Scene VIILondon. The palaceFlourish. Enter King Edward IV, Queen Elizabeth, Clarence, Gloucester, Hastings, a Nurse with the young Prince, and AttendantsKing Edward IVOnce more we sit in England’s royal throne, Re-purchased with the blood of enemies. What valiant foemen, like to autumn’s corn, Have we mow’d down, in tops of all their pride! Three Dukes of Somerset, threefold renown’d For hardy and undoubted champions; Two Cliffords, as the father and the son, And two Northumberlands; two braver men Ne’er spurr’d their coursers at the trumpet’s sound; With them, the two brave bears, Warwick and Montague, That in their chains fetter’d the kingly lion And made the forest tremble when they roar’d. Thus have we swept suspicion from our seat And made our footstool of security. Come hither, Bess, and let me kiss my boy. Young Ned, for thee, thine uncles and myself Have in our armours watch’d the winter’s night, Went all afoot in summer’s scalding heat, That thou mightst repossess the crown in peace; And of our labours thou shalt reap the gain.GloucesterAsideI’ll blast his harvest, if your head were laid; For yet I am not look’d on in the world. This shoulder was ordain’d so thick to heave; And heave it shall some weight, or break my back: Work thou the way,—and thou shalt execute.King Edward IVClarence and Gloucester, love my lovely queen; And kiss your princely nephew, brothers both.ClarenceThe duty that I owe unto your majesty I seal upon the lips of this sweet babe.Queen ElizabethThanks, noble Clarence; worthy brother, thanks.GloucesterAnd, that I love the tree from whence thou sprang’st, Witness the loving kiss I give the fruit.AsideTo say the truth, so Judas kiss’d his master, And cried ‘all hail!’ when as he meant all harm.King Edward IVNow am I seated as my soul delights, Having my country’s peace and brothers’ loves.ClarenceWhat will your grace have done with Margaret? Reignier, her father, to the king of France Hath pawn’d the Sicils and Jerusalem, And hither have they sent it for her ransom.King Edward IVAway with her, and waft her hence to France. And now what rests but that we spend the time With stately triumphs, mirthful comic shows, Such as befits the pleasure of the court? Sound drums and trumpets! farewell sour annoy! For here, I hope, begins our lasting joy.Exeunt
