MARGARET

[Aside]
Hie thee to hell for shame, and leave this world,
Thou cacodemon: there thy kingdom is.

RIVERS

My lord of Gloucester, in those busy days [145]
Which here you urge to prove us enemies,
We follow’d then our lord, our sovereign king:
So should we you, if you should be our king.

RICHARD

If I should be? I had rather be a pedlar!
Far be it from my heart, the thought thereof. [150]

ELIZABET H

As little joy, my lord, as you suppose
You should enjoy, were you this country’s king:
As little joy you may suppose in me
That I enjoy, being the Queen thereof.

MARGARET

[Aside]
Ay, little joy enjoys the Queen thereof: [155]
For I am she, and altogether joyless.
I can no longer hold me patient!
[Coming forward] Hear me, you wrangling pirates, that fall out
In sharing that which you have pill’d from me:
Which of you trembles not, that looks on me? [160]
If not that I am Queen you bow like subjects,
Yet that by you depos’d you quake like rebels.
Ah, gentle villain! do not turn away.

RICHARD

Foul wrinkled witch, what mak’st thou in my sight?

MARGARET

But repetition of what thou hast marr’d: [165]
That will I make, before I let thee go.
