In his speech, the King calls out the traitors who do not see it
coming at all, Scroop, Cambridge, and Grey.
He finds out that they are set to kill him, but they feel as though they
can get away with it by putting the blame on someone else. However, the King
makes a speech to address the traitors and have them put to death for their
actions. He explains how he has felt betrayed by the men who have worked so
closely with him, but want him dead. Since the men showed little compassion
towards the man they wanted to frame, the King shows no compassion for them
when sentencing them to death. It is an emotional speech that is also filled
with anger as the King prosecutes the three men that he felt was loyal to him
and even says that he will weep for them. (137)
