Cap. My Lord of Salisbury, we have stay'd ten days,[1277]
And hardly kept our countrymen together,[1278]
And yet we hear no tidings from the king;
Therefore we will disperse ourselves: farewell.[1279]

Sal. Stay yet another day, thou trusty Welshman:5
The king reposeth all his confidence in thee.[1280]

Cap. 'Tis thought the king is dead; we will not stay.
The bay-trees in our country are all wither'd[1281]
And meteors fright the fixed stars of heaven;[1282]
The pale-faced moon looks bloody on the earth10
And lean-look'd prophets whisper fearful change;
Rich men look sad and ruffians dance and leap,[1283]
The one in fear to lose what they enjoy,
The other to enjoy by rage and war:[1284]
These signs forerun the death or fall of kings.[1285]15
Farewell: our countrymen are gone and fled,
As well assured Richard their king is dead. [Exit.[1286]

Sal. Ah, Richard, with the eyes of heavy mind[1287][1288]
I see thy glory like a shooting star[1288]
Fall to the base earth from the firmament.20
Thy sun sets weeping in the lowly west,[1289]
Witnessing storms to come, woe and unrest:
Thy friends are fled to wait upon thy foes,
And crossly to thy good all fortune goes. [Exit.[1286]
