6969That tempers him to this extremity,

7070Was it not she and that good man of worshippe

7171Anthony Wooduile her brother there,

7272That made him send Lord Hastings to the tower;

7373From whence this present day he is deliuered?

7474We are not safe Clarence, we are not safe.

7575Cla. By heauen I thinke there is no man is securde,

7676But the Queenes kindred and night-walking Heralds,

7777That trudge betwixt the King and Mistresse Shore,

7878Heard ye not what an humble suppliant

7979Lord Hastings was to her for his deliuery.

8080Glo. Humbly complaining to her deity,

8181Got my Lord Chamberlaine his liberty.

8282Ile tell you what, I thinke it is our way,

8383If we will keepe in fauour with the King,

8484To be her men and weare her liuery.

8585The iealous oreworne widdow and her selfe,

8686Since that our brother dubd them gentlewomen,

8787Are mighty gossips in this monarchy.

8888Bro. I beseech your Graces both to pardon me:

8989His Maiesty hath streightly giuen in charge,

9090That no man shall haue priuate conference,

9191Of what degree soeuer with his brother.

9292Glo. Euen so and please your worship Brokenbury,

9393You may pertake of any thing we say:

9494We speake no treason man, we say the King

9595Is wise and vertuous, and his noble Queene

9696Well stroke in yeres, faire and not iealous.

9797We say that Shores wife hath a prety foote,

9898A cherry lippe, a bonny eie, a passing pleasing tongue:

9999And that the Queenes kindred are made gentlefolks.

100100How say you sir, can you deny all this?

101101Bro. With this (my Lord) my selfe haue nought to do.

103102Glo. Naught to do with Mistris Shore, I tell thee fellow,

104103He that doth naught with her, excepting one

105104Were best he doe it secretly alone.

108107Bro. I beseech your Grace to pardon me, and withal for- (beare

110108Your conference with the noble Duke.
