RIVERS
Have patience, Madam, there’s no doubt his Majesty
Will soon recover his accustom’d health.
GREY
In that you brook it ill, it makes him worse;
Therefore, for God’s sake entertain good comfort,
And cheer his Grace with quick and merry eyes. [5]
ELIZABET H
If he were dead, what would betide on me?
GREY
No other harm but loss of such a lord.
ELIZABET H
The loss of such a lord includes all harms.
GREY
The heavens have bless’d you with a goodly son
To be your comforter when he is gone. [10]
ELIZABET H
Ah, he is young, and his minority
Is put unto the trust of Richard Gloucester,
A man that loves not me, nor none of you.
RIVERS
Is it concluded he shall be Protector?
ELIZABET H
It is determin’d, not concluded yet; [15]
But so it must be, if the King miscarry.
Enter Buckingham and [Stanley Earl of] Derby.
GREY
Here come the lords of Buckingham and Derby.
BUCKINGHAM
