Is to become her husband and her father:
The which will I; not all so much for love
As for another secret close intent,

Clarence still breathes; Edward still lives and reigns:
When they are gone, then must I count my gains.

Explanation:

The poems describe how the main character intends to marry Warwick's youngest daughter after he attempted to murder her father and her husband. he then thinks about if it is okay, to deduct that it is the best to marry her to become her provider and guard. Nevertheless, her father and her husband are still alive. Leading us to know that he is anticipating himself before reality. Because they are still alive, therefore is a premature action.
