Chapter 19 act five

The first Salisbury.open space The inspector led the guards and pushed Buckingham up to the execution ground. Buckingham King Richard Won't I speak a word with him? The constable can't, my good lord; so be still. Buckingham-Hastings, Edward's children, Gray, Rivers, Henry the Great, and his son Edward, Vaughan, and all who have been plotted to die, if your ghosts can pass through Stratus, when you realize this moment, feel free to laugh at my destruction just to vent your anger!It's All Souls' Day, brethren, isn't it? Yes, my lord. Buckingham, All Souls' Day is the end of my body.This is the day when I swore, in the reign of King Edward, that if I be untrue to the heir, or unfaithful to the queen's ally, this end shall befall me; I have vowed to be betrayed and killed by those I trust most; this, this festival of all souls has really driven me out of my mind, and my crimes cannot escape this final judgment.How can the clear eyes of the gods be deceived? I don't know how to control myself and want to play tricks. I used to pretend to swear by God and deceive the sky, but now I am hurting myself.The gangsters were on the verge of breaking out their swords, but the spearheads finally pierced their own chests, and Margaret's curse had already fallen on my head.She said, "When he wants you to grieve and break your heart, remember that I, Margaret, am a prophetess." Well, brethren, lead me to the place of evil; People have to blame themselves. (same below.)

Field 2 near Tamwas Enter Richmond, Oxford, James Brent, Walter Herbert, and others.Drums and banners lead the way. Gentlemen of Richmond, my dearest friends, you have been ravaged in the yoke of violence, and have now marched undisturbed in the hinterland; here is a letter from my stepfather, Stanley, Between the lines is full of comfort and encouragement.This vicious, bloody, tyrannical beast has trampled your rich farmland and orchards. He sucks your blood as leftovers, and uses people's wounds as his drinking trough. This evil human-faced beast is still entrenched at this moment. The center of my island country is reported to be near the town of Lester; and the march from Tamwas is but a day's journey away.In the name of God, my brave friends, march forward with singing, this fierce bloody battle will bring us everlasting peace.

If everyone in Oxford is sincere, one can be worth one thousand, which is enough to defeat this sinful executioner. Herbert I am sure his friends will turn against him. Brent had no friends. Everyone was threatened by him and dared not leave. When he was in trouble, he was naturally abandoned. Richmond, all is in my favor; march forward, in the name of God.Once success is in sight, it is like a swallow passing through the sky; with hope, kings can become gods, and commoners can become kings. (same below.) The third Boss Committee battlefield Enter King Richard with his troops; Norfolk, Surrey, and the rest.

King Richard camped here, right here in the Boston Field.My lord Surrey, why are you so sad? Sally, my heart is ten times lighter than my face. King Richard, my lord of Norfolk— Norfolk I am here, most gracious king. King Richard Norfolk, who can not be attacked; ha, can it? Norfolk comes and goes, my dear king. King Richard pitch my tent!I'll sleep here tonight; (soldiers set up camp) But where will tomorrow be?Irrelevant, same everywhere.Who scouted how many traitors there were? Norfolk has no more than six or seven thousand people. King Richard, we have three times as many troops as they do; besides, the reputation of a king is strength, which the other party has not.Put up the tent!Come with me, noble friends, let us inspect the situation in the field; find some men who are skilled in tactics, we must not take experience lightly, and act quickly; you know, my lords, tomorrow is a heavy day. . (same below.)

Richmond, William Brandon, Oxford and others entered from the other side of the battlefield.Soldiers pitched tents for Richmond. Richmond Lawton day the sun is golden, and the light from the steamer portends fine weather tomorrow.Sir William Brandon, you bear my banner.Bring me some paper and ink to my tent, and I will draw out our battle formations, designate the troops under each general's command, and distribute our limited forces appropriately.Your lord Oxford, and you, Sir Brandon; and you, Sir Herbert; you are with me.The Earl of Pembroke still leads a regiment of his; Captain Brent goes to bid him good night for me, and asks the Earl to meet me in my tent about two o'clock to-morrow morning.One more thing, good Captain, I want you to do for me; where Lord Stanley is camped, do you know?

BRENT Unless I've quite mistook his banner--but I've heard it told, and it's clear enough--his regiment is quartered south of the King's Army, at least a mile or more away. If Richmond is safe from danger, Captain Brent, I wish you to bid him good night and give him this very important note of mine. Brent Pledge my life, my lord, I will do it; may God give you a good night's sleep! Goodbye Richmond, Captain Brent.Come, friends, let's talk about tomorrow's business; go to the tent, it's bitterly cold outside. (The crowd retreats into the tent.) Enter KING RICHARD, Norfolk, Ratcliffe, and Catesby, to the tent.

What time is King Richard? Catesby It's supper time, my lord; it's nine o'clock. King Richard I don't want to eat tonight.Give me some paper and ink.Heh, is my helmet a bit wider?Have all my armor been put into the tent? Catesby has come in, my lord; all is set. KING RICHARD Good Norfolk, return to your troops; watch your guard, and pick a sure sentinel. I went to Norfolk, my lord. King Richard Rise tomorrow at the same time as the lark, good Norfolk. Norfolk promises no mistake, my lord. King Richard Ratcliffe! Ratcliff my king? King Richard sends a sergeant to Stanley's army; tell him to bring his army before sunrise, lest his son George fall into the bottomless pit of night.Fill me a bowl of wine.Give me a time candle.Saddle up the white horse Sully for battle tomorrow.See if my spear is useful, not too heavy.Ratcliffe!

Ratcliff my king! KING RICHARD Have you ever seen that sad Lord of Northumberland? Thomas, Earl of Ratcliffe Surrey, and the two of them watched the ranks in the twilight, moving from rank to rank, encouraging the soldiers. KING RICHARD That's my peace of mind.Give me a bowl of wine; I've lost that light-heartedness and the spirit I used to have.Wine put down.Do you have paper and ink? Ratcliff has it, my lord. King Richard tells the guards to beware, you go.Ratcliffe, come back to my tent about midnight and help me put on my armor.Now you go. (Enter King Richard. Exit Ratcliffe and Catesby.)

Richmond's tent was opened, and he and the soldiers were inside.Enter Stanley. Stanley wishes you good luck and victory on the battlefield! Richmond's noble stepfather, may this night give you peace too!How is my loving mother? Stanley I bless you on behalf of your mother, who prays day and night for your Richmond happiness; besides.The silent hour is changing secretly, and the clouds in the east are scattered in the dark.In short, time hastened us so, that in the morning you must prepare for battle, and let the brutal slash and murderous war decide your fate.As for me, I have more energy than energy, so I may take an opportunity to use my eyesight to help you when the outcome is uncertain; but I can't make it too obvious, otherwise, once you are discovered, your Little brother George will die right in front of me.Goodbye, this precious moment and urgent opportunity interrupted my sincere expression of affection, and it could not allow us to express our heartfelt songs. This was originally a chance for relatives and friends to reunite after a long absence; may God give us a better future , so we can have a good chat!Farewell once more; fight bravely, and I wish you victory!

Richmond My lords, escort him back to the regiment.Although my mind is restless, I still want to take a nap, otherwise if tomorrow I will be pressed down by heavy sleep, how can I fly the wings of victory and soar high.Wise adults, good night once again. (Exit all but Richmond) Oh!God, I profess to be your little general, may you look after my warriors; give them the swords and guns of your wrath, so that they may lash down on the fierce enemy and destroy their helmets!May you appoint us as your enforcers, so that we may rejoice in your victories!I want to hand over to you my trembling soul, before I sleep; oh!May you protect me day and night! (falls asleep.)

The ghost of Henry VI's son, Prince Edward, rises from between the two camps. SPIRIT (to King Richard) To-morrow I shall weigh upon your heart!Remember how you killed me at Tewkesbury and ruined my youth; I wish you would die of despair. (to Richmond) Rejoice, Richmond; The murdered princes still stand with you; Richmond, King Henry's heirs are here to comfort you. The ghost of Henry VI rises. Phantom (to King Richard) When I was alive, This embalmed body was pierced by thee, and scarred with swords; remember me and the Tower of London; die of despair!Henry VI may you die of despair. (to Richmond) Virtuous and holy man, you'll be a conqueror!Henry wishes you the throne, I come to comfort you in your sleep; may you prosper! The ghost of Clarence rises. SPIRIT (to King Richard) To-morrow I shall weigh upon your heart!I was drowned in the wine cellar by you, my poor Clarence was murdered by your plot!Tomorrow when you think of me on the battlefield, your blunt knife will fall; may you die of despair! (to Richmond) You Lancastrian scion, York's wronged grandson pray for you; may the angels keep you safe in battle!May you prosper and be born! The ghosts of Rivers, Gray and Vulcan rise. Ghost of Rivers (to King Richard) I die by Bonfret, and tomorrow I'll weigh on your heart!May you die of despair. Grey's Ghost (to King Richard) Think of Gray, and thy soul shall despair. Ghost of Vulcan (to King Richard) When you think of Vulcan, you should be terrified, and your sword and spear fall from your hands; may you die in despair. Three Ghosts (to Richmond) Wake up!Remember our grievances buried in Richard will conquer him!Wake up, I wish you victory! The ghost of Hastings rises. The Phantom (to King Richard) Bloody, sinful, and restless when waking; you'll end your life today in a bloody battle!Think of me Hastings, and you will die of despair. (to Richmond) Peaceful people, wake up, wake up!Pick up the sword and gun, and win the battle for the good of England! The ghosts of the two princes rise up. Two Phantoms (to King Richard) You shall dream your two nephews strangled in the tower; we shall penetrate into your heart, Richard, and bring you down to shame and death!The ghosts of the nephews want to see you die of despair! (to Richmond) Sleep, Richmond, sleep peacefully, wake joyfully; and angels keep you safe from that beast!Live and breathe, the royal hereditary fun is endless!Edward's unfortunate princes wish you Chanda. The ghost of Mrs. Ann rises. The Phantom (to King Richard) Richard, your wife, your unhappy wife Ann, who never slept a moment by your side, will make you toss and turn at this very moment.Tomorrow on the battlefield you think of me, your blunt knife will fall; you will die of despair! (to Richmond) May you sleep peacefully, my peaceful heart; let you dream of success, victory!Your enemy's wife is praying for you. The ghost of Buckingham rises. The Specter (to King Richard) I was the first to patronize your coronation; and the last to feel your majesty.Ah!In battle you will think of me, Buckingham, and die heartbroken for your crimes!Be your nightmare, dream of your bloody violence and death; despair in fainting, die in despair! (to Richmond) I'm sorry I ruined my hopes before I got to you; I hope you'll keep your ambition and your cares free.God and angels fought for Richmond; and Richard was to fall from his proud height. The ghosts dissipate.King Richard woke up from his dream. King Richard Give me another horse!Bandage my wounds!Forgive me, Jesus!wait!Could it be a dream.Oh, conscience is a coward, you disturb me so much!Blue shimmer.It was dead midnight.Beads of cold sweat hung on my flesh and I shivered.how!Am I afraid of myself?There is no one else around: Richard loves Richard; that is to say, I am I.Is there a murderer here?No.Yes, I am; then run for your life.how!escape from my own hand?Makes sense, otherwise I would have revenge on myself.how!Revenge yourself?ah!i love myself.What's cute?Have I ever done anything good for myself?Ah!No.ah!I actually hate myself for committing a heinous crime myself.I am a criminal.No, I'm talking nonsense; I'm not a criminal.Stupid thing, you should still talk about yourself; stupid, don't be self-righteous.My conscience sprang out a thousand tongues, and each tongue made a different appeal, each accusing me of being a criminal.Perjury, perjury, heinous crime; murder, brutal murder, unforgivable crime; all kinds of crimes, big and small, come to the courts and cry, "Guilty! Guilty!" There is only despair.No one in the world loves me anymore; even if I die, no one will sympathize with me; of course, I can't find anything worthy of my own pity, let alone others?I seem to see all the people I have killed come to my tent; and one by one threatens to take revenge on me Richard tomorrow. Enter Ratcliffe. Ratcliff my king! O King Richard!who is this Ratcliff Ratcliff, my king; it is I.The village rooster crowed early, and had already sung to the morning twice; the brethren had risen and put on their armor. King Richard, Ratcliffe!I had a nightmare.According to you, our comrades-in-arms are all reliable, right? Ratcliff Certainly, my lord. King Richard, Ratcliffe!I'm afraid, I'm afraid-- Ratcliff Fear not, good king, Fear not shadows. King Richard has the apostle Paul as his witness. The floating shadow of this night disturbed my soul, Richard, better than tens of thousands of Richmond's armored soldiers.It was not yet light at the moment.Come, come with me; I'll peep around our tent, and see if anyone's trying to sneak away. (same below.) Richmond woke up.Oxford and so on. Good day, Lords, Richmond! Richmond, pardon me, my lords, my watchful friends, you have caught me, a slob. How are you sleeping, my lords, my lords? After you dismissed Richmond, my lords, I felt drowsy, and fell into my sweetest and most auspicious dreams.I seem to see all the people that Richard killed come to my tent, shouting victory; and, to tell the truth, I am very happy to recall such a dream.How long will it be before dawn, adults? The princes are striking four o'clock. Richmond Then it's time to put on your armor and call the shots. (Addressing the Soldiers) Dear fellow citizens, time is too short for me to talk to you; but remember this, God and justice are with us; holy saints and wronged The dead pray for us, and they stand before us like a towering fortress; and none of his men but Richard would not rather have us conquer, lest he should.Want to know what kind of person they are following?Brethren, he is indeed a murderous tyrant; he grew in human blood, and made his fortune by shedding blood; exploited his established position to expand his power, slaughtered his own counselors, crossed rivers and demolished bridges; a vile fake gem, empty To shine with the throne of England is to pretend to be a misfit; he is always the enemy of God.Since you are at war with the enemies of God, you will be blessed by God as soldiers of God; if you wipe out the evil with your sweat, you can sit back and relax after success; if you defeat the public enemies for the country, the country will naturally reward you with fat ;If you fight to protect the safety of your wives and children, your wives and children will come to welcome the victors back to their homes;So, in the name of God and all these rights, go forth with your banner, and draw your sword and kill the enemy of your own will.As for me, for this heroic battle, I will fight hard, even in the cold soil; but if I am lucky to win, the fruits of this victory will be shared with each of your soldiers.Drums and trumpets, shout for joy; God and St. George are here!Richmond and Victory! (same below.) Re-enter KING RICHARD, Ratcliffe, Attendants, and Soldiers. What did King Richard of Northumberland think of Richmond? Ratcliffe thought he had never been tempered by war. King Richard he is right, what about Sully? Ratcliffe said, smiling, "It is to our advantage." KING RICHARD He speaks well; (Bell) How many times did that clock strike?Give me an almanac.Has anyone seen the sun today? Ratcliff I have none, my lord. KING RICHARD It hath not wished to shine; According to this almanac, It should have sprung up in the east an hour ago; And whose turn shall it be to-day when the sky is so gloomy?Ratcliffe! Ratcliff my king? King Richard can't see the sun to-day; the clouds cover the sky, and weigh down my army. ——Are these dews not tears gushing from the ground?The sun is out today! ——However, is this on my side?Isn't it the same over there in Richmond?The sky is impartial, frowning at me, and laughing at him. Enter Norfolk. Put on your armor, Norfolk, put on your armor, my king!The enemy shouted and cursed on the battlefield. King Richard come, hurry, hurry; put on my saddle.Go to the Earl of Stanley, and tell him to bring his troops: I will lead my troops out to fight, and so is the formation; my vanguard is in a line, half cavalry and foot; and our archers are in line middle.The Duke of Norfolk and Thomas Surrey led the infantry and cavalry respectively.When they are properly arranged, I will use the main force to respond, and the power of the left and right wings will be enriched by the main cavalry.This lineup, plus the help of St. George!What do you think, Norfolk? Norfolk is well laid out, a warlike lord.I found this note in my account this morning. (A paper roll is shown.) King Richard "Norfolk, you horse dealer, don't be too bold, Because your devil boss has been betrayed. " This is a trick played by the enemy.Let's go, soldiers, take up our respective tasks.Let not chattering and sleep-babbling frighten us; conscience is but a word cowards use, Which they dread the mighty, and excuse them; our bones are our conscience, our swords are our laws.Go forward, fight bravely, let's charge forward; even if we can't go to heaven, we should enter the gate of hell hand in hand. (Speech to the soldiers) Why should I repeat what I said?Just remember what they were: a gang of rascals, thugs, and fugitives, Breton scum, peasants, who, for the narrowness of the land, flooded out, one by one desperate, seeing their ruin, And buried without a place.You sleep peacefully, they want to disturb you; you have good land and beautiful wives, they want to forcibly occupy, rape and plunder.Who is leading them?It turned out to be an insignificant boy, who relied on his mother's empress, and was sheltered in Brittany all year round.He was a sallow, soft-boned fellow who had never been weathered.This is a bunch of French wretches wandering abroad, beyond their means; a group of beggars, hungry, desperate to survive; they have nowhere to go, and if they don't dare to find another way of life, these poor wretches will only die. ;Let us now flog them into the sea, and sweep them clean; and if we shall be conquered, it shall be like men, and not these bastard bastards of Breton; They have been suppressed and mopped up, and they have become a despicable villain in history.Could it be that they have come to ravage our country?Come to fornicate our wives and daughters? (Distant drums beating) Hear their drums!Fight, British!Fight, brave soldiers!Draw your bows, archers, mount your arrows!Stab your strong horses hard, and kill a bloody road; don't be afraid that the spears will be broken, and you will startle the battle clouds in Tianxin! Enter the Messenger. What did Sir Richard King Stanley say?Is he ready to bring a team? Messenger my king, he cannot speak. King Richard beheaded his son George! Norfolk My lord, the enemy has overtaken the marshes; When we have won this battle, George Stanley will be killed. King Richard A thousand swollen hearts beating in my bosom, Our banner marches!Kill to the enemy!May our old battle-cry - St. George in majestic form - inspire us and give us the courage of a dragon!Charge up!Victory rests upon our helmets. (same below.) The other side of the fourth battlefield Drums and horns beeping: melee.Enter Norfolk, with soldiers; Catesby comes forward. Catesby to the rescue, Lord Norfolk!Quick, come to the rescue!The king's martial prowess is as great as any man's, and none of his opponents can stand him; his horse is dead, and he fights on the plains, hunting Richmond in the jaws of death.Hurry up and rescue him, my lord, or you will lose today! The drums and horns sounded together.King Richard. King Richard a horse!a horse!My throne for a horse! Catesby draw back, my lord; I'll help you mount. King Richard slave!I've bet my life, and I'd rather put all my eggs in one basket and win or lose.I thought there were six Richmonds in the field; five were beheaded today, but not him. --a horse!a horse!My throne for a horse! (same below.) The drums and horns sounded together.King Richard and Richmond came up on both sides, fighting each other down.Sound the bugle.Re-enter Richmond, and Stanley with the crown, and all the Dukes and Soldiers. Richmond praise God and your deeds, victorious friends; today we are victorious, and the man-eating beast is dead. Stanley, gallant Richmond, you have made it!Please look!This long-usurped crown I have taken from that culprit's head, To add to your brow; wear it, and enjoy it. Richmond, great God in heaven, Amen to all peoples!But what about the life of little George Stanley? Stanley He is still, my lord, in the town of Lester; if you please, we may rest there for a while. Who are the notable people who died on both sides of Richmond? Stanley, John, Duke of Norfolk, Lord Walter Friars, Sir Robert Brakenbury, and Sir William Brandon. Richmond buried according to their ranks; pardons for fugitive soldiers, let them come and submit; and then, as we swore to the gods, the red and white roses shall be one family.The two royal families have been feuding for a long time, and they have the will to disobey God. May God turn his anger into joy today and praise the good alliance!Even if a traitor hears my words, who can not say amen?The people of our country have been devastated for years, and the land is full of scars; brothers fight against the wall, causing bloody disasters, the father kills his own son in a fit of anger, and the son has no scruples, wielding a knife to kill his father; all these make York and Lang The two royal families of Kester have betrayed each other and have had a deep hatred for generations. Now the orthodox heirs of the two royal families, Richmond and Elizabeth, are married to each other by God's will; God, as you have promised, may my two The descendants of the people will enjoy peace forever, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and may the year be full of prosperity and prosperity!Merciful Lord, please don't let the rebellion rampant again, make the cruel years repeat the same mistakes, and let blood and tears flow again on our land!May you never let traitors share the food of the people!Today, the war in the country has ceased, and peace has reappeared; cheers, long live peace, and God bestows blessings! (same below.) 2w2 note Clarence's first name, George (George), and Gloucester (Gloucester), both start with the word G. The pun in the original text (orelselieforyou) is here reluctantly translated from the pun; lying (lie) is equally "shameful" as going to jail (lie). That is Mrs. Ann. Both Richard and Edward (Ann's ex-husband) were named Plantagenet. The Countess of Richmond, the great-granddaughter of John Gaunt, first married the Earl of Richmond and gave birth to Richmond (later Henry VII); later married Stanley, Earl of Derby.The eldest son of Stanley's ex-wife is George Jr. In the original text, "calling" and "calling scolding" are puns. "Old Testament": In the twenty-sixth chapter, it says: "Snow in summer and rain in harvest are not suitable." Pilate was the governor of Judea. The crowd led Jesus to him and demanded that Jesus be crucified. Pilate stopped him, but he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this righteous man's blood. Be it." See New Testament: Matthew 27. Woodville and Skiles are Rivers titles. Elizabeth? Lucy for Edward's mistress. It means "Go to the sky".See the twenty-second verse of the sixteenth chapter of Luke. Richmond, the son of Stanley's stepwife, fled to Brittany, France after the Battle of Tewkesbury; Elizabeth, daughter of Edward IV, finally married Richmond.
