22282009Laid open all your victories in Scotland:

22292010Your discipline in warre, wisedome in peace:

22302011Your bounty, vertue, faire humility:

22312012Indeede left nothing fitting for the purpose

22322013Vntoucht, or sleightly handled in discourse:

22332014And when mine oratory grew to an ende.

22342015I bid them that did loue their countries good,

22352016Crie, God saue Richard, Englands royall King.

22362017Glo. A and did they so?

22372018Buc. No so God helpe me,

22382019But like dumbe statues or breathing stones,

22392020Gazde each on other and lookt deadly pale:

22402021Which when I saw, I reprehended them,

22412022And askt the Maior, what meant this wilfull silence?

22422023His answere was, the people were not wont

22432024To be spoke to, but by the Recorder.

22442025Then he was vrgde to tell my tale againe:

22452026Thus, saith the Duke, thus hath the Duke inferd:

22462027But nothing spake in warrant from himselfe:

22472028When he had done, some followers of mine owne

22482029At the lower end of the Hall, hurld vp their caps,

22492030And some ten voices cried, God saue King Richard.

22512031Thankes louing Cittizens and friends quoth I,

22522032This generall applause and louing shoute,

22532033Argues your wisedomes and your loue to Richard:

22542034And so brake off and came away.

22552035Glo. What tonglesse blockes were they, would they not (speake?

2255.12036Buc. No by my troth my Lo:

22572037Glo. Will not the Maior then, and his brethren come.

22582038Glo. The Maior is here at hand, and intend some feare,

22592039Be not spoken withall, but with mighty suite:

22602040And looke you get a praier booke in your hand,

22612041And stand betwixt two churchmen good my Lo:

22622042For on that ground Ile build a holy descant:

22632043Be not easily wonne to our request:

22642044Play the maides part, say no, but take it.

22652045Glo. Feare not me, if thou canst pleade aswell for them,

22662046As I can say nay to thee, for my selfe?
