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

:Then thus: I have from Le Port Blanc, a bay :In Brittany, receiv'd intelligence :That Harry Duke of Hereford, Rainold Lord Cobham, :That late broke from the Duke of Exeter, :His brother, Archbishop late of Canterbury, :Sir Thomas Erpingham, Sir John Ramston, :Sir John Norbery, Sir Robert Waterton, and Francis Quoint, :All these well furnish'd by the Duke of Britaine, :With eight tall ships, three thousand men of war, :Are making hither with all due expedience, :And shortly mean to touch our northern shore. :Perhaps they had ere this, but that they stay :The first departing of the king for Ireland. :If then we shall shake off our slavish yoke, :Imp out our drooping country's broken wing, :Redeem from broking pawn the blemish'd crown, :Wipe off the dust that hides our sceptre's gilt, :And make high majesty look like itself, :Away with me in post to Ravenspurgh; :But if you faint, as fearing to do so, :Stay and be secret, and myself will go.
