20202016Bull. Why B. is Norffolke dead?

20212017Carl. As surely as I liue my Lord.

20222018Bull. Sweet peace conduct his sweete soule to the bosome,

20232019Of good olde Abraham: Lords Appellants,

20242020Your differences shall all rest vnder gage,

20252021Till we assigne you to your daies of triall. Enter Yorke

20272022Yorke Great Duke of Lancaster I come to thee,

20282023From plume-pluckt Richard, who with willing soule,

20292024Adopts the heire, and his high scepter yeeldes,

20302025To the possession of thy royaIl hand:

20312026Ascend his throne, descending now from him,

20322027And long liue Henry fourth of that name.

20332028Bull. In Gods name Ile ascend the regall throne.

20342029Car. Mary God forbid.

20352030Worst in this royall presence may I speake.

20362031Yet best beseeming me to speake the truth,

20372032Would God that any in this noble presence,

20382033Were enough noble to be vpright iudge

20392034Of noble Richard. Then true noblesse would

20402035Learne him forbearance from so foule a wrong,

20412036What subiect can giue sentence on his King:

20422037And who sits here that is not Richards subiect?

20432038Theeues are not iudgd but they are by to heare,

20442039Although apparant guilt be seene in them,

20452040And shall the figure of Gods Maiesty,

20462041His Captaine, steward, deputy, elect,

20472042Annointed, crowned, planted, many yeares

20482043Be iudgd by subiect and infetiour breath,

20492044And he himselfe not present? Oh forfend it God,

20502045That in a Christian climate soules refinde,

20512046Should shew so heinous blacke obsceene a deed

20522047I speake to subiects and a subiect speakes,

20532048Stird vp by God thus boldly for his King,

20542049My Lord of Hereford here whom you call King,

20552050Is a foule traitour to proud Herefords King,

20562051And if you crowne him let me prophesie,

20572052The bloud of English shall manure the ground,

20582053And future ages groane for this foule act,
