SCENE II. Bury St. Edmund's. A room of state.

Enter certain Murderers, hastily

FIRST MURDERED
Run to my Lord of Suffolk; let him know
We have dispatch'd the duke, as he commanded.

SECOND MURDERER
O that it were to do! What have we done?
Didst ever hear a man so penitent?

Enter SUFFOLK

FIRST MURDERER
Here comes my lord.

SUFFOLK
Now, sirs, have you dispatch'd this thing?

FIRST MURDERER
Ay, my good lord, he's dead.

SUFFOLK
Why, that's well said. Go, get you to my house;
I will reward you for this venturous deed.
The king and all the peers are here at hand.
Have you laid fair the bed? Is all things well,
According as I gave directions?
