Act AP Scene I

	[[After 4.1.96]]
	[[In the Folio, the characters do not exit during the Duchess of York’s
	preceding speech.]]
l1l	Queen Elizabeth	 Stay: yet look back with me unto the Tower.—
l2l		Pity, you ancient stones, those tender babes,
l3l		Whom envy hath immured within your walls.
l4l		Rough cradle for such little pretty ones,
l5l		Rude ragged nurse, old sullen playfellow
l6l		For tender princes: use my babies well.
l7l		So foolish sorrow bids your stones farewell. 
		(Exeunt)
