:'Tis thought the king is dead; we will not stay. :The bay trees in our country are all wither'd, :And meteors fright the fixed stars of heaven; :The pale-fac'd moon looks bloody on the earth :And lean-look'd prophets whisper fearful change; :Rich men look sad, and ruffians dance and leap, :The one in fear to lose what they enjoy, :The other to enjoy by rage and war. :These signs forerun the death or fall of kings. :Farewell: our countrymen are gone and fled, :As well assur'd Richard their king is dead.
