Richard II
[I, 4]

Duke of Aumerle

Faith, none for me; except the north-east wind,
Which then blew bitterly against our faces,
Awaked the sleeping rheum, and so by chance
Did grace our hollow parting with a tear.

Richard II
[II, 1]

Earl of Northumberland

953

But, lords, we hear this fearful tempest sing,
Yet see no shelter to avoid the storm;
We see the wind sit sore upon our sails,
And yet we strike not, but securely perish.

But none returns. For us to levy power
Proportionable to the enemy
Is all unpossible.
