Richard II by William Shakespeare
Act 5 - Scene 4
The same.
Sir Pierce of Exton : Didst thou not mark the king, what words he spake,
[p]'Have I no
friend will rid me of this living fear?'
[p]Was it not so?
Servant : These were his very words.
Sir Pierce of Exton : 'Have I no friend?' quoth he: he spake it twice,
[p]And urged it twice
together, did he not?
Servant : He did.
Sir Pierce of Exton : And speaking it, he wistly look'd on me,
[p]And who should say, 'I
would thou wert the man'
[p]That would divorce this terror from my
heart;'
[p]Meaning the king at Pomfret. Come, let's go:
[p]I am the
king's friend, and will rid his foe.
