Clarence - 1.1 Flashcards
CUE: THAT WAITS UPON YOUR GRACE?
His majesty
His majesty
Tendering my person’s safety, hath appointed
Tendering my person’s safety, hath appointed
This conduct to convey me to the Tower.
CUE: UPON WHAT CAUSE?
Because my name is George
CUE: BUT WHAT’S THE MATTER, CLARENCE? MAY I KNOW?
Yea, Richard, when I know; for I protest
Yea, Richard, when I know; for I protest
As yet I do not: but, as I can learn,
As yet I do not: but, as I can learn,
He hearkens after prophecies and dreams;
He hearkens after prophecies and dreams;
And from the cross-row plucks the letter G.
And from the cross-row plucks the letter G.
And says a wizard told him that by G
And says a wizard told him that by G
His issue disinherited should be;
His issue disinherited should be;
And, for my name of George begins with G,
And, for my name of George begins with G,

It follows in his thought that I am he.
These, as I learn, and such like toys as these
These, as I learn, and such like toys as these
Have moved his highness to commit me now.
CUE: WE ARE NOT SAFE, CLARENCE; WE ARE NOT SAFE.
By heaven, I think there’s no man is secure
By heaven, I think there’s no man is secure
But the queen’s kindred and night-walking heralds
But the queen’s kindred and night-walking heralds
That trudge betwixt the king and Mistress Shore.
CUE: TOUCHES ME DEEPER THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.
I know it pleaseth neither of us well.
CUE: MEANTIME, HAVE PATIENCE
I must perforce. Farewell.
