GLOSTER.
Good counsel, marry:--learn it, learn it, marquis. DORSET. It touches you, my lord, as much as me. GLOSTER. Ay, and much more: but I was born so high, Our aery buildeth in the cedar's top, And dallies with the wind, and scorns the sun. QUEEN MARGARET. And turns the sun to shade;--alas! alas!-- Witness my son, now in the shade of death; Whose bright out-shining beams thy cloudy wrath, Hath in eternal darkness folded up. Your aery buildeth in our aery's nest:-- O God that seest it, do not suffer it; As it is won with blood, lost be it so! BUCKINGHAM. Peace, peace, for shame, if not for charity. QUEEN MARGARET. Urge neither charity nor shame to me: Uncharitably with me have you dealt, And shamefully my hopes by you are butcher'd. My charity is outrage, life my shame,-- And in that shame still live my sorrow's rage! |
