I say, without characters, fame lives long. |
Thus, like the formal vice, Iniquity, |
I moralize two meanings in one word. |
PRINCE EDWARD: |
That Julius Caesar was a famous man; |
With what his valour did enrich his wit, |
His wit set down to make his valour live |
Death makes no conquest of this conqueror; |
For now he lives in fame, though not in life. |
I'll tell you what, my cousin Buckingham,-- |
BUCKINGHAM: |
What, my gracious lord? |
PRINCE EDWARD: |
An if I live until I be a man, |
I'll win our ancient right in France again, |
Or die a soldier, as I lived a king. |
GLOUCESTER: |
BUCKINGHAM: |
Now, in good time, here comes the Duke of York. |
PRINCE EDWARD: |
Richard of York! how fares our loving brother? |
YORK: |
Well, my dread lord; so must I call you now. |
PRINCE EDWARD: |
Ay, brother, to our grief, as it is yours: |
Too late he died that might have kept that title, |
Which by his death hath lost much majesty. |
GLOUCESTER: |
How fares our cousin, noble Lord of York? |
YORK: |
I thank you, gentle uncle. O, my lord, |
You said that idle weeds are fast in growth |
The prince my brother hath outgrown me far. |
GLOUCESTER: |
He hath, my lord. |
YORK: |
And therefore is he idle? |
GLOUCESTER: |
O, my fair cousin, I must not say so. |
YORK: |
Then is he more beholding to you than I. |
GLOUCESTER: |
He may command me as my sovereign; |
But you have power in me as in a kinsman. |
YORK: |
I pray you, uncle, give me this dagger. |
GLOUCESTER: |
My dagger, little cousin? with all my heart. |
PRINCE EDWARD: |
A beggar, brother? |
YORK: |
Of my kind uncle, that I know will give; |
And being but a toy, which is no grief to give. |
GLOUCESTER: |
A greater gift than that I'll give my cousin. |
YORK: |
A greater gift! O, that's the sword to it. |
GLOUCESTER: |
A gentle cousin, were it light enough. |
YORK: |
O, then, I see, you will part but with light gifts; |
In weightier things you'll say a beggar nay. |
GLOUCESTER: |
It is too heavy for your grace to wear. |
YORK: |
I weigh it lightly, were it heavier. |
GLOUCESTER: |
What, would you have my weapon, little lord? |
YORK: |
I would, that I might thank you as you call me. |
GLOUCESTER: |
How? |
