CAT ESBY

My good lords both, with all the heed I can.

RICHARD

Shall we hear from you, Catesby, ere we sleep?

CAT ESBY

You shall, my lord.

RICHARD

At Crosby Place, there shall you find us both. [190]

Exit Catesby.

BUCKINGHAM

Now, my lord, what shall we do if we perceive
Lord Hastings will not yield to our complots?

RICHARD

Chop off his head, man; somewhat will we do.
And look when I am king, claim thou of me
The earldom of Hereford, and all the moveables [195]
Whereof the King my brother was possess’d.

BUCKINGHAM

I’ll claim that promise at your Grace’s hand.

RICHARD

And look to have it yielded with all kindness.
Come, let us sup betimes, that afterwards
We may digest our complots in some form. [200]

Exeunt.

Scene II IT

Enter a Messenger to the Door of Lord Hastings.

MESSENGER

My lord, my lord!
