ACT I.

SCENE FIRST.-An Apartment in the Tower. Enter the DUKE OF GLOSTER, SIR RICHARD RATCLIFFE, and SIR WILLIAM CATESBY, R.

DUKE. (c.) Thus far success attends upon our councils,
And each event has answered to my wish;
The queen and all her upstart race are quell'd;
Dorset is banish'd, and her brother Rivers,
Ere this, lies shorter by the head at Pomfret.
The nobles have with joint concurrence. nam'd me
Protector of the realm; my brother's children,
Young Edward and the little York, are lodg'd
Here, safe within the Tower. How say you, sirs,
Does not this business wear a lucky face?
The sceptre and the golden wreath of royalty
Seem hung within my reach.

RATCLIF. (R. C.)

Then take 'em to you,

And wear them long and worthily: you are

The last remaining male of princely York;

(For Edward's boys, the state esteems not of 'em.)
And therefore on your sov'reignty and rule

The commonweal does her dependence make,
And leans upon your highness' able hand.

CATES. (L.C.) And yet to-morrow does the council meet
To fix a day for Edward's coronation.

Who can expound this riddle?

DUKE.

That can I.

Those lords are each one my approv'd good friends,
