Goe to the rude Ribs of that ancient Castle,

Through Brazen Trumpet send the breath of Parle

Into his ruin'd Eares, and thus deliuer:

Henry Bullingbrooke vpon his knees doth kisse

King Richards hand, and sends allegeance

And true faith of heart to his Royall Person: hither come

Euen at his feet, to lay my Armes and Power,

Prouided, that my Banishment repeal'd,

And Lands restor'd againe, be freely graunted:

If not, Ile vse th'aduantage of my Power,

And lay the Summers dust with showers of blood,

Rayn'd from the wounds of slaughter'd Englishmen;

The which, how farre off from the mind of Bullingbrooke

It is, such Crimson Tempest should bedrench
