LADY GREY.
Be pitiful, dread lord, and grant it then.
KING EDWARD.
Lords, give us leave; I’ll try this widow’s wit.
RICHARD.
[Aside to George.] Ay, good leave have you; for you will have leave
Till youth take leave and leave you to the crutch.
[Richard and George stand aside.]
KING EDWARD.
Now tell me, madam, do you love your children?
LADY GREY.
Ay, full as dearly as I love myself.
KING EDWARD.
And would you not do much to do them good?
LADY GREY.
To do them good I would sustain some harm.
KING EDWARD.
Then get your husband’s lands to do them good.
LADY GREY.
Therefore I came unto your majesty.
