stayed ten dayes,
12861298And hardly kept our countrymen together,
12871299And yet we heare no tidings from the King,
12881300Therefore we will di

selues, farewell.
12891301Salis. Stay yet another day, thou tru
stie Welchman,
12901302The King repo
seth all his con
fidence in thee.
12911303Welch. Tis thought the King is dead; we wil not
stay,
12921304The bay trees in our country are al witherd,
12931305And Meteors fright the
fixed
starres of heauen,
12941306The pale-facde moone lookes bloudie on the earth,
12951307And leane-lookt prophets whi
sper fearefull change,
12961308Rich men looke
sad, and ru
ffians daunce and leape,
12971309The one in feare to loo
se what they enioy,
12981310The other to enioy by rage and warre:
12991311The
se
signes forerunne the death or fall of Kings.
13001312Farewell, our countrymen are gone and
fled,
13011313As well a
ssured Richard their King is dead.
13021314Salis. Ah Richard! with the eies of heauy mind
13031315I
see thy glory like a
shooting
starre
13041316Fall to the ba
se earth from the
firmament,
13051317Thy
sunne
sets weeping in the lowly we
st,
13061318Witne
ssing
stormes to come, wo, and vnre
st,
13071319Thy friends are
fled to wait vpon thy foes,
13081320And cro
sly to thy good all fortune goes.
