The Tower, the Tower. |
QUEEN MARGARET: |
O Ned, sweet Ned! speak to thy mother, boy! |
Canst thou not speak? O traitors! murderers! |
They that stabb'd Caesar shed no blood at all, |
Did not offend, nor were not worthy blame, |
If this foul deed were by to equal it: |
He was a man; this, in respect, a child: |
And men ne'er spend their fury on a child. |
What's worse than murderer, that I may name it? |
No, no, my heart will burst, and if I speak: |
And I will speak, that so my heart may burst. |
Butchers and villains! bloody cannibals! |
How sweet a plant have you untimely cropp'd! |
You have no children, butchers! if you had, |
The thought of them would have stirr'd up remorse: |
But if you ever chance to have a child, |
Look in his youth to have him so cut off |
As, deathmen, you have rid this sweet young prince! |
KING EDWARD IV: |
Away with her; go, bear her hence perforce. |
QUEEN MARGARET: |
Nay, never bear me hence, dispatch me here, |
Here sheathe thy sword, I'll pardon thee my death: |
What, wilt thou not? then, Clarence, do it thou. |
CLARENCE: |
By heaven, I will not do thee so much ease. |
QUEEN MARGARET: |
Good Clarence, do; sweet Clarence, do thou do it. |
CLARENCE: |
Didst thou not hear me swear I would not do it? |
QUEEN MARGARET: |
Ay, but thou usest to forswear thyself: |
'Twas sin before, but now 'tis charity. |
What, wilt thou not? Where is that devil's butcher, |
Hard-favour'd Richard? Richard, where art thou? |
Thou art not here: murder is thy alms-deed; |
Petitioners for blood thou ne'er put'st back. |
KING EDWARD IV: |
Away, I say; I charge ye, bear her hence. |
QUEEN MARGARET: |
So come to you and yours, as to this Prince! |
KING EDWARD IV: |
Where's Richard gone? |
CLARENCE: |
To London, all in post; and, as I guess, |
To make a bloody supper in the Tower. |
KING EDWARD IV: |
He's sudden, if a thing comes in his head. |
Now march we hence: discharge the common sort |
With pay and thanks, and let's away to London |
And see our gentle queen how well she fares: |
By this, I hope, she hath a son for me. |
3 KING HENRY VI |
GLOUCESTER: |
Good day, my lord. What, at your book so hard? |
KING HENRY VI: |
Ay, my good lord:--my lord, I should say rather; |
'Tis sin to flatter; 'good' was little better: |
'Good Gloucester' and 'good devil' were alike, |
And both preposterous; therefore, not 'good lord.' |
GLOUCESTER: |
Sirrah, leave us to ourselves: we must confer. |
KING HENRY VI: |
So flies the reckless shepherd from the wolf; |
So first the harmless sheep doth yield his fleece |
And next his throat unto the butcher's knife. |
What scene of death hath Roscius now to act? |
GLOUCESTER: |
Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind; |
The thief doth fear each bush an officer. |
KING HENRY VI: |
The bird that hath been limed in a bush, |
With trembling wings misdoubteth every bush; |
And I, the hapless male to one sweet bird, |
Have now the fatal object in my eye |
Where my poor young was limed, was caught and kill'd. |
GLOUCESTER: |
Why, what a peevish fool was that of Crete, |
That taught his son the office of a fowl! |
An yet, for all his wings, the fool was drown'd. |
