The deep-revolving witty Buckingham
No more shall be the neighbor to my counsels:
Hath he so long held out with me untired,
And stops he now for breath? –well, be it so.
-Richard
Richard the Third Act IV, Scene ii, Line 42
Richard has decided that he will no longer trust Buckingham. I believe that Buckingham was an ardent supporter of Richard and helped him to gain the throne. But now, Richard has asked Buckingham to take care of getting rid of (killing) the princes in the tower and Buckingham is hesitant.
That’s an interesting statement of what Buckingham is to Richard: The deep-revolving, witty Buckingham. I’m not quite sure what to make of that. I wonder if it will start to crystallize for me if I dwell on it, as many of Will’s words do. Deep-revolving, witty.
And no
more shall be the neighbor to my counsels. That one’s easier to understand
and absolutely wonderful. A normal human would say, I’m not going to trust him
any longer. Will says he no more shall be neighbor to my counsels.
I
must be crazy because I just don’t get tired of this stuff. I only wish that I
could remember all the words because I’d love to be able to use this language
more in my daily interactions. I’m sure if the people around me that I live
with could hear me voice that thought, they would in unison cry ‘No Pete!
You’re odd enough already. You don’t need more of this language!’

While I think it's admirable you want to incorporate some of this language into your daily life, it is a bit difficult for the average person to understand.
