P. 1189
Tut, I can counterfeit the deep tragedian, [5]
Speak, and look back, and pry on every side,
Tremble and start at wagging of a straw,
Intending deep suspicion. Ghastly looks
Are at my service like enforced smiles,
And both are ready in their offices [10]
At any time to grace my stratagems.
But what, is Catesby gone?
Enter the [Lord] Mayor and Catesby.
RICHARD
He is, and see, he brings the Mayor along.
BUCKINGHAM
Lord Mayor -
RICHARD
Look to the draw-bridge there! [15]
BUCKINGHAM
Hark, a drum!
RICHARD
Catesby, o’erlook the walls!
[Exit Catesby.]
BUCKINGHAM
Lord Mayor, the reason we have sent -
Enter Lovell and Ratcliffe, with Hastings’s Head.
RICHARD
Look back! Defend thee, here are enemies!
BUCKINGHAM
God and our innocence defend and guard us! [20]
RICHARD
Be patient, they are friends: Ratcliffe and Lovell.
