of Gods handy-work—That excellent grand tyrant of the earth,That reigns in galled eyes of weeping souls! :;; * * * =:t for thine. Q. 3Iar. Bear with me ; I am hungry for revenge,And now I cloy me with beholding it.Thy Edward he is dead, that killed ray Edward ;Thy other Edward dead, to quit my Edward; Young York he is but boot, because both theyMatch not the high perfection of my loss.Thy Clarence he is dead, that stabbed my Edward ,And the beholders of this tragic play,The adulterate Hastings, Rivers, Yaughan, Grey,Untimely smothered in their dusky graves.Richard yet lives, hells black intelligencer—Only reserved their factor, to buy souls,And send them thither.
