Buck. He did, my gracious lord, begin that place;
Which, since, succeeding ages have re-edify'd.
Prince. Is it upon record? or else reported
Succefsively from age to age, he built it?

Buck. Upon record, my gracious lord.

Prince. But say, my lord, it were not register'd;
Methinks, the truth should live from age to age,
As 'twere retail'd to all posterity,

Even to the general all-ending day.

Glo. So wise so young, they say, do ne'er live long. [Aside.
Prince. What say you, uncle?

Glo. I say, without characters, fame lives long.
Thus, like the formal vice, Iniquity,

I moralize, two meanings in one word.

Prince. That Julius Caesar was a famous man;

With what his valour did enrich his wit,

His wit set down to make his valour live:
Death makes no conquest of this conqueror ;
For now he lives in fame, though not in life.—
I'll tell you what, my cousin Buckingham.
Buck. What, my gracious lord?

Prince. An if I live until I be a man,
I'll win our ancient right in France again,

Or die a soldier, as I liv'd a king.

[Aside.

Glo. Short summers lightly have a forward spring. [Aside.

Enter York, Hastings, and the Cardinal.

Buck. Now, in good time, here comes the duke of York.
