  are seen; wise men put on their cloaks; When great leaves fall; then winter
  is   at   hand;   When   the   sun   sets;   who   doth   not   look   for   night?   Untimely
  storms make men expect a dearth。 All may be well; but; if God sort it so;
  'Tis   more   than   we   deserve   or   I   expect。   SECOND   CITIZEN。   Truly;   the

  hearts of men are fun of fear。 You cannot reason almost with a man That
  looks not heavily and fun of dread。 THIRD CITIZEN。 Before the days of
  change;   still   is   it   so;   By   a   divine   instinct   men's   minds   mistrust   Ensuing
  danger; as by proof we see The water swell before a boist'rous storm。 But
  leave it all to God。 Whither away? SECOND CITIZEN。 Marry; we were
  sent   for   to   the   justices。   THIRD   CITIZEN。   And   so   was   I;   I'll   bear   you
  company。 Exeunt

  SCENE 4。
  London。 The palace
  Enter   the ARCHBISHOP   OF  YORK;   the   young   DUKE   OF  YORK;
  QUEEN ELIZABETH; and the DUCHESS OF YORK
  ARCHBISHOP。 Last night; I hear; they lay at Stony Stratford; And at
  Northampton   they  do   rest   to…night;   To…morrow   or   next   day   they  will   be
  here。 DUCHESS。 I long with all my heart to see the Prince。 I hope he is
  much grown since last I saw him。 QUEEN ELIZABETH。 But I hear no;
  they say my son of York Has almost overta'en him in his growth。 YORK。
  Ay; mother; but I would not have it so。 DUCHESS。 Why; my good cousin;
  it is good to grow。 YORK。 Grandam; one night as we did sit at supper; My
  uncle Rivers talk'd how I did grow More than my brother。 'Ay;' quoth my
  uncle   Gloucester   'Small   herbs   have   grace:   great   weeds   do   grow   apace。'
  And since; methinks; I would not grow so fast; Because sweet flow'rs are
  slow    and   weeds   make    haste。  DUCHESS。       Good    faith;  good   faith;  the
  saying did not hold In him that did object the same to thee。 He was the
  wretched'st thing when he was young; So long a…growing and so leisurely
  That; if his rule were true; he should be gracious。 ARCHBISHOP。 And so
  no doubt he is; my gracious madam。 DUCHESS。 I hope he is; but yet let
  mothers   doubt。   YORK。   Now;   by   my   troth;   if   I   had   been   rememb'red;   I
  could have given my uncle's Grace a flout To touch his growth nearer than
  he touch'd mine。 DUCHESS。 How; my young York? I prithee let me hear
  it。 YORK。 Marry; they say my uncle grew so fast That he could gnaw a
  crust   at   two  hours   old。   'Twas  full   two  years  ere   I   could  get   a  tooth。
  Grandam; this would have been a biting jest。 DUCHESS。 I prithee; pretty
  York;   who   told   thee   this?   YORK。   Grandam;   his   nurse。   DUCHESS。   His
  nurse! Why she was dead ere thou wast born。 YORK。 If 'twere not she; I
  cannot tell who told me。 QUEEN ELIZABETH。 A parlous boy! Go to; you
  are too shrewd。 ARCHBISHOP。 Good madam; be not angry with the child。
  QUEEN ELIZABETH。 Pitchers have ears。
  Enter a MESSENGER
  ARCHBISHOP。           Here     comes      a    messenger。      What      news?
  MESSENGER。   Such   news;   my   lord;   as   grieves   me   to   report。   QUEEN

  KING RICHARD III
  ELIZABETH。 How doth the Prince? MESSENGER。 Well; madam; and in
  health。   DUCHESS。   What   is   thy   news?   MESSENGER。   Lord   Rivers   and
  Lord   Grey   Are   sent   to   Pomfret;   and   with   them   Sir   Thomas   Vaughan;
  prisoners。   DUCHESS。   Who   hath   committed   them?   MESSENGER。   The
  mighty   Dukes;   Gloucester   and   Buckingham。   ARCHBISHOP。   For   what
  offence? MESSENGER。 The sum of all I can; I have disclos'd。 Why or for
  what the nobles were committed Is all unknown to me; my gracious lord。
  QUEEN ELIZABETH。 Ay me; I see the ruin of my house! The tiger now
  hath   seiz'd  the  gentle  hind;   Insulting  tyranny   begins   to  jet  Upon  the
  innocent and aweless throne。 Welcome; destruction; blood; and massacre!
  I   see;   as   in   a   map;   the   end   of   all。   DUCHESS。   Accursed   and   unquiet
  wrangling days; How many of you have mine eyes beheld! My husband
  lost his life to get the crown; And often up and down my sons were toss'd
  For   me   to  joy  and  weep    their  gain  and  loss;  And   being   seated;  and
  domestic  broils   Clean over…blown;   themselves   the  conquerors   Make   war
  upon themselves…brother to brother; Blood to blood; self   against  self。  O;
  preposterous And frantic outrage; end thy damned spleen; Or let me die; to
  look on death no more! QUEEN ELIZABETH。 Come; come; my boy; we
  will to sanctuary。 Madam; farewell。 DUCHESS。 Stay; I will go with you。
  QUEEN       ELIZABETH。        You   have   no   cause。  ARCHBISHOP。         'To   the
  QUEEN' My gracious lady; go。 And thither bear your treasure and your
  goods。   For   my   part;   I'll   resign   unto   your   Grace The   seal   I   keep;   and   so
  betide to me As well I tender you and all of yours! Go; I'll conduct you to
  the sanctuary。 Exeunt

  SCENE 1。
  London。 A street
  The trumpets sound。 Enter the PRINCE OF WALES; GLOUCESTER;
  BUCKINGHAM; CATESBY; CARDINAL BOURCHIER; and others
  BUCKINGHAM。            Welcome;      sweet   Prince;    to  London;     to  your
  chamber。 GLOUCESTER。 Welcome; dear cousin; my thoughts' sovereign。
  The weary way hath made you melancholy。 PRINCE。 No; uncle; but our
  crosses on the way Have made it tedious; wearisome; and heavy。 I want
  more     uncles  here   to  welcome     me。   GLOUCESTER。          Sweet    Prince;  the
  untainted virtue of your years Hath not yet div'd into the world's deceit;
  Nor more can you distinguish of a man Than of his outward show; which;
  God   He   knows;   Seldom   or   never   jumpeth   with   the   heart。   Those   uncles
  which   you   want   were   dangerous;   Your   Grace   attended   to   their   sug'red
  words   But   look'd   not   on   the   poison   of   their   hearts。   God   keep   you   from
  them   and   from   such   false   friends!   PRINCE。   God   keep   me   from   false
  friends!   but   they   were   none。   GLOUCESTER。   My   lord;   the   Mayor          of
  London comes to greet you。
  Enter the LORD MAYOR and his train
  MAYOR。       God    bless   your   Grace    with   health   and   happy     days!
  PRINCE。   I   thank   you;   good   my   lord;   and   thank   you   all。   I   thought   my
  mother and my brother York Would long ere this have met us on the way。
  Fie; what a slug is Hastings; that he comes not To tell us whether they will
  come or no!
  Enter LORD HASTINGS
  BUCKINGHAM。 And; in good time; here comes the sweating Lord。
  PRINCE。 Welcome; my lord。 What; will our mother come? HASTINGS。
  On what occasion; God He knows; not I; The Queen your mother and your
  brother   York   Have   taken   sanctuary。   The   tender   Prince   Would   fain   have
  come     with   me   to  meet   your   Grace;   But   by  his  mother    was   perforce
  withheld。   BUCKINGHAM。   Fie;   what   an   indirect   and   peevish   course   Is
  this of hers? Lord Cardinal; will your Grace Persuade the Queen to send
  the Duke of York Unto his princely brother presently? If she deny; Lord
  Hastings;   go   with   him   And   from   her   jealous   arms   pluck   him   perforce。
