MY DEAR TRUSTED RICHARD I CHARGE YOU THIS DAY
BRING OUR FATHER AND BROTHER TO FOTHERINGHAY
TO THE CHURCH, NEAR OUR CASTLE OF FOTHERINGHAY
THE CHURCH NEAR OUR CASTLE AT FOTHERINGHAY
AND I WILL MAKE CERTAIN THE CHAPEL OF REST
FOR THE RE-INTERMENT INVITE ROYAL GUESTS
MATINS AT MIDNIGHT AND MASS AT EACH DAWNING
FOUR HUNDRED POOR MEN WITH TORCHES IN MOURNING
MY DEAR TRUSTED RICHARD I CHARGE YOU THIS DAY
BRING OUR FATHER AND BROTHER TO FOTHERINGHAY
TO THE CHURCH, NEAR OUR CASTLE OF FOTHERINGHAY
THE CHURCH NEAR OUR CASTLE AT FOTHERINGHAY
THE DUKE OF YORK'S EFFIGY IN PURPLE ERMINE
THE ROYAL PROGRESS EACH SIGN WILL DETERMINE
MARK OUT THE WAY THE PROCESSION WILL FOLLOW
MY SUBJECTS SHALL SHARE IN THE DEPTH OF OUR SORROW
MY DEAR TRUSTED RICHARD I CHARGE YOU THIS DAY
BRING OUR FATHER AND BROTHER TO FOTHERINGHAY
TO THE CHURCH, NEAR OUR CASTLE OF FOTHERINGHAY
THE CHURCH NEAR OUR CASTLE AT FOTHERINGHAY
AND I WILL ASSEMBLE THE GREAT OF THE LAND
AMBASSADORS, ENVOYS AND ALL I COMMAND
NINE BISHOPS TO PRAY FOR OUR FATHER AND EDMUND
LAY THEM TO REST AND OUR PRAYERS WE DO SEND THEM
MY DEAR TRUSTED RICHARD I CHARGE YOU THIS DAY
BRING OUR FATHER AND BROTHER TO FOTHERINGHAY
