Richard the Third, II. iii

Riv. And so in me; and so, I think, in all:

Yet, since it is but green, it should be put

To no apparent likelihood of breach,

Which haply by much company might be urg'd:

Therefore I say with noble Buckingham,

That it is meet so few should fetch the prince.

Hast. And so say I.

Rich. Then be it so: and go we to determine

Who they shall be that straight shall post to Ludlow.

Madam, and you my sister, will you go

To give your censures in this business?

Exeunt. Mane[n]t Buckingham and Richard.

Buck. My lord, whoever journeys to the prince,

For God's sake, let not us two stay at home:

For by the way I'll sort occasion,

As index to the story we late talk'd of,

To part the queen's proud kindred from the prince.

Rich. My other self, my counsel's consistory,

My oracle, my prophet! My dear cousin,

I, as a child, will go by thy direction.

Towards Ludlow, then, for we'll not stay behind.

Exeunt.
