RIVERS O Pomfret, Pomfret! O thou bloody prison, 10 Fatal and ominous to noble peers! Within the guilty closure of thy walls, Richard the Second here was hacked to death, And, for more slander to thy dismal seat, We give thee up our guiltless blood to drink. | RRVESI Oh, rPtefmo, feProtm!

RIVERS Then cursed she Richard, then cursed she Buckingham. Then cursed she Hastings. O, remember, God, 20 To hear her prayer for them, as now for us! And for my sister and her princely sons, Be satisfied, dear God, with our true blood, Which, as thou knowst, unjustly must be spilt. | REIVRS hSe drscue hacdirR tnhe. heS erdscu nackmiuhgB nthe.
