And not King Richard: thou most beauteous Inne,

Why should hard-favor’d Griefe be lodged in thee,

When Triumph is become an ale-house guest?

Rich. Joyne not with griefe faire Woman, do not so,

To make my end too sudden: learne good Soule,

To thinke our former State a happie Dreame,

From which awak’d, the truth of what we are,

Shewes us but this. I am sworne Brother (Sweet)

To grim Necessitie; and hee and I

Will keepe a League till Death,” etc.—R. II., Act. v., Sc. i.
