More than the infant that is born to-night:
I thank my God for my humility. QUEEN ELIZABETH. A holy day shall this be kept hereafter:-- I would to God all strifes were well compounded.-- My sovereign lord, I do beseech your highness To take our brother Clarence to your grace. GLOSTER. Why, madam, have I off'red love for this, To be so flouted in this royal presence? Who knows not that the gentle duke is dead? [They all start.] You do him injury to scorn his corse. KING EDWARD. Who knows not he is dead! Who knows he is? QUEEN ELIZABETH. All-seeing heaven, what a world is this! BUCKINGHAM. Look I so pale, Lord Dorset, as the rest? DORSET. Ay, my good lord; and no man in the presence But his red colour hath forsook his cheeks. |
