[♦] K. Rich. Ha! am I king? ’tis so: but Edward lives.

Buck. True, noble prince.

15 K. Rich. O bitter consequence,

[♦] Cousin, thou wert not wont to be so dull:

Shall I be plain? I wish the bastards dead;

And I would have it suddenly perform’d.

[20] What sayest thou? speak suddenly; be brief.

Buck. Your grace may do your pleasure.
