Richard the Third, King of England.
Monster of men, Thou son of Belial,Shall not thy Nephews bloud for vengeance call?
Shall it think'st thou with them in silence dye?
No; though their mouths be stopt their blood shal cry;
For which when God shall inquisition make,
Rocks cannot hide thee, nor the Stigean Lake.
Thou that didst publish all the World before,
Thy Brother Bastard, and thy Mother Whore.
Thy barbarous hand did take away the Life
Of two great Kings, and thine own dearest Wife.
Two Princes thou and many Peers didst murther:
Had Hel broke loose it could have gone scarce further.
