Bushy and Green, I will not vex your souls--
Since presently your souls must part your bodies--
With too much urging your pernicious lives,[1291]
For 'twere no charity; yet, to wash your blood 5
From off my hands, here in the view of men
I will unfold some causes of your deaths.[1292]
You have misled a prince, a royal king,
A happy gentleman in blood and lineaments,
By you unhappied and disfigured clean: 10
You have in manner with your sinful hours
Made a divorce betwixt his queen and him,
Broke the possession of a royal bed[1293]
And stain'd the beauty of a fair queen's cheeks
With tears drawn from her eyes by your foul wrongs.[1294] 15
Myself, a prince by fortune of my birth,
Near to the king in blood, and near in love
Till you did make him misinterpret me,[1295]
Have stoop'd my neck under your injuries,
And sigh'd my English breath in foreign clouds,[1296] 20
Eating the bitter bread of banishment;
Whilst you have fed upon my signories,[1297]
Dispark'd my parks and fell'd my forest woods,
From my own windows torn my household coat,[1298]
Razed out my imprese, leaving me no sign,[1299] 25
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[1300]
