808833The plate, coine, reuenewes, and moueables

809834Whereof our Vnckle Gaunt did stand possest.

810835Yorke How long shal I be patient? ah how long

811836Shall tender duty make me suffer wrong?

812837Not Glocesters death, nor Herefords banishment,

813838Nor Gauntes rebukes, nor Englands priuate wrongs,

814839Nor the preuention of poore Bullingbrooke,

815840About his mariadge, nor my owne disgrace,

816841Haue euer made me sower my patient cheeke,

817842Or bende one wrinckle on my soueraignes face:

818843I am the last of noble Edwards sonnes,

819844Of whom thy father Prince of Wales was first

820845In warre was neuer Lyon ragde more fierce,

821846In peace was neuer gentle lambe more milde,

822847Then was that young and princely Gentleman:

823848His face thou hast, for euen so lookt he,

824849Accomplisht with a number of thy howers;

825850But when he frowned it was against the french,

826851And not against his friends: his noble hand

827852Did win what he did spende, and spent not that

828853Which his triumphant fathers hand had wonne:

829854His hands were guilty of no kinred bloud,

830855But bloudie with the enemies of his kinne:

831856Oh Richard: Yorke is too far gone with griefe,

832857Or else he neuer would compare betweene.

833858King Why Vnckle whats the matter?

835859Yorke Oh my liege, pardone me if you please,

836860If not I pleasd not to be pardoned, am content with all,

837861Seeke you to seaze and gripe into your hands

838862The roialties and rights of banisht Hereford:

839863Is not Gaunt dead? and doth not Hereford liue?

840864Was not Gaunt iust? and is not Harrie true?

841865Did not the one deserue to haue an heire?

842866Is not his heire a well deseruing sonne?

843867Take Herefordes rightes away, and take from time

844868His charters, and his customarie rightes;

845869Let not to morrow then ensue to daie:

846870Be not thy selfe. For how ait thou a King
