King Richard the Second, I. iii

Though this be all, do not so quickly go;

I shall remember more. Bid him—ah, what?—

With all good speed at Plashy visit me.

Alack! and what shall good old York there see

But empty lodgings and unfurnish'd walls,

Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones?

And what hear there for welcome but my groans?

Therefore commend me; let him not come there,

To seek out sorrow that dwells everywhere.

Desolate, desolate will I hence, and die:

The last leave of thee takes my weeping eye.

Exeunt.

Mar. My Lord Aumerle, is Harry Hereford arm'd?

Aum. Yea, at all points, and longs to enter in.

Mar. The Duke of Norfolk, sprightfully and bold,

Stays but the summons of the appellant's trumpet.

Aum. Why, then, the champions are prepar'd, and stay

For nothing but his majesty's approach.

 66 Plashy: her seat in Essex

68 unfurnish'd: without hangings

69 offices: kitchens and other service rooms

71 commend me: remember me to him  3 sprightfully: with high spirit

6 S. d. Flourish: a triumphant trumpet call
