And bestial appetite in change of lust, [80]
Which stretch’d unto their servants, daughters, wives,
Even where his raging eye or savage heart
Without control lusted to make a prey.
Nay, for a need, thus far come near my person:
Tell them, when that my mother went with child [85]
Of that insatiate Edward, noble York
My princely father then had wars in France,
And by true computation of the time
Found that the issue was not his-begot;
Which well appeared in his lineaments, [90]
Being nothing like the noble Duke, my father -
Yet touch this sparingly, as ’twere far off;
Because, my lord, you know my mother lives.

BUCKINGHAM

Doubt not, my lord: I’ll play the orator
As if the golden fee for which I plead [95]
Were for myself; and so, my lord, adieu.

RICHARD

If you thrive well, bring them to Baynard’s Castle,
Where you shall find me well accompanied
With reverend fathers and well-learned bishops.

BUCKINGHAM

I go, and towards three or four o’clock [100]
Look for the news that the Guildhall affords.

Exit.

RICHARD

Go, Lovell, with all speed, to Doctor Shaa;
[To Ratcliffe]

Go thou to Friar Penker; bid them both
Meet me within this hour at Baynard’s Castle.

Exeunt Ratcliffe and Lovell.
Now will I go to take some privy order [105]
To draw the brats of Clarence out of sight,
And to give notice that no manner person
Have, any time, recourse unto the Princes.
