KING.
Uncle of Winchester, I pray, read on. CARDINAL. [Reads] 'Item, It is further agreed between them, that the duchies of Anjou and Maine shall be released and delivered over to the king her father, and she sent over of the King of England's own proper cost and charges, without having any dowry.' KING. They please us well.--Lord marquess, kneel down. We here create thee the first duke of Suffolk, And girt thee with the sword.--Cousin of York, We here discharge your grace from being regent I' the parts of France, till term of eighteen months Be full expir'd.--Thanks, uncle Winchester, Gloster, York, Buckingham, Somerset, Salisbury, and Warwick; We thank you all for this great favour done In entertainment to my princely queen. Come, let us in, and with all speed provide To see her coronation be perform'd. [Exeunt King, Queen, and Suffolk.] GLOSTER. Brave peers of England, pillars of the state, To you Duke Humphrey must unload his grief, Your grief, the common grief of all the land. |
