The Tragedy
of King Richard II
Theatre 250/376 Seminar
Fall 2008
Richard II Scanned
BAGOT (II, 2)
No; I will to Ireland to his majesty.
Farewell: if heart's presages be not vain,
We three here art that ne'er shall meet again.
HENRY BOLINGBROKE (I, 1)
Look, what I speak, my life shall prove it true;
That Mowbray hath received eight thousand nobles
In name of lendings for your highness' soldiers,
The which he hath detain'd for lewd employments,
Like a false traitor and injurious villain.
THOMAS MOWBRAY (I, 1)
A recreant and most degenerate traitor
KING RICHARD II (I, 1)
Rage must be withstood:
Give me his gage: lions make leopards tame.
DUCHESS (I, 2)
Finds brotherhood in thee no sharper spur?
Hath love in thy old blood no living fire?
Edward's seven sons, whereof thyself art one,
Were as seven vials of his sacred blood,
Or seven fair branches springing from one root:
Some of those seven are dried by nature's course,
Some of those branches by the Destinies cut;
DUCHESS (I, 2)
Desolate, desolate, will I hence and die:
