ase.
[_Points to the gown_.
He cozen'd me of mine; the porter helped him.
HEN. The porter shall be hang'd; let's part and seek him:
Gloster shall die; all Europe shall not save him.
JOHN. He is wise, too wise for us; yet I'll go with you
To get more fools into my company.
QUEEN. This is your father's plot; revenge it, son.
HEN. Father, by heaven, if this were your advice,
Your head or heart shall pay the bitter price.
Come, mother, brother, Leicester; let's away.
JOHN. Ay, I'll be one, in hope to meet the bastard,
And then no more: myself will be his headsman.
[_Exeunt_.
KING. Richard and Fauconbridge, follow the search;
You may prevent mischance by meeting Gloster.
If ye find Skink, see that you apprehend him.
I hear there is a wizard at Blackheath;
Let some inquire of him, where Skink remains.
Although I trust not to those fallacies,
Yet now and then such men prove soothsayers.
Will you be gone?
FAU. With all my heart, with all my heart, my lord.
Come, princely Richard, we are ever yok'd.
Pray God, there be no mystery in this.
RICH. Be not suspicious, where there is no cause.
FAU. Nay, nothing, nothing; I am but in jest.
[_Exeunt_.
KING. Call in a pursuivant.
LAN. Here's one, my liege.
_Enter_ PURSUIVANT.
KING. There is a porter likely to be hang'd
For letting Gloster 'scape; sirrah, attend.
You shall have a reprieve to bring him us.
These boys are too-too stubborn, Lancaster;
But 'tis their mother's fault. If thus she move me,
I'll have her head, though all the world reprove me.
[_Exeunt_.
SCENE THE SIXTEENTH.
_Enter_ ROBIN HOOD _and_ LADY FAUCONBRIDGE.
LADY F. Do not deny me, gentle Huntington.
ROB. My lord will miss me.
LADY F. Tut, let me excuse thee.
ROB. Turn, woman? O, it is intolerable!
Except you promise me to play the page.
Do that, try one night, and you'll laugh for ever
To hear the orisons that lovers use:
Their ceremonies, sighs, their idle oaths!
To hear how you are prais'd and pray'd unto.
For you are Richard's saint. They talk of Mary
The blessed Virgin; but upon his beads
He only prays to Marian Fauconbridge.
LADY F. The more his error; but will you agree
To be the Lady Fauconbridge one day?
ROB. When is't?
LADY. F. On Monday.
ROB. Wherefore is't?
LADY F. Nay, then
