16071612Against thy entrance.

16081613Bull. Royally, why it containes no King.

16091614H.Per. Yes (my good Lord,)

16101615It doth containe a King, King Richard lies

16111616Within the limites of yon lime and stone,

16121617And with him are the Lord Aumerle, Lord Salisbury,

16131618Sir Stephen Scroope, besides a cleargie man

16141619Of holy reuerence, who I cannot learne.

16151620North. Oh belike it is the bishop of Carleil.

16161621Bull. Noble Lords,

16171622Go to the rude ribbes of that ancient Castle,

16181623Through brazen trumpet send the breath of parlee

16191624Into his ruinde eares, and thus deliuer.

16201625H. Bull. on both his knees doth kisse king Richards hand,

16211626And sends allegeance and true faith of heart

16221627To his most royall person: hither come

16231628Euen at his feete to lay my armes and power:

16241629Prouided, that my banishment repeald,

16251630And lands restored againe be freely granted;

16261631If not, Ile vse the aduantage of my power,

16271632And lay the summers dust with showres of bloud,

16281633Rainde from the wounds of slaughtered English men,

16291634The which, how farre off from the minde of Bulling.

16301635It is, such crimson tempest should bedrench

16311636The fresh greene lap of faire King Richards land:

16321637My stooping duety tenderly shall shew:

16331638Go signifie as much while here we march

16341639Vpon the grassie carpet of this plaine;

16351640Lets march without the noyse of threatning drumme,

16361641That from this Castels tottered battlements

16371642Our faire appointments may be well perusde.

16381643Me thinkes King Richard and my selfe should meete

16391644With no lesse terrour than the elements

16401645Of fire and water, when their thundring shocke

16411646At meeting teares the cloudie cheekes of heauen.

16421647Be he the fire, Ile be the yeelding water;

16431648The rage be his, whilst on the earth I raigne.
