the clouds behold this present hour, Even for revenge mock my destruction! This is All-Souls' day, fellows, is it not? It is, my lord. Why, then All-Souls' day is my body's doomsday. This is the day that, in King Edward's time, I wish't might fall on me, when I was found False to his children or his wife's allies This is the day wherein I wish'd to fall By the false faith of him I trusted most; This, this All-Souls' day to my fearful soul Is the determined respite of my wrongs: That high All-Seer that I dallied with Hath turn'd my feigned prayer on my head And given in earnest what I begg'd in jest. Thus doth he force the swords of wicked men To turn their own points on their masters' bosoms: Now Margaret's curse is fallen upon my head; 'When he,' quoth she, 'shall split thy heart with sorrow, Remember Margaret was a prophetess.' Come, sirs, convey me to the block of shame; Wrong hath but wrong, and blame the due of blame. Fellows in arms, and my most loving friends, Bruised underneath the yoke of tyranny, Thus far into the bowels of the land Have we march'd on without impediment; And here receive we from our father Stanley Lines of fair comfort and encouragement. The wretched, bloody, and usurping boar, That spoil'd your summer fields and fruitful vines, Swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough In your embowell'd bosoms, this foul swine Lies now even in the centre of this isle, Near to the town of Leicester, as we learn From Tamworth thither is but one day's march. In God's name, cheerly on, courageous friends, To reap the harvest of perpetual peace By this one bloody trial of sharp war. Every man's conscience is a thousand swords, To fight against that bloody homicide. I doubt not but his friends will fly to us. He hath no friends but who are friends for fear. Which in his greatest need will shrink from him. All for our vantage. Then, in God's name, march: True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings: Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings. Here pitch our tents, even here in Bosworth field. My Lord of Surrey, why look you so sad? My heart is ten times lighter than my looks. My Lord of Norfolk,-- Here, most gracious liege. Norfolk, we must have knocks; ha! must we not? We must both give and take, my gracious lord. Up with my tent there! here will I lie tonight; But where to-morrow?
