R3/ 4.4.368-373

By rooms

KING RICHARD III

I swear–

QUEEN ELIZABETH

By nothing for this is no oath:
The George, profaned, hath lost his holy honour;
The garter, blemish’d, pawn’d his knightly virtue;
The crown, usurp’d, disgraced his kingly glory.
if something thou wilt swear to be believed,
Swear then by something that thou hast not wrong’d.
