1 |
Set down, set down your honourable load,
|
|
2 |
What black magician conjures up this fiend,
|
|
3 |
What, do you tremble? are you all afraid?
|
|
4 |
Foul devil, for God's sake, hence, and trouble us not;
|
|
5 |
Villain, thou know'st no law of God nor man:
|
|
6 |
O wonderful, when devils tell the truth! |
|
7 |
Vouchsafe, defused infection of a man,
|
|
8 |
Fouler than heart can think thee, thou canst make
|
|
9 |
And, by despairing, shouldst thou stand excused;
|
|
10 |
Why, then they are not dead:
|
|
11 |
Why, then he is alive. |
|
12 |
In thy foul throat thou liest: Queen Margaret saw
|
|
13 |
Thou wast provoked by thy bloody mind.
|
|
14 |
Dost grant me, hedgehog? then, God grant me too
|
|
15 |
He is in heaven, where thou shalt never come. |
|
16 |
And thou unfit for any place but hell. |
|
17 |
Some dungeon. |
|
18 |
I'll rest betide the chamber where thou liest! |
|
19 |
I hope so. |
|
20 |
Thou art the cause, and most accursed effect. |
|
21 |
If I thought that, I tell thee, homicide,
|
|
22 |
Black night o'ershade thy day, and death thy life! |
|
23 |
I would I were, to be revenged on thee. |
|
24 |
It is a quarrel just and reasonable,
|
|
25 |
His better doth not breathe upon the earth. |
|
26 |
Name him. |
|
27 |
Why, that was he. |
|
28 |
Where is he? |
|
29 |
Would it were mortal poison, for thy sake! |
|
30 |
Never hung poison on a fouler toad.
|
|
31 |
Would they were basilisks, to strike thee dead! |
|
32 |
Arise, dissembler: though I wish thy death,
|
|
33 |
I have already. |
|
34 |
I would I knew thy heart. |
|
35 |
I fear me both are false. |
|
36 |
Well, well, put up your sword. |
|
37 |
That shall you know hereafter. |
|
38 |
All men, I hope, live so. |
|
39 |
To take is not to give. |
|
40 |
What is it? |
|
41 |
With all my heart; and much it joys me too,
|
|
42 |
'Tis more than you deserve;
|
|
43 |
God give your graces both
|
|
44 |
No farther than the Tower; and, as I guess,
|
|
45 |
Their aunt I am in law, in love their mother:
|
|
46 |
Despiteful tidings! O unpleasing news! |
|
47 |
And I in all unwillingness will go.
|
|
48 |
No! why? When he that is my husband now
|
|
49 |
No more than from my soul I mourn for yours. |
|
50 |
Adieu, poor soul, that takest thy leave of it! |
|
51 |
[To KING RICHARD III]
