All may be well; but, if God sort it so, |
'Tis more than we deserve, or I expect. |
Second Citizen: |
Truly, the souls of men are full of dread: |
Ye cannot reason almost with a man |
That looks not heavily and full of fear. |
Third Citizen: |
Before the times of change, still is it so: |
By a divine instinct men's minds mistrust |
Ensuing dangers; as by proof, we see |
The waters swell before a boisterous storm. |
But leave it all to God. whither away? |
Second Citizen: |
Marry, we were sent for to the justices. |
Third Citizen: |
And so was I: I'll bear you company. |
ARCHBISHOP OF YORK: |
Last night, I hear, they lay at Northampton; |
At Stony-Stratford will they be to-night: |
To-morrow, or next day, they will be here. |
DUCHESS OF YORK: |
I long with all my heart to see the prince: |
I hope he is much grown since last I saw him. |
QUEEN ELIZABETH: |
But I hear, no; they say my son of York |
Hath almost overta'en him in his growth. |
YORK: |
Ay, mother; but I would not have it so. |
DUCHESS OF YORK: |
Why, my young cousin, it is good to grow. |
YORK: |
Grandam, one night, as we did sit at supper, |
My uncle Rivers talk'd how I did grow |
More than my brother: 'Ay,' quoth my uncle |
Gloucester, |
'Small herbs have grace, great weeds do grow apace:' |
And since, methinks, I would not grow so fast, |
Because sweet flowers are slow and weeds make haste. |
DUCHESS OF YORK: |
Good faith, good faith, the saying did not hold |
In him that did object the same to thee; |
He was the wretched'st thing when he was young, |
So long a-growing and so leisurely, |
That, if this rule were true, he should be gracious. |
ARCHBISHOP OF YORK: |
Why, madam, so, no doubt, he is. |
DUCHESS OF YORK: |
I hope he is; but yet let mothers doubt. |
YORK: |
Now, by my troth, if I had been remember'd, |
I could have given my uncle's grace a flout, |
To touch his growth nearer than he touch'd mine. |
DUCHESS OF YORK: |
How, my pretty York? I pray thee, let me hear it. |
YORK: |
Marry, they say my uncle grew so fast |
That he could gnaw a crust at two hours old |
'Twas full two years ere I could get a tooth. |
Grandam, this would have been a biting jest. |
DUCHESS OF YORK: |
I pray thee, pretty York, who told thee this? |
YORK: |
Grandam, his nurse. |
DUCHESS OF YORK: |
His nurse! why, she was dead ere thou wert born. |
YORK: |
If 'twere not she, I cannot tell who told me. |
QUEEN ELIZABETH: |
A parlous boy: go to, you are too shrewd. |
ARCHBISHOP OF YORK: |
Good madam, be not angry with the child. |
QUEEN ELIZABETH: |
Pitchers have ears. |
ARCHBISHOP OF YORK: |
Here comes a messenger. What news? |
