_Bast._ Go, bear him in thine arms.[548] I am amazed, methinks, and lose my way 140 Among the thorns and dangers of this world. How easy dost thou take all England up![549] From forth this morsel of dead royalty,[549] The life, the right and truth of all this realm Is fled to heaven; and England now is left 145 To tug and scamble and to part by the teeth[550] The unowed interest of proud-swelling state.[551] Now for the bare-pick'd bone of majesty Doth dogged war bristle his angry crest And snarleth in the gentle eyes of peace: 150 Now powers from home and discontents at home Meet in one line; and vast confusion waits, As doth a raven on a sick-fallen beast,[552] The imminent decay of wrested pomp.[553] Now happy he whose cloak and cincture can[554] 155 Hold out this tempest. Bear away that child And follow me with speed: I'll to the king: A thousand businesses are brief in hand,[555] And heaven itself doth frown upon the land. [_Exeunt._[556] FOOTNOTES: [407] ACT IV.
