SCENE V.

To Gloster enter Dighton and Forrest.
Dighton.
It is a very palpable relief
To learn, my Forrest, that we never smothered
(At all events, not in King Richard's time),
The most replenished, sweet work of nature,
These everlasting babes within the Tower!

Forrest.
Nay; it was Henry VII who bade us smother!

Gloster.
What! wed a Princess and work off her brother!

[Exeunt Dighton and Forrest.
