  1. Discomfortable cousin, know\u2019st thou not<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. That when the searching eye of heaven is hid<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Behind the globe that lights the lower world,<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Then thieves and robbers range abroad unseen<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. In murders and in outrage boldly here?<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. But when from under this terrestrial ball<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. He fires the proud tops of the eastern pines<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. And darts his light through every guilty hole,<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Then murders, treasons, and detested sins,<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. The cloak of night being plucked from off their backs,<\/span><\/li>\n
  11. Stand bare and naked, trembling at themselves.<\/span><\/li>\n
  12. So when this thief, this traitor Bolingbroke,<\/span><\/li>\n

  15. Shall see us rising in our throne, the east,<\/span><\/li>\n
  16. His treasons will sit blushing in his face,<\/span><\/li>\n
  17. Not able to endure the sight of day,<\/span><\/li>\n
  18. But self-affrighted, tremble at his sin.<\/span><\/li>\n
  19. Not all the water in the rough rude sea<\/span><\/li>\n
  20. Can wash the balm off from an anointed king.<\/span><\/li>\n
  21. The breath of worldly men cannot depose<\/span><\/li>\n
  22. The deputy elected by the Lord.<\/span><\/li>\n
  23. For every man that Bolingbroke hath pressed<\/span><\/li>\n
  24. To lift shrewd steel against our golden crown,<\/span><\/li>\n
  25. God for His Richard hath in heavenly pay<\/span><\/li>\n
  26. A glorious angel. Then, if angels fight,<\/span><\/li>\n
  27. Weak men must fall, for heaven still guards the right.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
