Gloucest.
Since the King's Pleasure is (if so it be)
That I remain excluded from his Councils;
I hope, I may, through Suffolk's Intercession,
Speak to the Queen.

Suff.
The Queen!—My Lord Protectour?

Gloucest.
Why not, the Queen?
I have no favour'd Whispers to impart,
You and the Duke your Friend, may hear my Business:
So, might the King.—Nay more; I give my Word,
You will be pleas'd with what I have to say.

Suff.
We ask not What.—Lord Buckingham, do You
Let the Queen know the Pleasure of his Highness.

Gloucest.
No!—Not my Pleasure:—But, my poor Request.
