Which word in this excerpt from act i, scene i, of richard iii means “to listen”?
yea, richard, when i know; for i protest
as yet i do not: but, as i can learn,
he hearkens after prophecies and dreams;
and from the cross-row plucks the letter g.
and says a wizard told him that by g
his issue disinherited should be;
and, for my name of george begins with g,
it follows in his thought that i am he.
these, as i learn, and such like toys as these
have moved his highness to commit me now.
