This I'rolooiie will have to be aoain .illiided
to with reference to the |)l;iysof Henry \'. and
Winter's T.ile. ( iitl'ord says th;it it was prob-
ably written in l.'ilMi, but does not appcir to
have been oi\cii to the press till H'llli; ,ind he
maint.iilis tli.it the references are not to Sli.ike-
speare's ]ilays, but to others; and that the
reference to )'()/•/• mill l.iiun'^frr.'t /oii'/ /</r.<
is to the old chronicle plays, that is to .s.iy, I
sii)iposi', to The ( 'diitcntioii and The True

of those plays. It is ipiite possible that (iitFord
ni.iy III' rio;lit. .-\t the same time, if Jonson
dill refer to .Sh.ikespciie's play.s, there is
nothino very malicious in such a reference.
It is ipiite possible that the two poets mioht
still be very 1,'ood friends, ;iiiil yet thoi-ouuhly
appreciate the \ery distinct qualities of each
other. In fact, as Sliakes|ie,irt' himself, in his
own I'roldoiic to Henry V. (spoken by the
Chorus), ridicules the sc;intine.ssof the devices
by which battles Were re])rescnteil on the
stajfc, he Would, jirobably, have not leifai'ded

for the tieiidish cruelty with which she tri-
miiplis o\er her ciiciiiy, ^'ork. .ilniost jiistities
th(^ .iliiise which is heaped upon her. Henry
alone ..taiids out, among the crowd of grasp-
ini:', inl I igiiing, and criiel nieii-slayers which
sinroiind him, gentle, merciful, thinking of
others i.ithei th.iii of himself, slii'inking with
horror from severity even to those who liad
deserved it; with a heart that Meeds for liis
country's misfortunes, that is not only wrung
with grief at the death of some friend of iiolile
liirth, liut overllows \\itli pity at the sorrows
(pf the ]ioorcst of his unhappy sillijects. Vet
Hei.iy lacks those ipialities wliich r.ircly, if
ever, coexist witli such a character; he has
neither lesolntion nor vigour tocii|)e with the
crowd of unscrupulous foes a round him. Timid
liv natni'c, and niorliiilly a\crse to e\erytliing
that wears the slightest appcaraiu f cruelty,
he yields when he should resist, entreats when
he should coniniand, and laments the crimes
that he ought to ]iunish. Aiiionu the minor
char.icters, Humphrey of ( iloiiccsti'r stands out,
pcrli.'ips,asthemost [inimiiu'lit ;we are intended
to admire him, lint the (inger-post which points
to his supposed good ipialities is rather too
olitriisive; and we fi'cl tli.it, in all the eloipient
speeches he makes on liehalf of his king, he
.says one word for his sovereign and three for
himself. Nor can we i|iiite yet over liist'oinhict
to liis dui'hcss; liaving raised her from sipine-
tliing worse tli.iii an insigiiiticniit position to
that of his wife, we feel tliat lieiiiiglit lie a little
moi\' indulgent to lier amiiitioii, wliich. is not
altogether .seltisli; and that, in the hoiirof her
huniiliation, lie might sympathize with her
more ;ind preach to her le.ss. Indeed, his con-
duct, after her performance of her painful
.ind ilcurading penance, almost prepares us
for his <i\Mi fate as an act of poetic ju.stice.
I''iuiires that, for the moment, attract our
sym|i.itliy and touch our hearts, like those of
the young K'ntland, or of Edward Prince of
Wales, or of r^ady (irey, tlitacro.ss the crowded
scene, and jire gone almost liefore we have
lime to ailmire them. It was inevitalile, jier-
lia|is, from the nature of the sulijeet, that the
interest should be dis.sipated among so many
characters, th.at neither pl.av seems to have anv
hero at all. .Margaret might lie made the
hei'oine; liiit the attempts, clever as they are.
that have lieeii ni.ide to invest one of the ni.ile
characters with par.iniount interest, have al-
nio.st ini'vitalily failed.
It may seem a strange thing to say, hut
tiiere is nothing more jiathetic in the.se two
play.s — except, jierliaps.tlie lieautifnl e]iisodi' of
the father and son. III. Henry \"l. ii. '<.
than the ali.seiice of one char.-ii-ter. whom we
should certainly li.ave e\peeled to ha\e .seen
taking a proinineiit p.nt in the slirring iiici-
deiits of those times, I mean Katharine, the
young and happy luide o(' lleiiry \ ., so soon
left ;i willow, with nothing Imt her inf.iiit
child to comfort her. ( Ine remeiiiliers the
hriglit scene of her courtship liy Ileiiiy
(Henry \'. .id v. scene :.'); one reads of the
enthusi.Msm .iml delight with which she w.is
Welcomed liy the people of Knglalid .as tin'
lieaiitiful young Inide of their genuinely lie-
loved kiii'4; one |iii-turcs the c.\ult,'iiit jiriile
with which, directly she w;is well enough to
tivivel, she hastened to rrance to show her
husliand their infant child, ;niil the joyous
days of festivity p,-isse(l there; then conns the
suihleii death of King Henry in the pride (.f
life, and the fair jiromise of h;ipiiincss is
lilighted for ever. For the first two ye;irs
K.ith.irine seems to have held licr )iioper
plai'c as mother of the young king; liiit when
the child was only tliri'e years old the inotln'i-
was depiisi'd, ,inil I ).inie .Mice IJoteiler was
a]i]ioiiited as governess of the inf.'int monarch.
The history of the young ruiecn-dow.iger's dis-
grace is shrimdeil in mystery; |irolialily lu r
attachment to (Jweii Tudor, whom she sulise-
ipieiitly tiKirried, wa.s thus early discovered.
iJiit from an liistoric.d ,is well .is from ,i dr.i-
ni.atic point of view her complete eti'acenieiit
is to lie imich regretted. The whole f.icc of
Knglish history might have lieeii changed, if
K;ithariiie could h.ive taken and held the
liosition which, of right, lielouged to her.
She li;iil the enormous .nh'.int.ige of her de.id

aiiutlier passage in tliis play, iii. 1. 101 ; " My lii\fci^l liege."
lie fre(|nently uses it in tlie phrase " 1 had as (((•/" = " I
,li..iilil lilve as niileli," '• I hiid as .soon." 'I'lie old genitive
plural uhier is never used by Sliake.speare in any other of
iiis plays. It is eoniinon in Chaiieer generally in eoiii-
position, in sueh words as alilcr-jiinl, uldci--hisl; and this
ve.-y word uhlcr-lic/fnt Chaucer uses in Troiliis and Cres-
-ida, iii. '210 ; " .Mine nlilfiici-nt lord." The more correct
fi.rni of this Kcnitive is alter. It is worth iiotinn that
in the lieaiitifnl letter (.f the Duke of Sntlolk to his sou
written on the day of his leaving; Kntjland (See I'astoii
Letters, vol. i. p. 121). he calls the kin;; "oure »/i(i/-((if us
:dl)niost hi^li and dredde soverey^'iie Lord." Aldri-lii/i'nt
is really-lhe German allfi'-oi'bst. Chapman uses this
word, very appropriately, ia his yrini tragedy, Alphoiisiis,
Miiiperor of (iermany, where he makes Hedevieli call
Prince Kdwanl " niein alleilicvest husband." (Act iv.)
Works, vol. iii. p. 203.
29. Lines 32-34.- Hall (p 20.^) thus describes MaiKaret ;
"This woman excelled all other, aswell in bcautie and
fniiur, as in wit and pidlicie, and was of stoinack and
cora^'e, more like at a man, then a woman."
30. Line 33: yclml- It is remarkable that .Shakespeare
does not use the prefix i/, except in this pnssajje and •'.
two jiassa^es in Love's Laboiii 's Lost, i. 1. 242: "it is
;(r/i>(( thy park," and v. 2. (i02, of same play, ".fudas
I am, i/i7(> i( XIaecaliieus." It is used in the first place
l.y Armado. and ill the second by Holofcincs. It wciiild
.-.r-iii as if Shakespeare looked upon the use of this jirellx
a> a mark of atfectation. It is a curious eireninstance,
and worlli noting; as a proof that his work on this play
lidiiiiKS to his early period, that both these words, i-clad
and nidi'r-lii'/t'sl, are not to be found in The Com 'iitioii,
but were added in the parts rewritten by Shake.speare.
31. Line 40: Here are the artuiexn/ rcntraeted peaee.—
llicse artiiles are not fjiveii in full by any of the idd
cliriiiiiclers; but Hall ,i,'ives the substance of them (p. '204):
"that the Diicliic of Aiiiow, and the eountie of .Mayiie,
should be released am; dcliucied, to the kyn;; her f.ither,
iliinaiindjiij; for her maria^'c, neither peny nor fartli.\ n;,';"
and further on he says tlnit certain ambassadors were
Stilt to Eii^'laml by the French kins, yhit, "after iiistrn-
niciites oil botlie parties, sealed and deliiiered, (not vn-
ivwardeil) returned into their eoiintrey."
32 Lines ;'.(). ,"il : It.'in, fliaf Die liuriiv (if Aiijiiv and the
foi.\iv (,/ Maine, ifce. - When the Cardinal reads the
liiipcr below (lines 57, 08) lie reads: "Item, it is further
amced between them, that the duchies of Anjou and
Maine," iVc. This is an obvious discrepancy, owins; to the
c:irelessiiess ill petty details which is very characteristic
of Shakespeare, It is useless to attempt to defend it
upon any dr.imatie cidunds as Clarke does. In the Old
I'lay what liloucester and the Cardinal both read is word
for W(ir(' 'he same. The simple explanation is that shake-
siieaiu corrected the nUl I'lay from the Cliidiiicles; in
the passage, i|iioteJ above, Hall calls it the cuiiiily of
Maine, and so, just before, he speaks of it under the
same name, and anaiii below, never calling it the diichji.
for it was not a diiehy. Kabyaii (p. fil.'^) speaks of -y
duchy of Aiij;e(iu, and y erlcdoine of .Mayne;" flo that,
so far from Shakespeare's object belli),', as Clarke saya
(vol. ii. p. arid), "to lieiKhten the elfect, according' to his
own characterisiic style, bymakill^' (■lo.ster litter lliesub-
staiiee of the item while ^iviiiK its form with verbal inac-
curacy," liloucester is the more accurate of the two.
Shakc.'pciire simply forKot to make the correction the
second time In the item as read by the Cardinal.
33. Line tl3: Thei/ iileuxe ».< well.— Lurd iiianinexi:, I, ,eel
Tlliil' down. The whole of this speech in The Contention
as far as line 70 is in prose. It ia a pity it was not left so.
I he next line (i4 is only made a verse by the insertion of
tlie wdi'd the, which comiiij,' after ^/icc is verycacophonons.
Were it not that iiianiiiens is invariably accented by
Shakespeare on the llrst .syllable, I .should propose to read
••1111,1 lord iiiar(|iiess kneel down." Tope would read
"kneel .vhk," Collier, "kneel thee." The objection to the
former is that, as Henry is speakinsj asakiiif; ton subject,
he would more probably use the second person sill^'ul»l■,
as he does in the rest of the sentence. The objection to
Collier's reading,' is that ^/o'c occurs in both the next lines.
It is not a matter of much importance; but it is just as
Well to make this line complete, as it is evidently an over-
sight of Shakespeare's licit 10 have done so: the word we
have .sn|j]ilied seems to us, for tlie reasons Kiveii above,
preferalile to other emendations,
34. Lines 71. 72;
ll'c thank yini all fur thin great faeunr done,
7/1 eiitertuinmeiit to mij priiirclii queen.
However unpopular the marriage of Henry w itii Maigarct
of Aiijoii may have been with a great many of the lords
about the king, she Inul no reason to complain of Iheco' l-
iicss of her icccptioii. Fabyaii, whom Hidiiished copies,
gives the following account of her conveyance from South-
wick to lilackhc;itli (p. (117): "And frcmi thciiii she was
hoiiouriddy eoniieyed by the lordes and estates of this
laiicle, which niette with her ill sondry phiccs, with great
retyncwe of men in sondry lyueryes, with tlieyr sleiiys
bidwcleryd, and some bct.Mi with goldsmythcs werkes in
nioste costly mailer; and specyally of the duke of (;|oU-
cester, niette with her with. v.C. men in one lynerey."
Hall makes no mention of this eircumstanee.

128 The trial of the Duehess of (lloiieestcr and her
aeconililiees really took plaee in the year 1441, or more
than three years hefore Kimr Henry was married. It
ajipears, fiom tlie aeeonnt of the all'air tiiven in I.in^ard,
tliat liolinu'hroke was first aeeiise neeronianey, and
•■exhihited with the instruments of i. ..rt to the ailmiriiif:
I'Mimlaee on a iilatform hefoi'e .st. Paul's, 'arrayed in
marvellous attire,' liearini; in his riu'ht hainl a sword, ami
in liis left a seeptre, and sittini; in a eliair, on the four
eornersof whieli were ll.ved four swords, and on the points
■ 'f tlie swords four imaiiesof eopper. The seeond niiiht
afterwards Dame Kleanor secretly withdrew into the
siiietiiary of Westminster, a ftep which naturally exeiteil
suspicion, ^lie w.is confronted vitli liidinnliroke, who
declared that it was at her instiiiatiou that he had first
applied to the stinly of uia.uie. From the iminiry which
fiiUowed, it appeared that Kleanor was a llnii heliever in
the mysteries of the art; that, to .seciiri' the alfeetiipii of
tlic duke, she had employed love potions furnished Iiy
Marjory .Tonrdemaiii, the eelelirated witch of Kye; and
tliat, to learn what would lie her siiliseipieiit lot (her liiis-
li.iiid was pre^nmiitive heir to the throne), she had
iliarirod ISoliie-'liroke to discover the duration of the kintis
life" (Vol. iv. p. 7:i). .loiirdemaiii or .loiirdain had lieeii
laeviiiiisly eonvieted of sorcery (see ahove. note '24). and
was, therefore, hnriit as "a relapsed witch." She and
tile duchess were arrai'.'ued hefore the ecclesiastical
court: and Suutliwell and llolinu:liroke were iuilictcd for
tivason. The foriner died in the Tower hefore his trial;
and lioliiiiihroke was convicted and executed (see l.inirard.

ViirNi;i;sT ilayx. This line has t.'iven rise to a great dctil
of discussion. Several emendations have heen jiroposed
for the word ymimjrxt. If we suppose lirr to hear the
.seiiseuiven it in thefootnote, and to refer to jd'i'i/c ( itn),
there is no dillicnlty. Certainly Eleanor hersidf could
not he said to he in her yniiiiiietit iliiiis; hut her priilc. or
amhition, niiiiht lie said to he so. The oliject of her con-
nection with the witch and with Pmliiinhroke was to at-
tain the (jreat aim of her anildtioii hy seeurin;; the sue-
eession to the crown for her hnsliand. The iiosition of
(ineen-eoii.sort would have lieen a far liiKlierone than she
occiijiied as wife of the Protector, especially as there was
no (lueen-dowaL'er at eonrf ; Katha) i le, the widow of
Henry V., as it may he remenihered, having formed a niua-
alliance with Owen Tudor.

215 Lines 2-4.- All the details given by Shakesiieare
as to the Ciirdinal's death are probably foimded on the
aeeount in Hall (pp. l!U), •-111) : " His couetous insaciable,
and hoiie of long lyfe, made hym botlie to forget Cod,
hys Pryiiceaml hjiu selfe, in his latter dales: for doctoi
Ihon I'.aki r his pryuie eonnsailer. and his chappelleyn,
wrote, that he lyeiig on his death bed, said these wordes.
' Why shimld I dye liauig so muehe ryches. if the whole
llealme woidd .saue my lyfe, 1 am able either hy pollieie
to get it, or by ryches to bye it. Kye, will not death he
hyered, nor will nnincy do nothyng'; when my nephew
of liedl'ord died, 1 thoipjht my sclfe halfe vp the wliele,
but wlieu I sawe myiie other nephew' of Cloucester dis-
eeased, then 1 thought my self .able to be eiiualc with
kiiiges, and so thought to eiicrease my treasure in hoope
to h;iiie worne a tryple Crouue. ]!iit 1 se now the woildo
failcth me, anil so I mn dcceyucd: praiyng you all to
jiriiy for me." It is doubtful i.hethcr there is really any
histurical fotuidation for this scene. Liugard thus speaks
of his death (p. ,S:'.); "That he exiiircd iu the agonies of
de>-pair, is .1 lletio,,, which we owe to the imagination of
.shakcspciire; fi.d. . an eye-witness we learn that during a
lingering illness he devoted most of his time to religious
exerci.ses. Aceonimg to the provisions of his w.o, his
wealth was chielly listributed in charit;dde ilon;itions;
no les.s a Slim than 'oiir thousand pounds was set aside
for the relief of the indigent prisoners in the capital; and
the hospital of St. Cross, in the vicinity of Winchester,
still exists a durable monument of his mimilicence "

308 Ihe ilramalist now passes over a eom-iilerable
interval of time. In July. UaU. .lack Cail v as taken ami
killeil. The battle of St Albans was fo .,'lit May -J-Jml,
I4.i.'i. Immeiliately after the suiipressioii of Caile's lebel-
lion York came over from Irclaml to Kiijilaml with 40011
men lleforeeil hiswayilitollcnrysiireseiice.aml lieliaveil
with ureat insolence. Having maile the kiiii; pronii.~e to
siiinnion a parliament, he retireil to his castle at Kotlier-
iimay. Immeiliately after this Somerset reluineil from
France; Imt. willi the ili.s^iace of Ihe loss of .Normanily
attaching to him. he coiilil do lint very little for the kiiin's
cause. I'he enmity between York and Somerset kept the
country in a constant state of agitation In 14.M York
raised another army i n (he pretext of ilefeatin^ the pro-
eeeilin^s of Somerset. He marched to London, but found
the nates shut ai.'ainst him. Thence he luoceeded to
Darlford in Kent, in the hope of beinu' joined by the
Kentish men. Henry followed him with his army, but no
collision took place. I'he ri'sult of the ne'.'otiations that
ensued was that Somerset was committed to prison; while
York disbanded his army and submitted to Henry. The
two rivals then met inthe|ireseneeof the kiie.', and abused
one anolher roundly. Immediately after this inteiview
York was arrested Henry refused to follow Somerset's
advice, which was that he should be \mt on his trial and
excculeil. York a;.'ain swore fealty lo the kiii);, anil a
peace was jiatcheil up between the rival parties, mainly
broii;;ht about by the news that the Karl of March was
advancing with an army to liberate his father. Ininn-
iliatcly after this two imiiorlaiit events ha]iiiened: one,
the fatal battle in which Talbot was defeated and slain,
and Oiiienne lost to the ICiiylish ; the other the birth of a
son to the kini; and ipieen. Tills last event would seem
to have put a stop to York's hopes of the succession. Kut
at this very time the health of the kinn, both mental and
hoilily, was such that a protectorate had tube aiipointed;
and York was chosen hy a eoniniittec of peers for the
otliee ; but the kiufr's riulits were preserved inviolate. Hy
the end of the year 14:'i4 Henry had recovered his health
and reason. ..\t the la uiiiiiim; of the next year, 14,''i,'p, he
jiut an end to the iiroteitorate, and liberated the iMike
of Somerset from the Tower. He did his best to recon-
cile the two dukes, and induce thou to submit their
claims to arbitration; but York, who had determineil to
provoke a civil war, colLcted to;.'ctlier his forces, and on
.May 22ml, the battle of .St. Albans was fou;.'hl.

it ;;ives a reason for the vengeance which yniuuj Cliji'nid

sh:iki>pcare should have allowed the lines, referring to
tlie death of Ctiffonl i|ilott'.l iiliove. to stand, is merely
aii'ilur proof of the carelessness with which he revised
ei' ailapted these plays.

liestroy the residew of his enemies" (Hall, p. 254). Kil-
ward in a few days niairhiMl northward to I'ontefiacl:
Henry and the ipieen lay at Voik. The fact that IMwaid
had been formally reconnii'ed as kin,;; before he set out
for the north is i^noied in the pl.iy.

lid, Sc.-ise on the shanicf.tst Henry. — IV -i..
The eolloiiny lietween Henry and Kxeter, which inter-
venes in l-'f., is not found in (^p. ami in neither is the
iday divided into acts or scenes. Mr. 1'. A. Daniel says:
"Contrary to modern iisa^'e, I divide act iv. se. viii. into
two scenes, assi^tniiiH; a sejiarate day to the latter half
(sc. viii. a). .\ly division is, perhaps, jiistilied hy the static-
directions such as they are of the Kolio and (Quarto:
the Kxiiinl of l-'olio and V.Kvnnl ihiiiu'k of (Jnarto whi. h
follow the ileparliire of Warwiek and the le-t, may mark
the termiiialioii of a scene, and thonf;h there is no direc-
tion niarkiiiu (he reentry of the Kin;; and Exeter, the
prohahility of the plot ahsolntely reiinires a separate
seene here; otherwise we have Henry ta'king of his forces
which are not yet levied as in existence, and lahvanl
speaklii)^ of Warwick, who has only just left the stat;i',
as now remaining at ('ovcntiy. I note that the Cain-
lirid^je editors, in their reprint of The True T'rayedy, iVe.
(the (Jnartii), mimher this scene of the seizure of Kin;;
Henry as a separate seene. 'I'lie ill contrivance of the
modern sc. viii. has notescaiied the notice of the eoin-
mentators; Init iierhajis editors are more resimnsilile for
it than tlie ilrainatist" (see Time-analysis, Ac , ji. ;i'21).
lint it may lie pointed out that Henry miitht n:itiirally
speak of the forces that were yoin^' to li);ht for him as in
existence, for Warwiek and the others were already in
command of a eonsideralile army; nor is il nnnatiirid
that Edward having' lieani of Warwick's iiiteiitiun to pro-
ceed to Coventry, niicht jiresiimc he was already at that
place. The eomiiression of historical events, neeessaiy
for the purposes of the sta^e, must jiive rise to many ini-
prohaliilities as far as lapse of time is eoneerned; and it
seems to ns that the dilliciilties mentioned liy Mr. Iiiinicl
are not ^'I'eater than the dillieiilly of snpiiosin;; that in
the interval hetween the exit and the immediate re-eii-
tranee of a character, foiees could lie levied, and Warwii k
eoiild have marched from London to Coventry. It mast
he I'emeniliered that the whole seene, as it stanils in our
text, evidenlly takes jilace in the palace, so thai the pic-
siiinpti'in is that it is continuous.

any y;ood in hei' character, liy his stren<;th of
will; and, having' won it, would retain it l>y
that innate ;,fentleness which all his well-acted
ecceiitri<ilies could not coni eal. The Kate of
the old play is a very ditl'eient ]ierson from
the Katharinaof Shakespeare. The speech,
in which the latter descrilies so eloquenth the
duties of a wife, is not more superior to the
<lreairy lioinily for whicli it was sulistituted,
than she is herself, in every ipiality of woman-
li 1, to hei- prototype in the older comedy.
The loves of l.ucentioaud I'.iaiica, of Horten-

creations in this line of cji.'iracter. I cannot
see why this play should lie called "an out-
rai;eous fari-e;" surely it is (piite as worthy of
the name of comedy as many plays so calleil.
JsThe .Merry \Vi\esof Wind.sor to lie sti;;ina-
tized as a fane, liecause it is full of practical
jokes:' If Tohin's Honeymoon he diirjiitied
with the title of a comedy, surely a pla\
which is on the .same sulijeet, and is mudi
more cleverly treateil, should not lie siieei-
iiiely spoki'ii of as "oiitrai.'eous farce.'' It is
a jfieat jiity that, in re])resentin;; this play
upon the staiic, most mana;.'crs should have
lionet hei rl lest todeyiade Shakespeare's work;
and to exclmle carefully from the comedy all
the refinement with which he had so charac-
teristically endowi'd it.
liiit .someone has lieeii found, at last, with
conrajie enouch to follow the footsteps of
I'laiieho and Welister. Mv. .Anuustin J)alv
has produced this play at his theatre in New
York, retainin^f the Induction and the
comedy .scenes, with -I am happy to say
the ;:reatest siicees.s. His edition of the
play lias lieen privately printed; and in the
words of the introduction, wiitten liy tliat
accomplished critic Mr. William Winter, "this
liiiok will serve to show that in .Mr. Daly'.s
present revival of 'The Tamin^'of the Shrew'
a careful and thoinrhtful efl'ort is made to do
alisolute justice to the orii;iiial piece. " I\lr.
I)aly, wisely considering.; that the omissioii nf
pr<i]ier scenery was hy no nutans e.s.sential,
has mounted the play with lilierality ami
jfood taste. The fact that the comedy, as
represented liy .Mi'. Italy's company, ran t'ur
more than a hinidred ciinsecuti\e ni;,dits in-
deed it has proved one of his createst linamial
successes may, perhaps, eUcoiiraL'e otluT

And with the clamour keep her still awake. :;io

This verb has apparently more than <iiie incaning; but
that it had the sense of " to check, to restrain. " sceiiis
clear from a |iassage in Ilainmond's Works (Vol. i. p. i:l)
iinoled in Kichardson's Dictionary: "That this eoiitni-
riety always interposes some objections to hinder or ^rnJi
you from tloiiig the things that you would, /..'. sometimes
the Sjiirit tra-thrx yim from doing the thing that the Spirit
would have done.' Shakespeare uses this verb, undoubt-
edly, in Tempest, i. 2. sO, Sil:

The sense is variously intcrprdcd by comniciit;itors; but
"to restrain" wdiild seem to suit the context better than

fub riicv. As to the objection, made by c'ldlier, that a
hound who was ciiibn.i^i'il, it: "foaniing at the nioutli."
would neeil no lestiainiiig, it may be regarded as an oli-
jei tioii worthy of the 'Old Corrector:" a dog of sjiirit is
no less inclined to hunt because he is tired. Craf/i can
make no .sense, however the jiass.'ige be stojiped; because
the next line goes on to tell what is to be ilone with
VliiinU-i-; .Im? fiiiijile CIdirilci; implying that some direc-
tion Iniil been given in the previous line as to .Mcniiiiini.
The copyist, or eoiniiositor, jirobably caught the word
/Siarli from the last word of the next line above men-
tioned.

IIKIIK, --The expression, humiin mvilah, has };iveii rise to
an interesting iniiuiry as to whether (ilieroii and Titania,
and all their fairy subjects, were supposed to beinimortid
or not. Some commentators have thoiiuht that theiiuali-
flcation of murliih by the adjective human implies that
Titania beloii^ted herself to a race of mortals; that is \-
say, beings siilijcct to death, and so she distiiiKUi.slied men

self to be immortal. That some fairies were held to l/e
mortal is clear from the well-known .:tory, };iveii in the

miliar term of address, and meant little more than "jolly
'■oiiipanion." In fact, it seems to have lieeii originally
used among lioon comiianioiis; and aflerwanls to have
ac(|uircd its jiresent meaning of an overhearing hei'toring
fellow; then hy a process of degrailation, common in
many words, it came to he aiiplicd to a coarse and cruel
coward. The derivation is very uncertain; some coimect
it with "bull," "bellow;" others with Middle High
fieriuan btiole, "brother," "dear friend;" others with
Dutch ')»?(f(')VH." to bluster." Ilalliwell (Diet Archaic and
I'rovinciid Words) says hulbj-buttum meant a courtezan.
Shakespeare never uses it in an olfcnsive .sense. ( 'ompare
Henry V. iv. 1. 4S; " I love the lovely IntlUj," where I'istol
uses it of the king; recalling his (|U:ilities as a boon com-
jianion before he put on virtue ami the crown together.

panion," or "comrade," coni)iare Dicke of Devonshire,

xi. of I'liny's .Natural History (Ilidland's Translation, ■.
.".1(1) llie use of tlie word Ihick-^kin, as it is employed by
Shakesjieare, is explained: "Some measiire not the flne-
ne.sse of spirit and wit by the puritie of blond: but suj)-
pose that creatures are brutish, more or lesse, accmiling
as their *.*//! is, r/o'ci-cr or thinner . . . And hereto they
bring men also, as a proofc, who aro Ihicke Kkitiiied, and
more brawnie; for to be more gros.se of sence and nmler-
standing" I'liny does not seem to agree with this idea,
for he adds: "as who would say, thit Crocodiles were
not very wittie ami indnstiioiis, and yet their Khiti is hard
ynough."
As to the use of the wonl xnri for "company," there are
many instances to be foiiml in which this sense fits the
■word; but it is doubtful whether, in all these instances,
the sense of kind, or sjiccics, or race, would not meet the
requirements of the case ecpially well, (■onipare, how-

"It may be doubted whether this passage has been
rightly exiihiined, and whether the conimentators have
not given Shakespeare ereiiit for more skill in heraldry
than he really pnssessed, or at least than he intended to
exhibit on tile present ncea-imi. ILIeii s:iys, 'we had
two seeming liodies, but only one heart,' She then ex-
einplilles her position by a simile 'we had tu:j of the

LITERARY HISTORY.

at tlie siifiie of the .Vn.yvl. I 1,')<»7 , {i}. 1).
The next edition {(^i) was jnililislied in
J.'iltH, when the author's name was fii-st added:
"A// \Villl<(,a S/iiih'-tijii''in:" The third edition
(<J. 3) was pul)li.Hhed in 1(;08:
Printed liy W. AV. for .Unf/nir Lkh; and are
to lie I sold at his .slujp in Paules Churcli-yard,
at ; the signe of tiie Foxe. i 1(!08. |
Of tliis edition tlure was ,a second issue in
the same year w itii the followin^^ title-page:
The I Tragedie of King | Hiehard the Se-
cond: I witli new additions of the I'arli.i- j
iiielit Seeaiie, and tlie deposing j of King
liichard, | A.s it liatli been lately acted by the
Kinges I ]\[aiestie.s Seriiaiite.s, at the (ilobe. \
lly Will Ik, H S/uriv-Kj/cn-': ' .Vt Loudon, |
i'rinted by \V. W. for .]/.,//„■„■ f,,ur, and are
!o i be sold at his shop in I'anles Chnreli-yard,
at th" Signe of the Foxe. 1(508. ]
A lifth edition ((^). 4) was published in ir.l.J:
tile title-page w;is .substantially the same a.s
tli;it of the second i.ssue of the List edition,
except tliat it is stated to be '-Printed for
The ( '.imbridge F.ditors say: " F^aoli of the.se
^Miartos was printed fr'-'iu its imnu'di.ate pre^
deci,'ss(jr. The third however contaiu.s an
important addition, found in all the extant
copies of (,». 3, amounting to Kir) lines, viz.
act iv. se. I, lines ir)4_;MH. Tliis is what
is meant by 'the new additions of the I'.iili.i-
iiielit Scene' mentioned in the title-pages of
some copies of (^). .'5, and in that of (,). 4. Thi.'.se
' licw.idditioiis'are found also in the first and
following Folios, and in (^). .5. The play, as
given in the first Folio, was no doubt printed
from a copy of (^). 4, corrected with some cai-e,
.111(1 prepared for stage representation. Sever.d
jia.ssages have been left out with ;i view of
shortening the iierforniaiice. In the 'new
.•idditions of the Parliament scene' it would
appear that the defective text of the (Jii.irto
had been corrected from the .■uitliors .^^S. For
fhis part therefore the fii'st Folio is our highest
authority: for all the rest of the jil.iy the first
Quarto affords the liest text." (Cambiidge
Kdn. Vol. iv. Jiage ix.)
The fifth edition ((,)..")), l(i;J4, was jiriiited
from the Second Folio; biit, as the Cambridge
Fditois remark: "its I'e.idings sometimes agree
with one or othi'i' of the earlier (,»uart(i.s, and
ill a few ciscs ;iie entirely ilidepelidi'llt of
previous editions." 'I'he title-page is siibst.in-
ti.illy the .same as tli.at of the two la.st e(litioiis
except that it was '• Printed by lohn Xoi ton.'
Shakespeare .seems to have taken his ma-
terial chiefly from llolin.shed's Chronicles,
which he follows indeed \ cry ( loselv; foi .some
touches he may li.ix'e been indebte(l to Hall.
.Missis. ('I.iik .iiid Wiii:lit. in their pi-ef;ice to
this play (Clarendon Piisss Series), saV that it
is evident th.it Sh.ikespe.ire "used the .second
iditioii of llolinshed. ]niblished in 1."i«<;-7,
from the fact tli.at the withering of the bay-
trees (ii. 4. 8) is recorded in th.itcditioii alone,
.111(1 not ill the first of I.JTT."

tile evil intliiences of favourites, would recall
to the audience tliosi' i;-rie\aiices which the

only fact therefc e that really militates against
the theory that the play represented was
Shakespeare's Hicharil Jl. is the fact that
l*liilli]ips describes it as ".so did and .so loni^
out of use.' lint is it not likely that a fellow-
]ilayer of Shakespeare iiiii.;ht be i,Miilty of a
little e.\a<,'e^erat ion on such a subject, and iiii;;ht
not be sorry to take tlu' opportunity of de-
preciatinif his fellow -actor's Jilay? (Mi the
whole, then, I confess f cannot see any jiionf
that the play lepri'seiited at .Merrick's iiisti-
jiation was imt Shakespeare's; while, from the
description j;ivi'ii of it, there is extry reason
to sii|i|iose that it was.
With re^'ard to the second play on the
subject of liichard 11. its existence a]i])eais
only to be known from the |)iary of I)i'. Simon
Korinali, who witnessed at the ( ilobe Theatre,
H'll 1, a jilay called liiehaid 11. whii-li he says
bey.'in with Wat Tyler's rebellion. From the
points in the play noted by Formaii, and the
names of the ch,-iracteis which he ,L;i\('S, it is
e\idenl that this play could not li.'ive been
Sliakespeare'.s. In .some respects it seems to
have been based upiiii the old play of The Life
and Ih'.ith of Jack Straw, I.'iiKJ (.see I lodsley's
Old I'lays, vol. v.); but a jjreat many of the
incidents mentioiud are not f.iiind in th;it

ill the character of the (iardeiier— .serves J
to relieve the iiietiire. To coinparo .such a !
play ;i.s this with Iviiil; John nr Jlenry IV. •
oi, indeed, with any of the other historical
plays, except the first jiart of Henry Vf., is an |
idle t.'isk. What is there ill Richard H. tli;it !
1.111 toiii'h the wiiiiderful patlids of ( 'diist.iliee;
ilie ,'iilniir;dile wit and audacity of the i»as- i
lard; the .sjirdoiiic strength and titanic villainy
"f Ifichard III.; to say iiothini; of that mas- '
(t'r])icce, Henry V., every jiage of which
alioiinds in loiiclies of genius which we lool.
for in v.'iiii in this play !
.Much emphasis h.is already liei n laid upon
the political character of this play; and, per-
hap.s, in estini.iting it as a dram.itic work it is
only fair to coiisiiler th.it Shakespeare, when
ciiinpiling it t'loni llolinsliid, with or witlioiit
the aid of an ulder |il;iy on the s.ime siilijecl,
li.'id in his mind more the writing of a political
Hitire in a dr.imatie furni, th.ni the constriu-
tioii of a sti'iiiig play from historical material.
.\lthoiigli We ha\(' no letters, nor essays, nor
journals of ."sli.ikispe.i.e's iiolhing Imt his
poems .'ind iliMliialie works, liy which to read
the hist v of his inlelli'ctiial growth yet we
kl iw th.it he iniist have lieeii Imt only .1 close
dli.,crver of hiim.'in nature and life, Imt a pa-
tient gatherer of .ill materials at his eoinmand
for the study of hiini.'in chiir.icdi. The his-
tory of the reigns of <j>llei'll .M.liy . '11111 <^>llei'll
Klizalieth must have lieeii toleialily familiar
to liim, at least from oral tradition; iinil it is
piolialile that, in writing IJiclianl II. he was
thinking of those spasmodic conversions ,'iiiil
(■onviil..ive alt.uks of loyalty, to which iii.iny
st.'itesnieii .'iiid courtiers fell victims in those
two reigns.
The (h.ir.icter of 'I'mk, certainly, when
studied clo.sely, excites our contempt and de-
testation; Imt it may he tliiit, in the very
gid.ss ineonsistelicies which li" disjilays .'it one
inoiiieiit leiiiiking his .sovereign with dignitied
courage for his many faiiiis, the next acceiiling
fnmi that sovereign the very greateat ])ositi(iii

tli.it trust shortly afterwards, ;it the .s.ime time
tli.'it he 1,111111'hcs stern relmkes ag.iinst the
relii'l IJoliiigliroke; lost in .•idmiration at the
majestic appcar.'ince of his lawful sovereign in
the midst of his misfortunes (iii. .'{. ()(i-71),
while making himself, shortly after, the com-
plaisant licarer of tli.it sovereign's unwilling
resignation, and urging him, it would almost
.seem, to tli.'it disholiuuralile cimrse; tin;illy,
throwing himself into a p.iioxysm of viiliious
indignation liccanse he finds his son has lieeii
jilolting ag.'iinst the successful usurfier; clam-
ouring for the lilood of that son, unmoved by
the sight of the \eepiiig mother wlio ))le!ids

the play opens, 131(7, the Duke of tihmeester had heen
murdered (see note :i7); and, as .Mr. Unssell I'-reneh re-
marks in his Sliakspeariana tJeneiilogiea, it was this
••deed of erime which in a Kl^'iit measure led the way
to the eomplicatioiis, and tinal catastn.plie, vectuded
in th,' drama" (p. '21). Kieliard was twice married: llr.st,
on .laniiary 14th, i;!.v2, to Anne of Bohemia, known as
The (iood Queen Anne, daii:.;hterof Charles IV., Kmpeior
of (ierniany. she died without issue on .lime 7lh, l:»»t.
In Nnvemhei', ISlMi. he married Isahel, who was then in
her tenth vear. The date of Kin- Itichard's death is
nencially ll'xe.l on the 14tli Kebniary, 14oo, St. Valentine's
day; hut the . xact date, and the manner of it, are hotli
uncertain (see note ;'.17).
2. .loiiN oF{i.u\T(Mr(lhenn, so called from the town
in which he was horn, in i:UO. Duko of Lancaster, was
the fourth soi; of Edward 111. The first mention we find
of him in history is as accompanying liis father-lii-law,
Henry. Duke of Lancaster, and his brother Lionel, in the
llect which was prepared for the purpose of attacking
the coast of Normandy in lli.W. Next we llnd liim, as
Karl of Uichmond, accomiiauyiuK Ids father to Calais in
the Michaelmas of the same year. ILdinshed (vol. ii. p.
(!,->()) says: "This ycare also, about .Michaelmas^^e. the
kill).' hauiiis summoned an armie to be veadie at S;ind-
wich. jiassed oner to Calls with the same. There went
oner wilh him his two soniics, Lionell of Antwerp earle
of Vlster, and .lolin of liaiit earle of Uichmond." lu
May, Li.V.i, he married his cousin, the Lady lilandi, daii^di-
terof Henry, Duke (.f Lancaster, at Ueadinj:, havin;.' ob-
taincil a ilisiiensatloii from the poiie. In the same year
he distiii:;uished himself, ill the company of his father
and his brothers, Lionel and Kdniund, at some "scdemne
insts enterprised at London" (llolinslied, V(d. ii. p. 1171).
At this time he was still known as Karl of liichmoiid;
but on the death of his fatlier-in-law Henry, Diike of
Liincnster, in l;!ia, he succeeded to his titles of Karl of
Derby and Duke of Lancaster. He accompiinicd the
Hlaek ITim e in his expedition into .<pain in i:i07, and
emnniaiided the lirst division of his army. He was sent
by his fallier in llVi!" in command of an aimy into Kiance
to oppose the Diikeof linrKundy. lu i;i70 his wife lilaneh
died 111 the sar.. year he took part in the sieyo of
452
and was left (ioverimr of Aipiitainc
Lilllo;
lllatk Trince dnrint,' his visi
l.y the
t to Kn.L;laiid. In i;i7-2 he
married Coustaucc, eldest daughter of I'eter the Cruel,
Kins of Castile; his brother Kilmund, Karl of Cam-
bridge, marryiim' her sister l.sabel about the .same time.
Shortly after this marriag" lie returned to Kngland, and
assumed the title of King of Castile ill right of his wife,
lu July, l:i7:i, he was again sent over to Calais with an
army. He reached liordeaiix at Christmas in the same
year, when peace was couclmled; and in July, the fcdlow-
iiig year, he returned to Kngland. He was one of the
eoinmissioneis appointed to ai range a treaty of peace
with fraiiee on behalf of the King of Kngland at liiugcs,
i;i7,">. In l;i7ti the House i>( Commons maile a comiilaiiit
against the Duke ipf Lancaster, Lord Latymer, Alice I'er-
rers, ami others; and they all apjiear to have been ban-
ished the ecaivt; but, aft.r the death of the lilack Prince,
in June of the same year, they were recalled to eomt;
and the Diike of Lancaster being aiipointed (loveruor of
the Uealm, eontinued so till the end of his fathers reign.
Having t;ikeii AViclilf under hi^ |irotection, he sniiiioited
him in his trial before the Archbishop of Canterbury in
the iie.xt year, lo77. In the course of the trial he ad-
dressed a very rude speech to Courteiiay, JJishoii of
London; the people took the bishoii's pait, attacked the
duke's palace in the Savoy, reversed his aims, as if he
had been a trait.u-, and would have killed him if they
could have caught him. John of liaunt did not foigct
this insult: and for scmie time there was ill blood betw e>'ii
him and the citizens of London. The dispute bctwieii
them was put ail end toby the young king Jtuhard. iii
]:i77. In i;«)4, Constance, the second wife of John of
t, died about the same time that the (iood tjueeii
1 also Hie wife of Henry I'.oliiigbroke. Hi
t:!l«l the .hike married Catherine Kwynford, " widow of
.Sir Dies Swynford, ami ehlest daughter and co-heir ot
Sir I'ayn Uoet. Knight, fUiienne King atArms" tKiench,
p ■<■,) The marriage gave great otlcnce, as she had lived
with him as his mistress. The children lie had by her
before his marriage were legitimatized under the name of
lieaiifort, mie of the duke's castles in Anjou, where they
were horn " Time-liomuired" J.din of Oaiiut seems to
have maintained the chief power in the kingdom for the
first twenty years of his nephew 's reign. In KillO lie luul
heen made Duke of Aqiiitaine. After the death of the
Duke of (iloiieesU.r, ill i;!l>7, the Duke of Lancaster and
hislirotlier, the Dnkeof York, assembled an army of their
depemlants with the intention of revenging their bro-
ther's death; but they were rec.neiled to the king before
aiiv collision conid take place. The banishment of liol-
ingbroke in V.VM showed that the king did not forget his
grudge against his uncle; and how little good feeling lie
,„„.e him was further manifested by the nnjustillalde
seizure of his goods immediately after his death, which
took place at the I'.ishop of Kly's idace in Ilolborn early
in the following year, V.W'X John of (iannt w:.s the

lioliic'broke (so called fimn his birtbidacc, lioliiigbroke
Ci^^tu'in Lincolnshire), son of .lohii of (Jamit by Blanch,
daii-hter of Heiirv, Duke of Lancaster. He was born in
l.Siili, and was therefore of the same age as King Uichard.
It appears that thev were rivals in ( hildhood as through
life. Kreiich says (p. 2.i) •Uichard accused his cous ii
of havin.' drawn ^worll upon him even in his (piecii s
chamber, and lioliiigbroke told the king that the peoidc
believed him to be the son of a priest, and not of the
lilack IViiice." (See note err. ) }Ie was created Karl of
Durbyby nichard II., in l::S,^., ami HiiUe of Ilerefoid in

of Humphrey ISohun, Karl of Hereford. He was (Uie of
the live lords appellant in KW.
6 F.PWARIi rr.ANT.VCF.NF.T, eldest son of the Duke of
York, was created Karl of Untland in 13Mi, ami Duke of
Aunierle (.\lbeiiiarle) in i:!:i7 He appears to have been
iilw.iys plotting anil intiiguing against some one or other,
lie took a very pi-oiiiinciit part in the overthrow of the
Diikeof (iloueester ill 13«7, and was, indeed, suspected of
being implicated in the mnnler of that nobleman. He ac-
companied King Uichard in Ills unfoitunateexpeditiim to
Ireland in i;i'.Hi; and it "as owing to his urgent persna-
sioiis that the king delayed crossing over to Eimlaiid im-
Di-.uiiatis IVisoii.c.
mediately he received the news of Holingbroke's landing
at Uaveiispnr. The coiiseipnnce of this delay was that,
after waitiiiga fortnight, the army collected at Conway for
the kingdisliamled, wlieii all hopes of Uichard saving las
crown were destroyed (see note ls7). Anmerle was, how-
ever, soon idotling against lioliiigbroke. lie was degraded
by Henry IV. to his former rank of Earl of Uutlaiid ; but
vv'as siiliseiiuently restored to favour ami succeeded his
fatlier as Duke of York, under which name he will be
found among the Dramatis IVi.somc of Henry V. He was
killed at the battle of Agincourt ill 141;.. On the occasion
of the listshcld at Coventry for the decision of the appeal
between lioliiigbroke and Norfolk, Anmerle wa.s acting
as Lord High Constalile.
6. Tliovus Ml. WHI!.^V. created Earl of Nottingham, 13S3,
ami Duke of Norfolk, 1 :l'.i7, ill virtue of his descent from
Edward the I'irsfs younger son, Thomas of llrotherton,
Earl of Norfolk, Earl Marshal of England. His grand-
father, John de Mowbray, married the Lady .loan Plau-
ta-cnct, daughter of Henry, Earl of Lancaster, ami sister
of"tlie first wife of .folin of (ianut. His father, the fourth
Lord Mowbray, married Elizabeth Scgrave. only (laugh-
ter .ind heir of .Tohii. Lord Scgrave. by his wife, Miirgiiiet
Vlaiitageiiet, Duchess of Norfolk, the eldest daughter of
Thomas of llrotherton; so that thisTlioni;is Mowbray was
doubly connected with the l'laiit;igenet family. He was
one of the live lords, who, in conjunction with the Duke
of (iloueester, accused llobcrt Ycre, Duke of Ireland, and
other favonrit(^sof the king, of treason; in the same year,
i:i.S8, Kieliard in a pioclamatiou aeiiuitted tlieiu of
treason, and took both parties, accusers and accused,
under his protection. The live lords, win. were called
lords appellant, of ^^llom lioliiigbroke was one, ultimately
gained the dav, and their enemies were attainted of
treason by what was known as the Womlerfnl Uailiaiiient
in i;.ss; and Tiesilian, chief-justice, and others were exe-
cntod. At the instance of the Dukes of Lancaster and
York, the king and the live lords were reconciled in Ki'.W;
but Mowbray seems to have separated himself fn.m the
Duke of (lloucestcr's faction, for he was sent as Earl
Marshal by the king to Calais, after the arrest of the
Duke of Gloucester, as Hidiiished says (vol. ii. p. 8;i7),
" to make the duke secretlie awaie." It is doubtful, how-
ever, whether Mowbray really had any share in the death
of (iloueester, although there was some (piestion as to at-
tempting to pniii.h the earl marshal tor his supposed com-
plicity in that mysterious crime. In i:i'.)8, at the Parlin-
nieiit held at .shrewslmry, Henry lioliiigbroke accused
Mowbray of tieason. It is at this point that the play
commences. Norfolk died in IIWO (see note 2(!2). Uy his
second wife, Eli/abeth Fitzalan. daughter of the Earl of
Arundel, who was executed in 1307, he had two sons,
Thomas, the Lord Mo" bray of the Second Vart of King
Heiirv IV , and .lohn Mowbray, who was restored to his
father's (li..;nitv as Duke of Norfolk, ami who is grand-
father of the Dnk-e of Norfolk in the Third I'art of King
Henry VI. His eldest daii,uhlcr, Marg;iret, married sir
Kobeit Howard. Their son is the '•.lockey of Norfolk"
in Richard III.

12. (il;t;i;N wnsSir Ili'nrijVrecn, Son of Sir Henry tireen,
•lustice of Hie King's Ilcncli, in the reign of Kdward III.
He is first nieiitioiied in connection with the horrible
death of the Carmelite friar who. in ]y»;!. accused the
iJuke of Lancaster of treason. This friar was eoinm.tted
to tlie charge of Lord .lolm Holland, the king's half-
brother, and was by him, and air llcmii O'icr/i, brutally
miirdered in prison before any judicial impiiry into t!ie
truth of his statements (see Holiii.-hed, vol. ii. p. Ttili).
(u-i'cn, r.agot, and liiishy were the three proloeiitors who
••set foortli the kiiig'.s greeuanees" (Holin.shed, vol. ii.

••kiii^.:hts of the Hath, against whom the eomiiions vn-
doiilitedlie bare great and priuie hatred." In the Kgertou
MS. play, amn is killed by the lOarl of .-Xmndel and Sir
Thomas Cheney after the murder of tiloucester. He was,
in reality, executed with liiishy lit Berkeley Castle in lyji).
13. K.MII, OF Nol!TIIlMIlKllI..\Nn. He was the son of
Henry Percy, who was the son of the third iiaron Percy of
.■\liiwi.-k, one of the heroes of Cressy. He mariieil Mary
Plantagenet, youngest daughter of Henry, Karl of Lan-
caster. He was created Karl of Northumberland at
Hichard's coronation in L'.TT. He took a prominent part
in lioliiigbroke's rebellion; but afterwards, with his son
Hotspur and others, rebelled against lloliiigbroke who
had then become Henry IV. After the death of his son
at the sanguinary battle of Shrewsbury on .Inly •Jlst, Mo;i,
by a submission not very honourabli^ to himself, he ob-
tained panloii, and was restored to his estates. But in
Jlay, HO.'), in conjunction with Archbishop Scrope,
Thomas .Mowbray, E ill Marshal (son of the Duke of Nor-
f(dk meiiuoneil in this play), Xorthnmljcrlaiid again raised
tlie standard of rebellion. This time the attempt was
ipiite abortive, and in eoiijimctioii with Lord Bardolf he
escaped to Scotland, where he led a precarious life, till
on Kelirnary loth, 14US, having again app.'ared in anna,
lie was killed at the battle of Braniliam -Moor, near Tad-
caster.

teiienl to sieret and elo.se imprisonment; and he was ;
deprived of his bishopiie, and sent to the 'lower for his
attaehmeiit to his ill-fated master" (Kreiieli, p. as). " He |
was eommitted to the Tower, but was liberated on the |
23d of June, 1100, an<l delivereil into the eiistody of the ;
Abbot of Westminster. He was pardoned and allowed i
to go at large on -Jstli .Nov. 1 lUO. On blth Aug. 1101, he
was presented liy the Abljotof Westminster to*he reetory

aii.Cneeord'ing to Freiieli (p. 38); " it is expressly stated
in the writ for his enlargement, iliited at Westminster,
November '28, 1400 (Kymer's Fiedera), that 'nioinas Merk,
late liishopof Carlisle, was pardoned on aeeouiit of the
exeellenee of his elmraeter."
19. .VliliiiToK WKST.MINSTKIt. This ceeleslastie has geiie-
rallv been supposed to have been Williani of C.deliester;
iHit'FrenelKp .'i'.b thinks that " the ablmt who took part
in tlie latter seeiies of this (day was his sneeessor, Uichard
Haroiindi'ii, or Harwedeii." Dart in his History ami Anti-
•inities of the Abbey Chnr.li of St. Peter, Westminster,
after speakim,' of the date of the death of William of
Colrhester, whiih he states was niuertain, says; -Itiehard
Haronndeii is next nam'd, of whom we know iiothiir-'
eertain, but during this interval of Darkness I find the
year before the Deposithin of ISieliard II. the Abbat of
Westminster attending Uiehaid II. into Ireland, and
after his Kjtnrii appointed with others to go to him ill
the Tower, eoneeriiing his Uesigiialioii ; and soon after
.■oneern'd at his Usage, joind with the Dnkes of Kxeter,
Snirev, and Anmaile, Ae the I'.ishop of Carlisle, and
priiiei"p:illy the Aldiat of Westminster, had an nneommoii
aversion to Henry IV,, for that when the Eail of Darby,
h,. had deelaied the Cleigy had too mueh, and the King
too little; bnt I rather think out of a true Loyalty to
release theil eaptiv'd Sovereign, but this being diseovel'd
and several exeeilted the Abbat III d fnon his .Monastery,
and dying of an Apople.v, eseap'd pnbliek lAeeiition
This Ilaronnden I take to be the Man whom the Monks
privately buried without Tomb or Inseriplioii; nor do we
know in what part of the Clinreh they laid him probably,
for Fear; but as I am not eertain, I leave it doubtful"
(vol. ii. p .xxxii. ed. ITI'2). Thisjiassage isipioted by Freiieh
but with many inaeeiiraeies. I have traiiseribed it from
Dart's work. As Fiemli gives it, it makes perfiet non-
sense ; and it must be eolifes.sed that, even when eorreetly
quoted, it is far from intelligilde. The writer aiipaieiitly
means to say that this lUehard Harwedeii joined in Aii-
merle's eonspiraey, not so mueh out of hatred to Henry
IV. as from a f.eling of loyal sympathy for the depo.sed
and imprisoned Itiehard. When the eonspiraey was dis-
covered, the alibot lied; and afterwards died a mitnral
death from aiio|,lexy. This tallies to ii eertain e.xteiit
with Shakespeare's iieeonnt (v. (i. l',l-'21);
The Kr.ilul conspirator, Ahb'it uf Wchtniiiisler,
With cloK of tuniticiii-i; ami si.ur iiieLniclioly,

It would aiipear Hiat there is a great diserepancy between
! the ditferent authorities as to the date of William of C"l-
I ehester's deatii ; and. on the whole, it seems most pro-
' liable that the Abbot, mentioned in this play, was Kieliard
Ilaronnden. lioth (iraftoii and Uapiii agree that this
Abbot of Westminster, who jdayed such an important
: part in Aninerle's eonspiraey. died suddenly of a tit; and
Uiis eorresponds both with .-Shakespeare's aieount. and
with that given by Dart, of Haroiind, n's death. If the
-\bbot of this plav was William of Col.hester, it is, as
Ki eiieh points out, very unlikely that he would have been
allowed to eseape nnimnished, und to continue in the
enjoyment of his liiyli olUce for fourteen years after his
having taken iiart in sncli a eonspiraey. It is also re-
markable that none of the historians mention that Wil-
liam of Colchester died eitlier a vi.deiit, or a sudden
death.

34, Lines ll-li; Coleridnc says |l,i ctiirc^ upon ."^liakc-
speaie, iVc. (edii. ls4H), vol. i. iip, 17". 1711, "the rhymes
in the last si.\ lines well e.xjiress the piecoiuerledness of
lii)lini.'hroke's .scheme, so heaiitifnlly contrasted wilh the
vehemence and sincere irritation of .Mowlnay." Surely
this is very far-fetched. The rhymed lines are, as wu
know, characteristic of Shakespeare's earlier style; cer-
tainly these si.\ are aiming those which make us suspect
that Shakes|ieare worked, partly, from an older and infe-
rior play. It may he well tu mite that, in the historical
account, r.olinKhroke's conduct in accusinj; the Duke of
Norfolk was far from credilahle to him. 'I'lie conversation
look place lietween them when rillin^' to(.'ether on the
load from I'.rentford to f.ondon; and, accnrdini,' to l;ol-
in^lii'oke's own account, the puriiort of it was that the
duke dill not trust the king's a^snrances of fncndsliip
towards either of them; hut lielievcd that he intended
to "destroy them lioth" for their share in some of the
previous eveiils of Kichard's rcisin. "Two days lieforc
the openiic-: of the ses-ioii (at shrcwshiiry) the liiike of
Hereford had ohtaiiied a geneial pardon iiiider the great
seal for the treasons, misprisions, and olfences that he
had ever committed" (hingard, vol. iii, li ;i74). His con-
duct certainly showed caution, coupled with the grossest
treachery towards his friend, who had heeii speakiny to
him ill eoiilldeiice.

We have printed the latter line as if it were a parenthesis.
None of the coniiiKlitatois seem to lind any dilliculty in
it; hut it certainly is not very intelligihle as usually i.rin-
ted. Norfolk is turning towards llolinghroke in speaking
the words; " .-^iltiiiij i(.^id,\" ■\:c ; then he stops, and turns
with a reverent salutation tii Uichard ;
Ami kt Ilim lie MO l-iiisiii.iii to iiiy lic-i;e,

the Duke of Norfolk felt a dillieiilty in aeeiisiiig a eou=iu
of thu king's, so roundly, of treason.

llVl rwln Innd with grief at the death of his iinccn (.\iine
of holicini:!). is struck with remorse, and wishes to recall
the orders given to Lapoole, hut it is too late. Lingard
takes an iinfavourahle view of iJloiicester's character,
and ihuilits if the evidence of his murder, and especially
of Uichard'a c .midicity in it, is to he relied on. It is
certain that Norfolk, then Karl of Nottingham and Karl
Marshal, was at Calais, and that (Jloucester was in his
charge: hut whelher the confession of .lohn Hall, made
ill the tlrst year of the reign of Henry IV , which is the
only direct evidence of a murder having liieii c mittcd,

Valines is on the hny nf Morhihan.. a well-known bay in

it should be Morhihan. and not I'orl h lllane, whichisan

There are so many lines in Shakespeare, even in p.issages
which have evidently been carefully and not careles.sly
written, where the place of one or two syllables is sup-
plied by a liause, similar to the rests which occur ill
music, that it would be idle to try and sufiply the delicient
syllables ill every instance. In this .-ase, as ill many others,
tiie ear is not oltVndcd by the deticieiit scan4on; the
necessary pause, oil the liart of the speaker, is iinite
SUllicicllt.

There is not the slightest historical authority for this
statement. Uiehard 11. was deeply attached to his flrst
wife, Anne of liohemia, called "the good Uueen .\nne;'
ami there does not seem to be any evidence in history of
his having committed adultery. His second (pieen, Isa-
bel, was still a child at this time. The real cause of com-
plaint against Richard was his great extravagance in
pageants, in dress, and in eiiteitaining large numbers of
persons in Westminster Hal! iiud elsewhere. This extra-
vagance and waste led to his exacting enonnous sums of
money from the people in taxes, which were made more
opiiressive than they need have been, owing to the eollce-
tion of them being placed In the hands of greedy and iiu-
serupnloiis favourites. Uicliaid s eharaeterhad much of
the feminine eh nieiit in it; he was always forming vehe-
ment attachments to men, mme like the sentimental
friendshiiis, which exist between schoolgirls, than the
manly and dignillcd relations which should exist between
a king and his ininisteri.
