Messenger: |
Such news, my lord, as grieves me to unfold. |
QUEEN ELIZABETH: |
How fares the prince? |
Messenger: |
Well, madam, and in health. |
DUCHESS OF YORK: |
What is thy news then? |
Messenger: |
Lord Rivers and Lord Grey are sent to Pomfret, |
With them Sir Thomas Vaughan, prisoners. |
DUCHESS OF YORK: |
Who hath committed them? |
Messenger: |
The mighty dukes |
Gloucester and Buckingham. |
QUEEN ELIZABETH: |
For what offence? |
Messenger: |
The sum of all I can, I have disclosed; |
Why or for what these nobles were committed |
Is all unknown to me, my gracious lady. |
QUEEN ELIZABETH: |
Ay me, I see the downfall of our house! |
The tiger now hath seized the gentle hind; |
Insulting tyranny begins to jet |
Upon the innocent and aweless throne: |
Welcome, destruction, death, and massacre! |
I see, as in a map, the end of all. |
DUCHESS OF YORK: |
Accursed and unquiet wrangling days, |
How many of you have mine eyes beheld! |
My husband lost his life to get the crown; |
And often up and down my sons were toss'd, |
For me to joy and weep their gain and loss: |
And being seated, and domestic broils |
Clean over-blown, themselves, the conquerors. |
Make war upon themselves; blood against blood, |
Self against self: O, preposterous |
And frantic outrage, end thy damned spleen; |
Or let me die, to look on death no more! |
QUEEN ELIZABETH: |
Come, come, my boy; we will to sanctuary. |
Madam, farewell. |
DUCHESS OF YORK: |
I'll go along with you. |
QUEEN ELIZABETH: |
You have no cause. |
ARCHBISHOP OF YORK: |
My gracious lady, go; |
And thither bear your treasure and your goods. |
For my part, I'll resign unto your grace |
The seal I keep: and so betide to me |
As well I tender you and all of yours! |
Come, I'll conduct you to the sanctuary. |
BUCKINGHAM: |
Welcome, sweet prince, to London, to your chamber. |
GLOUCESTER: |
Welcome, dear cousin, my thoughts' sovereign |
The weary way hath made you melancholy. |
PRINCE EDWARD: |
No, uncle; but our crosses on the way |
Have made it tedious, wearisome, and heavy |
I want more uncles here to welcome me. |
GLOUCESTER: |
Sweet prince, the untainted virtue of your years |
Hath not yet dived into the world's deceit |
Nor more can you distinguish of a man |
Than of his outward show; which, God he knows, |
Seldom or never jumpeth with the heart. |
Those uncles which you want were dangerous; |
Your grace attended to their sugar'd words, |
But look'd not on the poison of their hearts : |
God keep you from them, and from such false friends! |
PRINCE EDWARD: |
God keep me from false friends! but they were none. |
GLOUCESTER: |
My lord, the mayor of London comes to greet you. |
Lord Mayor: |
Subsets and Splits
