Till thou, the lie-giver, and that lie do lie
In earth as quiet as thy father’s skull.
In proof whereof, there is my honour’s pawn. [70]
Engage it to the trial if thou darest.

FIT ZWAT ER

How fondly dost thou spur a forward horse!
If I dare eat, or drink, or breathe, or live,
I dare meet Surrey in a wilderness
And spit upon him whilst I say he lies, [75]
And lies, and lies. There is my bond of faith
To tie thee to my strong correction.
As I intend to thrive in this new world
Aumerle is guilty of my true appeal.
Besides, I heard the banished Norfolk say [80]
That thou, Aumerle, didst send two of thy men
To execute the noble Duke at Calais.

AUMERLE

Some honest Christian trust me with a gage,
That Norfolk lies; here do I throw down this,
If he may be repealed to try his honour. [85]

BOLINGBROKE

These differences shall all rest under gage
Till Norfolk be repeal’d. Repeal’d he shall be,
And, though mine enemy, restored again
To all his lands and signories. When he is return’d
Against Aumerle we will enforce his trial. [90]

CARLISLE

That honourable day shall ne’er be seen.
Many a time hath banish’d Norfolk fought
For Jesu Christ in glorious Christian field,
Streaming the ensign of the Christian cross
Against black pagans, Turks, and Saracens, [95]
And, toil’d with works of war, retir’d himself
To Italy, and there at Venice gave
His body to that pleasant country’s earth,
And his pure soul unto his captain, Christ,
