The second part of Henry the fourth,
continuing to his death, and coro-
nation of Henry the
fift.
31Enter Rumour painted full of Tongues.
42OPen your eares; for which of you will
stop
53The vent of hearing, when lowd Rumor
speaks?
64I from the Orient to the drooping We
st,
75(Making the wind my po
ste-hor
se)
still vnfold
86The a
cts commenced on this ball of earth,
97Vpon my tongues continuall
slanders ride,
108The which in euery language I pronounce,
119Stu
ffing the eares of men with fal
se reports,
1210I
speake of peace while couert enmity,
1311Vnder the
smile of
safety, woundes the world:
1412And who but Rumor, who but onely I,
1513Make fearefull mu
sters, and prepar'd defence,
1614Whiles the bigge yeare,
swolne with
some other griefe,
1715Is thought with child by the
sterne tyrant Warre?
1816And no
such matter. Rumour is a pipe,
1917Blowne by
surmizes, Iealou
sies conie
ctures,
2018And of
so ea
sie, and
so plaine a
stop,
2119That the blunt mon
ster, with vncounted heads,
2220The
still di
scordant wau'ring multitude,
2321Can play vpon it. But what need I thus
2422(My wel knowne body) to anothomize
2523Among my hou
shold? why is Rumor here?
