KING EDWARD

 Brothers, you muse what chat we two have had.

GLOUCEST ER

 The widow likes it not for she looks vexed. [110]

KING EDWARD

 You’d think it strange if I should marry her.

CLARENCE

 To who, my lord?

KING EDWARD

                Why, Clarence, to myself.

GLOUCEST ER

 That would be ten days’ wonder at the least.

CLARENCE

 That’s a day longer than a wonder lasts.

GLOUCEST ER

 By so much is the wonder in extremes. [115]

KING EDWARD

 Well, jest on, brothers; I can tell you both
 Her suit is granted for her husband’s lands.

                    Enter a Nobleman [Sir James Harrington].

HARRINGT ON

 My gracious lord, Henry your foe is taken
 And brought your prisoner to your palace gate.

KING EDWARD

 See that he be conveyed unto the Tower. - [120]
 And go we, brothers, to the man that took him
 To question of his apprehension. -
 Widow, go you along. - Lords, use her honourably.

                                                             Exeunt [all but Gloucester].
