Aum. My liege, one word.
K. Rich. He does me double wrong215
That wounds me with the flatteries of his tongue.
Discharge my followers: let them hence away,[1398]
From Richard's night to Bolingbroke's fair day.[1399] [Exeunt.
Scene III. Wales. Before Flint castle.
Enter, with drum and colours, Bolingbroke, York, Northumberland, Attendants, and forces.[1400]
Boling. So that by this intelligence we learn
The Welshmen are dispersed; and Salisbury
Is gone to meet the king, who lately landed
With some few private friends upon this coast.
North. The news is very fair and good, my lord:5
Richard not far from hence hath hid his head.
York. It would beseem the Lord Northumberland
To say 'King Richard': alack the heavy day[1401]
When such a sacred king should hide his head.
North. Your grace mistakes; only to be brief,[1402]10
Left I his title out.[1403]
York. The time hath been,[1404]
Would you have been so brief with him, he would[1404][1405]
Have been so brief with you, to shorten you,[1406][1407]
For taking so the head, your whole head's length.[1406][1408]
