Richard III
[III, 5]

Richard III (Duke of Gloucester)

2111

What, think You we are Turks or infidels?
Or that we would, against the form of law,
Proceed thus rashly to the villain's death,
But that the extreme peril of the case,
The peace of England and our persons' safety,
Enforced us to this execution?

Lady Anne

Their aunt I am in law, in love their mother:
Then bring me to their sights; I'll bear thy blame
And take thy office from thee, on my peril.

Richmond (Henry VII)

If without peril it be possible,
Good Captain Blunt, bear my good-night to him,
And give him from me this most needful scroll.
