King Richard the second.
1075All is vneuen, and euery thing is left at sixe and seauen.
 Exeunt Duke, Qu man. Bush. Green.
¶Bush. The winde sits faire for newes to go for Ireland,
¶But none returnes. For vs to leuie power
¶Proportionable to the enemy is all vnpossible.
¶Gree. Besides our neerenes to the King in loue,
1080Is neare the hate of those loue not the King.
¶Bag. And that is the wauering commons, for their loue
