GLOUCESTER: |
KING EDWARD IV: |
Now tell me, madam, do you love your children? |
LADY GREY: |
Ay, full as dearly as I love myself. |
KING EDWARD IV: |
And would you not do much to do them good? |
LADY GREY: |
To do them good, I would sustain some harm. |
KING EDWARD IV: |
Then get your husband's lands, to do them good. |
LADY GREY: |
Therefore I came unto your majesty. |
KING EDWARD IV: |
I'll tell you how these lands are to be got. |
LADY GREY: |
So shall you bind me to your highness' service. |
KING EDWARD IV: |
What service wilt thou do me, if I give them? |
LADY GREY: |
What you command, that rests in me to do. |
KING EDWARD IV: |
But you will take exceptions to my boon. |
LADY GREY: |
No, gracious lord, except I cannot do it. |
KING EDWARD IV: |
Ay, but thou canst do what I mean to ask. |
LADY GREY: |
Why, then I will do what your grace commands. |
GLOUCESTER: |
CLARENCE: |
LADY GREY: |
Why stops my lord, shall I not hear my task? |
KING EDWARD IV: |
An easy task; 'tis but to love a king. |
LADY GREY: |
That's soon perform'd, because I am a subject. |
KING EDWARD IV: |
Why, then, thy husband's lands I freely give thee. |
LADY GREY: |
I take my leave with many thousand thanks. |
GLOUCESTER: |
KING EDWARD IV: |
But stay thee, 'tis the fruits of love I mean. |
LADY GREY: |
The fruits of love I mean, my loving liege. |
KING EDWARD IV: |
Ay, but, I fear me, in another sense. |
What love, think'st thou, I sue so much to get? |
LADY GREY: |
My love till death, my humble thanks, my prayers; |
That love which virtue begs and virtue grants. |
KING EDWARD IV: |
No, by my troth, I did not mean such love. |
LADY GREY: |
Why, then you mean not as I thought you did. |
KING EDWARD IV: |
But now you partly may perceive my mind. |
LADY GREY: |
My mind will never grant what I perceive |
Your highness aims at, if I aim aright. |
KING EDWARD IV: |
To tell thee plain, I aim to lie with thee. |
LADY GREY: |
To tell you plain, I had rather lie in prison. |
KING EDWARD IV: |
Why, then thou shalt not have thy husband's lands. |
