He was; I heard the proclamation: And then it was when the unhappy King-- Whose wrongs in us God pardon!--did set forth Upon his Irish expedition; From whence he intercepted did return To be deposed, and shortly murdered. WOR. And for whose death we in the world's wide mouth Live scandalized and foully spoken of. HOT. But, soft! I pray you; did King Richard then Proclaim my brother Edmund Mortimer Heir to the crown? |
