ACT IV IT

Scene I IT

Enter two Gentlemen, meeting one another

FIRST GENTLEMAN
You’re well met once again.

SECOND GENTLEMAN
So are you.

FIRST GENTLEMAN
You come to take your stand here and behold
The Lady Anne pass from her coronation?

SECOND GENTLEMAN
’Tis all my business. At our last encounter

The Duke of Buckingham came from his trial. [5]

FIRST GENTLEMAN
’Tis very true. But that time offered sorrow,
This, general joy.

SECOND GENTLEMAN
’Tis well. The citizens,
I am sure, have shown at full their royal minds −

As, let ’em have their rights, they are ever forward −
In celebration of this day with shows, [10]
Pageants, and sights of honour.

FIRST GENTLEMAN
Never greater?
