Thou art not here: Murder is thy alm's-deed; K.Edw. Away, I say; I charge ye, bear her hence. Cla. To London, all in post; and, as I guess, K.Edw. He's sudden, if a thing comes in his head. SCENE VI. [Exeunt. London. A Room in the Tower. King HENRY is discovered sitting with a Book in his Hands, the Lieutenant attending. Enter GLOSTER. Glo. Good day, my lord! What, at your book so hard? K.Hen. Ay, my good lord: my lord, I should say rather; 'Tis sin to flatter, good was little better: Glo. Sirrah, leave us to ourselves: we must confer. Glo. Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind: K.Hen. The bird, that hath been limed in a bush, Have now the fatal object in my eye, Where my poor young was lini'd, was caught, and kill'd. Glo. Why, what a peevish fool was that of Crete, That taught his son the office of a fowl? And yet, for all his wings, the fool was drown'd. life! My breast can better brook thy dagger's point, Glo. Thy son I kill'd for his presumption. Thou hadst not liv'd to kill a son of mine. And chattering pyes in dismal discords sung. And yet brought forth less than a mother's hope; Not like the fruit of such a goodly tree. Teeth hadst thou in thy head, when thou wast born, And, if the rest be true which I have heard, Thou cam'st Glo. I'll hear no more ;-Die, prophet, in thy speech; [Stabs him. For this, amongst the rest, was I ordain'd. [Dies Glo. What, will the aspiring blood of Lancaster Sink in the ground? I thought it would have mounted, See, how my sword weeps for the poor king's death! O, may such purple tears be always shed From those that wish the downfal of our house!. If any spark of life be yet remaining, Down, down to hell; and say-I sent thee thither, [Stabs him again [91 Who suspect no part of what my fears presage. JOHNS. I, that have neither pity, love, nor fear.- I have no brother, I am like no brother: And this word-love, which greybeards call divine, And not in me; I am myself alone. Clarence, beware; thou keep'st me from the light; That Edward shall be fearful of his life; The same. SCENE VII. [Exit. A Room in the Palace. King EDWARD is discovered sitting on his Throne; Queen ELIZABETH with the infant Prince, CLARENCE, GLOSTER, HASTINGS, and Others, near him. K.Edw. Once more we sit in England's royal throne, Re-purchas'd with the blood of enemies. What valiant foe-men, like to autumn's corn, And two Northumberlands; two braver men Ne'er spurr'd their coursers at the trumpet's sound: With them, the two brave bears, Warwick and Montague, [1] But I will choose out an hour whose gloom shall be as fatal to, you To sort is to select. STEEV. 34 THIRD PART OF HENRY VI. That in their chains fetter'd the kingly lion, ACT V. Come hither, Bess, and let me kiss my boy :- Glo. I'll blast his harvest, if your head were laid; For yet I am not look'd on in the world. This shoulder was ordain'd so thick, to heave ; Cla. The duty that I owe unto your majesty, I seal upon the lips of this sweet babe, K.Edw. Thanks, noble Clarence; worthy brother, thanks. Glo. And, that I love the tree from whence thou sprang'st, } Asi. Witness the loving kiss I give the fruit :-- And hither have they sent it for her ransome. K.Edw. Away with her, and waft her hence to France. And now what rests, but that we spend the time With stately triumphs, mirthful comic shows, Such as befit the pleasures of the court ?— Sound, drums and trumpets !-farewel, sour annoy ! For here, I hope, begins our lasting joy. [Exeunt. [2] I believe we should read,-and this shall execute. Richard laying his hand on his forehead says: Work thou the way then bringing down his hand and beholding it: and this shall execute. Though that may stand, the arm being included in the shoulder, JOHNS. |
