Shakespeare, William
English drama
_King._ Whether it be through force of your report,
My noble Lord of Suffolk, or for that ·aee080·
My tender youth was never yet attaint
With any passion of inflaming love,
I cannot tell; but this I am assured,
I feel such sharp dissension in my breast,
Such fierce alarums both of hope and fear, ·aee085·
As I am sick with working of my thoughts.
Take, therefore, shipping; post, my lord, to France;
Agree to any covenants, and procure
That Lady Margaret do vouchsafe to come
To cross the seas to England and be crown’d [aee090]
King Henry’s faithful and anointed queen:
For your expenses and sufficient charge,
Among the people gather up a tenth.
Be gone, I say; for, till you do return,
I rest perplexed with a thousand cares. ·aee095·
And you, good uncle, banish all offence:
If you do censure me by what you were,
Not what you are, I know it will excuse
This sudden execution of my will.
And so, conduct me where, from company, ·aee100·
I may revolve and ruminate my grief. [_Exit._
_Glou._ Ay, grief, I fear me, both at first and last. [aee102]
[_Exeunt Gloucester and Exeter._
_Suf._ Thus Suffolk hath prevail’d; and thus he goes,
As did the youthful Paris once to Greece,
With hope to find the like event in love, ·aee105·
But prosper better than the Trojan did. [aee106]
Margaret shall now be queen, and rule the king;
But I will rule both her, the king and realm. [_Exit._
