:Must I do so? And must I ravel out :My weav'd-up follies? Gentle Northumberland, :If thy offences were upon record, :Would it not shame thee in so fair a troop :To read a lecture of them? If thou wouldst, :There shouldst thou find one heinous article, :Containing the deposing of a king :And cracking the strong warrant of an oath, :Mark'd with a blot, damn'd in the book of heaven. :Nay, all of you that stand and look upon me :Whilst that my wretchedness doth bait myself, :Though some of you, with Pilate, wash your hands, :Showing an outward pity; yet you Pilates :Have here deliver'd me to my sour cross, :And water cannot wash away your sin.
