[♦] Ely. Now in good time, here comes the duke himself.

[♦] Glou. My noble lords and cousins all, good morrow.

[♦] I have been long a sleeper; but, I hope,

[25] My absence doth neglect no great designs,

[♦] Buck. Had not you come upon your cue, my lord,

[♦] William Lord Hastings had pronounced your part,—

[♦] I mean, your voice,—for crowning of the king.

[30] Glou. Than my Lord Hastings no man might be bolder;

His lordship knows me well, and loves me well.
