SCENE I. London. The Palace

[Enter GLOSTER, CLARENCE, SOMERSET, and MONTAGUE.]

GLOSTER.
Now tell me, brother Clarence, what think you
Of this new marriage with the Lady Grey?
Hath not our brother made a worthy choice?

CLARENCE.
Alas! you know 't is far from hence to France;
How could he stay till Warwick made return?

SOMERSET.
My lords, forbear this talk; here comes the King.

[Flourish. Enter KING EDWARD, attended; LADY GREY, as Queen;
PEMBROKE, STAFFORD, HASTINGS, and others.]

GLOSTER.
And his well-chosen bride.

CLARENCE.
I mind to tell him plainly what I think.

KING EDWARD.
Now, brother Clarence, how like you our choice
That you stand pensive as half malcontent?
