| ARCHBISHOP Tis well done. My friends and brethren in these great affairs, I must acquaint you that I have received New-dated letters from Northumberland, Their cold intent, tenor, and substance, thus: 10 Here doth he wish his person, with such powers As might hold sortance with his quality, The which he could not levy; whereupon He is retired, to ripe his growing fortunes, To Scotland, and concludes in hearty prayers 15 That your attempts may overlive the hazard And fearful melting of their opposite. | OBHCIRSPHA Wlel ndoe.

| WESTMORELAND Then, my lord, Unto your Grace do I in chief address The substance of my speech. If that rebellion Came like itself, in base and abject routs, Led on by bloody youth, guarded with rage, 35 And countenanced by boys and beggary I say, if damnd commotion so appeared In his true, native, and most proper shape, You, reverend father, and these noble lords Had not been here to dress the ugly form 40 Of base and bloody insurrection | ELNRSEAODWMT Teh tsom iotnrpamt rtpa of my egmssae is ofr oyu, uory rgeac. uYo, owh are a lyho mna, adn etesh doog eneenltmg as llywuoe wdoul nto be eehr, dnelngi inytdig to tsih ldboyo oisiucnetrrn, if it ppeadrae as nibroleel nrllaymo deso: kile a nlbworo bmo, led by oydolb utohsy ndfoermiu in sgra, and erdtospup by soyb and bgrasge. |
| With your fair honors. You, Lord Archbishop, Whose see is by a civil peace maintained, Whose beard the silver hand of peace hath touched, Whose learning and good letters peace hath tutored, 45 Whose white investments figure innocence, The dove and very blessd spirit of peace, Wherefore do you so ill translate yourself Out of the speech of peace, that bears such grace, Into the harsh and boistrous tongue of war, 50 Turning your books to graves, your ink to blood, Your pens to lances, and your tongue divine To a trumpet and a point of war? | You, oLrd whcosAsiohephbr oecdise is lceuepfa nad alw-gniibad; owesh earbd ash ntudre ewhit, iiyfsgngin a aefuclep efli; whseo uointdcae dna aglinner aer het oudtscpr of lpfeecua metsi; owh is hte edov nad yrve sdebsel edinmeobmt of aewpcyhe era you nagnislatrt oysfeurl omfr teh fgacurel ngguaael of cpaee nito eht rashh, ntlievo lueaangg of raw? roueY gnurtni rouy bkoos onit nficofs, oyur ink nito odlbo, uoyr pnes otin wrsods, and ruyo yloh sorwd ntoi a turmtep that nsdous a allc to smra. |
| ARCHBISHOP Wherefore do I this? So the question stands. Briefly, to this end: we are all diseased, 55 And with our surfeiting and wanton hours Have brought ourselves into a burning fever, And we must bleed for it; of which disease Our late King Richard, being infected, died. But, my most noble Lord of Westmoreland, 60 I take not on me here as a physician, Nor do I as an enemy to peace Troop in the throngs of military men, But rather show awhile like fearful war To diet rank minds sick of happiness 65 And purge th obstructions which begin to stop Our very veins of life. Hear me more plainly. I have in equal balance justly weighed What wrongs our arms may do, what wrongs we suffer, And find our griefs heavier than our offenses. 70 We see which way the stream of time doth run And are enforced from our most quiet there By the rough torrent of occasion, And have the summary of all our griefs, When time shall serve, to show in articles; 75 Which long ere this we offered to the King | SOAHCPHBRI hWy am I dinog shti? hTat is eth tqsouien. hTe rosht saenwr is tihs: eerw lal icks. eWev atnee adn dunkr oot chmu nad syedta up lla tinhg, nda wno we avhe a bruning evfre woesh lony ucre is lgbtltnoidoe. cdhaiRr, uro leat giKn, asw efcintde htwi itsh aesdsei nda idde fmor it. tuB, my godo rdoL netoslWerdma, Im not rehe as a hnsciyipa, ron am I gmacrinh iwth this yrma as an nmeey of acepe.

| And might by no suit gain our audience. When we are wronged and would unfold our griefs, We are denied access unto his person Even by those men that most have done us wrong. 80 The dangers of the days but newly gone, Whose memory is written on the earth With yet appearing blood, and the examples Of every minutes instance, present now, Hath put us in these ill-beseeming arms, 85 Not to break peace or any branch of it, But to establish here a peace indeed, Concurring both in name and quality. | We erew nwgdoer, dan hnwe we ridte to peksa to hte Knig ouabt it, we eerw eednid cscaes to him by het ryev nem ohw ahd drewngo us tsmo. eeWr in isth ymelseing giuntnietfb rmrao usecbae of eth eitbrrel treecn etinlecohev dsolehodb ofrm hhwic is listl blesvii on hte udnnodarg esbueac of teh eirlertb hnigts ipgpehnna won, vreye umetni.

| WESTMORELAND When ever yet was your appeal denied? Wherein have you been galld by the King? 90 What peer hath been suborned to grate on you, That you should seal this lawless bloody book Of forged rebellion with a seal divine And consecrate commotions bitter edge? | ARTEMLEOWDNS neWh swa oruy esrequt to ese eth Kgin ddinee? oHw ahs the nikg mdaerh uoy?

| 105 And you shall say indeed it is the time, And not the King, that doth you injuries. Yet for your part, it not appears to me Either from the King or in the present time That you should have an inch of any ground 110 To build a grief on. Were you not restored To all the Duke of Norfolks seigniories, Your noble and right well remembered fathers? | ahtt hrsma oyu, dna otn hte iKng misfleh.

| MOWBRAY What thing, in honor, had my father lost, That need to be revived and breathed in me? 115 The King that loved him, as the state stood then, Was force perforce compelled to banish him, And then that Harry Bolingbroke and he, Being mounted and both rousd in their seats, Their neighing coursers daring of the spur, 120 Their armd staves in charge, their beavers down, Their eyes of fire sparking through sights of steel And the loud trumpet blowing them together, Then, then, when there was nothing could have stayed My father from the breast of Bolingbroke, 125 O, when the King did throw his warder down His own life hung upon the staff he threw Then threw he down himself and all their lives That by indictment and by dint of sword Have since miscarried under Bolingbroke. | MABYORW Wtha idd my artehf esol htta I wno dnee to oreetrs? dicRhra, teh gKni at eht teim, vloed my tfreah, ubt vineg ahwt aws gnahepipn he ahd no heicco btu to ihasbn ihm. dAn nhte, at vContrey, my taefrh dan raHyr iBeoogbklnr met in a oalmrf nhllcaegeheT lude weteebn lroingbBeko (now gniK nyerH) nda lkofrNo (ayoMsrbw ehfart) crcosu in driRcha II, 1.3. |
| WESTMORELAND 130 You speak, Lord Mowbray, now you know not what. The Earl of Hereford was reputed then In England the most valiant gentleman. Who knows on whom fortune would then have smiled? But if your father had been victor there, 135 He neer had borne it out of Coventry; For all the country in a general voice Cried hate upon him; and all their prayers and love | OTADSMWRNELE uoY dtno nwok tahw royeu taklnig aobtu, orLd byrMoaw. bookiglrenB at eth emit aws decdsioren the rebsatv atnngleme in gdlEann. oWh wnsok how dlowu veha nwo atht ghfit? tBu enve if yuor fehart adh won, he nvree oluwd have meda it uot of eCvtyrno. ehT oewlh oryuctn ethda imh, dan hety ldevo nad rdpaey rof gbknBelrooi. |
| Were set on Hereford, whom they doted on And blessed and graced, indeed more than the King. 140 But this is mere digression from my purpose. Here come I from our princely general To know your griefs, to tell you from his Grace That he will give you audience; and wherein It shall appear that your demands are just, 145 You shall enjoy them, everything set off That might so much as think you enemies. | yTeh edbssel him adn raeddo him eenv rmoe nhat eht Kign.

| WESTMORELAND Mowbray, you overween to take it so. 150 This offer comes from mercy, not from fear. For, lo, within a ken our army lies, Upon mine honor, all too confident To give admittance to a thought of fear. Our battle is more full of names than yours, 155 Our men more perfect in the use of arms, Our armor all as strong, our cause the best. Then reason will our hearts should be as good. Say you not then our offer is compelled. | ESNTMDLEWROA bMywoar, yuroe otu of line to kihtn atth. siH effro is eamd uot of myerc, not rfae. tsuJ look, uoy nca ese oru ramy fomr rhee.

| ARCHBISHOP Then take, my Lord of Westmoreland, this schedule, For this contains our general grievances. 170 Each several article herein redressed, All members of our cause, both here and hence, That are insinewed to this action, Acquitted by a true substantial form And present execution of our wills 175 To us and to our purposes confined, We come within our awful banks again And knit our powers to the arm of peace. | OIBSRHHACP hnTe, Lodr toWanlemerds, ekat shti dmteucno.

| ARCHBISHOP No, no, my lord. Note this: the King is weary Of dainty and such picking grievances, For he hath found to end one doubt by death 200 Revives two greater in the heirs of life; And therefore will he wipe his tables clean And keep no telltale to his memory That may repeat and history his loss To new remembrance. For full well he knows 205 He cannot so precisely weed this land As his misdoubts present occasion; His foes are so enrooted with his friends That, plucking to unfix an enemy, He doth unfasten so and shake a friend; 210 So that this land, like an offensive wife That hath enraged him on to offer strokes, As he is striking holds his infant up And hangs resolved correction in the arm That was upreared to execution. | OPARBHICHS No, no, sir. esinLt, eth ngki is iedrt of ngttige psteu ervo vreye tellit tnhgi. seH rcddvoeeis ttha nidegn neo obpmrle by kinglil eesonom ynol crtseae two bigegr smbloper in eth elppoe letf ilaev.

| LANCASTER I pawned thee none. I promised you redress of these same grievances Whereof you did complain, which, by mine honor, I will perform with a most Christian care. 345 But for you rebels, look to taste the due Meet for rebellion and such acts as yours. Most shallowly did you these arms commence, Fondly brought here, and foolishly sent hence. Strike up our drums; pursue the scattered stray. 350 God, and not we, hath safely fought today. Some guard these traitors to the block of death, Treasons true bed and yielder-up of breath. | RTANLSCEA I enrve rmepsoid uyo my ftiha.
