King Richard.Ay, what's o'clock?
Buckingham.I am thus bold.
To put your grace in mind of what you promised me.
King Richard. Well, but what is't o'clock?
Buckingham. Upon the stroke of ten.
King Richard. Well, let it strike.
Buckingham. Why, let it strike?
King Richard. Because that, like a Jack, thou keep'st the stroke
Betwixt thy begging and my meditation.
Shakespeare. King Richard III.
