Y ORK
I weigh it lightly, were it heavier.
RICHARD
What, would you have my weapon, little lord?
Y ORK
I would, that I might thank you as you call me.
RICHARD
How?
Y ORK
Little. [125]
PRINCE
My lord of York will still be cross in talk;
Uncle, your Grace knows how to bear with him.
Y ORK
You mean to bear me, not to bear with me;
Uncle, my brother mocks both you and me:
Because that I am little like an ape, [130]
He thinks that you should bear me on your shoulders!
BUCKINGHAM
With what a sharp-provided wit he reasons:
To mitigate the scorn he gives his uncle
He prettily and aptly taunts himself.
So cunning and so young is wonderful! [135]
RICHARD
My lord, will’t please you pass along?
Myself and my good cousin Buckingham
Will to your mother, to entreat of her
To meet you at the Tower and welcome you.
Y ORK
What, will you go unto the Tower, my lord? [140]
