SCENE III. London. Before the Tower.

Enter GLOUCESTER, with his Serving-men in blue coats

GLOUCESTER
I am come to survey the Tower this day:
Since Henry's death, I fear, there is conveyance.
Where be these warders, that they wait not here?
Open the gates; 'tis Gloucester that calls.

FIRST WARDER
Within Who's there that knocks so imperiously?

FIRST SERVING-MAN
It is the noble Duke of Gloucester.

SECOND WARDER
Within Whoe'er he be, you may not be let in.

FIRST SERVING-MAN
Villains, answer you so the lord protector?

FIRST WARDER
Within The Lord protect him! so we answer him:
We do no otherwise than we are will'd.
