QUEEN MARGARET So now prosperity begins to mellow And drop into the rotten mouth of death. Here in these confines slyly have I lurked To watch the waning of mine enemies. 5 A dire induction am I witness to, And will to France, hoping the consequence Will prove as bitter, black, and tragical. Withdraw thee, wretched Margaret. Who comes here?	UNEQE GEATRMRA So own hte oogd eitsm eavh epedirn nda rgwon otentr. Ive deklur in het asdsohw reeh to htawc teh lwaflndo of my iemesne.

Enter QUEEN ELIZABETH and the DUCHESS of York	EEQUN ETBEILHZA adn eht SCHDESU of Yrko rente.
QUEEN ELIZABETH Ah, my poor princes! Ah, my tender babes, 10 My unblown flowers, new-appearing sweets, If yet your gentle souls fly in the air And be not fixed in doom perpetual, Hover about me with your airy wings And hear your mothers lamentation.	EUNEQ ZEEHTLAIB Ah, my proo rpscein! Ah, my erdent bbaes, my lfwseor hwo nddti eevn etg a ahcnec to omolb.

DUCHESS So many miseries have crazed my voice That my woe-wearied tongue is still and mute. Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead?	DESUHSC eIv bene erdcaz thwi so anmy miesiers tath my guneot sah tedri of inmtegnla dna ogen mtue. addrwE etagnPtlaen, yhw rae uyo dead?
QUEEN MARGARET (aside) Plantagenet doth quit Plantagenet; Edward for Edward pays a dying debt.	ENUEQ ARTERAGM (to relhsef) eOn aePntelngta ysap for het oehtr. Oen rwadEd ised to yap a etdb for the erhot rEdawd hwo iedd.
QUEEN ELIZABETH Wilt thou, O God, fly from such gentle lambs And throw them in the entrails of the wolf? When didst thou sleep when such a deed was done?	EUQEN LAIEEHBTZ lilW uoy nbdaaon hcus tengel blams, dGo, dan wroth temh to eth slvoew? vaHe yuo eevr pstel rebeof hilwe such a elrriteb dede aws node?

DUCHESS (sitting down) Dead life, blind sight, poor mortal living ghost, Woes scene, worlds shame, graves due by life usurped, Brief abstract and record of tedious days, 30 Rest thy unrest on Englands lawful earth, Unlawfully made drunk with innocent blood.	DEUHCSS (sgiittn wodn) hgtSi ash ogen libnd, flei is as ddae as a ogtsh. hsiT is a fmnroulu eenstsci a meash to eht wlodr, henw nsomoee kiel me, hwo dlshou heva dide gnol oag, tsill selvi.

QUEEN ELIZABETH (sitting down beside her) Ah, that thou wouldst as soon afford a grave As thou canst yield a melancholy seat, 35 Then would I hide my bones, not rest them here. O, who hath any cause to mourn but we?	QUENE IAETLHZEB (sngiitt ndow idbese her) Oh, if ynol hte ertah dwlou effor me tno usjt a tase for gomuninr ubt a veagr. hTen I duolw rbyu feyslm, not stuj erst my oesbn. Oh, how sah ayn eosran to nrmou tcexpe us?
QUEEN MARGARET (joining them) If ancient sorrow be most reverend, Give mine the benefit of seigniory, And let my griefs frown on the upper hand. 40 If sorrow can admit society, Tell oer your woes again by viewing mine. I had an Edward till a Richard killed him; I had a husband till a Richard killed him. Thou hadst an Edward till a Richard killed him; 45 Thou hadst a Richard till a Richard killed him.

QUEEN MARGARET Thou hadst a Clarence too, and Richard killed him Then forth the kennel of thy womb hath crept 50 A hellhound that doth hunt us all to death That dog, that had his teeth before his eyes, To worry lambs and lap their gentle blood; That excellent grand tyrant of the earth, That reigns in galld eyes of weeping souls; 55 That foul defacer of Gods handiwork Thy womb let loose to chase us to our graves. O upright, just, and true-disposing God, How do I thank thee that this carnal cur Preys on the issue of his mothers body 60 And makes her pew-fellow with others moan!

QUEEN MARGARET Bear with me, I am hungry for revenge, And now I cloy me with beholding it. 65 Thy Edward he is dead, that killed my Edward, Thy other Edward dead, to quit my Edward; Young York, he is but boot, because both they Matched not the high perfection of my loss. Thy Clarence he is dead that stabbed my Edward, 70 And the beholders of this frantic play, Th adulterate Hastings, Rivers, Vaughan, Grey, Untimely smothered in their dusky graves. Richard yet lives, hells black intelligencer, Only reserved their factor to buy souls 75 And send them thither. But at hand, at hand Ensues his piteous and unpitied end. Earth gapes, hell burns, fiends roar, saints pray, To have him suddenly conveyed from hence. Cancel his bond of life, dear God I pray, 80 That I may live to say, The dog is dead.

QUEEN ELIZABETH O, thou didst prophesy the time would come That I should wish for thee to help me curse That bottled spider, that foul bunch-backed toad!	NQUEE HBATEIELZ Oh, oyu edhroeppsi taht het time ulodw come wnhe I uldwo watn uryo lphe in riusgnc atth uahdpmebkc repdis, ttha ouesihd adot!
QUEEN MARGARET I called thee then vain flourish of my fortune. 85 I called thee then poor shadow, painted queen, The presentation of but what I was, The flattering index of a direful pageant, One heaved a-high, to be hurled down below, A mother only mocked with two fair babes, 90 A dream of what thou wast, a garish flag To be the aim of every dangerous shot, A sign of dignity, a breath, a bubble, A queen in jest, only to fill the scene. Where is thy husband now? Where be thy brothers? 95 Where are thy two sons? Wherein dost thou joy? Who sues and kneels and says God save the queen? Where be the bending peers that flattered thee? Where be the thronging troops that followed thee? Decline all this, and see what now thou art: 100 For happy wife, a most distressd widow; For joyful mother, one that wails the name; For queen, a very caitiff crowned with care; For she that scorned at me, now scorned of me; For she being feared of all, now fearing one; 105 For she commanding all, obeyed of none. Thus hath the course of justice whirled about And left thee but a very prey to time, Having no more but thought of what thou wast To torture thee the more, being what thou art. 110 Thou didst usurp my place, and dost thou not Usurp the just proportion of my sorrow? Now thy proud neck bears half my burdened yoke, From which even here I slip my weary head And leave the burthen of it all on thee. 115 Farewell, Yorks wife, and queen of sad mischance. These English woes will make me smile in France.

A grievous burden was thy birth to me; 170 Tetchy and wayward was thy infancy; Thy school days frightful, desprate, wild, and furious; Thy prime of manhood daring, bold, and venturous; Thy age confirmed, proud, subtle, sly, and bloody, More mild, but yet more harmful, kind in hatred. 175 What comfortable hour canst thou name, That ever graced me in thy company?

QUEEN ELIZABETH Cousins, indeed, and by their uncle cozened 225 Of comfort, kingdom, kindred, freedom, life. Whose hand soever launched their tender hearts, Thy head, all indirectly, gave direction. No doubt the murdrous knife was dull and blunt Till it was whetted on thy stone-hard heart, 230 To revel in the entrails of my lambs. But that still use of grief makes wild grief tame, My tongue should to thy ears not name my boys Till that my nails were anchored in thine eyes, And I, in such a desprate bay of death, 235 Like a poor bark of sails and tackling reft, Rush all to pieces on thy rocky bosom.

Your children were vexation to your youth, But mine shall be a comfort to your age. 310 The loss you have is but a son being king, And by that loss your daughter is made queen. I cannot make you what amends I would; Therefore accept such kindness as I can. Dorset your son, that with a fearful soul 315 Leads discontented steps in foreign soil, This fair alliance quickly shall call home To high promotions and great dignity. The king that calls your beauteous daughter wife Familiarly shall call thy Dorset brother. 320 Again shall you be mother to a king, And all the ruins of distressful times Repaired with double riches of content. What, we have many goodly days to see! The liquid drops of tears that you have shed 325 Shall come again, transformed to orient pearl, Advantaging their love with interest Of ten times double gain of happiness.

QUEEN MARGARET I called thee then vain flourish of my fortune. 85 I called thee then poor shadow, painted queen, The presentation of but what I was, The flattering index of a direful pageant, One heaved a-high, to be hurled down below, A mother only mocked with two fair babes, 90 A dream of what thou wast, a garish flag To be the aim of every dangerous shot, A sign of dignity, a breath, a bubble, A queen in jest, only to fill the scene. Where is thy husband now? Where be thy brothers? 95 Where are thy two sons? Wherein dost thou joy? Who sues and kneels and says God save the queen? Where be the bending peers that flattered thee? Where be the thronging troops that followed thee? Decline all this, and see what now thou art: 100 For happy wife, a most distressd widow; For joyful mother, one that wails the name; For queen, a very caitiff crowned with care; For she that scorned at me, now scorned of me; For she being feared of all, now fearing one; 105 For she commanding all, obeyed of none. Thus hath the course of justice whirled about And left thee but a very prey to time, Having no more but thought of what thou wast To torture thee the more, being what thou art. 110 Thou didst usurp my place, and dost thou not Usurp the just proportion of my sorrow? Now thy proud neck bears half my burdened yoke, From which even here I slip my weary head And leave the burthen of it all on thee. 115 Farewell, Yorks wife, and queen of sad mischance.

Your children were vexation to your youth, But mine shall be a comfort to your age. 310 The loss you have is but a son being king, And by that loss your daughter is made queen. I cannot make you what amends I would; Therefore accept such kindness as I can.

What, we have many goodly days to see! The liquid drops of tears that you have shed 325 Shall come again, transformed to orient pearl, Advantaging their love with interest Of ten times double gain of happiness.
