Arch. That he should draw his several strengths together
And come against us in full puissance,
Need not be dreaded.[3454]
Hast. If he should do so,[3455]
He leaves his back unarm'd, the French and Welsh[3455][3456]
Baying him at the heels: never fear that.[3455][3456]80
L. Bard. Who is it like should lead his forces hither?
Hast. The Duke of Lancaster and Westmoreland;
Against the Welsh, himself and Harry Monmouth:
But who is substituted 'gainst the French,[3457]
I have no certain notice.
Arch. Let us[3458]85
And publish the occasion of our arms.[3458]
The commonwealth is sick of their own choice;[3458][3459]
Their over-greedy love hath surfeited:[3458][3459]
An habitation giddy and unsure[3458]
Hath he that buildeth on the vulgar heart.[3458]90
O thou fond many, with what loud applause[3458][3460]
Didst thou beat heaven with blessing Bolingbroke,[3458]
Before he was what thou wouldst have him be![3458]
And being now trimm'd in thine own desires,[3458][3461]
Thou, beastly feeder, art so full of him,[3458]95
That thou provokest thyself to cast him up.[3458]
So, so, thou common dog, didst thou disgorge[3458]
Thy glutton bosom of the royal Richard;[3458]
And now thou wouldst eat thy dead vomit up,[3458]
And howl'st to find it. What trust is in these times?[3458]100
They that, when Richard lived, would have him die,[3458][3462]
Are now become enamour'd on his grave:[3458][3462]
Thou, that threw'st dust upon his goodly head[3458]
When through proud London he came sighing on[3458]
After the admired heels of Bolingbroke,[3458]105
Criest now 'O earth, yield us that king again,[3458]
And take thou this!' O thoughts of men accursed![3458]
Past and to come seems best; things present, worst.[3458][3463]
Mowb. Shall we go draw our numbers, and set on?[3464]
Hast. We are time's subjects, and time bids be gone.110
[Exeunt.[3465]
