Pray God the Duke of York excuse himself!
York. Doth any one accuse York for a traitor?
King. What mean’st thou, Suffolk; tell me, what are these?
Suf. Please it your majesty, this is the man
180 That doth accuse his master of high treason:
His words were these: that Richard Duke of York
Was rightful heir unto the English crown
And that your majesty was an usurper.
King. Say, man, were these thy words?
[185] Hor. An’t shall please your majesty, I never said nor thought any such matter: God is my witness, I am falsely accused by the villain.
