Have pa|tience madam,| there's no | doubt his
| majesty*
, , , , ,
Will soon | recov|er his | accust|omed health.
GRAY
,

,
In that | you brook | it ill,| it makes | him
worse,
,
, , 2 ,
,
Therefore | for God's | sake enter|tain good* |
comfort,
, ,
, , ,
And cheer | his grace | with quick | and mer|ry eyes.
QUEEN ELIZABETH
, , ,
, ,
If he | were dead,| what would | betide | on me?
GRAY
, , ,
, ,
No^oth|er harm,| but loss | of such | a lord.
QUEEN ELIZABETH
, ,
, . T T T
The loss | of such | a lord,| includes all
harms.
GRAY
x , , ,
,
The heavens | have blessed | you with | a good|ly
son,
,
, , ,
,
To be | your com|forter,| when he | is gone.
QUEEN ELIZABETH
,
, , ,
,
Ah! He | is young;| and his | minor|ity
, , 2
, ,
,
Is put | unto the | trust of | Richard |
Gloucester,
, ,
, ,
,
A man | that loves | not me,| nor none | of you.
RIVERS
, 2 ,
, ,
,
Is it con|cluded | he shall | be pro|tector?
QUEEN ELIZABETH
, ,
, ,
,
It is | deter|mined, not | conclud|ed yet:
, , ,
2 , ,
But so | it must | be, if the | king mis|carry.
[Enter BUCKINGHAM and DERBY]
GRAY

Good time | of day | unto | your roy|al grace.
DERBY

been.
QUEEN ELIZABETH

The count|ess Rich|mond, good | my Lord | of Der||by.
2 , ,

To your / good prayers | will scarce|ly say |
amen.

, ,
Yet Der|by, not|withstand|ing she's | your wife,
, , ,
, ,
And loves | not me,| be you | good* lord |
assured,
, ,
, , ,
I hate | not you | for her | proud ar/rogance.
DERBY
,
, , ,
,
I do | beseech | you, eith|er not | believe
, 2
, , ,
, ->
The env|ious sland|ers of | her false |
accu||sers:
, 2 ,
, , ,
Or | if she be | accused | in true | report,
,
, , ,
,
Bear with | her weak|ness, which | I think |
proceeds
,
, , ,
x
From way|ward sick|ness, and / no groun|ded
malice.
RIVERS

, ,
, ,
Saw you the | king to|day my | Lord of | Derby.
DERBY

, ,
,
But now | the Duke | of Buck|ingham | and I,
, ,
, , ,
Are come | from vis|iting | his maj|esty.
QUEEN ELIZABETH

What like|lihood | of his | amend|ment lords.
BUCKINGHAM
, ,
, , ,
Madam | good hope,| his grace | speaks
cheer/fully.
QUEEN ELIZABETH
T T . T
, ,
,
God grant him health,| did you | confer | with him?
BUCKINGHAM

2 , ,

Aye mad/am, he de|sires to | make a|tonement
, ,

Between | the Duke | of Glouce|ster, and | your
broth||ers,
,
, , 2
, ,
And | between | them, and my | lord cham/berlain,
,

And sent | to warn | them to his | royal |
presence.
QUEEN ELIZABETH

, , ,
Would^all | were well,| but that | will nev|er be,
,
, ,
, ,
I fear | our hap|piness | is at | the height.
[Enter GLOUCESTER, HASTINGS, and DORSET]
RICHARD

x
They do | me wrong,| and I | will not | endure
it,
,
, ,
, ,
Who are | they that | complain | unto | the king,
,
, , ,
,
That I |(forsooth)| am stern,| and love | them
not?
, ,
, , ,
o
By ho|ly Paul,| they love | his grace | but light|ly,
, ,

o
That fill | his ears | with such | dissen|tious
rum|ors. (hex with prev)

Because | I can|not flat|ter, and / look fair,

Smile in men's fac|es, smooth,| deceive,| and
cog,

T T T ,
, 2
Duck with | French nods, and | apish | courtesy,

I must | be held | a ranc|orous en|emy.

T T , ,
Cannot a | plain man live,| and think | no* harm,
,

But thus | his simp|le truth | must be | abused,

By silk|en, sly,| insin|ua|ting Jacks?
RIVERS

To who | in all | this pres|ence speaks | your
grace?
RICHARD

, ,
,
To thee,| that hast | nor hon|esty,| nor grace:
,

When have | I in|jured thee?| When done | thee
wrong?
,
, , 2
, ,
Or thee?| Or thee?| Or an|y of your | faction?

,
A plague | upon | you all.| His roy|al grace

(Whom God | preserve | better | than you | would
wish)
, ,
, ,
,
Cannot | be qui|et scarce | a breath|ing-while,

But you | must troub|le him | with lewd |
complaints.
QUEEN ELIZABETH

,
Brother of | Gloucester,| you mis|take the |
matter:

, , ,
The king | on his own | royal | dispo|sition,
,
, , ,
,
(And not | provoked | by an|y suit|or else)

, 2 , 2 ,
Aiming |(belike)| at your in|terior | hatred,

Against | my child|ren, broth|ers, and | myself,

Makes him to | send, that | thereby | he may
| gather

The ground | of your / ill-will,| and so | remove
it.
RICHARD

I can|not tell,| the world | is grown | so bad,

That wrens make prey,| where^eag|les dare | not
perch.

God^grant | we nev|er may | have need | of you.
RICHARD

Meantime,| God* grants | that I | have need | of
you.
, ,

Your broth|er is | impris|oned by | your means,

Myself | disgraced,| and the | nobil|ity

Held in | contempt,| while great | promo|tions

That scarce | some two | days^since | were
worth | a noble.
QUEEN ELIZABETH

By Him | that raised | me to | this care|ful
height,
, ,
, , ,
From that | content|ed hap | which I | enjoyed,
, ,
, , ,
I nev|er did | incense | his maj|esty

Against | the Duke | of Clar|ence, but | have
been

An earn|est ad|vocate | to plead | for him.

My lord | you do | me shame|ful in|jury,

Falsely | to draw | me in these | vile suspects.
RICHARD

And then | deny | her aid|ing hand | therein,

QUEEN ELIZABETH

My Lord | of Glouce|ster, I have // too long
borne

Your blunt | upbraid|ings, and | your bit|ter
scoffs:

By heaven,| I will | acquaint | his maj|esty

RICHARD

Ere you | were queen,

Aye, or | your hus|band
king:

I was | a pack-|horse in | his great | affairs:

A weed|er-out | of his proud | adver|saries,

A lib|eral | reward|er of | his friends:

To roy|alize | his blood,| I spent | mine own.
QUEEN MARGARET

thine.
RICHARD

QUEEN MARGARET

And then | to dry | them, gavst | the duke | a

Witness | my son,| now in | the shade | of death,

Whose^bright | out-shin|ing beams,| thy clou|dy
wrath

Hath in | etern|al dark|ness fold|ed up.

Your aer|ie build|eth in / our aer|ie's nest:

As it | was won | with blood,| lost be | it so.

Peace, peace for shame:| if not,| for char|ity.
QUEEN MARGARET

Urge^neith|er char|ity,| nor shame | to me:

Unchar/ita|bly with | me have | you dealt,

,
And shame|fully (by | you) my | hopes are
| butchered.

My char|ity is // outrage, life | my shame,

And in | that shame,| still^live | my sor|row's

QUEEN MARGARET

O prince|ly Buck|ingham,| I'll kiss | thy hand,

In sign | of league | and am|ity | with thee:
, ,

Now fair | befall | thee, and | thy nob|le house:

Thy gar|ments are / not spot|ted with | our
blood:

Nor thou | within | the comp|ass of | my curse.
BUCKINGHAM

Nor no | one here:| for curs|es nev|er pass
,

The lips | of those | that breathe | them in |
the air.
QUEEN MARGARET

I'll not | believe | but they | ascend | the sky,
,
, ,

And there | awake | God's^gent|le-sleep|ing
peace.
, , ,

O Buck|ingham,| take^heed | of yond|er dog:
,
, , ,
,
Look when | he fawns,| he bites;| and when | he
bites,
,
, , ,
,
His ven|om tooth | will rank|le to | the death.
,
, ,

Have not | to do | with him,| beware | of him;
T T

Sin, death, and hell | have set | their marks |
on^him,

And all | their min|isters | attend | on him.
RICHARD

What doth | she say,| my Lord | of Buck|ingham?
BUCKINGHAM

Nothing | that I | respect,| my gra|cious lord.
QUEEN MARGARET

What dost | thou scorn | me
2 , ,
For my | gentle |
counsel?
, ,

And soothe | the dev|il that | I warn | thee
from.

O but | remem|ber this | anoth|er day:

When he | shall split | thy ve|ry heart | with

And say |(poor* Marg|aret) was | a proph|etess:

Live^each | of you | the sub|jects to | his hate,

And he | to yours,| and all | of you | to God's.

RICHARD

I can|not blame | her, by / God's ho|ly moth||er,

She | hath had too | much^wrong,| and I | repent

My part | thereof | that I | have done | to her.
QUEEN ELIZABETH

I nev|er did | her an|y to | my know||ledge.
RICHARD

But you | have all | the vant|age of | her wrong:

I was | too hot,| to do | somebo|dy good,
,
, ,

That is | too cold | in think|ing of | it now:
, ,

Marry | as for | Clarence,| he is well | repaid:

He is / franked up | to fat|ting for | his pains,

God^pard|on them,| that are | the cause |
thereof.

RICHARD

So do | I ev|er, be|ing well-|advised.

Clarence,| whom I in|deed have | cast in |

I do | beweep | to ma|ny simp|le gulls,

That stir | the king | against | the duke | my

Now | they believe | it, and | withal | whet me

To be | revenged | on Riv|ers, Dor|set, Gray.

But then | I sigh,| and with a | piece of | scripture,

Tell them that | God bids / us do | good for |

And thus | I clothe | my nak|ed vil|lany
