To Be there in Velvet..to Give 'em a Smile

With the news that King Richard III has been found, I pulled my volume of Four Great Historical Plays by Shakespeare for a few words.

This monologue was taken from Act I, Scene II (pg 327) with Richard was still known as "Duke of Gloucester":

...
Upon my life, she finds, although I cannot,
Myself to be a marvellous [sic] proper man.
I'll be at charges for a looking-glass,
And entertain some score or two of tailors,
To study fashions to adorn my body:
Since I am crept in favour with myself,
I will maintain it with some cost.
But first I'll turn yon fellow in his grave;
And then return lamenting to my love.
Shine out, fair sun, till I have bought a glass,
That I may see my shadow as I pass.
