bca SCENE I. The Abbey at Bury St Edmund’s.

Sound a Sennet. Enter KING, QUEEN, CARDINAL BEAUFORT, SUFFOLK, YORK, BUCKINGHAM, SALISBURY and WARWICK to the Parliament.

[♦] King. I muse my Lord of Gloucester is not come:

’Tis not his wont to be the hindmost man,

Whate’er occasion keeps him from us now:

[♦] Queen. Can you not see? or will ye not observe

5 The strangeness of his alter’d countenance?

With what a majesty he bears himself,

How insolent of late he is become,

[♦] How proud, how peremptory, and unlike himself?
