K. Rich. Richmond! When last I was at Exeter, The Mayor in courtesy show'd me the castle, 1 1 Rouge-mont: at which name started; Because a bard of Ireland told me once, I should not live long after I saw Richmond. Buck. My Lord, K. Rich. Ay, what's o'clock ? Buck. I am thus bold To put your Grace in mind of what you promis'd me. K. Rich. Well, but what is't o'clock ? Buck. Upon the stroke Of ten. K. Rich. Well, let it strike. Buck. Why let it strike? K. Rich. Because that, like a Jack, thou keep'st the stroke Betwixt thy begging and my meditation, I am not in the giving vein to-day. Buck. Why, then resolve me whe'r you will, or no. K. Rich. Thou troublest me; I am not in the vein. Exeunt King RICHARD and Train. Buck.

Bad news, my Lord: Morton is fled to And Buckingham, back'd with the hardy Welch men, Is in the feld, and still his power encreaseth. K. Ric. Ely with Richmond troubles me more Te near, Than Buckingham and his rash-levied strength. Delay leads impotent and snail-pac'd beggary: Jove's Mercury, and herald for a King Go, muster men: My council is my shield; We must be brief, when traitors brave the field.** Q. Mar.
