KING EDWARD

Nay this way, man, see where the huntsmen stand. - [15]
Now, brother of Gloucester, Lord Hastings, and the rest,
Stand you thus close to steal the bishop’s deer?

GLOUCEST ER

Brother, the time and case requireth haste;
Your horse stands ready at the park corner.

KING EDWARD

But whither shall we, then?

HAST INGS

To Lynn, my lord, [20]
And shipped from thence to Flanders.

GLOUCEST ER

Well guessed, believe me, for that was my meaning.

KING EDWARD

Stanley, I will requite thy forwardness.

GLOUCEST ER

But wherefore stay we? ’Tis no time to talk.

KING EDWARD

Huntsman, what say’st thou? Wilt thou go along? [25]

HUNT SMAN

Better do so than tarry and be hanged.

GLOUCEST ER

Come then, away! Let’s ha’no more ado.

KING EDWARD

Bishop, farewell. Shield thee from Warwick’s frown
And pray that I may repossess the crown.

Exeunt.
