Why doubtless Richard will be kind to you. Ah my Lord Lovell, God bless me from his kindness: No sooner was the white staff in his hand, But finding me and the right woeful Queen, Sadly bemoaning such a mighty loss: Here is no place quoth he, you must be gone, We have other matters now to think upon. For you, (quoth he to me) ant bit his lip, And stroke me with his staff, but said no more. Whereby I know he meaneth me no good. Well mistress Shore, it's like to be a busy time, Shift for yourself, come lads let us be gone, Royal King Richard must be wait upon. Well mistress Shore, if you have need of me, You shall command me to the uttermost. First let me die ere I do put my trust, In any fliering Spaniel of you all. Go jockey, take down all my hangings, And quickly see my trunks be conveyed forth, To mistress Blages, an Inn in Lombardstreet, The Flower de Luce, good jockey make some speed, She, she must be my refuge in this need. See it done quickly jockey. Whickly quoth 'a? marry here's a whick change indeed, sick whick change did I near see before. Now dream I, that i'll be a very pure fellow, and hardly ha any siller to drink with a good fellow. But what stand I tattling here. I must go do my masters bidding, carry all her stuff and gear to mistress Blages, at the Flower de luce in Lombardstreet, whick then dispatch. Come hither Flood let me hear thy opinion, Thou knowest I build upon thy confidence, And honest dealing in thy greatest affairs: I have received letters from the Duke, Gloster I mean, Protector of the land, Who gives in charge the Tower be prepared, This night to entertain the two young princes, It is my duty to obey I know, But manifold suspicion troubles me. He is their uncle Sir, and in that sense, Nature should warrant their security, Next his deceased brother at his death, To Richard's care committed both the realm, And their protection: where humanity Stands as an Orator to plead against All wrong suggestion of uncivil thoughts: Beside you are Lieutenant of the Tower, Say there should be any hurt pretended, The privilege of your authority Pries into every corner of this house, And what can then be done without your knowledge? Thou sayest true Flood, though Richard be Protector, When once they are within the Tower limits, The charge of them (unless he derogate) From this my office, which was never siene, In any king's time; doth belong to me: And ere that Brackenburie will consent, Or suffer wrong be done unto these babes, His sword, & all the strength within the Tower Shall be opposed against the proudest comer, Be it to my soul as I intend to them.
