AUMERLE.
Then give me leave that I may turn the key,
That no man enter till my tale be done.

KING HENRY.
Have thy desire.

[Aumerle locks the door.]

YORK.
[Within.] My liege, beware! Look to thyself!
Thou hast a traitor in thy presence there.

KING HENRY.
[Drawing.] Villain, I’ll make thee safe.

AUMERLE.
Stay thy revengeful hand. Thou hast no cause to fear.

YORK.
[Within.] Open the door, secure, foolhardy king!
Shall I for love speak treason to thy face?
Open the door, or I will break it open.

[King Henry unlocks the door; and afterwards, relocks it.]

Enter York.

KING HENRY.
What is the matter, uncle? Speak!
Recover breath. Tell us how near is danger,
That we may arm us to encounter it.
