KING RICHARD

 Then know that from my soul I love thy daughter.

ELIZABET H

 My daughter’s mother thinks it with her soul.

KING RICHARD

 What do you think?

ELIZABET H

 That thou dost love my daughter from thy soul:
 So from thy soul’s love didst thou love her brothers, [260]
 And from my heart’s love I do thank thee for it.

KING RICHARD

 Be not so hasty to confound my meaning:
 I mean that with my soul I love thy daughter,
 And do intend to make her Queen of England.

ELIZABET H

 Well then, who dost thou mean shall be her king? [265]

KING RICHARD

 Even he that makes her Queen. Who else should be?

ELIZABET H

 What, thou?

KING RICHARD

                Even so. How think you of it?

ELIZABET H

 How canst thou woo her?

KING RICHARD

                That would I learn of you,
 As one being best acquainted with her humour.

ELIZABET H
