Richard III (Duke of Gloucester)

Well, your imprisonment shall not be long;
Meantime, have patience.

Lord Hastings

With patience, noble lord, as prisoners must:
But I shall live, my lord, to give them thanks
That were the cause of my imprisonment.

Have patience, madam: there's no doubt his majesty
Will soon recover his accustom'd health.

False-boding woman, end thy frantic curse,
Lest to thy harm thou move our patience.

Richard III (Duke of Gloucester)

2435

Would you enforce me to a world of care?
Well, call them again. I am not made of stone,
But penetrable to your. kind entreats,
Albeit against my conscience and my soul.
[Re-enter BUCKINGHAM and the rest]
Cousin of Buckingham, and you sage, grave men,
Since you will buckle fortune on my back,
To bear her burthen, whether I will or no,
I must have patience to endure the load:
But if black scandal or foul-faced reproach
Attend the sequel of your imposition,
Your mere enforcement shall acquittance me
From all the impure blots and stains thereof;
For God he knows, and you may partly see,
How far I am from the desire thereof.

Richard III
[IV, 1]

Sir Robert Brakenbury

2482

Right well, dear madam. By your patience,
I may not suffer you to visit them;
The king hath straitly charged the contrary.
