_Car._ My lord, wise men ne'er sit and wail their woes,[1386] But presently prevent the ways to wail. To fear the foe, since fear oppresseth strength, 180 Gives in your weakness strength unto your foe, And so your follies fight against yourself.[1387] Fear, and be slain; no worse can come to fight:[1388][1389] And fight and die is death destroying death;[1388][1390] Where fearing dying pays death servile breath.[1388] 185 _Aum._ My father hath a power; inquire of him,[1388] And learn to make a body of a limb.[1388] _K. Rich._ Thou chidest me well: proud Bolingbroke, I come To change blows with thee for our day of doom.[1391] This ague fit of fear is over-blown;[1391] 190 An easy task it is to win our own.[1391] Say, Scroop, where lies our uncle with his power? Speak sweetly, man, although thy looks be sour.[1392] _Scroop._ Men judge by the complexion of the sky[1392] The state and inclination of the day:[1392] 195 So may you by my dull and heavy eye,[1392] My tongue hath but a heavier tale to say.[1392] I play the torturer, by small and small To lengthen out the worst that must be spoken: Your uncle York is join'd with Bolingbroke,[1393] 200 And all your northern castles yielded up And all your southern gentlemen in arms Upon his party. _K. Rich._ Thou hast said enough.[1394] Beshrew thee, cousin, which didst lead me forth [_To Aumerle._[1395] Of that sweet way I was in to despair! 205 What say you now? what comfort have we now? By heaven, I'll hate him everlastingly That bids me be of comfort any more. Go to Flint castle: there I'll pine away; A king, woe's slave, shall kingly woe obey. 210 That power I have, discharge; and let them go[1396] To ear the land that hath some hope to grow,[1397] For I have none: let no man speak again To alter this, for counsel is but vain. _Aum._ My liege, one word. _K. Rich._ He does me double wrong 215 That wounds me with the flatteries of his tongue. Discharge my followers: let them hence away,[1398] From Richard's night to Bolingbroke's fair day.[1399] [_Exeunt._ SCENE III. _Wales. Before Flint castle._ _Enter, with drum and colours_, BOLINGBROKE, YORK, NORTHUMBERLAND, Attendants, _and forces_.[1400] _Boling._ So that by this intelligence we learn The Welshmen are dispersed; and Salisbury Is gone to meet the king, who lately landed With some few private friends upon this coast. _North._ The news is very fair and good, my lord: 5 Richard not far from hence hath hid his head.
