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?
