ACT IV.
SCENE I. _Westminster Hall._
_Enter as to the Parliament_, BOLINGBROKE, AUMERLE,
NORTHUMBERLAND, PERCY, FITZWATER, SURREY, _the_ BISHOP of
CARLISLE, _the_ ABBOT of WESTMINSTER, _and another_ Lord,
Herald, Officers, _and_ BAGOT.[1548]
_Boling._ Call forth Bagot.[1549]
Now, Bagot, freely speak thy mind;[1550]
What thou dost know of noble Gloucester's death;
Who wrought it with the king, and who perform'd
The bloody office of his timeless end. 5
_Bagot._ Then set before my face the Lord Aumerle.
_Boling._ Cousin, stand forth, and look upon that man.
_Bagot._ My Lord Aumerle, I know your daring tongue
Scorns to unsay what once it hath deliver'd.[1551]
In that dead time when Gloucester's death was plotted, 10
I heard you say, 'Is not my arm of length,
That reacheth from the restful English court
As far as Calais, to mine uncle's head?'[1552]
Amongst much other talk, that very time,
I heard you say that you had rather refuse[1553] 15
The offer of an hundred thousand crowns
Than Bolingbroke's return to England;[1554][1555]
Adding withal, how blest this land would be[1555][1556]
In this your cousin's death.[1555]
