ACT 2
Scene 2

...death and treachery!
Sound Trumpets. Enter the King of England, Scroop, Cambridge, and Grey, with Attendants.

...attend on us.
Never was monarch better feared and loved
Than is your Majesty. There’s not, I think, a subject
That sits in heart-grief and uneasiness
Under the sweet shade of your government.


...yet be merciful.
So may your Highness, and yet punish too.

...the late commissioners?
I one, my lord.
Your Highness bade me ask for it today.


...my royal sovereign.
KING HENRY, giving them papers

...Out of appearance?
I do confess my fault,
And do submit me to your Highness’ mercy.


...price of it.
For me, the gold of France did not seduce,
Although I did admit it as a motive
The sooner to effect what I intended;
But God be thankèd for prevention,
Which I in sufferance heartily will rejoice,
Beseeching God and you to pardon me.


...offenses.—Bear them hence.
They exit under guard.
