ACT III - SCENE III. Pomfret Castle.
RATCLIFF
1    Come, bring forth the prisoners.
RIVERS
2    Sir Richard Ratcliff, let me tell thee this:
3    To-day shalt thou behold a subject die
4    For truth, for duty, and for loyalty.
GREY
5    God keep the prince from all the pack of you!
6    A knot you are of damned blood-suckers!
VAUGHAN
7    You live that shall cry woe for this after.
RATCLIFF
8    Dispatch; the limit of your lives is out.
RIVERS
9    O Pomfret, Pomfret! O thou bloody prison,
10   Fatal and ominous to noble peers!
11   Within the guilty closure of thy walls
12   Richard the second here was hack'd to death;
13   And, for more slander to thy dismal seat,
14   We give thee up our guiltless blood to drink.
GREY
15   Now Margaret's curse is fall'n upon our heads,
16   For standing by when Richard stabb'd her son.
RIVERS
17   Then cursed she Hastings, then cursed she Buckingham,
18   Then cursed she Richard. O, remember, God
19   To hear her prayers for them, as now for us
20   And for my sister and her princely sons,
21   Be satisfied, dear God, with our true blood,
22   Which, as thou know'st, unjustly must be spilt.
RATCLIFF
23   Make haste; the hour of death is expiate.
RIVERS
24   Come, Grey, come, Vaughan, let us all embrace:
25   And take our leave, until we meet in heaven.
Exeunt
