15881440Pri. God keepe me from false friends, but they wer none.

15891441Glo. My Lo, the Maior of London comes to greete you.

15931443Lo:M. God blesse your grace with health and happy daies.

15951444Prin. I thanke you good my Lo: and thanke you all:

15961445I thought my mother, and my brother Yorke,

15971446Would long ere this haue met vs on the way:

15981447Fie, what a slug is Hastings that he comes not

15991448To tell vs whether they will come, or no. ( Enter L. Hast.

16011449Buck. And in good time, here comes the sweating Lo:

16031450Pri. Welcome my Lo: what will our mother come?

16051451Hast. On what occasion, God he knowes, not I:

16061452The Queene your mother and your brother Yorke

16071453Haue taken sanctuary: The tender Prince

16081454Would faine haue come with me, to meete your Grace,

16091455But by his mother was perforce withheld.

16101456Buc. Fie, what an indirect and peeuish course

16111457Is this of hers? Lo: Cardinall will your grace

16121458Perswade the Queene to send the Duke of Yorke

16131459Vnto his Princely brother presently?

16141460If she deny, Lo: Hastings go with him,

16151461And from her iealous armes plucke him perforce.

16161462Car. My Lo: of Buckingham, if my weake oratory

16171463Can from his mother winne the Duke of Yorke,

16181464Anone expect him here: but if she be obdurate

16191465To milde entreaties, God in heauen forbid

16201466We should infringe the holy priuiledge

16211467Of blessed sanctuary, not for all this land,

16221468Would I be guilty of so deepe a sinne.

16231469Buck. You are too sencelesse obstinate my Lo:

16241470Too ceremonious and traditionall:

16251471Weigh it but with the grossenes of this age,

16261472You breake not sanctuary in seazing him:

16271473The benefit thereof is alwaies granted

16281474To those whose dealings haue deserude the place,

16291475And those who haue the wit to claime the place.

16301476This Prince hath neither claimed it, nor deserued it,

16311477And therefore in mine opinion, cannot haue it.
