To morrow in the battell thinke on me,
And fall thy edgelesse Sword, dispaire and dye.

The wronged heyres of Yorke do pray for thee,
Good Angels guard thy battell, Liue and Flourish.

And weigh thee downe to ruine, shame, and death,

Ghosts to Richm[ond].

Ghost to Rich[ard].
Richard, thy Wife,

Now filles thy sleepe with perturbations,
To morrow in the Battaile, thinke on me,
And fall thy edgelesse Sword, dispaire and dye:
Ghost to Richm[ond].

Sleepe thou a quiet sleepe:
Dreame of Successe, and Happy Victory,

Enter the Ghost of Buckingham.
Ghost to Rich[ard].
The first was I
That help'd thee to the Crowne:
That last was I that felt thy Tyranny.
O, in the Battaile think on Buckingham,
And dye in terror of thy guiltinesse.
Dreame on, dreame on, of bloody deeds and death,
Fainting dispaire; dispairing yeeld thy breath.
Ghost to Richm[ond].
I dyed for hope
Ere I could lend thee Ayde;
But cheere thy heart, and be thou not dismayde:
God, and good Angels fight on Richmonds side,
And Richard fall in height of all his pride.
Richard starts out of his dreame.
Rich. Giue me another Horse, bind vp my Wounds:
Haue mercy Iesu. Soft, I did but dreame.
O coward Conscience? how dost thou afflict me?
The Lights burne blew. It is not dead midnight.
Cold fearefull drops stand on my trembling flesh.
