King Richard the Second, III. i

Dispark'd my parks, and felled my forest woods,

From mine own windows torn my household coat,

Raz'd out my impress, leaving me no sign,

Save men's opinions and my living blood,

To show the world I am a gentleman.

This and much more, much more than twice all this,

Condemns you to the death. See them deliver'd over

To execution and the hand of death.

Bushy. More welcome is the stroke of death to me

Than Bolingbroke to England. Lords, farewell.

Green. My comfort is, that heaven will take our souls

And plague injustice with the pains of hell.

Boling. My Lord Northumberland, see them dispatch'd.

Uncle, you say the queen is at your house;

For God's sake, fairly let her be entreated:

Tell her I send to her my kind commends;

Take special care my greetings be deliver'd.

York. A gentleman of mine I have dispatch'd

With letters of your love to her at large.

Boling. Thanks, gentle uncle. Come, lords, away,

To fight with Glendower and his complices:

Awhile to work, and after holiday.

Exeunt.
