Richard III
[I, 3]

Queen Elizabeth

545

By Him that raised me to this careful height
From that contented hap which I enjoy'd,
I never did incense his majesty
Against the Duke of Clarence, but have been
An earnest advocate to plead for him.
My lord, you do me shameful injury,
Falsely to draw me in these vile suspects.

Richard III
[II, 2]

Lord (Earl) Rivers

Madam, bethink you, like a careful mother,
Of the young prince your son: send straight for him
Let him be crown'd; in him your comfort lives:
Drown desperate sorrow in dead Edward's grave,
And plant your joys in living Edward's throne.

Good Norfolk, hie thee to thy charge;
Use careful watch, choose trusty sentinels.
