Sister farewell, I must to Coventry, much good stay with thee, as go with me. Yet ne word ore, griee boundeth where is fa, Not with the empty hollowness, but weight: I take my leave before I have begun, For sorrow ends not when it seemeth done: Commend me to thy brother Edmund York, Lo this is all: nay yet depart not so, Though this be all, do not so quickly go: I shall remember more: Bid him, ah what? Wh all good speede at Plashie visite me, Alack and what shall good old York there see, But empty lodgings and unfurnished walls, Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones, And what hear there for welcome but my groans? Therefore commend me, let him not come there, To seek out sorrow that dwells every where, Desolate desolate will I hence and die: The last leave of thee takes my weeping eye. My Lord Aumerle is Harry Herford armed? Yea at all points, and longs to enter in▪ The Duke of Norfolk sprightfully and bold, Stays but the summons of the appellants trumpet. Why then the Champions are prepared and stay For nothing but his majesties approach. Marshal demand of yonder Champion, The cause of his arrival here in arms, ask him his name, and orderly proceed To swear him in the justice of his cause. In God's name and the King's say who thou art▪ And why thou comest thus knightly clad in arms, Against what man thou comest and what thy quarrel, Speak truly on thy knighthood, and thy oath, As so defend the heaven and thy valour. My name is Thomas Mowbray Duke of Norfolk, Who hither come engaged by my oath, (Which God defend a Knight should violate) Both to defend my loyalty and truth, To God, my King, and my succeeding issue▪ Against the Duke of Herford that appeals me. And by the grace of God, and this mine arm, To prove him in defending of myself, A traitor to my God, my King, and me, And as I truly fight, defend me heaven. Marshall ask yonder Knight in arms, Both who he is, and why he cometh hither, Thus plated in habiliments of war, And formally according to our law, Depose him in the justice of his cause. What is thy name? and wherefore comest thou hither? Before king Richard in his royal lists. Against whom comes thou? and what's thy quarrel? Speak like a true Knight, so defend thee heaven. Harry of Herford, Lancaster and Derby Am I, who ready here do stand in Arms To prove by God's grace, and my body's valour In lists, on Thomas Mowbray Duke of Norfolk, That he is a traitor foul and dangerous, To God of heaven, king Richard and to me: And as I truly fight, defend me heaven. On pain of death, no person be so bold, Or daring, hardy, as to touch the lists, Except the martial and such officers Appointed to direct these fair designs.
