From Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Oxford 1911)/Volume 4/The Tragedy of King Richard the Second by Oxford 1911

:Look, what I speak, my life shall prove it true; :That Mowbray hath receiv'd eight thousand nobles :In name of lendings for your highness' soldiers, :The which he hath detain'd for lewd employments, :Like a false traitor and injurious villain. :Besides, I say and will in battle prove, :Or here, or elsewhere to the furthest verge :That ever was survey'd by English eye, :That all the treasons for these eighteen years :Complotted and contrived in this land, :Fetch from false Mowbray their first head and spring. :Further I say, and further will maintain :Upon his bad life to make all this good, :That he did plot the Duke of Gloucester's death, :Suggest his soon-believing adversaries, :And consequently, like a traitor coward, :Sluic'd out his innocent soul through streams of blood: :Which blood, like sacrificing Abel's, cries, :Even from the tongueless caverns of the earth, :To me for justice and rough chastisement; :And, by the glorious worth of my descent, :This arm shall do it, or this life be spent.
