KING RICHARD III
[O bitter consequence,Page 100 - after line 40.
That Edward still should live! 'True, noble prince!']
Cousin, thou wert not wont to be so dull:
Shall I be plain? I wish the bastards dead;
And I would have it suddenly perform'd.
What sayest thou? speak suddenly; be brief.
KING RICHARD III
[I partly know the man:]
Go, call him hither.
Exit Page
The deep-revolving witty Buckingham
No more shall be the neighbour to my counsel:
Hath he so long held out with me untired,
And stops he now for breath?
Enter STANLEY
How now, Lord Stanley! What's the news?STANLEY
Know my loving Lord,
The Marquess Dorset, as I hear, is fled
To Richmond, in those parts where he abides.
Stands apartKING RICHARD III
Come hither, Catesby. Rumour it abroad
That Anne, my wife, is very grievous sick;
I will take order for her keeping close.
[Inquire me out some mean-born gentleman,
Whom I will marry straight to Clarence' daughter:
The boy is foolish, and I fear not him.]
Look, how thou dream'st! I say again, give out
That Anne my queen is sick and like to die:
About it.
[for it stands me much upon,
To stop all hopes whose growth may damage me.]
Exit CATESBY
I must be married to my brother's daughter,
Or else my kingdom stands on brittle glass.
Murder her brothers, and then marry her!
Uncertain way of gain! But I am in
So far in blood that sin will pluck on sin:
Tear-falling pity dwells not in this eye.
Re-enter Page, with TYRREL
Is thy name Tyrrel?
Page 102 - after line 77
KING RICHARD III
Thou sing'st sweet music. Hark, come hither, Tyrrel
Go, by this token:
[rise, and lend thine ear:
Whispers
There is no more but so:]Page 103 - after line 102
Say it is done,
And I will love thee and prefer thee for it.
KING RICHARD III
[Richmond! When last I was at Exeter,BUCKINGHAM
The mayor in courtesy show'd me the castle,
And call'd it Rougemont: at which name I started,
Because a bard of Ireland told me once
I should not live long after I saw Richmond.]
My Lord!
