    Summary

    KING RICHARD II

    Tell me lies; I beseech this of thee
    to tell me treason hath befallen me
    and truths are spared, as Bushy’s life was spared
    and Bushy yet may still return to me!

    SIR STEPHEN SCROOP

    As sov’reign liege, I cannot tell thee lies
    though ‘tis with sadness that I must refuse
    for doing so sham’st tender lips like mine
    which seldom speak a word with cause to bruise.

    KING RICHARD II

    Then be it true? ‘Tis so, that Bushy lies
    a traitor in the eyes of Bolingbroke
    and angel in the eyes of our fair Lord?

     

    An alternate reaction from Richard II to the death of Bushy in act 2 scene 3. Written in the style of the rest of the play in an attempt to practice my iambic pentameter verse.

    Summary

    In the year of our Lord 1422, in the Château de Vincennes near Paris, France, the King was dying.

    He knew it, though his lords and physicians were loathe to say as much. He knew it from the ache of his withering muscles; the roiling, burning, stabbing in his gut; the slow, dry burn of his fever; the stench of death that filled the room.

    Furthermore, Bardolph had told him so.
