1955 British Technicolor film adaptation of William Shakespeare's historical play of the same name, also incorporating elements from his Henry VI, Part 3. The prologue of the film states that history without its legends would be "a dry matter indeed", implicitly admitting to the artistic licence that Shakespeare applied to the events of the time.
CAST
Richard III: Laurence Olivier
Lady Anne: Claire Bloom
George, Duke of Clarence: John Gielgud
Duke of Buckingham: Ralph Richardson
The Lord Hastings - Lord Chamberlain: Alec Clunes
King Edward IV of England: Hardwicke, Sir Cedric
Queen Elizabeth, wife to Edward IV: Mary Kerridge
Sir Robert Brackenbury: Andrew Cruickshank
Lord Rivers: Clive Morton
Lord Dorset: Douglas Wilmer
Lord Stanley: Laurence Naismith
George Stanley: Richard Bennett
Of Olivier's three Shakespeare films, Richard III had the longest gestation period: Olivier had created and been developing his vision of the character Richard since his portrayal for the Old Vic Theatre in 1944. After he had made Shakespeare films popular with Henry V and Hamlet, the choice of Richard III for his next adaptation was simple, as his Richard had been widely praised on stage.
Screenplay
Most of the dialogue is taken straight from the play, but Olivier also drew on the 18th century adaptations by Colley Cibber and David Garrick, including Cibber's line, "Off with his head. So much for Buckingham!". Like Cibber and Garrick, Olivier's film opens with material from the last scenes of Henry VI, Part 3, to introduce more clearly the situation at the beginning of the story.
The character of Queen Margaret is cut entirely, the role of the Duchess of York (Helen Haye) is significantly reduced, the role of Edward IV's wife Elizabeth is also reduced, and the execution of Clarence and other scenes are abridged.

00:00:30Welcome, sweet prince, to London, to your chamber.
00:01:00Welcome, dear cousin. My thoughts sovereign.
00:01:19Ah, the weary way hath made you melancholy.
00:01:22No, uncle, but our crosses on the way have made it tedious, wearisome and heavy.
00:01:27I want more uncles here to welcome me.
00:01:29Sweet prince, the untainted virtue of your years hath not yet dived into the world's deceit.
00:01:35No more can you distinguish of a man than of his outward show, which, God he knows, seldom or never jumpeth with the heart.
00:01:44Those uncles which you want were dangerous.
00:01:48Your grace attended to their sugared words, but looked not on the poison of their hearts.
00:01:52God keep you from them and from such false friends.
00:01:57God keep me from false friends, but they were none.
00:02:02Sir, my lord archbishop comes to greet you.
00:02:11The mayor of London waits upon your grace.
00:02:15God bless your grace with health and happy days.
00:02:19I thank you good my lord, and thank you all.
00:02:27I thought my mother and my brother York would long ere this have met us on the way.
00:02:33Fie, what a slug his hay stinks, that he comes not to tell us whether they will come or not.
00:02:38And in good time here comes the sweating lord.
00:02:41And the lord stanley with him.
00:02:46Welcome, my lords.
00:02:47What, will our mother come?
00:02:48On what occasion? God he knows not I.
00:02:50The queen, your mother, and your brother York have taken sanctuary.
00:02:53The tender prince would fain have come with me to meet your grace, but by his mother was perforce withheld.
00:02:58Fie, what indirect and peevish course is this of hers?
00:03:05My lord archbishop, will ye of grace persuade the queen to send the duke of York unto his princely brother presently?
00:03:13If she deny, lord Hastings go with him, and from her jealous arms pluck him perforce.
00:03:19My lord Buckingham, if my weak oratory can from his mother win the duke of York an unexpected mere,
00:03:25and if she be obdurate to mild entreaties,
00:03:28God in heaven forbid we should infringe the holy privilege of blessed sanctuary.
00:03:33Not for all this land would I be guilty of so deep a sin.
00:03:36You are too senseless obstinate, my lord, too ceremonious and traditional.
00:03:40Wait, but with the grossness of this age you break not sanctuary in seizing him?
00:03:44The benefit thereof is always granted to those whose dealings have deserved the place,
00:03:49and those that have the wit to claim the place.
00:03:51This prince hath neither claimed it nor deserved it, and therefore in my opinion cannot have it.
00:03:56Oft have I heard of sanctuary men, but sanctuary children, ha, ne'er till now.
00:04:11My lord, you shall now rule my mind for once.
00:04:15Come on, lord Hastings, will you go with me?
00:04:18I go, my lord.
00:04:20Lord Stanley, will you come?
00:04:21Good lords, make all the speedy haste you may.
00:04:24Katesby, Radcliffe, Lovell, go with them.
00:04:27Good lords, make all the speedy haste you may.
00:04:29Katesby, Radcliffe, Lovell, go with them.
00:04:57Good lords, make all the speedy haste you may.
00:05:22The mayor towards Guildhall, Highsheaven, on haste.
00:05:26There, to-morrow, at your meetest vantage of the time, infer the bastardy of Edward's children.
00:05:35Moreover, urge his hateful luxury and bestial appetite in change of lust,
00:05:40which stretched unto their servants, daughters, wives,
00:05:43even were his raging eye or savage heart without control lusted to make his prey.
00:05:49Say, uncle Gloucester, if your brother come, where shall we serge him to thy coronation?
00:05:54Where it thinks best unto your royal self.
00:05:57If I may counsel you, some day or two your highness shall repose you at the tower.
00:06:09Then will you please, and shall be thought most fit for your best health and recreation.
00:06:14I do not like the tower of any place.
00:06:21So wise, so young, they say, do ne'er live long.
00:06:24Did Julius Caesar build that place, my lord?
00:06:26He did, my gracious lord, begin that place.
00:06:29That Julius Caesar was a famous man.
00:06:31With what his valour did enrich his wit, his wit set down to make his valour low.
00:06:39Nay, for a need, thus far come near my person.
00:06:43Tell them that when my mother was with child, with my yet unborn brother,
00:06:47noble York, my princely father, then had wars in France,
00:06:51and by true computation of the time found that the issue was not his begot,
00:06:55which well appeared in his lineaments, being nothing like the duke, my noble father.
00:06:59Yet touch this sparingly as to a far-off, because, my lord, you know, my mother lives.
00:07:05I'll tell you what, my cousin Buckingham.
00:07:07What, my gracious lord?
00:07:08And if I live until I be a man, I'll win our ancient rights in France again,
00:07:13or die a soldier, as I lived a king.
00:07:18Short summers likely have a forward spring.
00:07:20Fear not, my lord, I'll play the orator, as if the gold and fee for which I plead were for myself.
00:07:25If you thrive well, bring them to Baynard's castle,
00:07:28where you shall find me well accompanied with reverent fathers and well-learned bishops.
00:07:32Now, in good time, here comes the duke of York.
00:07:43Richard of York!
00:07:49How fares our loving brother?
00:07:51Well, my dread lord, so must I call you now.
00:07:55Ay, brother, to our grief as it is yours.
00:08:03I am the duke of York.
00:08:05I am the duke of York.
00:08:07I am the duke of York.
00:08:09I am the duke of York.
00:08:11I am the duke of York.
00:08:19How fares our noble cousin, Prince de York?
00:08:25I thank you, great wanker.
00:08:28Oh, my lord, you said that I don't need the fasting group.
00:08:31The prince, my brother, hath outgrown me far.
00:08:33He hath withdrawn you.
00:08:34And therefore is he idle?
00:08:35Oh, my dear lord, I must not say so.
00:08:37Then he is more beholding to you than I.
00:08:39You may command me as my sovereign,
00:08:41but you have power in me as a kinsman.
00:08:43I pray you, uncle, give me this dagger.
00:08:45My dagger, little cousin, with all my heart.
00:08:47A beggar, brother, of my kind uncle, that I know will give,
00:08:50and being but a toy which has no grief to give.
00:08:53A greater gift than that I'll give, my cousin.
00:08:55A greater gift?
00:08:56Oh, that's a sword to it.
00:08:58Did you wait it for your grace to wear?
00:09:00I wear it lightly, were it heavier.
00:09:01What, would you have my weapon, little boy?
00:09:04I would, but I might thank you as you call me.
00:09:07Oh?
00:09:08The yoke will still be cross in talk.
00:09:10Uncle, your grace knows how to bear with him.
00:09:12You mean to bear me, not to bear with me?
00:09:15Uncle, my brother mocks both you and me,
00:09:18because that I'm little like an ape.
00:09:20He thinks that you should bear me on your shoulder.
00:09:39With what a sharp, provided wit he reasons,
00:09:43to mitigate the scorn he gives his uncle,
00:09:45he prettily and aptly taunts himself.
00:09:47So cunning and so young, he's wonderful.
00:09:50My lord, will please you pass along.
00:09:52Myself and my good cousin Buckingham will to your mother
00:09:54to entreat of her to meet you at the tower and welcome you.
00:09:57What, will you go into the town, my lord?
00:09:59My lord protects and needs will have it so.
00:10:02I shall not sleep in quiet at this hour.
00:10:04My lord protects and needs will have it so.
00:10:06I shall not sleep in quiet at the tower.
00:10:08Why, what should you fear?
00:10:10Marry my uncle Clarence, angry ghost.
00:10:12My granddaughter told me he was murdered there.
00:10:15I fear no uncle's dead.
00:10:17Nor none that live, I hope.
00:10:19And if they live, I hope I need not fear.
00:10:25But come, and with heavy hearts,
00:10:28thinking on them, go we unto the tower.
00:10:34Well, let them rest.
00:11:04Now, my lord, what shall we do if we perceive
00:11:06that the Lord Hastings will not yield to our complots?
00:11:12Chop off his head, man.
00:11:21Some what we will do.
00:11:30Come hither, Catesby.
00:11:33Thou art sworn as deeply to effect what we intend,
00:11:36as closely to conceal what we impart.
00:11:39Thou knowest our reasons urged upon the way.
00:11:41What thinkest thou?
00:11:43Is it not an easy matter to make Lord Hastings of our mind
00:11:46for the installment of this noble duke
00:11:48in the seat royal of this famous isle?
00:11:51He, for the late king's sake, so loves the prince
00:11:54that he will not be wont to walt against him.
00:11:56What things are there of Stanley?
00:11:58What will he?
00:12:00He will do all in all as Hastings doth.
00:12:08Well, then, no more but this.
00:12:11Go, gentle Catesby, and as it were far off,
00:12:14sound thou Lord Hastings how he stands affected unto our purpose,
00:12:19and summon him to-morrow to the tower
00:12:21to counsel on the coronation.
00:12:23If thou dost find him tractable to us,
00:12:25encourage him, and show him all our reasons.
00:12:27If he be laden, icy, cold, unwilling,
00:12:30be thou so too, and so break off your talk
00:12:32and give us notice of his inclination.
00:12:34I will, my lord.
00:12:36Farewell, your grace is spoken.
00:12:39Catesby, commend me to Lord Hastings.
00:12:43Tell him his ancient knot of dangerous adversaries,
00:12:46Lord Rivers and Lord Grey.
00:12:49To-morrow I'll let blood at Pumfret Castle,
00:12:52and bid my friend, for joy of this good news,
00:12:55and mistress Shaw one gentle kiss the morrow.
00:12:58Aye, sir.
00:13:25My lord.
00:13:41My lord.
00:13:43Who knocks?
00:13:45One from the Lord Stanley.
00:13:56What is the clock?
00:13:58Upon the stroke of four.
00:14:00Cannot my lord Stanley sleep these tedious nights?
00:14:03So it appears, by that I have to say.
00:14:05First he commends him to your noble self.
00:14:08What then?
00:14:10Then certifies your lordship that this night he had a dream.
00:14:13The boar raised off his helm.
00:14:16Therefore he sends to know your lordship's pleasure.
00:14:18If you will presently take horse with him,
00:14:20and with all speed post with him to war,
00:14:22to shun the danger that his soul divines.
00:14:25Go, fellow, go, return unto thy lord.
00:14:27Tell him his fears are shallow without instance,
00:14:30and for his dreams I wonder he's so simple
00:14:32to trust the mockery of unquiet slumbers.
00:14:35To fly the boar before the boar pursues.
00:14:37Where do incense the boar to follow us,
00:14:39and make pursuit where he did mean no chase.
00:14:41Go, bid thy master rise and come to me,
00:14:44and we will both together to the tower,
00:14:46where he shall see the boar will use us kindly.
00:14:48I'll go, my lord, and tell him what you say.
00:14:58And now, sirrah, how goes the world with thee?
00:15:01The bearer that your lordship pleased to ask.
00:15:19Many good morrows to my noble lord.
00:15:21Good morrow, Catesby.
00:15:27You are early stirring.
00:15:31What news?
00:15:32What news in this our tottering state?
00:15:35It is a reeling world indeed, my lord.
00:15:37The world is in a frenzy.
00:15:39The world is in a frenzy.
00:15:41The world is in a frenzy.
00:15:43The world is in a frenzy.
00:15:45The world is in a frenzy.
00:15:46The world is in a frenzy.
00:15:47The world is in a frenzy.
00:15:48The world is in a frenzy.
00:15:49The world is in a frenzy.
00:15:50The world is in a frenzy.
00:15:51What news in this our tottering state?
00:15:52It is a reeling world indeed, my lord.
00:15:53And I believe we'll never stand upright
00:15:55till Richard wear the garland of the real.
00:15:58I'll wear the garland.
00:16:00Does I mean the crown?
00:16:02Aye, my good lord.
00:16:04I'll have this crown of mine cut from my shoulders
00:16:07before I see the crown so foul misplaced.
00:16:11But canst thou guess that he'd have aimed at it?
00:16:14Ay, on my life, and hopes to find you forward upon his party for the gain thereon.
00:16:20Thereupon he sends you this good news, that this same very day your enemies, a kindred of the Queen, must die at Pomfret.
00:16:29Indeed, I have no mourner for that news.
00:16:33But that I'll give my voice on Richard's side, to bar my master's heirs in true dissent,
00:16:40God knows I will not do it, to the death.
00:16:45God keep your lordship in that gracious mind.
00:16:49But I shall laugh at this, at twelve months hence, that they which brought me in my master's hate, I live to look upon their tragedy.
00:16:58Well, Catesby, ere a fortnight make me older, I'll send some packing, let's not think on't.
00:17:07It is a vile thing to die, my gracious lord, when men are unprepared, and look not for it.
00:17:13Monstrous, monstrous.
00:17:16And so falls it out with rivers, and with grey, and so it will do with some men else, who think themselves as safe as thou and I,
00:17:27who is thy most dear to princely Richard, and to Buckingham.
00:17:35The princes both make high account of you, for they count his head upon the bridge.
00:17:40I know they do, and I have well deserved it.
00:17:44Come on, come on, where's your boar spear, man? Fear you the boar, and go so unprovided?
00:17:50My lord, good morrow, good morrow, Catesby.
00:17:54You may jest on, but by the holy rule the lords of Pomfret, when they rode from London, were jocund, and suppose their states were sure,
00:18:00and they indeed had no cause to mistrust, and yet you see how soon the day occurs.
00:18:04My lord, I hold my life as dear as yours, and never in my days I do protest, was it so precious to me as tis now.
00:18:14Good morrow, mistress.
00:18:15Good morrow, my lord.
00:18:17Think you but that I know our states secure, I would be so triumphant as I am.
00:18:22This sudden stab of rancour I must doubt. Pray God, I say, I prove a needless coward.
00:18:27But come, my lord, shall we to the town?
00:18:29Do you before, I'll follow presently.
00:18:44Well met, my lord. I'm glad to see your honour.
00:18:47I thank thee, reverend sir, with all my heart.
00:18:50I am in your debt for your last exercise. Come the next Sabbath, and I will content you.
00:18:56What, talking with a priest, Lord Chamberlain?
00:18:58Your friends at Pumphrey, they do need the priest. Your worship hath no striving work in hand.
00:19:03Good faith, and when I met this holy man, the men you talk of came into my mind.
00:19:07What do you do of the town?
00:19:09I do, my lord, but long I cannot stay there. I shall return before your lordship thence.
00:19:13They lack enough, for I stay dinner there.
00:19:15And supper too, although the nurse did not.
00:19:17Come, will you go?
00:19:18I wait upon your lordship.
00:19:25My lord, at once the cause why we are met is to determine of the coronation.
00:19:41In God's name, say, when is the royal date?
00:19:45Are all things fitting for that royal time?
00:19:47They are, and want but nomination.
00:19:49Tomorrow, then, I guess, a happy time.
00:19:52Who knows the lord protector's mind herein?
00:19:55Who is most inward with the noble duke?
00:19:57Why, you, my lord, bethink, should soonest know it thine.
00:20:02We know each other's faces.
00:20:04For our hearts, he knows no more of mine than I of yours.
00:20:07Nor I know more of his than you of mine.
00:20:11Lord Hastings, you and he are near in love.
00:20:14I thank his grace. I know he loves me well.
00:20:17But for his purpose in the coronation, I have not signed it him.
00:20:20Nor he delivered his gracious pleasure anywhere therein.
00:20:23But you, my noble lords, may name the time.
00:20:25And in the duke's behalf, I'll give my voice,
00:20:28which I presume he'll take in gentle part.
00:20:32Now, in good time, here comes the duke himself.
00:20:36My noble lords and cousins all, good morrow.
00:20:40I have been long asleep, but I trust my absence doth neglect no great design,
00:20:46which by my presence might have been concluded.
00:20:48And do not come upon your cue, my lord.
00:20:50William, Lord Hastings, hath now pronounced your part,
00:20:53I mean your voice, for crowning of the king.
00:20:56Then, my lord Hastings, no man might be bolder.
00:20:59I thank your grace. His lordship knows me well and loves me well.
00:21:09The crowning of the king.
00:21:10My lord archbishop.
00:21:11My lord.
00:21:13When I was lost in Lambeth, I saw good strawberries in your garden there.
00:21:17I do beseech you, send for some of them.
00:21:19Merrily it will, my lord, with all my heart.
00:21:25A casualt packing of a word with you.
00:21:41Catesby hath sounded Hastings of our business,
00:21:44and finds the testy gentleman so hot that he will lose his head there,
00:21:48give consent his master's son, as worshipful he terms it,
00:21:52shall lose the royalty of England's throne.
00:22:07When I am king, claim thou of me the earldom of Hereford,
00:22:13and all the movables whereof the king, my brother, was possessed.
00:22:23I'll claim that promise at your grace's hand,
00:22:25and look to have it yielded with all willingness.
00:22:30Where is our lord protector?
00:22:33I have sent for these strawberries.
00:22:49We have not yet set down this day of triumph.
00:22:52Tomorrow, in mine opinion, is too sudden,
00:22:54for I myself am not so well provided as else I might be were the day prolonged.
00:23:21His grace looks cheerfully and smooth to-day,
00:23:25for some conceit or other likes him well when he doth bid good-morrow with such a spirit.
00:23:33I think there's never a man in Christendom that can lesser hide his love or hate than he,
00:23:40for by his looks straight shall you know his heart.
00:23:46Not of his heart perceived you in his face by any likelihood he showed to-day.
00:23:54Marry that with no man here he is offended, for if he were he would have shown it in his looks.
00:24:05I pray you all, tell me what they deserve that do conspire my death
00:24:12with devilish plots of damned witchcraft,
00:24:17and that have prevailed upon my body with their hellish charms.
00:24:25The tender love I bear your grace, my lord,
00:24:27makes me most forward in this noble presence to doom the offenders.
00:24:31Whoso'er they be, I say they have deserved death.
00:24:36Then be your eyes the witness of their evil.
00:24:40Look, I am bewitched.
00:24:43Behold, mine arm is like a blasted sapling withered up,
00:24:46and this is Edward's wife, that monstrous witch,
00:24:49consorted with that harlot's trumpet, sure that by their witchcraft thus have mocked me.
00:24:57If they have done this thing, my gracious lord.
00:25:00If? Thou protector of this damned trumpet,
00:25:05mockst thou to me of ifs?
00:25:07Thou art a traitor.
00:25:09Off with his head.
00:25:11Now, by St. Paul, I swear I shall not dine until I see the same.
00:25:15Catesby, Radcliffe, Lovell, see you done.
00:25:17The rest that love me, rise.
00:25:21And follow me.
00:25:30I never looked for better at his hands after he once fell in with Mistress Shaw.
00:25:59Woe, woe for England.
00:26:04Not a wit for me, for I too fond might have prevented this.
00:26:10Stanley did dream the boar chopped off his head,
00:26:15but I disdained it and did scorn to fly.
00:26:20Three times to-day my footcloth horse did stumble,
00:26:24and it started when he looked upon the tower as loath to bear me to the slaughterhouse.
00:26:33Now I want the priest that spake to me.
00:26:36Dispatch, my lord, that you could be at dinner.
00:26:39Make a short shrift. He longs to see your head.
00:26:45The cat, the rat, and Lovell the dog
00:26:53rule all England under the hog.
00:26:56Come, come, dispatch.
00:26:57It is bootless to explain.
00:27:03Come, lead me to the block.
00:27:05Bear him my head.
00:27:09He may smile at me, but shortly shall be dead.
00:27:39There was the slyest sheltered traitor that ever lived.
00:28:00Would you have imagined, my good lord man,
00:28:02were it not by great presidation we live to tell it you.
00:28:06The subtle traitor this day had plotted in the council house
00:28:09to murder me and my good lord of Gloucester.
00:28:12How can he so?
00:28:14So smooth he daubed his vice with sure virtue
00:28:16that his apparent open guilt upon, I mean,
00:28:19his conversation with Shaw's wife, his life was free from all suspicion.
00:28:23Now fair before you, he deserved his death.
00:28:26And you, my good lords, both have well proceeded
00:28:28to warn false traitors from the like attempts.
00:28:31I never looked for better at his hands
00:28:33after he once fell in with Mr. Shaw.
00:28:37Yet had not we determined he should die
00:28:39until your lordship came to see his end,
00:28:41which now the loving haste of these our friends,
00:28:43somewhat against our meaning, have prevented.
00:28:46Because, my lord, we would have had you hear the traitor speak
00:28:49and timidly confess the manner and the purpose of his treason,
00:28:52that you might well have signified the same unto the citizens,
00:28:56who happily may misconstrue us in him and wail his death.
00:29:00My good lord, your grace's word shall serve
00:29:03as well as I had seen and heard him speak.
00:29:06And doubt you not, but I'll acquaint our duty as citizens
00:29:10with all your just proceedings in this case.
00:29:13And to that end, we wish your worship here
00:29:15to avoid the coughing censures of the world.
00:29:18But since you come too late of our intent,
00:29:20yet witness what we did intend.
00:29:22And so, my lord, I will be with thee straight.
00:29:27Come, all good citizens, draw near.
00:29:30And your good lord may I lend generous ear.
00:29:45How now, how now? What say the citizens?
00:29:47Now by the holy mother of our lord, the citizens, our mum,
00:29:51say not a word.
00:29:53Not a word?
00:29:54Touched you the bastardy of Edward's children?
00:29:56I did, with his contract with Mistress Shaw
00:29:59and his contract by deputy in France,
00:30:01the insatiate greediness of his desire
00:30:04and his enforcement of the city wives,
00:30:07his tyranny for trifles, his own bastardy,
00:30:10as being got your father dead in France,
00:30:13and his resemblance being not like the duke.
00:30:15Withal, I did infer your liniments
00:30:18being the right idea of your father,
00:30:21both in your form and nobleness of mind.
00:30:25Laid open all your victories in Scotland,
00:30:28your discipline in war, wisdom in peace,
00:30:30your bounty, virtues, fair humility, indeed,
00:30:33left nothing fitting for your purpose,
00:30:35untouched or slightly handled in discourse.
00:30:38And when my oratory drew toward end,
00:30:40I bade them that did love their country's good
00:30:43cry, God save Richard, England's royal king.
00:30:47And did they so? No.
00:30:48So God help me, they spake not a word.
00:30:50But like dumb statues or grieving stones,
00:30:53stared each on other and looked deadly pale.
00:30:55Which when I saw, I reprehended them
00:30:57and asked the mayor, what meant this willful silence?
00:31:00His answer was, the people were not used to be spoke to
00:31:02but by the recorder.
00:31:04Then he was urged to tell my tale again.
00:31:06Thus saith the duke.
00:31:08Thus hath the duke inferred.
00:31:10But nothing spoke in Warren from himself.
00:31:13When he'd done, some followers of mine own
00:31:15at lower end of the hall hurled up their caps.
00:31:17And some ten voices cried, God save King Richard.
00:31:21And thus I took the vantage of those few.
00:31:23Thanks, gentle citizens and friends, quoth I,
00:31:26this general applause and cheerful shout
00:31:29argues your wisdom and your love to Richard.
00:31:32And even here break off and came away.
00:31:35What thunderous blocks were they?
00:31:37Could they not speak?
00:31:40Could not the mayor then at his brethren come?
00:31:42The mayor is here at hand.
00:31:43Pretend some fear.
00:31:44Be not you spoke with but by mighty suit.
00:31:46Say the maid's part.
00:31:47Say no, but take it.
00:31:49Yeah, me not.
00:31:50And if you plead as well for them
00:31:52as I can say nay to thee for myself,
00:31:54no doubt we bring it to a happy issue.
00:31:56You shall see what I can do.
00:31:57Get you up to the ledge.
00:32:04Now, my lord mayor, I dance attendance here.
00:32:07I think his grace will not be spoke withal.
00:32:10Now, case me.
00:32:11What says your lord to my request?
00:32:13He doth entreat your grace, my noble lord,
00:32:15to visit him tomorrow or next day.
00:32:17He is within with two right reverend fathers,
00:32:20divinely bent to meditation,
00:32:22and in no worldly suit should he be moved
00:32:25to draw him from his holy exercise.
00:32:27Return, good Catesby, to the gracious duke.
00:32:30Tell him, myself, the mayor, and citizens,
00:32:32in deep designs, in matter of great movement,
00:32:35no less important than our general good,
00:32:37are come to have some conference with his grace.
00:32:40General good.
00:32:41Signify so much unto him straight.
00:32:43Ah, my lord, this prince is not an edward.
00:32:45He is not lulling on a lewd love bed,
00:32:48but on his knees at meditation,
00:32:50not dallying with a brace of courtesans,
00:32:52but meditating with two deep divines.
00:32:54Two deep divines.
00:32:55Not sleeping to engross his idle body,
00:32:58but praying to enrich his watchful soul.
00:33:00Happy were England would this gracious prince
00:33:03take on himself the sovereignty thereof.
00:33:05But sure, I fear we shall not win him to it.
00:33:07Mary, God defend his grace should say us nay.
00:33:10I fear he will.
00:33:11Here Catesby comes again.
00:33:12Now, Catesby, what says his grace?
00:33:14He wonders to what end you have assembled
00:33:17such troops of citizens to come to him.
00:33:20His grace not being warned thereof before,
00:33:22he fears, my lord, you mean no good to him.
00:33:25Sorry I am, my noble cousin should suspect me
00:33:29that I mean no good to him.
00:33:31By heaven, we come to him in perfect love.
00:33:34And so once more return and tell his grace,
00:33:37when holy and devout religious men
00:33:39are at their beads,
00:33:40tis much to draw them thins.
00:33:42So sweet is zealous contemplation.
00:33:46See where his grace comes?
00:33:49Between two clergymen.
00:33:51Ah.
00:33:55Two props of virtue for a Christian prince
00:33:58to stay him from the fall of vanity.
00:34:01And see, a book of prayers in his hands.
00:34:04True ornament to know a holy man.
00:34:08Famous Plantagenet.
00:34:10Most gracious prince,
00:34:12may we pay humbly to our requests
00:34:14and pardon us the interruption
00:34:16of thy devotion and right Christian zeal.
00:34:20My lord, there needs no such apology.
00:34:22I do perceive I have done some offense
00:34:25which seems disgracious in the city's eye
00:34:27and that you come to reprehend my ignorance.
00:34:29You have, my lord.
00:34:30Would it please your grace
00:34:31are I in treatise to amend your fault?
00:34:33That's wherefore breathe I in a Christian land.
00:34:36No, then.
00:34:37It is your fault that you resign the supreme seat,
00:34:40the throne majestical,
00:34:41the sceptered office of your ancestors
00:34:43to the corruption of a blemished stock.
00:34:47The which to cure,
00:34:48we heartily solicit your gracious self
00:34:50to take on you the charge
00:34:52and kingly government of this your land.
00:34:55Not as protector, steward, substitute
00:34:57or lowly factor for another's gain,
00:34:59but as successively from blood to blood
00:35:02your right of birth, your heritage,
00:35:05your own.
00:35:06For this, consorted with the citizens,
00:35:09your very worshipful and loving friends
00:35:11and by their vehement instigation.
00:35:15Hurrah!
00:35:16Hurrah!
00:35:17In this just cause come I to move your grace.
00:35:24I cannot tell if to depart in silence
00:35:28or bitterly to speak in your reproof.
00:35:30Your love deserves my thanks,
00:35:33but my desert unmeritable shuns your high request.
00:35:36But, God be thanked, there is no need of me.
00:35:39The royal tree hath left us royal fruit,
00:35:42which, mellowed with the stealing hours of time,
00:35:46will well become the seat of majesty
00:35:48and make no doubt us happy by his reign.
00:35:51On him I lay that you would lay on me,
00:35:53the right and fortune of his happy stars,
00:35:55which God defend that I should wring from him.
00:35:58My lord, this argues conscience in your grace.
00:36:02You say that Edward is your brother's son.
00:36:04So say we too, but not by Edward's wife.
00:36:08Then, good my lord, take to your royal self
00:36:11this proper benefit of dignity.
00:36:14Do, good my lord, your citizens entreat you.
00:36:17Refuse not, my dear lord, this proper glove.
00:36:19Oh, make them joyful. Grant their lawful suit.
00:36:22And, to beseech you, take it not amiss.
00:36:24I cannot nor I will not yield to you.
00:36:27Yes, whether you accept our suit or no,
00:36:29your brother's son shall never reign our king,
00:36:31but we will plant some other in the throne
00:36:34to the disgrace and downfall of your house.
00:36:37And in this resolution here we leave you.
00:36:40Come, citizens, zooms.
00:36:42I'll entreat no more.
00:36:44Oh, do not swear, my lord.
00:36:46Call them again, sweet prince. Accept their suit.
00:36:48If you deny them all, the land will ruin.
00:36:50Would you enforce me to a world of cares?
00:36:53Call them again.
00:36:54Call them again.
00:36:55Call them again.
00:36:57Call them again.
00:37:11Cousin of Buckingham and sage grave men,
00:37:16since that you will buckle fortune on my back
00:37:19to bear her burden, whether I will or no,
00:37:22I must have patience to endure the load.
00:37:25But God doth know, and you may partly see
00:37:27how far I am from the desire of this.
00:37:29God bless your grace. We see it and will say it.
00:37:33Then I salute you with this royal title,
00:37:36Long live Richard, England's worthy king.
00:37:40Long live Richard, England's worthy king.
00:37:44Tomorrow may it please you to be crowned.
00:37:46Even when you please, for you will have it so.
00:37:49Tomorrow then we will attend your grace,
00:37:51and so most joyfully we take our leave.
00:37:55Come, let us to our holy work again.
00:37:58Farewell, my cousin. Farewell, gentle friend.
00:38:24Farewell, my cousin.
00:38:54Farewell, my cousin.
00:39:12Come, madam, come.
00:39:14You must straight to Westminster,
00:39:16there to be crowned Richard's royal queen.
00:39:20Who would do God that the intrusive verge of golden metal
00:39:23that must round my brow with red-hot steel
00:39:26to sear me to the brain?
00:39:28Anointed, let me be with deadly venom,
00:39:31and dire men can say, God save the queen.
00:39:35Go, go, poor soul.
00:39:38I envy not thy glory.
00:39:40To feed my humour, wish thyself no harm.
00:39:44No? Why?
00:39:48When he that is my husband now
00:39:51came to me as I followed Edward's course,
00:39:56when scarce the blood was well washed from his hands
00:39:59which he sewed from my other angel husband,
00:40:04within so small a time
00:40:08my woman's heart
00:40:11grossly grew captive to his honey words.
00:40:22And never yet one hour in his bed
00:40:25did I enjoy the golden dew of sleep,
00:40:29but have been wakened by his timorous dreams.
00:40:34Besides, he hates me for my father Warwick,
00:40:38and I hate him for my father.
00:40:42And I hate him for my father.
00:40:46And I hate him for my father.
00:40:51He will no doubt shortly be rid of me.
00:40:57Be of good cheer.
00:40:59Madam, have hast your grace.
00:41:00O Dawson, speak not to me. Get thee gone.
00:41:03Death and destruction dog thee at thy heels.
00:41:06Go, hide thee, hide thee from this slaughter-house,
00:41:09lest thou increase the number of the dead.
00:41:11Full of wise care is this your counsel, madam.
00:41:13Take all the swift advantage of the hours.
00:41:16In Brittany, my stepson, Earl of Richmond, doth reside,
00:41:19and with a jealous eye doth still observe
00:41:21the lawless actions of aspiring Gloucester.
00:41:23If thou wilt outstrip death, go across the seas
00:41:25and live with Richmond from the reach of hell.
00:41:28You shall have letters from me to my own son George
00:41:30on your behalf to meet you on the way.
00:41:32Be not taint hardly by unwise delay.
00:41:35Come, madam, come. I in all haste was sent.
00:41:38And I with all unwillingness will go.
00:41:43Go thou to Richmond, and good angels attend thee.
00:41:47Go thou to Richmond, and good fortune guide thee.
00:41:52Go thou to sanctuary, and good thoughts possess thee.
00:41:57Hide my grave, but peace and rest lie with me.
00:42:06Pity you ancient stones, those tender babes
00:42:10whom envy hath immured within your walls.
00:42:14Rough cradle for such little pretty ones.
00:42:19Rude, ragged nurse.
00:42:22Old, sullen playfellow for tender princes.
00:42:27Lose my babies well?
00:42:31So long.
00:42:34Foolish sorrow bids your stones farewell.
00:42:43THE END

00:46:04Cousin of Buckingham.
00:46:07Give me thy hand.
00:46:10My gracious sovereign.
00:46:14Thus I, by thy advice and thy assistance,
00:46:18is King Richard seated.
00:46:21But shall we wear these glories for a day,
00:46:25or shall they live and we rejoice in them?
00:46:28Still live they, and forever let them last.
00:46:31Buckingham, now do I play the touch
00:46:34to try if thou be current gold indeed.
00:46:37Thou know'st young Edward and his brother lives.
00:46:40Think now what I would speak.
00:46:43Say on, my loving lord.
00:46:46My Buckingham, I say I would be King.
00:46:48Why, so you are, my thrice renowned lord.
00:46:51Am I King?
00:46:53It is so.
00:46:55But Edward lives.
00:46:57True noble prince.
00:47:01Cousin, I was not wont to be so dull.
00:47:04True noble prince.
00:47:06Shall I be plain?
00:47:07I wish the bastards dead,
00:47:09and I would have it suddenly performed.
00:47:11What say'st thou now? Speak suddenly, be brief.
00:47:14Your grace may do your pleasure.
00:47:16Thou art all eyes.
00:47:18Thy kindness freezes.
00:47:20Say, have I thy consent that they shall die?
00:47:24Give me some little breath, some pause, dear lord,
00:47:28before I positively speak in this.
00:47:31I will resolve you herein presently.
00:47:35I have reached Buckingham.
00:47:37Close second speech.
00:47:48The King is angry.
00:47:50See he gnaws his lip.
00:47:52Okay, speak, my lord.
00:48:05Know'st thou not any whom corrupting gold
00:48:08will tempt unto a close exploit of death?
00:48:11I know a discontented gentleman
00:48:13whose humble means match not his haughty spirits.
00:48:15Gold will as good as twenty orators
00:48:17and will no doubt tempt him to anything.
00:48:19What is his name?
00:48:21His name, my lord, is Tyrell.
00:48:23Partly know the man, go call him in.
00:48:29The deep revolving, witty Buckingham,
00:48:31no more shall be the neighbor to my counselor.
00:48:36Hath he so long held out with me untired
00:48:40that stops he now for breath?
00:48:43Well, be it so.
00:49:01An order of Stanley.
00:49:11What's the news?
00:49:13The Marquess of Dorset, as I hear, is fled to Richmond.
00:49:20Come with the case-weight.
00:49:26Rumor it abroad that Anne, my wife,
00:49:29is very grievous sick.
00:49:31I will take order for her keeping close.
00:49:35Look how thou dream'st, I say again,
00:49:37give out that Anne, my queen, is sick
00:49:39and like to die about it.
00:49:49I must marry brother Edward's daughter
00:49:54or else my kingdom stands on brittle glass.
00:49:58Murder her brothers and then marry her.
00:50:02Familiar way of game.
00:50:05But I am in so far in blood
00:50:07that sin will pluck on sin.
00:50:11Dear falling pity dwells not in this eye.
00:50:20My lord, I have considered in my mind
00:50:22the late demand that you did sound me in.
00:50:25Well, let that rest.
00:50:28Dorset is fled to Richmond.
00:50:29I hear the news, my lord.
00:50:31Stanley, Richmond is your wife's son.
00:50:34Well, look unto it.
00:50:37My lord, I claim the gift,
00:50:39my due by promise,
00:50:41for which your honour and your faith is pawned,
00:50:43the earldom of Hereford and the movables
00:50:45which you have promised I shall possess.
00:50:50Stanley, look to your wife.
00:50:54If she convey letters to Richmond,
00:50:56you shall answer it.
00:50:57Most mighty sovereign,
00:50:59you have no cause to hold my friendship doubtful.
00:51:01I never was, nor never will be, false.
00:51:04Well, go muster men.
00:51:10But hear you,
00:51:12leave behind your son, George Stanley.
00:51:15Look your heart be firm
00:51:17or else his head's assurance is but frail.
00:51:21So deal with him
00:51:24as I have done.
00:51:26As I prove true to you.
00:51:43What says your highness to my just request?
00:51:51I do remember me.
00:51:52Henry VI did prophesy
00:51:54that Richmond should be king
00:51:56when Richmond was a little peevish boy.
00:52:00King.
00:52:02Perhaps.
00:52:03My lord.
00:52:05A chance the prophet could not have told me
00:52:07I being I
00:52:09that I should kill him.
00:52:11My lord, your promise for the earldom.
00:52:13Richmond.
00:52:15Bard of Ireland told me once
00:52:17I should not live long
00:52:19after I saw Richmond.
00:52:20My lord.
00:52:24Aye.
00:52:26What's o'clock?
00:52:28I am thus bold to put your grace in mind
00:52:30of what you promised me.
00:52:32Well, but what's o'clock?
00:52:34Upon the stroke of ten.
00:52:36Then let it strike.
00:52:38Why, let it strike?
00:52:40Because that like a jack
00:52:42thou keep'st the stroke
00:52:44betwixt thy begging and my meditation.
00:52:46Is thy name Tyrell?
00:52:48James Tyrell.
00:52:50I trust thou indeed.
00:52:52Prove me, my gracious lord.
00:52:54I'm not in the giving vein today.
00:52:57Why, then resolve me
00:52:59whether you will or no.
00:53:02Thou troublest me.
00:53:04I'm not in the vein.
00:53:21And as it does,
00:53:23great pays he my deep services
00:53:25with such contempt.
00:53:28Made I him king for this.
00:53:32Oh, let me think on these things
00:53:34and be gone to Richmond
00:53:36while my fearful head is on.
00:53:51Darest thou resolve
00:53:53to kill
00:53:56a friend of mine?
00:53:58Please you,
00:54:00I'd rather kill two enemies.
00:54:03Why, then thou hast it.
00:54:05Two deep enemies,
00:54:07foes to my rest.
00:54:09I'll kill them all.
00:54:11I'll kill them all.
00:54:13I'll kill them all.
00:54:15I'll kill them all.
00:54:17I'll kill them all.
00:54:18Two deep enemies,
00:54:20foes to my rest
00:54:22and my sweet sleep's disturbers
00:54:24are they that I would have thee deal upon.
00:54:26Tyrell,
00:54:28I mean those bastards in the tower.
00:54:37Let me have open means
00:54:39to come to them
00:54:41and soon I'll rid you from the fear of them.
00:54:45Thou sing'st sweet music.
00:54:48Come hither, Tyrell.
00:54:52Go by this token.
00:54:55Rise and lend thine ear.
00:55:15That is no more but so.
00:55:17Say it is done
00:55:20and I will love thee
00:55:22and prefer thee for it.
00:55:27I will dispatch it straighter.
00:55:37Oh, thus was Dighton, nay, the gentle babes.
00:55:41Thus, thus was Forrest,
00:55:43girdling one another
00:55:45within their alabaster innocent arms.
00:55:48Their lips were four red roses on a stalk
00:55:52that in their summer beauty kissed each other.
00:55:56A book of prayers on their pillow lay,
00:56:00which once was Forrest
00:56:02almost changed my mind.
00:56:05But oh, the devil!
00:56:14We smothered
00:56:16the most replenished sweet work of nature
00:56:20that from the prime creation
00:56:23ere she framed.
00:56:30Good Buckingham, tell Richmond this from me,
00:56:33that in the sty of this most bloody bore
00:56:35my son George Stanley is cranked up in hope.
00:56:38If I revolt, off goes young George's head.
00:56:40The fear of that withholds my present aid.
00:56:42Commend me to my princely Richmond.
00:56:44Tell him the Queen hath heartily consented
00:56:46he shall espouse Elizabeth, her daughter.
00:56:48These letters will resolve him of my mind.
00:56:51Farewell, my noble Stanley.
00:56:53The son of Terence have I pent up close.
00:56:56His daughter, meanly, have I matched in marriage.
00:56:59The sons of Edward sleep in Abram's bosom.
00:57:02And Anne, my wife,
00:57:04have I wedded.
00:57:06And Anne, my wife,
00:57:08have I wedded.
00:57:10And Anne, my wife,
00:57:12have I wedded.
00:57:14And Anne, my wife,
00:57:16have I wedded.
00:57:18And Anne, my wife,
00:57:20have I wedded.
00:57:22And Anne, my wife,
00:57:24have bid this world good night.
00:57:26Now, for I know that Tudor Richmond
00:57:28aims at young Elizabeth,
00:57:30my brother's daughter,
00:57:32and by that knot looks proudly on the crown.
00:57:34To her go I,
00:57:36a jolly, thriving wooer.
00:57:39My lord!
00:57:41Good news or bad that thou comest in so bloodily?
00:57:43Bad news, my lord.
00:57:45Buckingham is fled to Richmond.
00:57:48I must amend.
00:57:50My counsel is my shield.
00:57:52The field, the field.
00:57:54My gracious sovereign,
00:57:56on the western coast rideth a puissant navy
00:57:58to the shore throng many doubtful, hollow-hearted friends
00:58:00unarmed and unresolved to beat them back.
00:58:02They thought that Richmond is their admiral
00:58:04and there they howl, expecting but the aid of Buckingham
00:58:06to welcome them ashore.
00:58:08Some light-foot friend post to the duke of Norfolk.
00:58:10Racket thyself.
00:58:12Go thou to Salisbury.
00:58:14When thou comest there,
00:58:16thou unmindful villain,
00:58:18why starest thou here and goest not to the duke?
00:58:20First, mighty sovereign, let me know your mind.
00:58:22Salisbury.
00:58:24I know.
00:58:26What is to Highness Fraser I shall do at Salisbury.
00:58:28What post thou do there before I go?
00:58:30Your Highness told me I should post before.
00:58:32My mind is changed, sir, my mind is changed.
00:58:34Daniel, what's the news with you?
00:58:36None good, my lord,
00:58:38to appease you with a hearing,
00:58:40nor none so bad it may not well be told.
00:58:42Hey, Daniel, riddle, neither good nor bad.
00:58:44What meets thou run so many miles about
00:58:46when thou mayst till thy till the nearest way?
00:58:48Once more, what news?
00:58:50Richmond is on the seas.
00:58:52Well?
00:58:54As you guess.
00:58:56Stirred up by Dorset,
00:58:58Buckingham and the Welsh,
00:59:00he makes for England,
00:59:02there to claim the crown.
00:59:15Is the chair empty?
00:59:17Is the sword unswayed?
00:59:19Is the king dead?
00:59:20Is the empire unpossessed?
00:59:22What heir of York is there alive but we?
00:59:24And who is England's king but great York's heir?
00:59:27Then tell me, what makes he upon the seas?
00:59:29Unless for that, my liege, I cannot guess.
00:59:31Unless for that he comes to be your liege,
00:59:33you cannot guess wherefore the Welshman comes.
00:59:35Thou wilt revolt and fight with him, I fear.
00:59:37No, my dear liege, thou foremost trust me not.
00:59:39Where is thy power then to beat it back?
00:59:41Where be thy tenants and thy followers?
00:59:43Are they not now upon the western shore
00:59:45safe-conducting the rebels from their ship?
00:59:47No, my good lord, my friends are in the north.
00:59:48When they should serve their sovereign in the west.
00:59:50They have not been commanded, mighty sovereign.
00:59:52Please it, your majesty, to give me leave.
00:59:54I must go up, my friends, and meet your grace
00:59:56where and what time your majesty shall please.
00:59:58I shall but be gone to join with Richmond.
01:00:00Forget not thy son George.
01:00:02I will not trust you, sir.
01:00:04My gracious sovereign!
01:00:06Now in Debshire, as I, my friends, am well advised,
01:00:08Sir William Corkney and the haughty Pellet,
01:00:10Bishop of Exeter, his brother there,
01:00:12with many more Confederates are in arms.
01:00:14I need to keep the Guildfords are in arms.
01:00:16Every hour more Confederates flock to their aid
01:00:18and their power increases.
01:00:20And Lord Marcus Dorset has said my liege are up in arms.
01:00:23My lord, the army of great Buckingham.
01:00:25Antony Young's nothing but sons of death.
01:00:27Their fate, though, that can not bring better news.
01:00:30Your base mistakes, the news I bring, is good.
01:00:32My news is that through sudden flood and fall of water
01:00:34the Duke of Buckingham's army is dispersed and scattered
01:00:36and he himself wandered away alone, no man knows whither.
01:00:39I try you mercies that I did mistake.
01:00:41Has any well-advised firm proclaimed reward to him
01:00:43that brings him Buckingham?
01:00:45Such proclamation hath been made, my liege.
01:00:46My liege, the Duke of Buckingham is taken.
01:01:02Off with his head.
01:01:05So much for Buckingham.
01:01:07That is the best news.
01:01:09That Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond,
01:01:11is with a mighty power landed at Milford
01:01:13is colder tidings, yet they must be told.
01:01:16Away towards Salisbury.
01:01:18Why, be reasoned here,
01:01:20a royal battle might be won and lost.
01:01:22Let it take order of Buckingham
01:01:24and brought to Salisbury.
01:01:26The rest march on with me.
01:01:28Then fire the expedition, be my wing.
01:01:30Jove's mercury and herald for a king.
01:01:33Here, pitch our tents.
01:01:37Even here, in Bosworth field.
01:01:44Why, how now, Catesby, why look you so sad?
01:01:47My heart is ten times lighter than my looks.
01:01:49My lord of Norfolk.
01:01:51Here, my lord of Norfolk.
01:01:53Here, my lord of Norfolk.
01:01:55Here, my lord of Norfolk.
01:01:57Here, my lord of Norfolk.
01:01:59Here, my lord of Norfolk.
01:02:00Here, my lord of Norfolk.
01:02:02Here, my lord of Norfolk.
01:02:04Here, my lord of Norfolk.
01:02:06Here, my lord of Norfolk.
01:02:08Here, my lord of Norfolk.
01:02:10Here, my lord of Norfolk.
01:02:12Here, my lord of Norfolk.
01:02:14Here, my lord of Norfolk.
01:02:16Here, my lord of Norfolk.
01:02:18Here, my lord of Norfolk.
01:02:20Here, my lord of Norfolk.
01:02:22Here, my lord of Norfolk.
01:02:24Here, my lord of Norfolk.
01:02:26Here, my lord of Norfolk.
01:02:28Here, my lord of Norfolk.
01:02:30Sir, LovellÉ
01:02:34Where is lord Stanley quartered, doth thou know?
01:02:36Unless I have misseen his colours much .
01:02:38his regiment lies half a mile at least
01:02:40to north of the bar of Paramalon.
01:02:42Send to him good Lovell,
01:02:44bid him bring his power before sun rising.
01:02:46lest his son George
01:02:48fall into the blind cave of eternal night.
01:02:52Come, valiant gentlemen,
01:02:54let us survey the bontage of the grant,
01:02:56let's want no discipline,
01:02:58make no delay for sirs.
01:03:00is a busy day.
01:03:02♪
01:03:28The Lord of Stanley, the King doth strain a charge
01:03:30that if you value your son George's life,
01:03:32you do present your host before the Crowing of the Cock.
01:03:58♪
01:04:28♪
01:04:38♪
01:04:48♪
01:04:58♪
01:05:08♪
01:05:21Fortune and victory sit on thy helm.
01:05:24All comfort of the dark hour can afford be to thy person,
01:05:27noble stepfather.
01:05:29Tell me, how fares our loving mother?
01:05:31I, by attorney, bless thee from thy mother,
01:05:33who prays continually for Richmond's good.
01:05:35So much for that.
01:05:37The silent hour's still on.
01:05:40In brief, for so the season bids us be,
01:05:43prepare thy battle early in the morning.
01:05:45I, as I may, with best advantage, will deceive the time
01:05:48and aid thee in this doubtful shock of ours.
01:05:51But on thy side I may not be too forward,
01:05:54lest, being seen, thy brother, tender George,
01:05:57be executed in his father's sight.
01:06:02Farewell.
01:06:04The leisure and the fearful time
01:06:06cuts off the ceremonious vows of love
01:06:08which so long-sundered friends should dwell upon.
01:06:11God grant us leisure under these rites of love.
01:06:15Once more, adieu, be valiant, and speed well.
01:06:20Good lords, conduct him to his regiment.

01:07:04What is the clock?
01:07:06It's supper time, my lord. It is nine o'clock.
01:07:10I will not sup tonight. Give me some ink and paper.
01:07:16What, is my helmet easier than it was,
01:07:18and all my armour laid into my tent?
01:07:20It is my beach, where all things are in readiness.
01:07:22Good Norfolk, hide thee to thy charge.
01:07:25Choose careful watch. Use trusty sentiments.
01:07:28Aye, go, my lord.
01:07:30Good night, good lover.
01:07:32Stir with the lark tomorrow, gentle Norfolk.
01:07:34Aye, warrant you, my lord.
01:07:40Catesby.
01:07:41My lord.
01:07:42Fill me a bowl of wine.
01:07:45Give me a watch.
01:07:52Saddle white sari for the field tomorrow.
01:07:56Look that my staves be sound, but not too heavy.
01:08:02O'Radcliffe.
01:08:04My lord.
01:08:05Saw you the melancholy lord Northumberland?
01:08:08Thomas, the Earl of Suffolk, and himself.
01:08:10Much about cockshot time, from troop to troop,
01:08:12went through the army, cheering up the soldiers.
01:08:16I'm satisfied. Give me a bowl of wine.
01:08:20I have not that alacrity of spirit,
01:08:23nor cheer of mind, that I was wont to...
01:08:27Sit it down.
01:08:28Is ink and paper ready?
01:08:30It is, my lord.
01:08:31Bid my guard watch. Leave me.
01:08:35Radcliffe.
01:08:37My lord.
01:08:38About the mid of night, come to my tent,
01:08:41and help to arm me.
01:08:49Leave me, I say.
01:09:20Once more, good night unto you all.
01:09:22I'll strive with troubled thoughts to take a nap.
01:09:25Lest leaden slumber weigh me down tomorrow,
01:09:27and I should mount with wings of victory.
01:09:29And so, once more, good night, kind lords and gentlemen.
01:09:32Good night, good Richmond.
01:09:33Good night.
01:09:50O thou whose captain I account myself,
01:09:54look on my forces with a gracious eye.
01:09:57Put in their hands thy bruising irons of wrath,
01:10:00that we may crush down with a heavy fall
01:10:02the usurping halberd of our adversaries.
01:10:05Make us thy ministers of chastisement,
01:10:08that we may praise thee in thy victory.
01:10:11To thee I do commend my watchful soul,
01:10:14ere I let fall the windows of mine eyes.
01:10:16Sleeping and waking,
01:10:19O defend me still.
01:10:46SLEEPING AND WAKING
01:11:17SLEEPING AND WAKING
01:11:36Let me sit heavy in thy soul tomorrow,
01:11:41I that was washed to death with fulsome wine,
01:11:46poor Clarence, by thy guile betrayed to death.
01:11:53Tomorrow, in the battle, think on me,
01:11:56and fall thy henchless sword.
01:12:00Despair and die.
01:12:06Dream on thy cousins, smothered in their tower,
01:12:10thy nephew's souls, bedieved, despair and die.
01:12:16Think on Lord Hastings, despair and die.
01:12:32Richard, thy wife, that wretched Anne, thy wife,
01:12:39that never slept a quiet hour with thee,
01:12:44now fills thy sleep with perturbations.
01:12:49Tomorrow, in the battle, think on me,
01:12:54and fall thy henchless sword.
01:12:59Despair and die.
01:13:13Die!
01:13:18Give me another horse.
01:13:23Binds up my wounds.
01:13:36Have mercy! Jesus!
01:13:43Have mercy!
01:14:00My lord.
01:14:02Who is there?
01:14:04Radcliffe, my lord, it is I.
01:14:06The early village cock hath twice done salutation to the morn.
01:14:09Your friends are up, and buckle on their armour.
01:14:12O Radcliffe, I have dreamed a fearful dream.
01:14:16What thinkest thou? Will our friends prove all true?
01:14:20No doubt, my lord.
01:14:22O Radcliffe, I fear.
01:14:25I fear.
01:14:27Nay, good my lord, be not afraid of shadows.
01:14:34By the apostle Paul, shadows to-night have struck more terror to the soul of Richard
01:14:39than can the substance of ten thousand soldiers,
01:14:42armèd in proof and led by shallow Richmond.
01:14:47Tell the clock there.
01:14:51Give me a calendar.
01:14:55Who saw the sun to-day?
01:14:57Not I, my lord.
01:14:59Then ye disdain to shine,
01:15:01for by the book he should have braved the east an hour ago.
01:15:06A black day will it be?
01:15:09To somebody.
01:15:14Catesby.
01:15:15My lord.
01:15:16The sun will not be seen to-day.
01:15:18The sky doth frown and lower upon our army.
01:15:22I would these dewy tears were from the ground
01:15:27not shine to-day.
01:15:34Why, what is that to me, mother to Richmond?
01:15:36The selfsame heaven that frowns on me looks sadly upon him.
01:15:39Come, come, my lord.
01:15:41The foe warns in the field.
01:15:54Come, bustle, bustle.
01:15:56Catarysal my horse.
01:15:57Call up Lord Standing.
01:15:58Bid him bring his power.
01:15:59I will lead forth my soldiers to the field.
01:16:01And thus my battle shall be ordered.
01:16:03My forward shall be drawn out all in length,
01:16:06consisting equally of horse and foot.
01:16:08Our archers shall be placed in the midst.
01:16:10John, Duke of Norfolk, and Thomas, Earl of Suffolk,
01:16:12shall have the leading of this foot and horse.
01:16:14They thus direct it.
01:16:15We will follow in the main battle,
01:16:17whose puritans on either side
01:16:18shall be well winged with our chiefest horse.
01:16:21This, and send George to boot.
01:16:22What thinks thou, Norfolk?
01:16:24A good direction, warlike sovereign.
01:16:27This found I on my tent this morning.
01:16:33Jockey of Norfolk, be not so bold,
01:16:37for Dickon thy master is bought.
01:16:42And so.
01:16:47A thing divisive by the enemy.
01:16:49My lord, the enemy are past the marsh.
01:16:54Go, noble gentlemen, every man to his charge.
01:16:57Let not our battling dreams affright our souls,
01:17:00for conscience is a word that cowards use,
01:17:03devised at first to keep the strong in awe.
01:17:06Conscience, avaunt!
01:17:14My lord, the enemy are past the marsh.
01:17:24Richard's himself again.
01:17:28March on!
01:17:30Join bravely.
01:17:32Let us to it tell men.
01:17:34If not to heaven, then hand in hand to hell.
01:17:38Fight, gentlemen of England.
01:17:40Fight, bold ye men.
01:17:42Draw archers, draw your arrows to the head.
01:17:46Bear your proud horse's heart,
01:17:48and ride in blood.
01:17:50Amaze the welkin with your broken stays.
01:20:21What says Lord Stanley? Will he bring his power?
01:20:24Lord, we are denied to come.
01:20:26Off with his son, George, his head.
01:20:28My lord, the time admits not such a cause.
01:20:30After the battle, let George Stanley die.
01:20:50A thousand hearts are great within my bosom.
01:20:56Advance our standards.
01:20:58Set upon our foes.
01:21:03Our ancient word of courage,
01:21:05fair sentiment, and wisdom,
01:21:07shall be our guide.
01:21:09Let us march on.
01:21:11Let us march on.
01:21:13Let us march on.
01:21:15Let us march on.
01:21:18Our ancient word of courage, fair St. George,
01:21:21inspire us with the spleen of fiery dragons.
01:21:25Upon them.
01:21:27Victory sits in our hands.
01:21:47Victory sits in our hands.
01:22:17Let's go.
01:22:47Let's go.
01:23:17Let's go.
01:23:48Rescue!
01:23:54Rescue!
01:24:00My lord of Norfolk!
01:24:02Rescue!
01:24:04The king enacts more wonders than a man,
01:24:06daring an opposite to every danger.
01:24:08His horses strain, and all on foot he fights,
01:24:11seeking for rich men in the front of death.
01:24:13Rescue, fair lord,
01:24:15or else the day is lost.
01:24:32A horse!
01:24:34A horse!
01:24:36My kingdom for a horse!
01:24:40Withdraw, my lord.
01:24:42Withdraw, my lord.
01:24:44I'll help you to a horse.
01:24:46Slave,
01:24:48I have set my life upon a cast,
01:24:50and I will stand the hazard of the die.
01:24:52I think there be six rich ones in the field.
01:24:55Five have I slain today instead of him.
01:24:58A horse!
01:25:01A horse!
01:25:03My kingdom for a horse!
01:25:12A horse!
01:25:42A horse!
