CLARENCE

               The river hath thrice flowed, no ebb between, [125]
               And the old folk, time’s doting chronicles,
               Say it did so a little time before

               That our great-grandsire, Edward, sicked and died.


              WARWICK

               Speak lower, princes, for the king recovers.



              GLOUCESTER
               This apoplexy will certain be his end. [130]



              KING
               I pray you, take me up, and bear me hence
               Into some other chamber. [Softly, pray.]
                                                                     [They bear him to another place.]




                                                     Scene V         IT



              KING
               Let there be no noise made, my gentle friends,
               Unless some dull and favourable hand
               Will whisper music to my weary spirit.



              WARWICK
               Call for the music in the other room.




              KING
               Set me the crown upon my pillow here. [5]



              CLARENCE
               His eye is hollow, and he changes much.



              WARWICK
               Less noise, less noise!
