Therefore I say with noble Buckingham, |
That it is meet so few should fetch the prince. |
HASTINGS: |
And so say I. |
GLOUCESTER: |
Then be it so; and go we to determine |
Who they shall be that straight shall post to Ludlow. |
Madam, and you, my mother, will you go |
To give your censures in this weighty business? |
QUEEN ELIZABETH: |
With all our harts. |
BUCKINGHAM: |
My lord, whoever journeys to the Prince, |
For God's sake, let not us two be behind; |
For, by the way, I'll sort occasion, |
As index to the story we late talk'd of, |
To part the queen's proud kindred from the king. |
GLOUCESTER: |
My other self, my counsel's consistory, |
My oracle, my prophet! My dear cousin, |
I, like a child, will go by thy direction. |
Towards Ludlow then, for we'll not stay behind. |
First Citizen: |
Neighbour, well met: whither away so fast? |
Second Citizen: |
I promise you, I scarcely know myself: |
Hear you the news abroad? |
First Citizen: |
Ay, that the king is dead. |
Second Citizen: |
Bad news, by'r lady; seldom comes the better: |
I fear, I fear 'twill prove a troublous world. |
Third Citizen: |
Neighbours, God speed! |
First Citizen: |
Give you good morrow, sir. |
Third Citizen: |
Doth this news hold of good King Edward's death? |
Second Citizen: |
Ay, sir, it is too true; God help the while! |
Third Citizen: |
Then, masters, look to see a troublous world. |
First Citizen: |
No, no; by God's good grace his son shall reign. |
Third Citizen: |
Woe to the land that's govern'd by a child! |
Second Citizen: |
In him there is a hope of government, |
That in his nonage council under him, |
And in his full and ripen'd years himself, |
No doubt, shall then and till then govern well. |
First Citizen: |
So stood the state when Henry the Sixth |
Was crown'd in Paris but at nine months old. |
Third Citizen: |
Stood the state so? No, no, good friends, God wot; |
For then this land was famously enrich'd |
With politic grave counsel; then the king |
Had virtuous uncles to protect his grace. |
First Citizen: |
Why, so hath this, both by the father and mother. |
Third Citizen: |
Better it were they all came by the father, |
Or by the father there were none at all; |
For emulation now, who shall be nearest, |
Will touch us all too near, if God prevent not. |
O, full of danger is the Duke of Gloucester! |
And the queen's sons and brothers haught and proud: |
And were they to be ruled, and not to rule, |
This sickly land might solace as before. |
First Citizen: |
Come, come, we fear the worst; all shall be well. |
Third Citizen: |
When clouds appear, wise men put on their cloaks; |
When great leaves fall, the winter is at hand; |
When the sun sets, who doth not look for night? |
Untimely storms make men expect a dearth. |
