Vpon my Soule, the hearers will shed Teares:
Yea, euen my Foes will shed fast-falling Teares, And say, Alas, it was a pittious deed. There, take the Crowne, and with the Crowne, my Curse, And in thy need, such comfort come to thee, As now I reape at thy too cruell hand. Hard-hearted Clifford, take me from the World, My Soule to Heauen, my Blood vpon your Heads Northumb. Had he been slaughter-man to all my Kinne, I should not for my Life but weepe with him, To see how inly Sorrow gripes his Soule Queen. What, weeping ripe, my Lord Northumberland? Thinke but vpon the wrong he did vs all, And that will quickly drie thy melting Teares Clifford. Heere's for my Oath, heere's for my Fathers Death Queene. And heere's to right our gentle-hearted King Yorke. Open thy Gate of Mercy, gracious God, My Soule flyes through these wounds, to seeke out thee Queene. Off with his Head, and set it on Yorke Gates, So Yorke may ouer-looke the Towne of Yorke. Flourish. Exit. |
