BUCKINGHAM: |
Are all things fitting for that royal time? |
DERBY: |
It is, and wants but nomination. |
BISHOP OF ELY: |
To-morrow, then, I judge a happy day. |
BUCKINGHAM: |
Who knows the lord protector's mind herein? |
Who is most inward with the royal duke? |
BISHOP OF ELY: |
Your grace, we think, should soonest know his mind. |
BUCKINGHAM: |
Who, I, my lord I we know each other's faces, |
But for our hearts, he knows no more of mine, |
Than I of yours; |
Nor I no more of his, than you of mine. |
Lord Hastings, you and he are near in love. |
HASTINGS: |
I thank his grace, I know he loves me well; |
But, for his purpose in the coronation. |
I have not sounded him, nor he deliver'd |
His gracious pleasure any way therein: |
But you, my noble lords, may name the time; |
And in the duke's behalf I'll give my voice, |
Which, I presume, he'll take in gentle part. |
BISHOP OF ELY: |
Now in good time, here comes the duke himself. |
GLOUCESTER: |
My noble lords and cousins all, good morrow. |
I have been long a sleeper; but, I hope, |
My absence doth neglect no great designs, |
Which by my presence might have been concluded. |
BUCKINGHAM: |
Had not you come upon your cue, my lord |
William Lord Hastings had pronounced your part,-- |
I mean, your voice,--for crowning of the king. |
GLOUCESTER: |
Than my Lord Hastings no man might be bolder; |
His lordship knows me well, and loves me well. |
HASTINGS: |
I thank your grace. |
GLOUCESTER: |
My lord of Ely! |
BISHOP OF ELY: |
My lord? |
GLOUCESTER: |
When I was last in Holborn, |
I saw good strawberries in your garden there |
I do beseech you send for some of them. |
BISHOP OF ELY: |
Marry, and will, my lord, with all my heart. |
GLOUCESTER: |
Cousin of Buckingham, a word with you. |
Catesby hath sounded Hastings in our business, |
And finds the testy gentleman so hot, |
As he will lose his head ere give consent |
His master's son, as worshipful as he terms it, |
Shall lose the royalty of England's throne. |
BUCKINGHAM: |
Withdraw you hence, my lord, I'll follow you. |
DERBY: |
We have not yet set down this day of triumph. |
To-morrow, in mine opinion, is too sudden; |
For I myself am not so well provided |
As else I would be, were the day prolong'd. |
BISHOP OF ELY: |
Where is my lord protector? I have sent for these |
strawberries. |
HASTINGS: |
His grace looks cheerfully and smooth to-day; |
There's some conceit or other likes him well, |
When he doth bid good morrow with such a spirit. |
I think there's never a man in Christendom |
That can less hide his love or hate than he; |
For by his face straight shall you know his heart. |
DERBY: |
What of his heart perceive you in his face |
By any likelihood he show'd to-day? |
