Full speech
Well mistress Shore, its Like to be a busy time, Shift for your self, come lads let us be gone, Royal King Richard must be wait upon. I pray master Tirill stay without, It is not good you should be seen by day Within the Tower, especially at this time, I'll tell his honour of your being here, And you shall know his pleasure presently. It is ift Like your excellency. Now M. Sheriff of London do your office, Attach this rebel to his Majesty, And having stripped her to her petticoat, Turn her out a doors, with this condition, That no man harbour her, that durst presume To harbour that lewd courtesan Shores wife, Against the strait commandment of the King. Away with her I say. The while le seize upon her house & goods, Which wholly are confiscate to the King. Your highness hand and seal, For transportation of Hides, Corn and Led. Why my good Lord, you kn w she's dead already. I my good Lord, so is her husband too. Where Air was hanged for giving her relief, There both of them round circling his cold graven, And arm in arm departed from this life: The people for the love they bear to her, And her kind husband, pitying his wrongs, For ever after mean to call the ditch, Shores Ditch, as in the memory of them, Their bodies in the Friars minorites, Are in one graven interred all together, But mistress Blage for ingratitude, To mistress Shore, lies dead unburied, And no one will afford her burial. A staff, a staff, a thousand crowns for a staff. Why man a white staff for my lord Protector. Dead Lovel, dead, and Richard our good Lord Is made Protector of the sweet young Prince. O for a staff, where might I have a staff, That I might first present it to his hand? Why how now mistress Shore? what, put finger in the ease, Nay then I see you have some cause to erie.
Plot summary
Plot — 2 Edward the Fourth
King Edward invades France; but the Duke of Burgundy and the Constable of France fail to supply the military aid they promised. Several English soldiers are shot by the Constable's men in a failed attempt to assassinate Edward; the Constable pleads an accident,The English herald sent to King Louis is offered peace terms, which Edward modifies: Louis must submit to his suzerainty, and pay both the expenses of the invasion and an annual tribute thereafter. Louis accepts the offer and a treaty is agreed. Burgundy and the Constable try to double-cross both Edward and one another: each writes independently to both Edward and Louis, offering Louis Edward's murder and Edward assistance against Louis. Edward feigns deafness, forcing the envoys to speak loud enough for the hidden Louis to hear; then confronts the envoys with their masters' treachery. He returns to England, leaving troops in France to help Louis rout the traitors. Jane Shore visits the London prisons, distributing alms to the prisoners. Brakenbury solicits her help to procure a pardon for his kinsman Strangwidge, whose actions against French shipping were committed in ignorance of the recent treaty which made them piratical. Also condemned is his passenger, known as Flood but actually Matthew Shore. The Queen first confronts, then forgives Jane for her adultery with Edward. The King pardons Strangwidge and his crew, and Jane pays their prison fees herself. Brakenbury employs 'Flood' at the Tower. Edward has fallen ill and is anxious about a prophecy that 'G' will dispose of his sons and usurp the throne. His brother Clarence is imprisoned and drowned in the Tower. Edward dies and Richard of Gloucester becomes Lord Protector. Jane is expelled from court, and goes to stay with Mistress Blague. Richard lodges the young King and his brother in the Tower and has them murdered. 'Flood' is wounded in an altercation with the murderers and seeks succour at Mistress Blague's inn, where he is tended by Jane. The ghost of Friar Anselm tells Dr Shaw that everyone involved in the death of the princes will come to a bad end; Richard will reign only three years. Richard issues a proclamation banning anyone from giving Jane food or shelter, and Mistress Blague turns her out; but not soon enough to evade being arrested. Jane does penance. Several grateful Londoners give her food, but are arrested. Aire is hanged and Jockie whipped, but 'Flood' exonerates himself by revealing his true identity: it cannot be illegal…
