- Act 4 Scene 6
-
- (Enter Richard Duke of Gloucester, Lord Hastings, and Sir William Stanley,
- with soldiers)
- l1l Richard Of Gloucester Now my lord Hastings and Sir William
- Stanley,
- l2l Leave off to wonder why I drew you hither
- l3l Into this chiefest thicket of the park.
- l4l Thus stands the case: you know our King, my brother,
- l5l Is prisoner to the Bishop here, at whose hands
- l6l He hath good usage and great liberty,
- l7l And, often but attended with weak guard,
- l8l Comes hunting this way to disport himself.
- l9l I have advertised him by secret means
- l10l That if about this hour he make this way
- l11l Under the colour of his usual game,
- l12l He shall here find his friends with horse and men
- l13l To set him free from his captivity.
- (Enter King Edward and a Huntsman with him)
- l14l Huntsman This way, my lordùfor this way lies the game.
- l15l King Edward Nay, this way, manùsee where the huntsmen stand.
- l16l Now, brother of Gloucester, Lord Hastings, and the rest,
- l17l Stand you thus close to steal the BishopÆs deer?
- l18l Richard Of Gloucester Brother, the time and case requireth haste.
- l19l Your horse stands ready at the park corner.
- l20l King Edward But whither shall we then?
- l21l Hastings To Lynn, my lord,
- l22l And shipped from thence to Flanders.
- Richard Of Gloucester (aside)
- l23l Well guessed, believe meùfor that was my meaning.
- l24l King Edward Stanley, I will requite thy forwardness.
- l25l Richard Of Gloucester But wherefore stay we? ÆTis no time to talk.
- l26l King Edward Huntsman, what sayst thou? Wilt thou go along?
- l27l Huntsman Better do so than tarry and be hanged.
- l28l Richard Of Gloucester Come then, awayùletÆs have no more ado.
- l29l King Edward Bishop, farewellùshield thee from WarwickÆs frown,
- l30l And pray that I may repossess the crown.
- (Exeunt)
