Why, what should you fear? Marry my Uncle Clarence angry ghost: My Granam told me he was murdered there. I fear no Uncles dead. Nor none that hue, I hope. And if they live, I hope I need not fear: But come my Lo: with a heavy heart Thinking on them, go I unto the tower. Think you my Lo: this little prating York, Was not incensed by his subtile mother, To taunt and scorn you thus opprobriously? No doubt, no doubt, Oh 'tis a perilous boy, Bold, quick, ingenious, forward, capable, He is all the mothers, from the top to toe. Well, let them rest: Come hither Catesby, Thou art sworn as deeply to effect what we intend, As closely to conceal what we impart, Thou knowest our reasons urged upon the way: What thinkest thou? is it not an easy matter To make William Lo: Hastings of our mind, For the instalement of this noble Duke, In the seat royal of this famous Isle? He for his father's sake so loves the Prince, That he will not be won to aught against him. What thinkest thou then of Stanley what will he? He will do all in all as Hastings doth. Well then no more but this: Go gentle Catesby, and as it were a far off▪ Sound thou Lo: Hastings, how he stands affected Unto our purpose, if he be willing, Encourage him, and show him all our reasons: If he be leaden, ●c●e, cold, Unwilling, Be thou so too: and so break off your talk, And give us notice of his inclination: For we to morrow hold divided counsels, Wherein thyself shalt highly be employed. Commend me to Lo: William, tell him Catesby, His ancient knot of dangerous adversaries To morrow are let blood at Pomfret Castle, And bid my friend for joy of this good news, Give Mistress Shore, one gentle kiss the more. Good Catesby effect this business sound. My good Lo: both, with all the heed I may. Shall we hear from you Catesby ere we sleep? You shall my Lord. At Crosby place there shall you find us both. Now my Lo: what shall we do, if we perceive William Lo: Hastings will not yield to our complots? Chop of his head man, somewhat we will do, And look when I am King, claim thou of me The Earldom of Hereford and the movables, Whereof the King my brother stood possessed. I'll claim that promise at your Grace's hands. And look to have it yielded with all willingness: Come let us sup betimes, that afterwards We may digest our complots in some form. What 〈◊〉 my Lord. Who knocks at the door. A messenger from the Lo: Stanley. What's a clock? Upon the stroke of four. Cannot thy Master sleep these tedious 〈◊〉? So it should seem by that I ha●e to say: First he commends him to your noble Lordship. And then.
