the substance of ten thousand soldiers Armed in proof and led by
shallow Richmond。 'Tis not yet near day。 Come； go with me； Under our
tents I'll play the eaves…dropper； To see if any mean to shrink from me。
Exeunt
Enter the LORDS to RICHMOND sitting in his tent
LORDS。 Good morrow； Richmond！ RICHMOND。 Cry mercy； lords
and watchful gentlemen； That you have ta'en a tardy sluggard here。
LORDS。 How have you slept； my lord？ RICHMOND。 The sweetest sleep
and fairest…boding dreams That ever ent'red in a drowsy head Have I since
your departure had； my lords。 Methought their souls whose bodies Richard
murder'd Came to my tent and cried on victory。 I promise you my soul is
very jocund In the remembrance of so fair a dream。 How far into the
morning is it； lords？ LORDS。 Upon the stroke of four。 RICHMOND。 Why；
then 'tis time to arm and give direction。
His ORATION to his SOLDIERS
More than I have said； loving countrymen； The leisure and
enforcement of the time Forbids to dwell upon； yet remember this： God
and our good cause fight upon our side； The prayers of holy saints and
wronged souls； Like high…rear'd bulwarks； stand before our faces； Richard
except； those whom we fight against Had rather have us win than him they
follow。 For what is he they follow？ Truly； gentlemen； A bloody tyrant and
a homicide； One rais'd in blood； and one in blood establish'd； One that
made means to come by what he hath； And slaughtered those that were the
means to help him； A base foul stone； made precious by the foil Of
England's chair； where he is falsely set； One that hath ever been God's
