The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Richard III by William Shakespeare: I am bound by oath, and therefore pardon me. Exit
Enter STANLEY
STANLEY. Let me but meet you, ladies, one hour hence,
And I'll salute your Grace of York as mother
And reverend looker-on of two fair queens.
[To ANNE] Come, madam, you must straight to
Westminster,
There to be crowned Richard's royal queen.
QUEEN ELIZABETH. Ah, cut my lace asunder
That my pent heart may have some scope to beat,
Or else I swoon with this dead-killing news!
 Richard III |
