Act 3, scene 2: a hard case
lSALISBURY.
For
all the Welshmen, hearing thou wert dead,
l Are
gone to Bullingbrook, dispersed and fled.
l…
lRICHARD.
I had
forgot myself. Am I not king?
l Awake,
thou coward majesty, thou sleepest.
Is not
the king’s name twenty thousand names?
Arm,
arm, my name! A puny subject strikes
l At thy
great glory.
(III. 2. 73-86)
