Scene IIIA bedchamberEnter the King, Salisbury, Warwick, to the Cardinal in bedKing Henry VIHow fares my lord? speak, Beaufort, to thy sovereign.CardinalIf thou be’st death, I’ll give thee England’s treasure, Enough to purchase such another island, So thou wilt let me live, and feel no pain.King Henry VIAh, what a sign it is of evil life, Where death’s approach is seen so terrible!WarwickBeaufort, it is thy sovereign speaks to thee.CardinalBring me unto my trial when you will. Died he not in his bed? where should he die? Can I make men live, whether they will or no? O, torture me no more! I will confess. Alive again? then show me where he is: I’ll give a thousand pound to look upon him. He hath no eyes, the dust hath blinded them. Comb down his hair; look, look! it stands upright, Like lime-twigs set to catch my winged soul. Give me some drink; and bid the apothecary Bring the strong poison that I bought of him.King Henry VIO thou eternal Mover of the heavens. Look with a gentle eye upon this wretch! O, beat away the busy meddling fiend That lays strong siege unto this wretch’s soul. And from his bosom purge this black despair!WarwickSee, how the pangs of death do make him grin!SalisburyDisturb him not; let him pass peaceably.King Henry VIPeace to his soul, if God’s good pleasure be! Lord cardinal, if thou think’st on heaven’s bliss, Hold up thy hand, make signal of thy hope. He dies, and makes no sign. O God, forgive him!WarwickSo bad a death argues a monstrous life.King Henry VIForbear to judge, for we are sinners all. Close up his eyes and draw the curtain close; And let us all to meditation.Exeunt
