_Suffolke._ So now show your petitions to Duke _Humphrey_. [dac041] Villaines get you gone and come not neare the Court, [dac042] Dare these pesants write against me thus. [dac043] _Exet_ Petitioners. _Queene._ My Lord of _Suffolke_, you may see by this, The Commons loues vnto that haughtie Duke, ·dac045· That seekes to him more then to King _Henry_: Whose eyes are alwaies poring on his booke, And nere regards the honour of his name, [dac048] But still must be protected like a childe, And gouerned by that ambitious Duke, ·dac050· That scarse will moue his cap nor speake to vs, [dac051] And his proud wife, high minded _Elanor_, That ruffles it with such a troupe of Ladies, As strangers in the Court takes her for the Queene. [dac054] The other day she vanted to her maides, ·dac055· That the very traine of her worst gowne, Was worth more wealth then all my fathers lands, Can any griefe of minde be like to this. [dac058] I tell thee _Poull_, when thou didst runne at Tilt, [dac059] And stolst away our Ladaies hearts in _France_, [dac060] I thought King _Henry_ had bene like to thee, Or else thou hadst not brought me out of _France_. _Suffolke._ Madame content your selfe a litle while, As I was cause of your comming to England, [dac064] So will I in England worke your full content: ·dac065· And as for proud Duke _Humphrey_ and his wife, I haue set lime-twigs that will intangle them, As that your grace ere long shall vnderstand. But staie Madame, here comes the King. [dac069] Enter King _Henry_, and the Duke of _Yorke_ and the Duke of _Somerset_ on both sides of the King, whispering with him, and enter Duke _Humphrey_, Dame _Elnor_, the Duke of _Buckingham_, the Earle of _Salsbury_, the Earle of _Warwicke_, and the Cardinall of _Winchester_. _King._ My Lords I care not who be Regent in _France_, or _York_, ·dac070· or Somerset, alls wonne to me. [dac071] _Yorke_ My Lord, if _Yorke_ haue ill demeande himselfe, Let _Somerset_ enioy his place and go to _France_. _Somerset._ Then whom your grace thinke worthie, let him go, [dac074] And there be made the Regent ouer the French. ·dac075· _Warwicke._ Whom soeuer you account worthie, _Yorke_ is the worthiest. _Cardinall._ Pease _Warwicke_. Giue thy betters leaue to speake. [dac078] _War._ The Cardinals not my better in the field. [dac079] _Buc._ All in this place are thy betters farre. ·dac080· _War._ And _Warwicke_ may liue to be the best of all. [dac081] _Queene._ My Lord in mine opinion, it were best that _Somerset_ were Regent ouer _France_. _Humphrey._ Madame onr King is old inough himselfe, [dac084] To giue his answere without your consent. ·dac085· _Queene._ If he be old inough, what needs your grace [dac086] To be Protector ouer him so long.
