Speeches (Lines) for John Morton in "History of Richard III"

Sir William Stanley. It is, and wants but nomination.

John Morton. To-morrow, then, I judge a happy day.

Duke of Buckingham. Who knows the lord protector's mind herein?
Who is most inward with the royal duke?

John Morton. Your grace, we think, should soonest know his mind.

Lord Hastings. I thank his grace, I know he loves me well;
But, for his purpose in the coronation.
I have not sounded him, nor he deliver'd
His gracious pleasure any way therein:
But you, my noble lords, may name the time;
And in the duke's behalf I'll give my voice,
Which, I presume, he'll take in gentle part.

John Morton. Now in good time, here comes the duke himself.

Humphrey of Lancaster - Duke of Gloucester. My lord of Ely!

John Morton. My lord?

Humphrey of Lancaster - Duke of Gloucester. When I was last in Holborn,
I saw good strawberries in your garden there
I do beseech you send for some of them.

John Morton. Marry, and will, my lord, with all my heart.

Sir William Stanley. We have not yet set down this day of triumph.
To-morrow, in mine opinion, is too sudden;
For I myself am not so well provided
As else I would be, were the day prolong'd.

John Morton. Where is my lord protector? I have sent for these
strawberries.
