King Richard the Second, V. ii

'Tis nothing but some bond he's enter'd into

For gay apparel 'gainst the triumph day.

York. Bound to himself? what doth he with a bond

That he is bound to? Wife, thou art a fool.

Boy, let me see the writing.

Aum. I do beseech you, pardon me; I may not show it.

York. I will be satisfied; let me see it, I say.

Treason! foul treason! villain! traitor! slave!

Duch. What is the matter, my lord?

York. Ho! who is within there?

Saddle my horse.

God for his mercy! what treachery is here!

Duch. Why, what is it, my lord?

York. Give me my boots, I say; saddle my horse.

Now, by mine honour, by my life, my troth,

I will appeach the villain.

Duch. What's the matter?

York. Peace, foolish woman.

Duch. I will not peace. What is the matter, Aumerle?

Aum. Good mother, be content; it is no more

Than my poor life must answer.

Duch. Thy life answer!

York. Bring me my boots: I will unto the king.

Duch. Strike him, Aumerle. Poor boy, thou art amaz'd.
