And faith in me unto this commonwealth, And truth to men hath hitherto been seen, The Pilot that hath guided my lives course, Though 'twas my fortune to be wronged in both: And therefore Sir neither the mighties frown, Nor any bribes shall win me otherwise. 'tis well resolved: still methinks they should Be safe enough with us, and yet I fear, But now no more, it seems they are at hand. Uncle, what Gentleman is that? It is (sweet Prince) Lieutenant of the Tower. Sir we are come to be your guests tonight: I pray you tell me did you ever know, Our father Edward lodged within this place, Never to lodge (my liege) but oftentimes, On other occasions I have seen him here. Brother last night when you did send for me My mother told me, hearing we should lodge Within the Tower, that it was a prison, And therefore marvelled that my uncle Gloster, Of all the houses for a king's receipt, Within this City, had appointed none, Where you might keep your court but only here. Vile brats, how they do descant on the Tower. My gentle Nephew they were ill abused, To tutor you with such unfitting terms, (Who ere they were) against this royal mansion: What if some part of it hath been reserved, To be a prison for Nobility? Follows it therefore that it cannot serve, To any other use? Cesar himself That built the same, within it kept his Court, And many kings since him, the rooms are large, The building stately, and for strength beside, It is the safest and the surest hold you have. Uncle of Gloster, if you think it so, 'tis not for me to contradict your will, We must allow it, and are well content. On then a God's name. Yet before we go, One question more with you M. Lieutenant, We like you well, and but we do perceive, More comfort in your looks, then in these walls, For all our uncle Gloster's friendly speech, Our hearts would be as heavy still as lead, I pray you tell me, at which door or gate Was it my uncle Clarence did go in, When he was sent a prisoner to this place? At this my liege: why sighs your majesty? He went in here that near came back again, But as God hath decreed, so let it be, Come brother shall we go? Yes brother, anywhere with you. Sir were it best I did attend the Duke, Or stay his leisure till his back return? I pray master Tirill stay without, It is not good you should be seen by day Within the Tower, especially at this time, I'll tell his honour of your being here, And you shall know his pleasure presently.
