GLOUCESTER

By heaven, brat, I'll plague ye for that word.

QUEEN MARGARET

Ay, thou wast born to be a plague to men.

GLOUCESTER

For God's sake, take away this captive scold.

PRINCE EDWARD

Nay, take away this scolding crookback rather.

KING EDWARD IV

Peace, wilful boy, or I will charm your tongue.

CLARENCE

Untutor'd lad, thou art too malapert.

PRINCE EDWARD

I know my duty; you are all undutiful:
Lascivious Edward, and thou perjured George,
And thou mis-shapen Dick, I tell ye all
I am your better, traitors as ye are:
And thou usurp'st my father's right and mine.

KING EDWARD IV

Take that, thou likeness of this railer here.
Stabs him

GLOUCESTER

Sprawl'st thou? take that, to end thy agony.
Stabs him

CLARENCE

And there's for twitting me with perjury.
Stabs him

QUEEN MARGARET

O, kill me too!

GLOUCESTER

Marry, and shall.
Offers to kill her
