face of heaven； To be discover'd； that can do me good？ KING RICHARD。
advancement of your children； gentle lady。 QUEEN ELIZABETH。 Up to
some scaffold； there to lose their heads？ KING RICHARD。 Unto the
dignity and height of Fortune； The high imperial type of this earth's glory。
QUEEN ELIZABETH。 Flatter my sorrow with report of it； Tell me what
state； what dignity； what honour； Canst thou demise to any child of mine？
KING RICHARD。 Even all I have…ay； and myself and all Will I withal
endow a child of thine； So in the Lethe of thy angry soul Thou drown the
sad remembrance of those wrongs Which thou supposest I have done to
thee。 QUEEN ELIZABETH。 Be brief； lest that the process of thy kindness
Last longer telling than thy kindness' date。 KING RICHARD。 Then know；
that from my soul I love thy daughter。 QUEEN ELIZABETH。 My
daughter's mother thinks it with her soul。 KING RICHARD。 What do you
think？ QUEEN ELIZABETH。 That thou dost love my daughter from thy
soul。 So from thy soul's love didst thou love her brothers； 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。 QUEEN ELIZABETH。 Well；
then； who dost thou mean shall be her king？ KING RICHARD。 Even he
that makes her Queen。 Who else should be？ QUEEN ELIZABETH。 What；
thou？ KING RICHARD。 Even so。 How think you of it？ QUEEN
ELIZABETH。 How canst thou woo her？ KING RICHARD。 That would I
learn of you； As one being best acquainted with her humour。 QUEEN
ELIZABETH。 And wilt thou learn of me？ KING RICHARD。 Madam；
with all my heart。 QUEEN ELIZABETH。 Send to her； by the man that
slew her brothers； A pair of bleeding hearts； thereon engrave 'Edward' and
'York。' Then haply will she weep； Therefore present to her…as sometimes
Margaret Did to thy father； steep'd in Rutland's blood… A handkerchief；
which； say to her； did drain The purple sap from her sweet brother's body；
And bid her wipe her weeping eyes withal。 If this inducement move her
not to love； Send her a letter of thy noble deeds； Tell her thou mad'st away
her uncle Clarence； Her uncle Rivers； ay； and for her sake Mad'st quick
conveyance with her good aunt Anne。 KING RICHARD。 You mock me；
madam； this is not the way To win your daughter。 QUEEN ELIZABETH。

KING RICHARD III
There is no other way； Unless thou couldst put on some other shape And
not be Richard that hath done all this。 KING RICHARD。 Say that I did all
this for love of her。 QUEEN ELIZABETH。 Nay； then indeed she cannot
choose but hate thee； Having bought love with such a bloody spoil。 KING
RICHARD。 Look what is done cannot be now amended。 Men shall deal
unadvisedly sometimes； Which after…hours gives leisure to repent。 If I did
take the kingdom from your sons； To make amends I'll give it to your
daughter。 If I have kill'd the issue of your womb； To quicken your increase
I will beget Mine issue of your blood upon your daughter。 A grandam's
name is little less in love Than is the doating title of a mother； They are as
children but one step below； Even of your metal； of your very blood； Of all
one pain； save for a night of groans Endur'd of her； for whom you bid like
sorrow。 Your children were vexation to your youth； But mine shall be a
comfort to your age。 The loss you have is but a son being King； And by
that loss your daughter is made Queen。 I cannot make you what amends I
would； Therefore accept such kindness as I can。 Dorset your son； that with
a fearful soul Leads discontented steps in foreign soil； This fair alliance
quickly shall can home To high promotions and great dignity。 The King；
that calls your beauteous daughter wife； Familiarly shall call thy Dorset
brother； Again shall you be mother to a king； And all the ruins of
distressful times Repair'd with double riches of content。 What！ we have
many goodly days to see。 The liquid drops of tears that you have shed
Shall come again； transform'd to orient pearl； Advantaging their loan with
interest Of ten times double gain of happiness。 Go； then； my mother； to thy
daughter go； Make bold her bashful years with your experience； Prepare
her ears to hear a wooer's tale； Put in her tender heart th' aspiring flame Of
golden sovereignty； acquaint the Princes With the sweet silent hours of
marriage joys。 And when this arm of mine hath chastised The petty rebel；
dull…brain'd Buckingham； Bound with triumphant garlands will I come；
And lead thy daughter to a conqueror's bed； To whom I will retail my
conquest won； And she shall be sole victoress； Caesar's Caesar。 QUEEN
ELIZABETH。 What were I best to say？ Her father's brother Would be her
lord？ Or shall I say her uncle？ Or he that slew her brothers and her uncles？
Under what title shall I woo for thee That God； the law； my honour； and

her love Can make seem pleasing to her tender years？ KING RICHARD。
Infer fair England's peace by this alliance。 QUEEN ELIZABETH。 Which
she shall purchase with still…lasting war。 KING RICHARD。 Tell her the
King； that may command； entreats。 QUEEN ELIZABETH。 That at her
hands which the King's King forbids。 KING RICHARD。 Say she shall be
a high and mighty queen。 QUEEN ELIZABETH。 To wail the title； as her
mother doth。 KING RICHARD。 Say I will love her everlastingly。 QUEEN
ELIZABETH。 But how long shall that title 'ever' last？ KING RICHARD。
Sweetly in force unto her fair life's end。 QUEEN ELIZABETH。 But how
long fairly shall her sweet life last？ KING RICHARD。 As long as heaven
and nature lengthens it。 QUEEN ELIZABETH。 As long as hell and
Richard likes of it。 KING RICHARD。 Say I； her sovereign； am her subject
low。 QUEEN ELIZABETH。 But she； your subject； loathes such
sovereignty。 KING RICHARD。 Be eloquent in my behalf to her。 QUEEN
ELIZABETH。 An honest tale speeds best being plainly told。 KING
RICHARD。 Then plainly to her tell my loving tale。 QUEEN ELIZABETH。
Plain and not honest is too harsh a style。 KING RICHARD。 Your reasons
are too shallow and too quick。 QUEEN ELIZABETH。 O； no； my reasons
are too deep and dead… Too deep and dead； poor infants； in their graves。
KING RICHARD。 Harp not on that s
