YORK: |
Little. |
PRINCE EDWARD: |
My Lord of York will still be cross in talk: |
Uncle, your grace knows how to bear with him. |
YORK: |
You mean, to bear me, not to bear with me: |
Uncle, my brother mocks both you and me; |
Because that I am little, like an ape, |
He thinks that you should bear me on your shoulders. |
BUCKINGHAM: |
With what a sharp-provided wit he reasons! |
To mitigate the scorn he gives his uncle, |
He prettily and aptly taunts himself: |
So cunning and so young is wonderful. |
GLOUCESTER: |
My lord, will't please you pass along? |
Myself and my good cousin Buckingham |
Will to your mother, to entreat of her |
To meet you at the Tower and welcome you. |
YORK: |
What, will you go unto the Tower, my lord? |
PRINCE EDWARD: |
My lord protector needs will have it so. |
YORK: |
I shall not sleep in quiet at the Tower. |
GLOUCESTER: |
Why, what should you fear? |
YORK: |
Marry, my uncle Clarence' angry ghost: |
My grandam told me he was murdered there. |
PRINCE EDWARD: |
I fear no uncles dead. |
GLOUCESTER: |
Nor none that live, I hope. |
PRINCE EDWARD: |
An if they live, I hope I need not fear. |
But come, my lord; and with a heavy heart, |
Thinking on them, go I unto the Tower. |
BUCKINGHAM: |
Think you, my lord, this little prating York |
Was not incensed by his subtle mother |
To taunt and scorn you thus opprobriously? |
GLOUCESTER: |
No doubt, no doubt; O, 'tis a parlous boy; |
Bold, quick, ingenious, forward, capable |
He is all the mother's, from the top to toe. |
BUCKINGHAM: |
Well, let them rest. Come hither, Catesby. |
Thou art sworn as deeply to effect what we intend |
As closely to conceal what we impart: |
Thou know'st our reasons urged upon the way; |
What think'st thou? is it not an easy matter |
To make William Lord Hastings of our mind, |
For the instalment of this noble duke |
In the seat royal of this famous isle? |
CATESBY: |
He for his father's sake so loves the prince, |
That he will not be won to aught against him. |
BUCKINGHAM: |
What think'st thou, then, of Stanley? what will he? |
CATESBY: |
He will do all in all as Hastings doth. |
BUCKINGHAM: |
Well, then, no more but this: go, gentle Catesby, |
And, as it were far off sound thou Lord Hastings, |
How doth he stand affected to our purpose; |
And summon him to-morrow to the Tower, |
To sit about the coronation. |
If thou dost find him tractable to us, |
Encourage him, and show him all our reasons: |
If he be leaden, icy-cold, unwilling, |
Be thou so too; and so break off your talk, |
And give us notice of his inclination: |
For we to-morrow hold divided councils, |
Wherein thyself shalt highly be employ'd. |
GLOUCESTER: |
Commend me to Lord William: tell him, Catesby, |
His ancient knot of dangerous adversaries |
