Peer Reviewed
King Richard the second.
¶A deed of slaunder with thy fatall hand,
¶Vpon my head and all this famous Land.
¶Exton. From your owne mouth my Lo. did I this deed.
¶Nor do I thee; though I did wish him dead,
¶I hate the murtherer, loue him murthered:
¶The guilt of conscience take thou for thy labor,
¶But neither my good word, nor Princely fauour;
2840With Cayne go wander through shades of night,
¶Come mourne with me, for what I do lament,
2845And put on sulleyn blacke incontinent,
¶Ile make a voiage to the holly lande,
¶To wash this bloud off from my guiltie hand:
¶March sadly after, grace my mournings heere,
¶In weeping after this vntimely Beere.
2850
