KING RICHARD THE SECOND
say this is no month to bleed。 Good uncle�察 �let this end where it begun�察�
We'll calm the Duke of Norfolk�察�you your son。 GAUNT。 To be a make´
peace shall become my age。 Throw down�察�my son�察�the Duke of Norfolk's
gage。 KING RICHARD。 And�察�Norfolk�察�throw down his。 GAUNT。 When�察�
Harry�察�when�拭�Obedience bids I should not bid again。 KING RICHARD。
Norfolk�察 �throw down�察 �we bid。 There is no boot。 MOWBRAY。 Myself I
throw�察�dread sovereign�察�at thy foot�察�My life thou shalt command�察�but not
my shame�此�The one my duty owes�察�but my fair name�察 �Despite of death�察�
that lives upon my grave To dark dishonour's use thou shalt not have。 I am
disgrac'd�察 �impeach'd�察 �and baffl'd here�察 �Pierc'd to the soul with slander's
venom'd spear�察 �The which no balm can cure but his heart´blood Which
breath'd this poison。 KING RICHARD。 Rage must be withstood�此�Give me
his gage´lions make leopards tame。 MOWBRAY。 Yea�察�but not change his
spots。 Take but my shame�察�And I resign my gage。 My dear dear lord�察�The
purest treasure mortal times afford Is spotless reputation�察�that away�察�Men
are but gilded loam or painted clay。 A jewel in a ten´times barr'd´up chest
Is a bold spirit in a loyal breast。 Mine honour is my life�察�both grow in one�察�
Take honour from me�察 �and my life is done�此 �Then�察 �dear my liege�察 �mine
honour let me try�察�In that I live�察�and for that will I die。 KING RICHARD。
Cousin�察 �throw up your gage�察 �do you begin。 BOLINGBROKE。 O�察 �God
defend my soul from such deep sin� �Shall I seem crest´fallen in my father's
sight�拭 �Or with pale beggar´fear impeach my height Before this outdar'd
dastard�拭�Ere my tongue Shall wound my honour with such feeble wrong
Or sound so base a parle�察 �my teeth shall tear The slavish motive of
recanting fear�察�And spit it bleeding in his high disgrace�察�Where shame doth
harbour�察 �even in Mowbray's face。 Exit GAUNT KING RICHARD。 We
were not born to sue�察�but to command�察�Which since we cannot do to make
you friends�察 �Be ready�察 �as your lives shall answer it�察�At Coventry�察 �upon
Saint Lambert's day。 There shall your swords and lances arbitrate The
swelling difference of your settled hate�察�Since we can not atone you�察�we
shall see Justice design the victor's chivalry。 Lord Marshal�察�command our
officers´at´arms Be ready to direct these home alarms。 Exeunt

SCENE 2。 London。 The DUKE OF LANCASTER'S
palace
Enter JOHN OF GAUNT with the DUCHESS OF GLOUCESTER
GAUNT。 Alas�察�the part I had in Woodstock's blood Doth more solicit
me than your exclaims To stir against the butchers of his life� �But since
correction lieth in those hands Which made the fault that we cannot
correct�察�Put we our quarrel to the will of heaven�察�Who�察�when they see the
hours ripe on earth�察 �Will rain hot vengeance on offenders' heads。
DUCHESS。 Finds brotherhood in thee no sharper spur�拭�Hath love in thy
old blood no living fire�拭 �Edward's seven sons�察 �whereof thyself art one�察�
Were as seven vials of his sacred blood�察�Or seven fair branches springing
from one root。 Some of those seven are dried by nature's course�察�Some of
those branches by the Destinies cut�察�But Thomas�察�my dear lord�察�my life�察�
my Gloucester�察 �One vial full of Edward's sacred blood�察 �One flourishing
branch of his most royal root�察�Is crack'd�察�and all the precious liquor spilt�察�
Is hack'd down�察 �and his summer leaves all faded�察 �By envy's hand and
murder's bloody axe。 Ah�察�Gaunt�察�his blood was thine� �That bed�察�that womb�察�
That mettle�察 �that self mould�察 �that fashion'd thee�察 �Made him a man�察 �and
though thou livest and breathest�察 �Yet art thou slain in him。 Thou dost
consent In some large measure to thy father's death In that thou seest thy
wretched brother die�察�Who was the model of thy father's life。 Call it not
patience�察�Gaunt´it is despair�察�In suff'ring thus thy brother to be slaught'red�察�
Thou showest the naked pathway to thy life�察�Teaching stern murder how to
butcher thee。 That which in mean men we entitle patience Is pale cold
cowardice in noble breasts。 What shall I say�拭�To safeguard thine own life
The best way is to venge my Gloucester's death。 GAUNT。 God's is the
quarrel�察�for God's substitute�察�His deputy anointed in His sight�察�Hath caus'd
his death�察�the which if wrongfully�察�Let heaven revenge�察�for I may never lift
An angry arm against His minister。 DUCHESS。 Where then�察�alas�察�may I
complain myself�拭�GAUNT。 To God�察�the widow's champion and defence。
DUCHESS。 Why then�察 �I will。 Farewell�察 �old Gaunt。 Thou goest to
Coventry�察�there to behold Our cousin Hereford and fell Mowbray fight。 O�察�

sit my husband's wrongs on Hereford's spear�察 �That it may enter butcher
Mowbray's breast� �Or�察�if misfortune miss the first career�察�Be Mowbray's
sins so heavy in his bosom That they may break his foaming courser's
back And throw the rider headlong in the lists�察�A caitiff recreant to my
cousin Hereford� �Farewell�察�old Gaunt�察�thy sometimes brother's wife�察�With
her companion�察�Grief�察�must end her life。 GAUNT。 Sister�察�farewell�察�I must
to Coventry。 As much good stay with thee as go with me� �DUCHESS。 Yet
one word more´ grief boundeth where it falls�察 �Not with the empty
hollowness�察�but weight。 I take my leave before I have begun�察�For sorrow
ends not when it seemeth done。 Commend me to thy brother�察 �Edmund
York。 Lo�察�this is all´ nay�察�yet depart not so�察�Though this be all�察�do not so
quickly go�察 �I shall remember more。 Bid him´ ah�察 �what�拭� With all good
speed at Plashy visit me。 Alack�察�and what shall good old York there see
But empty lodgings and unfurnish'd walls�察�Unpeopled offices�察�untrodden
stones�拭 �And what hear there for welcome but my groans�拭 �Therefore
commend me�察�let him not come there To seek out sorrow that dwells every
where。 Desolate�察�desolate�察�will I hence and die�察�The last leave of thee takes
my weeping eye。 Exeunt
