[Vocabulary] Ill rest betide the chamber where thou liest!

[atabitaraf]

This is a dialogue in Richard III,

What is the meaning of 'liest'? And what does Anee mean by saying, 'Ill rest betide the chamber where thou liest!'?

I couldn't find 'liest' in dictionary.

It's 17th century English. You won't find it in a modern dictionary. Perhaps this might help you: http://nfs.sparknotes.com/richardiii/page_26.html

Dear Bhaisahab, it was my link in post #1.
May I ask you what 'liest' means?

"Where thou liest" means "Where you are lying/resting".
