<SPEAKER>GLOUCESTER</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I would they were, that I might die at once;</LINE>
<LINE>For now they kill me with a living death.</LINE>
<LINE>Those eyes of thine from mine have drawn salt tears,</LINE>
<LINE>Shamed their aspect with store of childish drops:</LINE>
<LINE>These eyes that never shed remorseful tear,</LINE>
<LINE>No, when my father York and Edward wept,</LINE>
<LINE>To hear the piteous moan that Rutland made</LINE>
<LINE>When black-faced Clifford shook his sword at him;</LINE>
<LINE>Nor when thy warlike father, like a child,</LINE>
<LINE>Told the sad story of my father's death,</LINE>
<LINE>And twenty times made pause to sob and weep,</LINE>
<LINE>That all the standers-by had wet their cheeks</LINE>
<LINE>Like trees bedash'd with rain: in that sad time</LINE>
<LINE>My manly eyes did scorn an humble tear;</LINE>
<LINE>And what these sorrows could not thence exhale,</LINE>
<LINE>Thy beauty hath, and made them blind with weeping.</LINE>
<LINE>I never sued to friend nor enemy;</LINE>
<LINE>My tongue could never learn sweet smoothing word;</LINE>
<LINE>But now thy beauty is proposed my fee,</LINE>
<LINE>My proud heart sues, and prompts my tongue to speak.</LINE>
<STAGEDIR>She looks scornfully at him</STAGEDIR>
<LINE>Teach not thy lips such scorn, for they were made</LINE>
<LINE>For kissing, lady, not for such contempt.</LINE>
<LINE>If thy revengeful heart cannot forgive,</LINE>
<LINE>Lo, here I lend thee this sharp-pointed sword;</LINE>
<LINE>Which if thou please to hide in this true bosom.</LINE>
<LINE>And let the soul forth that adoreth thee,</LINE>
<LINE>I lay it naked to the deadly stroke,</LINE>
<LINE>And humbly beg the death upon my knee.</LINE>
<STAGEDIR>He lays his breast open: she offers at it with his sword</STAGEDIR>
<LINE>Nay, do not pause; for I did kill King Henry,</LINE>
<LINE>But 'twas thy beauty that provoked me.</LINE>
<LINE>Nay, now dispatch; 'twas I that stabb'd young Edward,</LINE>
<LINE>But 'twas thy heavenly face that set me on.</LINE>
<STAGEDIR>Here she lets fall the sword</STAGEDIR>
<LINE>Take up the sword again, or take up me.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>LADY ANNE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Arise, dissembler: though I wish thy death,</LINE>
<LINE>I will not be the executioner.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>GLOUCESTER</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Then bid me kill myself, and I will do it.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>LADY ANNE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I have already.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>GLOUCESTER</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Tush, that was in thy rage:</LINE>
<LINE>Speak it again, and, even with the word,</LINE>
<LINE>That hand, which, for thy love, did kill thy love,</LINE>
<LINE>Shall, for thy love, kill a far truer love;</LINE>
<LINE>To both their deaths thou shalt be accessary.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>LADY ANNE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I would I knew thy heart.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>GLOUCESTER</SPEAKER>
<LINE>'Tis figured in my tongue.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>LADY ANNE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I fear me both are false.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>GLOUCESTER</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Then never man was true.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>LADY ANNE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Well, well, put up your sword.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>GLOUCESTER</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Say, then, my peace is made.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>LADY ANNE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>That shall you know hereafter.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>GLOUCESTER</SPEAKER>
<LINE>But shall I live in hope?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>LADY ANNE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>All men, I hope, live so.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>GLOUCESTER</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Vouchsafe to wear this ring.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>LADY ANNE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>To take is not to give.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>GLOUCESTER</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Look, how this ring encompasseth finger.</LINE>
<LINE>Even so thy breast encloseth my poor heart;</LINE>
<LINE>Wear both of them, for both of them are thine.</LINE>
<LINE>And if thy poor devoted suppliant may</LINE>
<LINE>But beg one favour at thy gracious hand,</LINE>
<LINE>Thou dost confirm his happiness for ever.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>LADY ANNE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>What is it?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>GLOUCESTER</SPEAKER>
<LINE>That it would please thee leave these sad designs</LINE>
<LINE>To him that hath more cause to be a mourner,</LINE>
<LINE>And presently repair to Crosby Place;</LINE>
<LINE>Where, after I have solemnly interr'd</LINE>
<LINE>At Chertsey monastery this noble king,</LINE>
<LINE>And wet his grave with my repentant tears,</LINE>
<LINE>I will with all expedient duty see you:</LINE>
<LINE>For divers unknown reasons. I beseech you,</LINE>
<LINE>Grant me this boon.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>LADY ANNE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>With all my heart; and much it joys me too,</LINE>
<LINE>To see you are become so penitent.</LINE>
<LINE>Tressel and Berkeley, go along with me.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>GLOUCESTER</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Bid me farewell.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>LADY ANNE</SPEAKER>
<LINE>'Tis more than you deserve;</LINE>
<LINE>But since you teach me how to flatter you,</LINE>
<LINE>Imagine I have said farewell already.</LINE>
</SPEECH>


<STAGEDIR>Exeunt LADY ANNE, TRESSEL, and BERKELEY</STAGEDIR>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>GLOUCESTER</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Sirs, take up the corse.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>GENTLEMEN</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Towards Chertsey, noble lord?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>GLOUCESTER</SPEAKER>
<LINE>No, to White-Friars; there attend my coining.</LINE>
<STAGEDIR>Exeunt all but GLOUCESTER</STAGEDIR>
<LINE>Was ever woman in this humour woo'd?</LINE>
<LINE>Was ever woman in this humour won?</LINE>
<LINE>I'll have her; but I will not keep her long.</LINE>
<LINE>What! I, that kill'd her husband and his father,</LINE>
<LINE>To take her in her heart's extremest hate,</LINE>
<LINE>With curses in her mouth, tears in her eyes,</LINE>
<LINE>The bleeding witness of her hatred by;</LINE>
<LINE>Having God, her conscience, and these bars</LINE>
<LINE>against me,</LINE>
<LINE>And I nothing to back my suit at all,</LINE>
<LINE>But the plain devil and dissembling looks,</LINE>
<LINE>And yet to win her, all the world to nothing!</LINE>
<LINE>Ha!</LINE>
<LINE>Hath she forgot already that brave prince,</LINE>
<LINE>Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since,</LINE>
<LINE>Stabb'd in my angry mood at Tewksbury?</LINE>
<LINE>A sweeter and a lovelier gentleman,</LINE>
<LINE>Framed in the prodigality of nature,</LINE>
<LINE>Young, valiant, wise, and, no doubt, right royal,</LINE>
<LINE>The spacious world cannot again afford</LINE>
<LINE>And will she yet debase her eyes on me,</LINE>
<LINE>That cropp'd the golden prime of this sweet prince,</LINE>
<LINE>And made her widow to a woful bed?</LINE>
<LINE>On me, whose all not equals Edward's moiety?</LINE>
<LINE>On me, that halt and am unshapen thus?</LINE>
<LINE>My dukedom to a beggarly denier,</LINE>
<LINE>I do mistake my person all this while:</LINE>
<LINE>Upon my life, she finds, although I cannot,</LINE>
<LINE>Myself to be a marvellous proper man.</LINE>
<LINE>I'll be at charges for a looking-glass,</LINE>
<LINE>And entertain some score or two of tailors,</LINE>
<LINE>To study fashions to adorn my body:</LINE>
<LINE>Since I am crept in favour with myself,</LINE>
<LINE>Will maintain it with some little cost.</LINE>
<LINE>But first I'll turn yon fellow in his grave;</LINE>
<LINE>And then return lamenting to my love.</LINE>
<LINE>Shine out, fair sun, till I have bought a glass,</LINE>
<LINE>That I may see my shadow as I pass.</LINE>
</SPEECH>


<STAGEDIR>Exit</STAGEDIR>
</SCENE>

<SCENE><TITLE>SCENE III.  The palace.</TITLE>
<STAGEDIR>Enter QUEEN ELIZABETH, RIVERS, and GREY</STAGEDIR>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>RIVERS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Have patience, madam: there's no doubt his majesty</LINE>
<LINE>Will soon recover his accustom'd health.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>GREY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>In that you brook it in, it makes him worse:</LINE>
<LINE>Therefore, for God's sake, entertain good comfort,</LINE>
<LINE>And cheer his grace with quick and merry words.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>QUEEN ELIZABETH</SPEAKER>
<LINE>If he were dead, what would betide of me?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>RIVERS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>No other harm but loss of such a lord.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>QUEEN ELIZABETH</SPEAKER>
<LINE>The loss of such a lord includes all harm.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>GREY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>The heavens have bless'd you with a goodly son,</LINE>
<LINE>To be your comforter when he is gone.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>QUEEN ELIZABETH</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Oh, he is young and his minority</LINE>
<LINE>Is put unto the trust of Richard Gloucester,</LINE>
<LINE>A man that loves not me, nor none of you.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>RIVERS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Is it concluded that he shall be protector?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>QUEEN ELIZABETH</SPEAKER>
<LINE>It is determined, not concluded yet:</LINE>
<LINE>But so it must be, if the king miscarry.</LINE>
</SPEECH>


<STAGEDIR>Enter BUCKINGHAM and DERBY</STAGEDIR>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>GREY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Here come the lords of Buckingham and Derby.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>BUCKINGHAM</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Good time of day unto your royal grace!</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>DERBY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>God make your majesty joyful as you have been!</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>QUEEN ELIZABETH</SPEAKER>
<LINE>The Countess Richmond, good my Lord of Derby.</LINE>
<LINE>To your good prayers will scarcely say amen.</LINE>
<LINE>Yet, Derby, notwithstanding she's your wife,</LINE>
<LINE>And loves not me, be you, good lord, assured</LINE>
<LINE>I hate not you for her proud arrogance.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>DERBY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I do beseech you, either not believe</LINE>
<LINE>The envious slanders of her false accusers;</LINE>
<LINE>Or, if she be accused in true report,</LINE>
<LINE>Bear with her weakness, which, I think proceeds</LINE>
<LINE>From wayward sickness, and no grounded malice.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>RIVERS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Saw you the king to-day, my Lord of Derby?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>DERBY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>But now the Duke of Buckingham and I</LINE>
<LINE>Are come from visiting his majesty.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>QUEEN ELIZABETH</SPEAKER>
<LINE>What likelihood of his amendment, lords?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>BUCKINGHAM</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Madam, good hope; his grace speaks cheerfully.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>QUEEN ELIZABETH</SPEAKER>
<LINE>God grant him health! Did you confer with him?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>BUCKINGHAM</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Madam, we did: he desires to make atonement</LINE>
<LINE>Betwixt the Duke of Gloucester and your brothers,</LINE>
<LINE>And betwixt them and my lord chamberlain;</LINE>
<LINE>And sent to warn them to his royal presence.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>QUEEN ELIZABETH</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Would all were well! but that will never be</LINE>
<LINE>I fear our happiness is at the highest.</LINE>
</SPEECH>


<STAGEDIR>Enter GLOUCESTER, HASTINGS, and DORSET</STAGEDIR>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>GLOUCESTER</SPEAKER>
<LINE>They do me wrong, and I will not endure it:</LINE>
<LINE>Who are they that complain unto the king,</LINE>
<LINE>That I, forsooth, am stern, and love them not?</LINE>
<LINE>By holy Paul, they love his grace but lightly</LINE>
<LINE>That fill his ears with such dissentious rumours.</LINE>
<LINE>Because I cannot flatter and speak fair,</LINE>
<LINE>Smile in men's faces, smooth, deceive and cog,</LINE>
<LINE>Duck with French nods and apish courtesy,</LINE>
<LINE>I must be held a rancorous enemy.</LINE>
<LINE>Cannot a plain man live and think no harm,</LINE>
<LINE>But thus his simple truth must be abused</LINE>
<LINE>By silken, sly, insinuating Jacks?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>RIVERS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>To whom in all this presence speaks your grace?</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>GLOUCESTER</SPEAKER>
<LINE>To thee, that hast nor honesty nor grace.</LINE>
<LINE>When have I injured thee? when done thee wrong?</LINE>
<LINE>Or thee? or thee? or any of your faction?</LINE>
<LINE>A plague upon you all! His royal person,--</LINE>
<LINE>Whom God preserve better than you would wish!--</LINE>
<LINE>Cannot be quiet scarce a breathing-while,</LINE>
<LINE>But you must trouble him with lewd complaints.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>QUEEN ELIZABETH</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Brother of Gloucester, you mistake the matter.</LINE>
<LINE>The king, of his own royal disposition,</LINE>
<LINE>And not provoked by any suitor else;</LINE>
<LINE>Aiming, belike, at your interior hatred,</LINE>
<LINE>Which in your outward actions shows itself</LINE>
<LINE>Against my kindred, brothers, and myself,</LINE>
<LINE>Makes him to send; that thereby he may gather</LINE>
<LINE>The ground of your ill-will, and so remove it.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
