Buck. Northumberland, then present, wept to see it.

Q. Mar. What! were you snarling all before I came,

Ready to catch each other by the throat,

[190] And turn you all your hatred now on me?

Did York’s dread curse prevail so much with heaven

That Henry’s death, my lovely Edward’s death,

[♦] Their kingdom’s loss, my woful banishment,

[♦] Could all but answer for that peevish brat?

195 Can curses pierce the clouds and enter heaven?

Why, then, give way, dull clouds, to my quick curses!
