Good morrow to my sovereign king and queen;
And, princely peers, a happy time of day! KING EDWARD. Happy, indeed, as we have spent the day. Gloster, we have done deeds of charity; Made peace of enmity, fair love of hate, Between these swelling wrong-incensed peers. GLOSTER. A blessed labour, my most sovereign lord,-- Among this princely heap, if any here, By false intelligence or wrong surmise, Hold me a foe; If I unwittingly, or in my rage, Have aught committed that is hardly borne To any in this presence, I desire To reconcile me to his friendly peace: 'Tis death to me to be at enmity; I hate it, and desire all good men's love.-- First, madam, I entreat true peace of you, Which I will purchase with my duteous service;-- Of you, my noble cousin Buckingham, If ever any grudge were lodg'd between us;-- Of you, and you, Lord Rivers, and of Dorset, That all without desert have frown'd on me; Of you, Lord Woodville, and, Lord Scales, of you;-- Dukes, earls, lords, gentlemen;--indeed, of all. I do not know that Englishman alive With whom my soul is any jot at odds |
