P. 845
GLOUCEST ER
[aside to Clarence]
Silence! [15]
KING EDWARD
Widow, we will consider of your suit;
And come some other time to know our mind.
LADY GREY
Right gracious lord, I cannot brook delay:
May it please your highness to resolve me now,
And what your pleasure is shall satisfy me. [20]
GLOUCEST ER
[aside to Clarence]
Ay, widow? Then I’ll warrant you all your lands
And if what pleases him shall pleasure you:
Fight closer or, good faith, you’ll catch a blow.
CLARENCE
[aside to Gloucester]
I fear her not, unless she chance to fall.
GLOUCEST ER
[aside to Clarence]
God forbid that, for he’ll take vantages. [25]
KING EDWARD
How many children hast thou, widow, tell me?
CLARENCE
[aside to Gloucester]
I think he means to beg a child of her.
GLOUCEST ER
[aside to Clarence]
Nay then, whip me: he’ll rather give her two.
LADY GREY
Three, my most gracious lord.
