_K. Rich._ Ay, no; no, ay; for I must nothing be;[1618][1638][1641] Therefore no no, for I resign to thee.[1618][1638][1642] Now mark me, how I will undo myself:[1618] I give this heavy weight from off my head[1618] And this unwieldy sceptre from my hand,[1618] 205 The pride of kingly sway from out my heart;[1618] With mine own tears I wash away my balm,[1618][1643] With mine own hands I give away my crown,[1618] With mine own tongue deny my sacred state,[1618] With mine own breath release all duty's rites:[1618][1644] 210 All pomp and majesty I do forswear;[1618] My manors, rents, revenues I forego;[1618][1645] My acts, decrees, and statutes I deny:[1618] God pardon all oaths that are broke to me![1618] God keep all vows unbroke that swear to thee![1618][1646] 215 Make me, that nothing have, with nothing grieved,[1618] And thou with all pleased, that hast all achieved![1618] Long mayst thou live in Richard's seat to sit,[1618][1647] And soon lie Richard in an earthy pit![1618][1647][1648] God save King Harry, unking'd Richard says,[1618][1647][1649] 220 And send him many years of sunshine days![1618][1647][1650] What more remains?[1618] _North._ No more, but that you read[1618][1651] These accusations and these grievous crimes[1618] Committed by your person and your followers[1618] Against the state and profit of this land;[1618] 225 That, by confessing them, the souls of men[1618] May deem that you are worthily deposed.[1618] _K. Rich._ Must I do so? and must I ravel out[1618] My weaved-up folly? Gentle Northumberland,[1618][1652] If thy offences were upon record,[1618] 230 Would it not shame thee in so fair a troop[1618] To read a lecture of them? If thou wouldst,[1618][1653] There shouldst thou find one heinous article,[1618] Containing the deposing of a king[1618] And cracking the strong warrant of an oath,[1618] 235 Mark'd with a blot, damn'd in the book of heaven:[1618] Nay, all of you that stand and look upon,[1618][1654] Whilst that my wretchedness doth bait myself,[1618][1655] Though some of you with Pilate wash your hands[1618] Showing an outward pity; yet you Pilates[1618][1656] 240 Have here deliver'd me to my sour cross,[1618][1657] And water cannot wash away your sin.[1618] _North._ My lord, dispatch; read o'er these articles.[1618]
