To Richmond. Thou offspring of the house of Lancaster,
The wronged heirs of York do pray for thee:
Good angels guard thy battle! live, and flourish!
Enter the Ghosts of Rivers, Grey, and Vaughan.
[Ghost of] Rivers. [To King Richard.] Let me sit heavy in thy soul to-morrow, 140
Rivers, that died at Pomfret! despair, and die!
[Ghost of] Grey. [To King Richard.] Think upon Grey, and let thy soul despair.
[Ghost of] Vaughan. [To King Richard.] Think upon Vaughan, and with guilty fear
Let fall thy lance: despair, and die!— 144
All to Richmond. Awake! and think our wrongs in Richard's bosom
Will conquer him! Awake, and win the day!
Enter the Ghost of Lord Hastings.
Ghost. [To King Richard.] Bloody and guilty, guiltily awake;
And in a bloody battle end thy days! 148
Think on Lord Hastings: despair, and die!—
To Richmond. Quiet, untroubled soul, awake, awake!
Arm, fight, and conquer, for fair England's sake!
Enter the Ghosts of the two young Princes.
Ghosts. [To King Richard.] Dream on thy cousins smother'd in the Tower: 152
Let us be laid within thy bosom, Richard,
And weigh thee down to ruin, shame, and death!
Thy nephews' souls bid thee despair, and die!
