324319Both who he is, and why he commeth hither,

325320Thus plated in habiliments of warre,

326321And formally according to our lawe,

327322Depose him in the iustice of his cause.

328323Mar. What is thy name? and wherfore comst thou hither?

329324Before king Richard in his royall lists,

330325Against whom comes thou? and whats thy quarrell?

331326Speake like a true Knight, so defend thee heauen.

332327Bul. Harry of Herford, Lancaster and Darbie

333328Am I, who ready here do stand in Armes

334329To proue by Gods grace, and my bodies valour

335330In lists, on Thomas Mowbray Duke of Norffolke,

336331That he is a traitour foule and dangerous,

337332To God of heauen, king Richard and to me:

338333And as I truely fight, defend me heauen.

339334Mar. On paine of death, no person be so bold,

340335Or daring, hardy, as to touch the listes,

341336Except the Martiall and such officers

342337Appoynted to direct these faire designes.

343338Bul. Lord Martiall, let me kisse my Souereignes hand,

344339And bow my knee before his Maiestie,

345340For Mowbray and my selfe are like two men,

346341That vow a long and wearie pilgrimage,

347342Then let vs take a ceremonious leaue,

348343And louing farewell of our seuerall friends.

349344Mar. The appellant in all duety greetes your Highnes,

350345And craues to kisse your hand, and take his leaue.

351346King We will descend and fold him in our armes,

352347Coosin of Herford, as thy cause is right,

353348So be thy fortune in this royall fight:

354349Farewell my bloud, which if to day thou shead,

355350Lament we may, but not reuenge the dead.

356351Bul. O let no noble eie prophane a teare

357352For me, if I be gorde with Mowbraies speare:

358353As confident as is the Falcons flight

359354Against a bird, do I with Mowbray fight.

360355My louing Lord, I take my leaue of you:
