Richm.
God and your arms ^note be praised, victorious friends ^note!
The day is ours; the bloody dog ^note is dead.

Der. ^note
Courageous Richmond, well hast thou acquit thee.
Lo, here, this long usurped royalty ^{note note}
From the dead temples of this bloody wretch
Have I pluck'd off, to grace thy brows withal:
Wear it, enjoy it ^note, and make much ^note of it.

Richm.
Great God of heaven, say amen to all!
But, tell me ^note, is young ^note George Stanley living?

Der.
He is, my lord, and safe in Leicester town;
Whither, if it please you ^note, we may now ^{note note} withdraw us.

Richm.
What men of name ^note are slain on either side?

Der. ^note
John Duke of Norfolk, Walter ^note Lord Ferrers ^note,

Sir Robert Brakenbury ^note, and ^note Sir William Brandon ^note.

Richm.
Inter their bodies as becomes ^note their births:
Proclaim a pardon to the soldiers fled
That in submission will return to us:
And then, as we have ta'en the sacrament,
We will unite the white rose and the red.
Smile heaven ^note upon this fair conjunction,
That long have ^note frown'd upon their enmity!
What traitor hears me, and says not amen?
England hath long been mad, and scarr'd herself;
The brother blindly shed the brother's blood,
The father rashly ^note slaughter'd his own son,
The son, compell'd, been butcher to the ^note sire ^note:
All this ^note divided York and Lancaster,
Divided ^note in their ^note dire division ^note, ^note
O, now let Richmond and Elizabeth,
The true succeeders of each royal house,
By God's fair ordinance conjoin together!
And let their ^note heirs, God, if thy ^note will be so,
Enrich the time to come with smooth-faced ^note peace,
With smiling plenty and fair prosperous days ^note!
Abate ^note the edge of traitors, gracious Lord,
That would reduce these bloody days again,
And make poor England weep in streams of blood!
Let them not live to taste this land's increase

That would with treason wound this fair land's peace!
Now civil wounds are stopp'd, peace lives again:
That she may long live here ^note, God say amen! [Exeunt. ^note
