ANNE
What is it?
RICHARD
That it may please you leave these sad designs
To him that hath most cause to be a mourner, [215]
And presently repair to Crosby Place,
Where, after I have solemnly interr’d
At Chertsey Monastery this noble King,
And wet his grave with my repentant tears,
I will with all expedient duty see you. [220]
For divers unknown reasons, I beseech you
Grant me this boon.
ANNE
With all my heart, and much it joys me too,
To see you are become so penitent.
Tressel and Berkeley, go along with me. [225]
RICHARD
Bid me farewell.
ANNE
’Tis more than you deserve;
But since you teach me how to flatter you,
Imagine I have said farewell already.
Exeunt [Tressel and Berkeley] with Anne.
RICHARD
Sirs, take up the corse.
GENT LEMAN
Towards Chertsey, noble lord? [230]
RICHARD
No, to Whitefriars; there attend my coming.
Exeunt [Gentlemen and Halberds with] corse.
Was ever woman in this humour woo’d?
Was ever woman in this humour won?
I’ll have her, but I will not keep her long.
