_K. Edw._ Now here a period of tumultuous broils. [cee001] Away with Oxford to Hames Castle straight: [cee002] For Somerset, off with his guilty head. Go, bear them hence; I will not hear them speak. _Oxf._ For my part, I’ll not trouble thee with words. ·cee005· _Som._ Nor I, but stoop with patience to my fortune. [cee006] [_Exeunt Oxford and Somerset, guarded._ _Q. Mar._ So part we sadly in this troublous world, To meet with joy in sweet Jerusalem. _K. Edw._ Is proclamation made, that who finds Edward Shall have a high reward, and he his life? ·cee010· _Glo._ It is: and lo, where youthful Edward comes! [cee011] _Enter_ Soldiers, _with_ PRINCE EDWARD. _K. Edw._ Bring forth the gallant, let us hear him speak. [cee012] What! can so young a thorn begin to prick? Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make For bearing arms, for stirring up my subjects, ·cee015· And all the trouble thou hast turn’d me to? [cee016] _Prince._ Speak like a subject, proud ambitious York! [cee017] Suppose that I am now my father’s mouth; Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, Whilst I propose the selfsame words to thee, ·cee020· Which, traitor, thou wouldst have me answer to. _Q. Mar._ Ah, that thy father had been so resolved! _Glou._ That you might still have worn the petticoat, And ne’er have stol’n the breech from Lancaster. _Prince._ Let Æsop fable in a winter’s night; ·cee025· His currish riddles sort not with this place. [cee026] _Glou._ By heaven, brat, I’ll plague ye for that word. [cee027] _Q. Mar._ Ay, thou wast born to be a plague to men. _Glou._ For God’s sake, take away this captive scold. _Prince._ Nay, take away this scolding crook-back rather. ·cee030· _K. Edw._ Peace, wilful boy, or I will charm your tongue. _Clar._ Untutor’d lad, thou art too malapert. _Prince._ I know my duty; you are all undutiful: [cee033] Lascivious Edward, and thou perjured George, And thou mis-shapen Dick, I tell ye all ·cee035· I am your better, traitors as ye are: And thou usurp’st my father’s right and mine. _K. Edw._ Take that, thou likeness of this railer here. [cee038] [_Stabs him._ _Glou._ Sprawl’st thou? take that, to end thy agony. [cee039] [_Stabs him._ _Clar._ And there’s for twitting me with perjury. [cee040] [_Stabs him._ _Q. Mar._ O, kill me too! _Glou._ Marry, and shall. [_Offers to kill her._ _K. Edw._ Hold, Richard, hold; for we have done too much. _Glou._ Why should she live, to fill the world with words? [cee044] _K. Edw._ What, doth she swoon? use means for her recovery. [cee045] _Glou._ Clarence, excuse me to the king my brother; I’ll hence to London on a serious matter: Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. [cee048] _Clar._ What? what? _Glou._ The Tower, the Tower. [_Exit._ [cee050]
