¶Glo. Would you inforce me to a world of care:
¶Well, call them againe, I am not made of stones,

¶Albeit against my conscience and my soule,
¶Coosin of Buckingham, and you sage graue men,
¶Since you will buckle fortune on my backe,
2450To beare her burthen whether I will or no,
¶I must haue patience to indure the lode,
¶But if blacke scandale or soule-fac't reproch
¶Attend the sequell of your imposition,
¶Your meere inforcement shall acquittance mee
2455From all the impure blots and staines thereof,
¶For God he knowes, and you may partly see,
¶How farre I am from the desire thereof. 
¶Mayor. God blesse your grace, we see it, and will say it. 
2460Glo. In saying so, you shall but say the truth.

2465Glo. Euen when you will, since you will haue it so. 
¶Buck. To morrow then we will attend your grace.

¶Farewel good coosine, farwel gentle friends.

¶Duch. No farther then the Tower, and as I ghesse
¶Vpon the like deuotion as your selues,
¶To gratulate the tender Princes there. 
2485Qu. Kind sister thanks, weele enter al togither,  Enter
