I have no brother, I am like no brother: And not in me; I am myself alone.— [Exit. SCENE VII.-The same. A room in the palace. King EDWARD is discovered sitting on his throne; Queen ELIZABETH with the infant Prince, Clarence, Gloster, Hastings, and Others, near him. K. Edw. Once more we sit in England's royal throne, Re-purchas'd with the blood of enemies. Two Cliffords, as the father and the son: Ne'er spurr'd their coursers at the trumpet's sound: With them, the two brave bears, Warwick and Mon tague, That in their chains fetter'd the kingly lion, And made our footstool of security. Come hither, Bess, and let me kiss my boy:- Glo. I'll blast his harvest, if your head were laid; For yet I am not look'd on in the world. This shoulder was ordain'd so thick, to heave; queen; And kiss your princely nephew, brothers both. Clar. The duty, that I owe unto your majesty,' I seal upon the lips of this sweet babe. K. Edw. Thanks, noble Clarence; worthy brother, thanks. Glo. And, that I love the tree from whence thou sprang'st, Witness the loving kiss I give the fruit : To say the truth, so Judas kiss'd his master; And cried-all hail! when as he meant --all harm. Aside. K. Edw. Now am I seated as my soul delights, Having my country's peace, and brothers' loves. Clar. What will your grace have done with Margaret? Reignier, her father, to the king of France Hath pawn'd the Sicils and Jerusalem, And hither have they sent it for her ransom. K. Edw. Away with her, and waft her hence to And now what rests, but that we spend the time With stately triumphs, mirthful comic shows, Sound, drums and trumpets!-farewell, sour annoy! [Exeunt.
