collectionHenry VI, Part 3

ACT 1

Scene 1

Alarum . Enter Richard Plantagenet , Duke of York ;
Edward ; Richard ; Norfolk ; Montague ; Warwick ; and
Soldiers , all wearing the white rose .

WARWICK

I wonder how the King escaped our hands .

YORK

While we pursued the horsemen of the north ,
He slyly stole away and left his men ;
Whereat the great lord of Northumberland ,
Whose warlike ears could never brook retreat ,
Cheered up the drooping army ; and himself ,
Lord Clifford , and Lord Stafford , all abreast ,
Charged our main battle’s front and , breaking in ,
Were by the swords of common soldiers slain .

EDWARD

Lord Stafford’s father , Duke of Buckingham ,
Is either slain or wounded dangerous .
I cleft his beaver with a downright blow .
That this is true , father , behold his blood .

He shows his bloody sword .

MONTAGUE

, to York , showing his sword

And , brother , here’s the Earl of Wiltshire’s blood ,
Whom I encountered as the battles joined .

RICHARD

, holding up a severed head

Speak thou for me , and tell them what I did .

[9]ACT 1. SC. 1

YORK

Richard hath best deserved of all my sons .
But is your Grace dead , my lord of Somerset ?

NORFOLK

Such hope have all the line of John of Gaunt !

RICHARD

Thus do I hope to shake King Henry’s head .

WARWICK

And so do I , victorious prince of York .
Before I see thee seated in that throne
Which now the house of Lancaster usurps ,
I vow by heaven these eyes shall never close .
This is the palace of the fearful king ,
And this the regal seat . Possess it , York ,
For this is thine and not King Henry’s heirs’ .

YORK

Assist me , then , sweet Warwick , and I will ,
For hither we have broken in by force .

NORFOLK

We’ll all assist you . He that flies shall die .

YORK

Thanks , gentle Norfolk . Stay by me , my lords . —
And soldiers , stay and lodge by me this night .

They go up onto a dais or platform .

WARWICK

And when the King comes , offer him no violence
Unless he seek to thrust you out perforce .

Soldiers exit or retire out of sight .

YORK

The Queen this day here holds her parliament ,
But little thinks we shall be of her council .
By words or blows , here let us win our right .

RICHARD

Armed as we are , let’s stay within this house .

WARWICK

The Bloody Parliament shall this be called
[11] ACT 1. SC. 1 Unless Plantagenet , Duke of York , be king
And bashful Henry deposed , whose cowardice
Hath made us bywords to our enemies .

YORK

Then leave me not , my lords ; be resolute .
I mean to take possession of my right .

WARWICK

Neither the King nor he that loves him best ,
The proudest he that holds up Lancaster ,
Dares stir a wing if Warwick shake his bells .
I’ll plant Plantagenet , root him up who dares .
Resolve thee , Richard ; claim the English crown .

York sits in the chair of state .

Flourish . Enter King Henry , Clifford , Northumberland ,
Westmorland , Exeter , and the rest , all wearing
the red rose .

KING HENRY

My lords , look where the sturdy rebel sits ,
Even in the chair of state ! Belike he means ,
Backed by the power of Warwick , that false peer ,
To aspire unto the crown and reign as king .
Earl of Northumberland , he slew thy father ,
And thine , Lord Clifford , and you both have vowed
revenge
On him , his sons , his favorites , and his friends .

NORTHUMBERLAND

If I be not , heavens be revenged on me !

CLIFFORD

The hope thereof makes Clifford mourn in steel .

WESTMORLAND

What , shall we suffer this ? Let’s pluck him down .
My heart for anger burns . I cannot brook it .

KING HENRY

Be patient , gentle Earl of Westmorland .

[13]ACT 1. SC. 1

CLIFFORD

Patience is for poltroons such as he .
He durst not sit there had your father lived .
My gracious lord , here in the Parliament
Let us assail the family of York .

NORTHUMBERLAND

Well hast thou spoken , cousin . Be it so .

KING HENRY

Ah , know you not the city favors them ,
And they have troops of soldiers at their beck ?

EXETER

But when the Duke is slain , they’ll quickly fly .

KING HENRY

Far be the thought of this from Henry’s heart ,
To make a shambles of the Parliament House !
Cousin of Exeter , frowns , words , and threats
Shall be the war that Henry means to use . —
Thou factious Duke of York , descend my throne
And kneel for grace and mercy at my feet .
I am thy sovereign .

YORK

I am thine .

EXETER

For shame , come down . He made thee Duke of
York .

YORK

It was my inheritance , as the earldom was .

EXETER

Thy father was a traitor to the crown .

WARWICK

Exeter , thou art a traitor to the crown
In following this usurping Henry .

CLIFFORD

Whom should he follow but his natural king ?

WARWICK

True , Clifford , that’s Richard , Duke of York .

[15]ACT 1. SC. 1

KING HENRY

, to York

And shall I stand , and thou sit in my throne ?

YORK

It must and shall be so . Content thyself .

WARWICK

, to King Henry

Be Duke of Lancaster . Let him be king .

WESTMORLAND

He is both king and Duke of Lancaster ,
And that the lord of Westmorland shall maintain .

WARWICK

And Warwick shall disprove it . You forget
That we are those which chased you from the field
And slew your fathers and , with colors spread ,
Marched through the city to the palace gates .

NORTHUMBERLAND

Yes , Warwick , I remember it to my grief ;
And by his soul , thou and thy house shall rue it .

WESTMORLAND

Plantagenet , of thee and these thy sons ,
Thy kinsmen , and thy friends , I’ll have more lives
Than drops of blood were in my father’s veins .

CLIFFORD

Urge it no more , lest that , instead of words ,
I send thee , Warwick , such a messenger
As shall revenge his death before I stir .

WARWICK

Poor Clifford , how I scorn his worthless threats !

YORK

Will you we show our title to the crown ?
If not , our swords shall plead it in the field .

KING HENRY

What title hast thou , traitor , to the crown ?
Thy father was as thou art , Duke of York ;
Thy grandfather , Roger Mortimer , Earl of March .
I am the son of Henry the Fifth ,
[17] ACT 1. SC. 1 Who made the Dauphin and the French to stoop
And seized upon their towns and provinces .

WARWICK

Talk not of France , sith thou hast lost it all .

KING HENRY

The Lord Protector lost it and not I .
When I was crowned , I was but nine months old .

RICHARD

You are old enough now , and yet , methinks , you
lose . —
Father , tear the crown from the usurper’s head .

EDWARD

Sweet father , do so . Set it on your head .

MONTAGUE

, to York

Good brother , as thou lov’st and honorest arms ,
Let’s fight it out and not stand caviling thus .

RICHARD

Sound drums and trumpets , and the King will fly .

YORK

Sons , peace !

KING HENRY

Peace thou , and give King Henry leave to speak !

WARWICK

Plantagenet shall speak first . Hear him , lords ,
And be you silent and attentive too ,
For he that interrupts him shall not live .

KING HENRY

Think’st thou that I will leave my kingly throne ,
Wherein my grandsire and my father sat ?
No . First shall war unpeople this my realm ;
Ay , and their colors , often borne in France ,
And now in England to our heart’s great sorrow ,
Shall be my winding-sheet . Why faint you , lords ?
My title’s good , and better far than his .

WARWICK

Prove it , Henry , and thou shalt be king .

[19]ACT 1. SC. 1

KING HENRY

Henry the Fourth by conquest got the crown .

YORK

’Twas by rebellion against his king .

KING HENRY

, aside

I know not what to say ; my title’s weak . —
Tell me , may not a king adopt an heir ?

YORK

What then ?

KING HENRY

An if he may , then am I lawful king ;
For Richard , in the view of many lords ,
Resigned the crown to Henry the Fourth ,
Whose heir my father was , and I am his .

YORK

He rose against him , being his sovereign ,
And made him to resign his crown perforce .

WARWICK

Suppose , my lords , he did it unconstrained ,
Think you ’twere prejudicial to his crown ?

EXETER

No , for he could not so resign his crown
But that the next heir should succeed and reign .

KING HENRY

Art thou against us , Duke of Exeter ?

EXETER

His is the right , and therefore pardon me .

YORK

Why whisper you , my lords , and answer not ?

EXETER

My conscience tells me he is lawful king .

KING HENRY

, aside

All will revolt from me and turn to him .

NORTHUMBERLAND

, to York

Plantagenet , for all the claim thou lay’st ,
Think not that Henry shall be so deposed .

[21]ACT 1. SC. 1

WARWICK

Deposed he shall be , in despite of all .

NORTHUMBERLAND

Thou art deceived . ’Tis not thy southern power
Of Essex , Norfolk , Suffolk , nor of Kent ,
Which makes thee thus presumptuous and proud ,
Can set the Duke up in despite of me .

CLIFFORD

King Henry , be thy title right or wrong ,
Lord Clifford vows to fight in thy defense .
May that ground gape and swallow me alive
Where I shall kneel to him that slew my father .

KING HENRY

O Clifford , how thy words revive my heart !

YORK

Henry of Lancaster , resign thy crown . —
What mutter you , or what conspire you , lords ?

WARWICK

, to King Henry

Do right unto this princely Duke of York ,
Or I will fill the house with armèd men ,
And over the chair of state , where now he sits ,
Write up his title with usurping blood .

He stamps with his foot ,

and the Soldiers show themselves .

KING HENRY

My lord of Warwick , hear but one word :
Let me for this my lifetime reign as king .

YORK

Confirm the crown to me and to mine heirs ,
And thou shalt reign in quiet while thou liv’st .

KING HENRY

I am content . Richard Plantagenet ,
Enjoy the kingdom after my decease .

CLIFFORD

What wrong is this unto the Prince your son !

[23]ACT 1. SC. 1

WARWICK

What good is this to England and himself !

WESTMORLAND

Base , fearful , and despairing Henry !

CLIFFORD

How hast thou injured both thyself and us !

WESTMORLAND

I cannot stay to hear these articles .

NORTHUMBERLAND

Nor I .

CLIFFORD

Come , cousin , let us tell the Queen these news .

WESTMORLAND

Farewell , faint-hearted and degenerate king ,
In whose cold blood no spark of honor bides .

NORTHUMBERLAND

Be thou a prey unto the house of York ,
And die in bands for this unmanly deed .

CLIFFORD

In dreadful war mayst thou be overcome ,
Or live in peace abandoned and despised !

Westmorland , Northumberland , Clifford ,
and their Soldiers exit .

WARWICK

Turn this way , Henry , and regard them not .

EXETER

They seek revenge and therefore will not yield .

KING HENRY

Ah , Exeter !

WARWICK

Why should you sigh , my lord ?

KING HENRY

Not for myself , Lord Warwick , but my son ,
Whom I unnaturally shall disinherit .
But be it as it may .

( To York . )

I here entail
The crown to thee and to thine heirs forever ,
Conditionally , that here thou take an oath
To cease this civil war and , whilst I live ,
[25] ACT 1. SC. 1 To honor me as thy king and sovereign ,
And neither by treason nor hostility
To seek to put me down and reign thyself .

YORK

This oath I willingly take and will perform .

WARWICK

Long live King Henry ! Plantagenet , embrace him .

York stands , and King Henry ascends the dais .

KING HENRY

, to York

And long live thou and these thy forward sons !

They embrace .

YORK

Now York and Lancaster are reconciled .

EXETER

Accursed be he that seeks to make them foes .

Sennet . Here they come down .

YORK

, to King Henry

Farewell , my gracious lord . I’ll to my castle .

WARWICK

And I’ll keep London with my soldiers .

NORFOLK

And I to Norfolk with my followers .

MONTAGUE

And I unto the sea , from whence I came .

York , Edward , Richard , Warwick , Norfolk ,
Montague , and their Soldiers exit .

KING HENRY

And I with grief and sorrow to the court .

Enter Queen Margaret , with Prince Edward .

EXETER

Here comes the Queen , whose looks bewray her
anger .
I’ll steal away .

KING HENRY

Exeter , so will I .

They begin to exit .

[27]ACT 1. SC. 1

QUEEN MARGARET

Nay , go not from me . I will follow thee .

KING HENRY

Be patient , gentle queen , and I will stay .

QUEEN MARGARET

Who can be patient in such extremes ?
Ah , wretched man , would I had died a maid
And never seen thee , never borne thee son ,
Seeing thou hast proved so unnatural a father .
Hath he deserved to lose his birthright thus ?
Hadst thou but loved him half so well as I ,
Or felt that pain which I did for him once ,
Or nourished him as I did with my blood ,
Thou wouldst have left thy dearest heart-blood
there ,
Rather than have made that savage duke thine heir
And disinherited thine only son .

PRINCE EDWARD

Father , you cannot disinherit me .
If you be king , why should not I succeed ?

KING HENRY

Pardon me , Margaret . — Pardon me , sweet son .
The Earl of Warwick and the Duke enforced me .

QUEEN MARGARET

Enforced thee ? Art thou king and wilt be forced ?
I shame to hear thee speak . Ah , timorous wretch ,
Thou hast undone thyself , thy son , and me ,
And giv’n unto the house of York such head
As thou shalt reign but by their sufferance !
To entail him and his heirs unto the crown ,
What is it but to make thy sepulcher
And creep into it far before thy time ?
Warwick is Chancellor and the lord of Callice ;
Stern Falconbridge commands the Narrow Seas ;
The Duke is made Protector of the realm ;
And yet shalt thou be safe ? Such safety finds
[29] ACT 1. SC. 1 The trembling lamb environèd with wolves .
Had I been there , which am a silly woman ,
The soldiers should have tossed me on their pikes
Before I would have granted to that act .
But thou preferr’st thy life before thine honor .
And seeing thou dost , I here divorce myself
Both from thy table , Henry , and thy bed ,
Until that act of Parliament be repealed
Whereby my son is disinherited .
The northern lords that have forsworn thy colors
Will follow mine if once they see them spread ;
And spread they shall be , to thy foul disgrace
And utter ruin of the house of York .
Thus do I leave thee . — Come , son , let’s away .
Our army is ready . Come , we’ll after them .

KING HENRY

Stay , gentle Margaret , and hear me speak .

QUEEN MARGARET

Thou hast spoke too much already . Get thee gone .

KING HENRY

Gentle son Edward , thou wilt stay with me ?

QUEEN MARGARET

Ay , to be murdered by his enemies !

PRINCE EDWARD

When I return with victory from the field ,
I’ll see your Grace . Till then , I’ll follow her .

QUEEN MARGARET

Come , son , away . We may not linger thus .

Queen Margaret and Prince Edward exit .

KING HENRY

Poor queen ! How love to me and to her son
Hath made her break out into terms of rage !
Revenged may she be on that hateful duke ,
Whose haughty spirit , wingèd with desire ,
Will cost my crown , and like an empty eagle
Tire on the flesh of me and of my son .
[31] ACT 1. SC. 2 The loss of those three lords torments my heart .
I’ll write unto them and entreat them fair .
Come , cousin , you shall be the messenger .

EXETER

And I , I hope , shall reconcile them all .

Flourish . They exit .

Scene 2

Enter Richard , Edward , and Montague ,
all wearing the white rose .

RICHARD

Brother , though I be youngest , give me leave .

EDWARD

No , I can better play the orator .

MONTAGUE

But I have reasons strong and forcible .

Enter the Duke of York .

YORK

Why , how now , sons and brother , at a strife ?
What is your quarrel ? How began it first ?

EDWARD

No quarrel , but a slight contention .

YORK

About what ?

RICHARD

About that which concerns your Grace and us :
The crown of England , father , which is yours .

YORK

Mine , boy ? Not till King Henry be dead .

RICHARD

Your right depends not on his life or death .

EDWARD

Now you are heir ; therefore enjoy it now .
[33] ACT 1. SC. 2 By giving the house of Lancaster leave to breathe ,
It will outrun you , father , in the end .

YORK

I took an oath that he should quietly reign .

EDWARD

But for a kingdom any oath may be broken .
I would break a thousand oaths to reign one year .

RICHARD

No , God forbid your Grace should be forsworn .

YORK

I shall be , if I claim by open war .

RICHARD

I’ll prove the contrary , if you’ll hear me speak .

YORK

Thou canst not , son ; it is impossible .

RICHARD

An oath is of no moment , being not took
Before a true and lawful magistrate
That hath authority over him that swears .
Henry had none , but did usurp the place .
Then , seeing ’twas he that made you to depose ,
Your oath , my lord , is vain and frivolous .
Therefore , to arms ! And , father , do but think
How sweet a thing it is to wear a crown ,
Within whose circuit is Elysium
And all that poets feign of bliss and joy .
Why do we linger thus ? I cannot rest
Until the white rose that I wear be dyed
Even in the lukewarm blood of Henry’s heart .

YORK

Richard , enough . I will be king or die . —
Brother , thou shalt to London presently ,
And whet on Warwick to this enterprise . —
Thou , Richard , shalt to the Duke of Norfolk
And tell him privily of our intent . —
You , Edward , shall unto my Lord Cobham ,
[35] ACT 1. SC. 2 With whom the Kentishmen will willingly rise ;
In them I trust , for they are soldiers
Witty , courteous , liberal , full of spirit .
While you are thus employed , what resteth more
But that I seek occasion how to rise ,
And yet the King not privy to my drift ,
Nor any of the house of Lancaster .

Enter a Messenger .

But stay , what news ? Why com’st thou in such post ?

MESSENGER

The Queen with all the northern earls and lords
Intend here to besiege you in your castle .
She is hard by with twenty thousand men .
And therefore fortify your hold , my lord .

He exits .

YORK

Ay , with my sword . What , think’st thou that we fear
them ? —
Edward and Richard , you shall stay with me ;
My brother Montague shall post to London .
Let noble Warwick , Cobham , and the rest ,
Whom we have left Protectors of the King ,
With powerful policy strengthen themselves
And trust not simple Henry nor his oaths .

MONTAGUE

Brother , I go . I’ll win them , fear it not .
And thus most humbly I do take my leave .

Montague exits .

Enter Sir John Mortimer , and his brother ,
Sir Hugh Mortimer .

YORK

Sir John and Sir Hugh Mortimer , mine uncles ,
You are come to Sandal in a happy hour .
The army of the Queen mean to besiege us .

[37]ACT 1. SC. 3

SIR JOHN

She shall not need ; we’ll meet her in the field .

YORK

What , with five thousand men ?

RICHARD

Ay , with five hundred , father , for a need .
A woman’s general ; what should we fear ?

A march afar off .

EDWARD

I hear their drums . Let’s set our men in order ,
And issue forth and bid them battle straight .

YORK

Five men to twenty : though the odds be great ,
I doubt not , uncle , of our victory .
Many a battle have I won in France
Whenas the enemy hath been ten to one .
Why should I not now have the like success ?

Alarum . They exit .

Scene 3

Enter Rutland and his Tutor .

RUTLAND

Ah , whither shall I fly to scape their hands ?

Enter Clifford with Soldiers , all wearing the red rose .

Ah , tutor , look where bloody Clifford comes .

CLIFFORD

Chaplain , away . Thy priesthood saves thy life .
As for the brat of this accursèd duke ,
Whose father slew my father , he shall die .

TUTOR

And I , my lord , will bear him company .

CLIFFORD

Soldiers , away with him .

[39]ACT 1. SC. 3

TUTOR

Ah , Clifford , murder not this innocent child ,
Lest thou be hated both of God and man .

He exits , dragged off by Soldiers .

CLIFFORD

, approaching Rutland

How now ? Is he dead already ? Or is it fear
That makes him close his eyes ? I’ll open them .

RUTLAND

So looks the pent-up lion o’er the wretch
That trembles under his devouring paws ;
And so he walks , insulting o’er his prey ;
And so he comes to rend his limbs asunder .
Ah , gentle Clifford , kill me with thy sword
And not with such a cruel threat’ning look .
Sweet Clifford , hear me speak before I die .
I am too mean a subject for thy wrath .
Be thou revenged on men , and let me live .

CLIFFORD

In vain thou speak’st , poor boy . My father’s blood
Hath stopped the passage where thy words should
enter .

RUTLAND

Then let my father’s blood open it again ;
He is a man and , Clifford , cope with him .

CLIFFORD

Had I thy brethren here , their lives and thine
Were not revenge sufficient for me .
No , if I digged up thy forefathers’ graves
And hung their rotten coffins up in chains ,
It could not slake mine ire nor ease my heart .
The sight of any of the house of York
Is as a fury to torment my soul ,
And till I root out their accursèd line
And leave not one alive , I live in hell .
Therefore —

He raises his rapier .

[41]ACT 1. SC. 4

RUTLAND

O , let me pray before I take my death !
To thee I pray : sweet Clifford , pity me !

CLIFFORD

Such pity as my rapier’s point affords .

RUTLAND

I never did thee harm . Why wilt thou slay me ?

CLIFFORD

Thy father hath .

RUTLAND

But ’twas ere I was born .
Thou hast one son ; for his sake pity me ,
Lest in revenge thereof , sith God is just ,
He be as miserably slain as I .
Ah , let me live in prison all my days ,
And when I give occasion of offense
Then let me die , for now thou hast no cause .

CLIFFORD

No cause ? Thy father slew my father ; therefore die .

He stabs Rutland .

RUTLAND

Di faciant laudis summa sit ista tuae !

He dies .

CLIFFORD

Plantagenet , I come , Plantagenet !
And this thy son’s blood , cleaving to my blade ,
Shall rust upon my weapon till thy blood ,
Congealed with this , do make me wipe off both .

He exits , with Soldiers carrying off Rutland’s body .

Scene 4

Alarum . Enter Richard , Duke of York , wearing the
white rose .

YORK

The army of the Queen hath got the field .
My uncles both are slain in rescuing me ;
[43] ACT 1. SC. 4 And all my followers to the eager foe
Turn back and fly like ships before the wind ,
Or lambs pursued by hunger-starvèd wolves .
My sons , God knows what hath bechancèd them ;
But this I know : they have demeaned themselves
Like men borne to renown by life or death .
Three times did Richard make a lane to me
And thrice cried ‘Courage , father , fight it out !’
And full as oft came Edward to my side ,
With purple falchion painted to the hilt
In blood of those that had encountered him ;
And when the hardiest warriors did retire ,
Richard cried ‘Charge , and give no foot of ground !’
And cried ‘A crown or else a glorious tomb ;
A scepter or an earthly sepulcher !’
With this we charged again ; but , out alas ,
We budged again , as I have seen a swan
With bootless labor swim against the tide
And spend her strength with over-matching waves .

A short alarum within .

Ah , hark , the fatal followers do pursue ,
And I am faint and cannot fly their fury ;
And were I strong , I would not shun their fury .
The sands are numbered that makes up my life .
Here must I stay , and here my life must end .

Enter Queen Margaret , Clifford , Northumberland ,
the young Prince Edward , and Soldiers ,
all wearing the red rose .

Come , bloody Clifford , rough Northumberland ,
I dare your quenchless fury to more rage .
I am your butt , and I abide your shot .

NORTHUMBERLAND

Yield to our mercy , proud Plantagenet .

CLIFFORD

Ay , to such mercy as his ruthless arm
[45] ACT 1. SC. 4 With downright payment showed unto my father .
Now Phaëton hath tumbled from his car
And made an evening at the noontide prick .

YORK

My ashes , as the Phoenix’ , may bring forth
A bird that will revenge upon you all ;
And in that hope I throw mine eyes to heaven ,
Scorning whate’er you can afflict me with .
Why come you not ? What , multitudes , and fear ?

CLIFFORD

So cowards fight when they can fly no further ;
So doves do peck the falcon’s piercing talons ;
So desperate thieves , all hopeless of their lives ,
Breathe out invectives ’gainst the officers .

YORK

O Clifford , but bethink thee once again
And in thy thought o’errun my former time ;
And , if thou canst for blushing , view this face
And bite thy tongue that slanders him with cowardice
Whose frown hath made thee faint and fly ere this .

CLIFFORD

I will not bandy with thee word for word ,
But buckler with thee blows twice two for one .

QUEEN MARGARET

Hold , valiant Clifford , for a thousand causes
I would prolong a while the traitor’s life . —
Wrath makes him deaf ; speak thou , Northumberland .

NORTHUMBERLAND

Hold , Clifford , do not honor him so much
To prick thy finger , though to wound his heart .
What valor were it when a cur doth grin
For one to thrust his hand between his teeth ,
When he might spurn him with his foot away ?
It is war’s prize to take all vantages ,
And ten to one is no impeach of valor .

They attack York .

[47]ACT 1. SC. 4

CLIFFORD

Ay , ay , so strives the woodcock with the gin .

NORTHUMBERLAND

So doth the coney struggle in the net .

YORK

So triumph thieves upon their conquered booty ;
So true men yield with robbers , so o’ermatched .

York is overcome .

NORTHUMBERLAND

, to Queen Margaret

What would your Grace have done unto him now ?

QUEEN MARGARET

Brave warriors , Clifford and Northumberland ,
Come , make him stand upon this molehill here
That raught at mountains with outstretchèd arms ,
Yet parted but the shadow with his hand .

They place York on a small prominence .

What , was it you that would be England’s king ?
Was ’t you that reveled in our parliament
And made a preachment of your high descent ?
Where are your mess of sons to back you now ,
The wanton Edward and the lusty George ?
And where’s that valiant crookback prodigy ,
Dickie , your boy , that with his grumbling voice
Was wont to cheer his dad in mutinies ?
Or , with the rest , where is your darling Rutland ?
Look , York , I stained this napkin with the blood
That valiant Clifford with his rapier’s point
Made issue from the bosom of the boy ;
And if thine eyes can water for his death ,
I give thee this to dry thy cheeks withal .

She gives him a bloody cloth .

Alas , poor York , but that I hate thee deadly
I should lament thy miserable state .
I prithee grieve to make me merry , York .
What , hath thy fiery heart so parched thine entrails
That not a tear can fall for Rutland’s death ?
[49] ACT 1. SC. 4 Why art thou patient , man ? Thou shouldst be mad ;
And I , to make thee mad , do mock thee thus .
Stamp , rave , and fret , that I may sing and dance .
Thou would’st be fee’d , I see , to make me sport . —
York cannot speak unless he wear a crown .
A crown for York !

She is handed a paper crown .

And , lords , bow low to him .
Hold you his hands whilst I do set it on .

She puts the crown on York’s head .

Ay , marry , sir , now looks he like a king .
Ay , this is he that took King Henry’s chair ,
And this is he was his adopted heir .
But how is it that great Plantagenet
Is crowned so soon and broke his solemn oath ? —
As I bethink me , you should not be king
Till our King Henry had shook hands with Death .
And will you pale your head in Henry’s glory
And rob his temples of the diadem
Now , in his life , against your holy oath ?
O , ’tis a fault too too unpardonable .
Off with the crown and , with the crown , his head ;
And whilst we breathe , take time to do him dead .

CLIFFORD

That is my office , for my father’s sake .

QUEEN MARGARET

Nay , stay , let’s hear the orisons he makes .

YORK

She-wolf of France , but worse than wolves of
France ,
Whose tongue more poisons than the adder’s tooth :
How ill-beseeming is it in thy sex
To triumph like an Amazonian trull
Upon their woes whom Fortune captivates .
But that thy face is vizard-like , unchanging ,
Made impudent with use of evil deeds ,
I would assay , proud queen , to make thee blush .
[51] ACT 1. SC. 4 To tell thee whence thou cam’st , of whom derived ,
Were shame enough to shame thee , wert thou not
shameless .
Thy father bears the type of King of Naples ,
Of both the Sicils , and Jerusalem ,
Yet not so wealthy as an English yeoman .
Hath that poor monarch taught thee to insult ?
It needs not , nor it boots thee not , proud queen ,
Unless the adage must be verified
That beggars mounted run their horse to death .
’Tis beauty that doth oft make women proud ,
But God He knows thy share thereof is small .
’Tis virtue that doth make them most admired ;
The contrary doth make thee wondered at .
’Tis government that makes them seem divine ;
The want thereof makes thee abominable .
Thou art as opposite to every good
As the Antipodes are unto us
Or as the south to the Septentrion .
O , tiger’s heart wrapped in a woman’s hide ,
How couldst thou drain the lifeblood of the child
To bid the father wipe his eyes withal ,
And yet be seen to bear a woman’s face ?
Women are soft , mild , pitiful , and flexible ;
Thou , stern , obdurate , flinty , rough , remorseless .
Bidd’st thou me rage ? Why , now thou hast thy wish .
Wouldst have me weep ? Why , now thou hast thy will ;
For raging wind blows up incessant showers ,
And when the rage allays , the rain begins .
These tears are my sweet Rutland’s obsequies ,
And every drop cries vengeance for his death
’Gainst thee , fell Clifford , and thee , false
Frenchwoman !

NORTHUMBERLAND

, aside

Beshrew me , but his passions moves me so
That hardly can I check my eyes from tears .

[53]ACT 1. SC. 4

YORK

That face of his the hungry cannibals
Would not have touched , would not have stained
with blood ;
But you are more inhuman , more inexorable ,
O , ten times more than tigers of Hyrcania .
See , ruthless queen , a hapless father’s tears .
This cloth thou dipped’st in blood of my sweet boy ,
And I with tears do wash the blood away .

He hands her the cloth .

Keep thou the napkin and go boast of this ;
And if thou tell’st the heavy story right ,
Upon my soul , the hearers will shed tears .
Yea , even my foes will shed fast-falling tears
And say ‘Alas , it was a piteous deed .’

He hands her the paper crown .

There , take the crown and , with the crown , my
curse ,
And in thy need such comfort come to thee
As now I reap at thy too cruel hand . —
Hard-hearted Clifford , take me from the world ,
My soul to heaven , my blood upon your heads .

NORTHUMBERLAND

Had he been slaughterman to all my kin ,
I should not for my life but weep with him
To see how inly sorrow gripes his soul .

QUEEN MARGARET

What , weeping ripe , my Lord Northumberland ?
Think but upon the wrong he did us all ,
And that will quickly dry thy melting tears .

CLIFFORD

, stabbing York twice

Here’s for my oath ; here’s for my father’s death !

QUEEN MARGARET

, stabbing York

And here’s to right our gentle-hearted king .

YORK

Open thy gate of mercy , gracious God .
[55] ACT 1. SC. 4 My soul flies through these wounds to seek out Thee .

He dies .

QUEEN MARGARET

Off with his head , and set it on York gates ,
So York may overlook the town of York .

Flourish . They exit , Soldiers carrying York’s body .

ACT 2

Scene 1

A march . Enter Edward , Richard , and their power ,
all wearing the white rose .

EDWARD

I wonder how our princely father scaped ,
Or whether he be scaped away or no
From Clifford’s and Northumberland’s pursuit .
Had he been ta’en , we should have heard the news ;
Had he been slain , we should have heard the news ;
Or had he scaped , methinks we should have heard
The happy tidings of his good escape .
How fares my brother ? Why is he so sad ?

RICHARD

I cannot joy until I be resolved
Where our right valiant father is become .
I saw him in the battle range about
And watched him how he singled Clifford forth .
Methought he bore him in the thickest troop
As doth a lion in a herd of neat ,
Or as a bear encompassed round with dogs ,
Who having pinched a few and made them cry ,
The rest stand all aloof and bark at him ;
So fared our father with his enemies ;
So fled his enemies my warlike father .
Methinks ’tis prize enough to be his son .
See how the morning opes her golden gates
[61] ACT 2. SC. 1 And takes her farewell of the glorious sun .
How well resembles it the prime of youth ,
Trimmed like a younker , prancing to his love !

EDWARD

Dazzle mine eyes , or do I see three suns ?

RICHARD

Three glorious suns , each one a perfect sun ,
Not separated with the racking clouds
But severed in a pale clear-shining sky .
See , see , they join , embrace , and seem to kiss ,
As if they vowed some league inviolable .
Now are they but one lamp , one light , one sun ;
In this , the heaven figures some event .

EDWARD

’Tis wondrous strange , the like yet never heard of .
I think it cites us , brother , to the field ,
That we , the sons of brave Plantagenet ,
Each one already blazing by our meeds ,
Should notwithstanding join our lights together
And overshine the earth , as this the world .
Whate’er it bodes , henceforward will I bear
Upon my target three fair shining suns .

RICHARD

Nay , bear three daughters : by your leave I speak it ,
You love the breeder better than the male .

Enter a Messenger , blowing .

But what art thou whose heavy looks foretell
Some dreadful story hanging on thy tongue ?

MESSENGER

Ah , one that was a woeful looker-on
Whenas the noble Duke of York was slain ,
Your princely father and my loving lord .

EDWARD

O , speak no more , for I have heard too much !

[63]

RICHARD

Say how he died , for I will hear it all .

MESSENGER

Environèd he was with many foes ,
And stood against them , as the hope of Troy
Against the Greeks that would have entered Troy .
But Hercules himself must yield to odds ;
And many strokes , though with a little axe ,
Hews down and fells the hardest-timbered oak .
By many hands your father was subdued ,
But only slaughtered by the ireful arm
Of unrelenting Clifford and the Queen ,
Who crowned the gracious duke in high despite ,
Laughed in his face ; and when with grief he wept ,
The ruthless queen gave him to dry his cheeks
A napkin steepèd in the harmless blood
Of sweet young Rutland , by rough Clifford slain .
And after many scorns , many foul taunts ,
They took his head and on the gates of York
They set the same , and there it doth remain ,
The saddest spectacle that e’er I viewed .

He exits .

EDWARD

Sweet Duke of York , our prop to lean upon ,
Now thou art gone , we have no staff , no stay .
O Clifford , boist’rous Clifford , thou hast slain
The flower of Europe for his chivalry ;
And treacherously hast thou vanquished him ,
For hand to hand he would have vanquished thee .
Now my soul’s palace is become a prison ;
Ah , would she break from hence , that this my body
Might in the ground be closèd up in rest ,
For never henceforth shall I joy again .
Never , O never , shall I see more joy !

He weeps .

RICHARD

I cannot weep , for all my body’s moisture
Scarce serves to quench my furnace-burning heart ;
[65] ACT 2. SC. 1 Nor can my tongue unload my heart’s great burden ,
For selfsame wind that I should speak withal
Is kindling coals that fires all my breast
And burns me up with flames that tears would
quench .
To weep is to make less the depth of grief :
Tears , then , for babes ; blows and revenge for me .
Richard , I bear thy name . I’ll venge thy death
Or die renownèd by attempting it .

EDWARD

His name that valiant duke hath left with thee ;
His dukedom and his chair with me is left .

RICHARD

Nay , if thou be that princely eagle’s bird ,
Show thy descent by gazing ’gainst the sun ;
For ‘chair’ and ‘dukedom ,’ ‘throne’ and
‘kingdom’ say ;
Either that is thine or else thou wert not his .

March . Enter Warwick , Marquess Montague , and their
army , all wearing the white rose .

WARWICK

How now , fair lords ? What fare , what news abroad ?

RICHARD

Great lord of Warwick , if we should recount
Our baleful news , and at each word’s deliverance
Stab poniards in our flesh till all were told ,
The words would add more anguish than the wounds .
O valiant lord , the Duke of York is slain .

EDWARD

O Warwick , Warwick , that Plantagenet
Which held thee dearly as his soul’s redemption
Is by the stern Lord Clifford done to death .

WARWICK

Ten days ago I drowned these news in tears .
And now to add more measure to your woes ,
[67] ACT 2. SC. 1 I come to tell you things sith then befall’n .
After the bloody fray at Wakefield fought ,
Where your brave father breathed his latest gasp ,
Tidings , as swiftly as the posts could run ,
Were brought me of your loss and his depart .
I , then in London , keeper of the King ,
Mustered my soldiers , gathered flocks of friends ,
Marched toward Saint Albans to intercept the
Queen ,
Bearing the King in my behalf along ;
For by my scouts I was advertisèd
That she was coming with a full intent
To dash our late decree in Parliament
Touching King Henry’s oath and your succession .
Short tale to make , we at Saint Albans met ,
Our battles joined , and both sides fiercely fought .
But whether ’twas the coldness of the King ,
Who looked full gently on his warlike queen ,
That robbed my soldiers of their heated spleen ,
Or whether ’twas report of her success
Or more than common fear of Clifford’s rigor ,
Who thunders to his captives blood and death ,
I cannot judge ; but to conclude with truth ,
Their weapons like to lightning came and went ;
Our soldiers’ , like the night owl’s lazy flight
Or like an idle thresher with a flail ,
Fell gently down , as if they struck their friends .
I cheered them up with justice of our cause ,
With promise of high pay and great rewards ,
But all in vain ; they had no heart to fight ,
And we , in them , no hope to win the day ,
So that we fled : the King unto the Queen ;
Lord George your brother , Norfolk , and myself
In haste , posthaste , are come to join with you ;
For in the Marches here we heard you were ,
Making another head to fight again .

[69]ACT 2. SC. 1

EDWARD

Where is the Duke of Norfolk , gentle Warwick ?
And when came George from Burgundy to England ?

WARWICK

Some six miles off the Duke is with the soldiers ,
And , for your brother , he was lately sent
From your kind aunt , Duchess of Burgundy ,
With aid of soldiers to this needful war .

RICHARD

’Twas odds , belike , when valiant Warwick fled .
Oft have I heard his praises in pursuit ,
But ne’er till now his scandal of retire .

WARWICK

Nor now my scandal , Richard , dost thou hear ?
For thou shalt know this strong right hand of mine
Can pluck the diadem from faint Henry’s head
And wring the awful scepter from his fist ,
Were he as famous and as bold in war
As he is famed for mildness , peace , and prayer .

RICHARD

I know it well , Lord Warwick ; blame me not .
’Tis love I bear thy glories make me speak .
But in this troublous time , what’s to be done ?
Shall we go throw away our coats of steel
And wrap our bodies in black mourning gowns ,
Numb’ring our Ave Marys with our beads ?
Or shall we on the helmets of our foes
Tell our devotion with revengeful arms ?
If for the last , say ‘Ay ,’ and to it , lords .

WARWICK

Why , therefore Warwick came to seek you out ,
And therefore comes my brother Montague .
Attend me , lords : the proud insulting queen ,
With Clifford and the haught Northumberland
And of their feather many more proud birds ,
Have wrought the easy-melting king like wax .
[71] ACT 2. SC. 1 He swore consent to your succession ,
His oath enrollèd in the Parliament .
And now to London all the crew are gone
To frustrate both his oath and what beside
May make against the house of Lancaster .
Their power , I think , is thirty thousand strong .
Now , if the help of Norfolk and myself ,
With all the friends that thou , brave Earl of March ,
Amongst the loving Welshmen canst procure ,
Will but amount to five and twenty thousand ,
Why , via , to London will we march ,
And once again bestride our foaming steeds ,
And once again cry ‘Charge !’ upon our foes ,
But never once again turn back and fly .

RICHARD

Ay , now methinks I hear great Warwick speak .
Ne’er may he live to see a sunshine day
That cries ‘Retire !’ if Warwick bid him stay .

EDWARD

Lord Warwick , on thy shoulder will I lean ,
And when thou fail’st — as God forbid the hour ! —
Must Edward fall , which peril heaven forfend .

WARWICK

No longer Earl of March , but Duke of York ;
The next degree is England’s royal throne :
For King of England shalt thou be proclaimed
In every borough as we pass along ,
And he that throws not up his cap for joy
Shall for the fault make forfeit of his head .
King Edward , valiant Richard , Montague ,
Stay we no longer dreaming of renown ,
But sound the trumpets and about our task .

RICHARD

Then , Clifford , were thy heart as hard as steel ,
As thou hast shown it flinty by thy deeds ,
I come to pierce it or to give thee mine .

[73]ACT 2. SC. 2

EDWARD

Then strike up drums ! God and Saint George for us !

Enter a Messenger .

WARWICK

How now , what news ?

MESSENGER

The Duke of Norfolk sends you word by me ,
The Queen is coming with a puissant host ,
And craves your company for speedy counsel .

WARWICK

Why , then it sorts . Brave warriors , let’s away !

They all exit .

Scene 2

Flourish . Enter King Henry , Queen Margaret ,
Clifford , Northumberland , and young Prince Edward ,
all wearing the red rose with Drum and Trumpets ,
the head of York fixed above them .

QUEEN MARGARET

, to King Henry

Welcome , my lord , to this brave town of York .
Yonder’s the head of that arch-enemy
That sought to be encompassed with your crown .
Doth not the object cheer your heart , my lord ?

KING HENRY

Ay , as the rocks cheer them that fear their wrack !
To see this sight , it irks my very soul .
Withhold revenge , dear God ! ’Tis not my fault ,
Nor wittingly have I infringed my vow .

CLIFFORD

My gracious liege , this too much lenity
And harmful pity must be laid aside .
To whom do lions cast their gentle looks ?
Not to the beast that would usurp their den .
Whose hand is that the forest bear doth lick ?
[75] ACT 2. SC. 2 Not his that spoils her young before her face .
Who scapes the lurking serpent’s mortal sting ?
Not he that sets his foot upon her back .
The smallest worm will turn , being trodden on ,
And doves will peck in safeguard of their brood .
Ambitious York did level at thy crown ,
Thou smiling while he knit his angry brows .
He , but a duke , would have his son a king
And raise his issue like a loving sire ;
Thou being a king , blest with a goodly son ,
Didst yield consent to disinherit him ,
Which argued thee a most unloving father .
Unreasonable creatures feed their young ;
And though man’s face be fearful to their eyes ,
Yet in protection of their tender ones ,
Who hath not seen them , even with those wings
Which sometime they have used with fearful flight ,
Make war with him that climbed unto their nest ,
Offering their own lives in their young’s defense ?
For shame , my liege , make them your precedent .
Were it not pity that this goodly boy
Should lose his birthright by his father’s fault ,
And long hereafter say unto his child
‘What my great-grandfather and grandsire got ,
My careless father fondly gave away’ ?
Ah , what a shame were this ! Look on the boy ,
And let his manly face , which promiseth
Successful fortune , steel thy melting heart
To hold thine own and leave thine own with him .

KING HENRY

Full well hath Clifford played the orator ,
Inferring arguments of mighty force .
But , Clifford , tell me , didst thou never hear
That things ill got had ever bad success ?
And happy always was it for that son
Whose father for his hoarding went to hell ?
[77] ACT 2. SC. 2 I’ll leave my son my virtuous deeds behind ,
And would my father had left me no more ;
For all the rest is held at such a rate
As brings a thousandfold more care to keep
Than in possession any jot of pleasure .
Ah , cousin York , would thy best friends did know
How it doth grieve me that thy head is here .

QUEEN MARGARET

My lord , cheer up your spirits ; our foes are nigh ,
And this soft courage makes your followers faint .
You promised knighthood to our forward son .
Unsheathe your sword and dub him presently . —
Edward , kneel down .

He kneels .

KING HENRY

, dubbing him knight

Edward Plantagenet , arise a knight ,
And learn this lesson : draw thy sword in right .

PRINCE EDWARD

, rising

My gracious father , by your kingly leave ,
I’ll draw it as apparent to the crown
And in that quarrel use it to the death .

CLIFFORD

Why , that is spoken like a toward prince .

Enter a Messenger .

MESSENGER

Royal commanders , be in readiness ,
For with a band of thirty thousand men
Comes Warwick backing of the Duke of York ,
And in the towns as they do march along
Proclaims him king , and many fly to him .
Deraign your battle , for they are at hand .

He exits .

CLIFFORD

I would your Highness would depart the field .
The Queen hath best success when you are absent .

QUEEN MARGARET

Ay , good my lord , and leave us to our fortune .

[79]ACT 2. SC. 2

KING HENRY

Why , that’s my fortune too ; therefore I’ll stay .

NORTHUMBERLAND

Be it with resolution , then , to fight .

PRINCE EDWARD

My royal father , cheer these noble lords
And hearten those that fight in your defense .
Unsheathe your sword , good father ; cry ‘Saint
George !’

March . Enter Edward , Warwick , Richard ,
George , Norfolk , Montague , and Soldiers ,
all wearing the white rose .

EDWARD

Now , perjured Henry , wilt thou kneel for grace
And set thy diadem upon my head ,
Or bide the mortal fortune of the field ?

QUEEN MARGARET

Go rate thy minions , proud insulting boy .
Becomes it thee to be thus bold in terms
Before thy sovereign and thy lawful king ?

EDWARD

I am his king , and he should bow his knee .
I was adopted heir by his consent .
Since when , his oath is broke ; for , as I hear ,
You that are king , though he do wear the crown ,
Have caused him , by new act of Parliament ,
To blot out me and put his own son in .

CLIFFORD

And reason too :
Who should succeed the father but the son ?

RICHARD

Are you there , butcher ? O , I cannot speak !

CLIFFORD

Ay , crookback , here I stand to answer thee ,
Or any he , the proudest of thy sort .

[81]ACT 2. SC. 2

RICHARD

’Twas you that killed young Rutland , was it not ?

CLIFFORD

Ay , and old York , and yet not satisfied .

RICHARD

For God’s sake , lords , give signal to the fight !

WARWICK

What sayst thou , Henry ? Wilt thou yield the crown ?

QUEEN MARGARET

Why , how now , long-tongued Warwick , dare you
speak ?
When you and I met at Saint Albans last ,
Your legs did better service than your hands .

WARWICK

Then ’twas my turn to fly , and now ’tis thine .

CLIFFORD

You said so much before , and yet you fled .

WARWICK

’Twas not your valor , Clifford , drove me thence .

NORTHUMBERLAND

No , nor your manhood that durst make you stay .

RICHARD

Northumberland , I hold thee reverently . —
Break off the parley , for scarce I can refrain
The execution of my big-swoll’n heart
Upon that Clifford , that cruel child-killer .

CLIFFORD

I slew thy father ; call’st thou him a child ?

RICHARD

Ay , like a dastard and a treacherous coward ,
As thou didst kill our tender brother Rutland .
But ere sunset I’ll make thee curse the deed .

KING HENRY

Have done with words , my lords , and hear me
speak .

[83]ACT 2. SC. 2

QUEEN MARGARET

Defy them , then , or else hold close thy lips .

KING HENRY

I prithee , give no limits to my tongue .
I am a king and privileged to speak .

CLIFFORD

My liege , the wound that bred this meeting here
Cannot be cured by words ; therefore , be still .

RICHARD

Then , executioner , unsheathe thy sword .
By Him that made us all , I am resolved
That Clifford’s manhood lies upon his tongue .

EDWARD

Say , Henry , shall I have my right or no ?
A thousand men have broke their fasts today
That ne’er shall dine unless thou yield the crown .

WARWICK

If thou deny , their blood upon thy head ,
For York in justice puts his armor on .

PRINCE EDWARD

If that be right which Warwick says is right ,
There is no wrong , but everything is right .

RICHARD

Whoever got thee , there thy mother stands ,
For well I wot thou hast thy mother’s tongue .

QUEEN MARGARET

But thou art neither like thy sire nor dam ,
But like a foul misshapen stigmatic ,
Marked by the Destinies to be avoided ,
As venom toads or lizards’ dreadful stings .

RICHARD

Iron of Naples , hid with English gilt ,
Whose father bears the title of a king ,
As if a channel should be called the sea ,
[85] ACT 2. SC. 2 Sham’st thou not , knowing whence thou art
extraught ,
To let thy tongue detect thy baseborn heart ?

EDWARD

A wisp of straw were worth a thousand crowns
To make this shameless callet know herself . —
Helen of Greece was fairer far than thou ,
Although thy husband may be Menelaus ;
And ne’er was Agamemnon’s brother wronged
By that false woman as this king by thee .
His father reveled in the heart of France ,
And tamed the King , and made the Dauphin stoop ;
And had he matched according to his state ,
He might have kept that glory to this day .
But when he took a beggar to his bed
And graced thy poor sire with his bridal day ,
Even then that sunshine brewed a shower for him
That washed his father’s fortunes forth of France
And heaped sedition on his crown at home .
For what hath broached this tumult but thy pride ?
Hadst thou been meek , our title still had slept ,
And we , in pity of the gentle king ,
Had slipped our claim until another age .

GEORGE

But when we saw our sunshine made thy spring ,
And that thy summer bred us no increase ,
We set the axe to thy usurping root ;
And though the edge hath something hit ourselves ,
Yet know thou , since we have begun to strike ,
We’ll never leave till we have hewn thee down
Or bathed thy growing with our heated bloods .

EDWARD

And in this resolution , I defy thee ,
Not willing any longer conference ,
Since thou denied’st the gentle king to speak . —
[87] ACT 2. SC. 3 Sound , trumpets ! Let our bloody colors wave ;
And either victory or else a grave !

QUEEN MARGARET

Stay , Edward !

EDWARD

No , wrangling woman , we’ll no longer stay .
These words will cost ten thousand lives this day .

They all exit .

Scene 3

Alarum . Excursions .

Enter Warwick ,
wearing the white rose .

WARWICK

, lying down

Forspent with toil , as runners with a race ,
I lay me down a little while to breathe ,
For strokes received and many blows repaid
Have robbed my strong-knit sinews of their strength ;
And spite of spite , needs must I rest awhile .

Enter Edward , wearing the white rose , running .

EDWARD

Smile , gentle heaven , or strike , ungentle death ,
For this world frowns and Edward’s sun is clouded .

Enter George , wearing the white rose .

WARWICK

, standing

How now , my lord , what hap ? What hope of good ?

GEORGE

Our hap is loss , our hope but sad despair ;
Our ranks are broke , and ruin follows us .
What counsel give you ? Whither shall we fly ?

EDWARD

Bootless is flight ; they follow us with wings ,
And weak we are and cannot shun pursuit .

[89]ACT 2. SC. 3

Enter Richard , wearing the white rose .

RICHARD

Ah , Warwick , why hast thou withdrawn thyself ?
Thy brother’s blood the thirsty earth hath drunk ,
Broached with the steely point of Clifford’s lance ,
And in the very pangs of death he cried ,
Like to a dismal clangor heard from far ,
‘Warwick , revenge ! Brother , revenge my death !’
So , underneath the belly of their steeds ,
That stained their fetlocks in his smoking blood ,
The noble gentleman gave up the ghost .

WARWICK

Then let the earth be drunken with our blood !
I’ll kill my horse because I will not fly .
Why stand we like soft-hearted women here ,
Wailing our losses whiles the foe doth rage ,
And look upon , as if the tragedy
Were played in jest by counterfeiting actors ?

He kneels .

Here on my knee I vow to God above
I’ll never pause again , never stand still ,
Till either death hath closed these eyes of mine
Or Fortune given me measure of revenge .

EDWARD

O Warwick , I do bend my knee with thine ,
And in this vow do chain my soul to thine

He kneels .

And , ere my knee rise from the Earth’s cold face ,
I throw my hands , mine eyes , my heart to Thee ,
Thou setter up and plucker down of kings ,
Beseeching Thee , if with Thy will it stands
That to my foes this body must be prey ,
Yet that Thy brazen gates of heaven may ope
And give sweet passage to my sinful soul .

Edward and Warwick stand .

[91] ACT 2. SC. 4 Now , lords , take leave until we meet again ,
Where’er it be , in heaven or in Earth .

RICHARD

Brother , give me thy hand . — And , gentle Warwick ,
Let me embrace thee in my weary arms .
I that did never weep now melt with woe
That winter should cut off our springtime so .

WARWICK

Away , away ! Once more , sweet lords , farewell .

GEORGE

Yet let us all together to our troops
And give them leave to fly that will not stay ,
And call them pillars that will stand to us ;
And , if we thrive , promise them such rewards
As victors wear at the Olympian Games .
This may plant courage in their quailing breasts ,
For yet is hope of life and victory .
Forslow no longer ; make we hence amain .

They exit .

Scene 4

Excursions .

Enter , at separate doors , Richard wearing
the white rose , and Clifford , wearing the red rose .

RICHARD

Now , Clifford , I have singled thee alone .
Suppose this arm is for the Duke of York ,
And this for Rutland , both bound to revenge ,
Wert thou environed with a brazen wall .

CLIFFORD

Now , Richard , I am with thee here alone .
This is the hand that stabbed thy father York ,
And this the hand that slew thy brother Rutland ,
And here’s the heart that triumphs in their death
And cheers these hands that slew thy sire and brother
[93] ACT 2. SC. 5 To execute the like upon thyself .
And so , have at thee !

They fight ;

Warwick comes ;

Clifford flies .

RICHARD

Nay , Warwick , single out some other chase ,
For I myself will hunt this wolf to death .

They exit .

Scene 5

Alarum . Enter King Henry alone , wearing the red rose .

KING HENRY

This battle fares like to the morning’s war ,
When dying clouds contend with growing light ,
What time the shepherd , blowing of his nails ,
Can neither call it perfect day nor night .
Now sways it this way , like a mighty sea
Forced by the tide to combat with the wind ;
Now sways it that way , like the selfsame sea
Forced to retire by fury of the wind .
Sometime the flood prevails , and then the wind ;
Now one the better , then another best ,
Both tugging to be victors , breast to breast ,
Yet neither conqueror nor conquerèd .
So is the equal poise of this fell war .
Here on this molehill will I sit me down .

He sits on a small prominence .

To whom God will , there be the victory ;
For Margaret my queen and Clifford too
Have chid me from the battle , swearing both
They prosper best of all when I am thence .
Would I were dead , if God’s good will were so ,
For what is in this world but grief and woe ?
O God ! Methinks it were a happy life
[95] ACT 2. SC. 5 To be no better than a homely swain ,
To sit upon a hill as I do now ,
To carve out dials quaintly , point by point ,
Thereby to see the minutes how they run :
How many makes the hour full complete ,
How many hours brings about the day ,
How many days will finish up the year ,
How many years a mortal man may live .
When this is known , then to divide the times :
So many hours must I tend my flock ,
So many hours must I take my rest ,
So many hours must I contemplate ,
So many hours must I sport myself ,
So many days my ewes have been with young ,
So many weeks ere the poor fools will ean ,
So many years ere I shall shear the fleece ;
So minutes , hours , days , months , and years ,
Passed over to the end they were created ,
Would bring white hairs unto a quiet grave .
Ah , what a life were this ! How sweet , how lovely !
Gives not the hawthorn bush a sweeter shade
To shepherds looking on their silly sheep
Than doth a rich embroidered canopy
To kings that fear their subjects’ treachery ?
O yes , it doth , a thousandfold it doth .
And to conclude , the shepherd’s homely curds ,
His cold thin drink out of his leather bottle ,
His wonted sleep under a fresh tree’s shade ,
All which secure and sweetly he enjoys ,
Is far beyond a prince’s delicates —
His viands sparkling in a golden cup ,
His body couchèd in a curious bed —
When care , mistrust , and treason waits on him .

Alarum . Enter at one door a Son that hath killed his
Father , carrying the body .

[97]ACT 2. SC. 5

SON

Ill blows the wind that profits nobody .
This man , whom hand to hand I slew in fight ,
May be possessèd with some store of crowns ,
And I , that haply take them from him now ,
May yet ere night yield both my life and them
To some man else , as this dead man doth me .
Who’s this ? O God ! It is my father’s face ,
Whom in this conflict I unwares have killed .
O heavy times , begetting such events !
From London by the King was I pressed forth .
My father , being the Earl of Warwick’s man ,
Came on the part of York , pressed by his master .
And I , who at his hands received my life ,
Have by my hands of life bereavèd him .
Pardon me , God , I knew not what I did ;
And pardon , father , for I knew not thee .
My tears shall wipe away these bloody marks ,
And no more words till they have flowed their fill .

He weeps .

KING HENRY

O piteous spectacle ! O bloody times !
Whiles lions war and battle for their dens ,
Poor harmless lambs abide their enmity .
Weep , wretched man . I’ll aid thee tear for tear ,
And let our hearts and eyes , like civil war ,
Be blind with tears and break , o’ercharged with grief .

Enter at another door a Father that hath killed his Son ,
bearing of his Son’s body .

FATHER

Thou that so stoutly hath resisted me ,
Give me thy gold , if thou hast any gold ,
For I have bought it with an hundred blows .
But let me see : is this our foeman’s face ?
Ah , no , no , no , it is mine only son !
[99] ACT 2. SC. 5 Ah , boy , if any life be left in thee ,
Throw up thine eye ! See , see , what showers arise ,
Blown with the windy tempest of my heart
Upon thy wounds , that kills mine eye and heart !
O , pity God this miserable age !
What stratagems , how fell , how butcherly ,
Erroneous , mutinous , and unnatural
This deadly quarrel daily doth beget !
O , boy , thy father gave thee life too soon ,
And hath bereft thee of thy life too late !

KING HENRY

Woe above woe , grief more than common grief !
O , that my death would stay these ruthful deeds !
O pity , pity , gentle heaven , pity !
The red rose and the white are on his face ,
The fatal colors of our striving houses ;
The one his purple blood right well resembles ,
The other his pale cheeks methinks presenteth .
Wither one rose and let the other flourish ;
If you contend , a thousand lives must wither .

SON

How will my mother for a father’s death
Take on with me and ne’er be satisfied !

FATHER

How will my wife for slaughter of my son
Shed seas of tears and ne’er be satisfied !

KING HENRY

How will the country for these woeful chances
Misthink the King and not be satisfied !

SON

Was ever son so rued a father’s death ?

FATHER

Was ever father so bemoaned his son ?

KING HENRY

Was ever king so grieved for subjects’ woe ?
Much is your sorrow , mine ten times so much .

[101]ACT 2. SC. 5

SON

I’ll bear thee hence , where I may weep my fill .

He exits , bearing the body .

FATHER

These arms of mine shall be thy winding-sheet ;
My heart , sweet boy , shall be thy sepulcher ,
For from my heart thine image ne’er shall go .
My sighing breast shall be thy funeral bell ;
And so obsequious will thy father be
E’en for the loss of thee , having no more ,
As Priam was for all his valiant sons .
I’ll bear thee hence , and let them fight that will ,
For I have murdered where I should not kill .

He exits , bearing the body .

KING HENRY

Sad-hearted men , much overgone with care ,
Here sits a king more woeful than you are .

Alarums . Excursions .

Enter Queen Margaret , Prince
Edward , and Exeter , all wearing the red rose .

PRINCE EDWARD

Fly , father , fly , for all your friends are fled ,
And Warwick rages like a chafèd bull .
Away , for Death doth hold us in pursuit .

QUEEN MARGARET

Mount you , my lord ; towards Berwick post amain .
Edward and Richard , like a brace of greyhounds
Having the fearful flying hare in sight ,
With fiery eyes sparkling for very wrath
And bloody steel grasped in their ireful hands ,
Are at our backs , and therefore hence amain .

EXETER

Away , for Vengeance comes along with them .
Nay , stay not to expostulate , make speed ;
Or else come after ; I’ll away before .

[103]ACT 2. SC. 6

KING HENRY

Nay , take me with thee , good sweet Exeter ;
Not that I fear to stay , but love to go
Whither the Queen intends . Forward , away !

They exit .

Scene 6

A loud alarum . Enter Clifford ,
wearing the red rose , wounded .

CLIFFORD

Here burns my candle out ; ay , here it dies ,
Which whiles it lasted gave King Henry light .
O Lancaster , I fear thy overthrow
More than my body’s parting with my soul !
My love and fear glued many friends to thee ;
And now I fall , thy tough commixtures melts ,
Impairing Henry , strength’ning misproud York ;
And whither fly the gnats but to the sun ?
And who shines now but Henry’s enemies ?
O Phoebus , hadst thou never given consent
That Phaëton should check thy fiery steeds ,
Thy burning car never had scorched the Earth !
And Henry , hadst thou swayed as kings should do ,
Or as thy father and his father did ,
Giving no ground unto the house of York ,
They never then had sprung like summer flies ;
I and ten thousand in this luckless realm
Had left no mourning widows for our death ,
And thou this day hadst kept thy chair in peace .
For what doth cherish weeds but gentle air ?
And what makes robbers bold but too much lenity ?
Bootless are plaints , and cureless are my wounds ;
No way to fly , no strength to hold out flight .
The foe is merciless and will not pity ,
[105] ACT 2. SC. 6 For at their hands I have deserved no pity .
The air hath got into my deadly wounds ,
And much effuse of blood doth make me faint .
Come , York and Richard , Warwick and the rest .
I stabbed your fathers’ bosoms ; split my breast .

He faints .

Alarum and retreat . Enter Edward , Warwick ,
Richard , and Soldiers , Montague , and George ,
all wearing the white rose .

EDWARD

Now breathe we , lords . Good fortune bids us pause
And smooth the frowns of war with peaceful looks .
Some troops pursue the bloody-minded queen
That led calm Henry , though he were a king ,
As doth a sail filled with a fretting gust
Command an argosy to stem the waves .
But think you , lords , that Clifford fled with them ?

WARWICK

No , ’tis impossible he should escape ,
For , though before his face I speak the words ,
Your brother Richard marked him for the grave ,
And wheresoe’er he is , he’s surely dead .

Clifford groans , and dies .

RICHARD

Whose soul is that which takes her heavy leave ?
A deadly groan , like life and death’s departing .

EDWARD

See who it is ; and , now the battle’s ended ,
If friend or foe , let him be gently used .

RICHARD

Revoke that doom of mercy , for ’tis Clifford ,
Who not contented that he lopped the branch
In hewing Rutland when his leaves put forth ,
But set his murd’ring knife unto the root
[107] ACT 2. SC. 6 From whence that tender spray did sweetly spring ,
I mean our princely father , Duke of York .

WARWICK

From off the gates of York fetch down the head ,
Your father’s head , which Clifford placèd there ;
Instead whereof let this supply the room .
Measure for measure must be answerèd .

EDWARD

Bring forth that fatal screech owl to our house
That nothing sung but death to us and ours ;
Now death shall stop his dismal threat’ning sound ,
And his ill-boding tongue no more shall speak .

WARWICK

I think his understanding is bereft . —
Speak , Clifford , dost thou know who speaks to
thee ? —
Dark cloudy death o’ershades his beams of life ,
And he nor sees nor hears us what we say .

RICHARD

O , would he did — and so , perhaps , he doth !
’Tis but his policy to counterfeit ,
Because he would avoid such bitter taunts
Which in the time of death he gave our father .

GEORGE

If so thou think’st , vex him with eager words .

RICHARD

Clifford , ask mercy and obtain no grace .

EDWARD

Clifford , repent in bootless penitence .

WARWICK

Clifford , devise excuses for thy faults .

GEORGE

While we devise fell tortures for thy faults .

RICHARD

Thou didst love York , and I am son to York .

[109]ACT 2. SC. 6

EDWARD

Thou pitied’st Rutland ; I will pity thee .

GEORGE

Where’s Captain Margaret to fence you now ?

WARWICK

They mock thee , Clifford ; swear as thou wast wont .

RICHARD

What , not an oath ? Nay , then , the world goes hard
When Clifford cannot spare his friends an oath .
I know by that he’s dead ; and , by my soul ,
If this right hand would buy but two hours’ life
That I in all despite might rail at him ,
This hand should chop it off , and with the issuing
blood
Stifle the villain whose unstaunchèd thirst
York and young Rutland could not satisfy .

WARWICK

Ay , but he’s dead . Off with the traitor’s head ,
And rear it in the place your father’s stands .
And now to London with triumphant march ,
There to be crownèd England’s royal king ,
From whence shall Warwick cut the sea to France
And ask the Lady Bona for thy queen ;
So shalt thou sinew both these lands together ,
And having France thy friend , thou shalt not dread
The scattered foe that hopes to rise again ;
For though they cannot greatly sting to hurt ,
Yet look to have them buzz to offend thine ears .
First will I see the coronation ,
And then to Brittany I’ll cross the sea
To effect this marriage , so it please my lord .

EDWARD

Even as thou wilt , sweet Warwick , let it be ;
For in thy shoulder do I build my seat ,
And never will I undertake the thing
Wherein thy counsel and consent is wanting . —
[111] ACT 2. SC. 6 Richard , I will create thee Duke of Gloucester ,
And George , of Clarence . Warwick as ourself
Shall do and undo as him pleaseth best .

RICHARD

Let me be Duke of Clarence , George of Gloucester ,
For Gloucester’s dukedom is too ominous .

WARWICK

Tut , that’s a foolish observation .
Richard , be Duke of Gloucester . Now to London ,
To see these honors in possession .

They exit , with Clifford’s body .

ACT 3

Scene 1

Enter two Gamekeepers ,
with crossbows in their hands .

FIRST GAMEKEEPER

Under this thick-grown brake we’ll shroud ourselves ,
For through this laund anon the deer will come ;
And in this covert will we make our stand ,
Culling the principal of all the deer .

SECOND GAMEKEEPER

I’ll stay above the hill , so both may shoot .

FIRST GAMEKEEPER

That cannot be . The noise of thy crossbow
Will scare the herd , and so my shoot is lost .
Here stand we both , and aim we at the best .
And for the time shall not seem tedious ,
I’ll tell thee what befell me on a day
In this self place where now we mean to stand .

SECOND GAMEKEEPER

Here comes a man ; let’s stay till he be past .

Enter King Henry , in disguise , with a prayer book .

KING HENRY

From Scotland am I stol’n , even of pure love ,
To greet mine own land with my wishful sight .
No , Harry , Harry , ’tis no land of thine !
Thy place is filled , thy scepter wrung from thee ,
[117] ACT 3. SC. 1 Thy balm washed off wherewith thou wast anointed .
No bending knee will call thee Caesar now ,
No humble suitors press to speak for right ,
No , not a man comes for redress of thee ;
For how can I help them an not myself ?

FIRST GAMEKEEPER

, aside to Second Gamekeeper

Ay , here’s a deer whose skin’s a keeper’s fee .
This is the quondam king . Let’s seize upon him .

KING HENRY

Let me embrace the sour adversaries ,
For wise men say it is the wisest course .

SECOND GAMEKEEPER

, aside to First Gamekeeper

Why linger we ? Let us lay hands upon him .

FIRST GAMEKEEPER

, aside to Second Gamekeeper

Forbear awhile ; we’ll hear a little more .

KING HENRY

My queen and son are gone to France for aid ,
And , as I hear , the great commanding Warwick
Is thither gone to crave the French king’s sister
To wife for Edward . If this news be true ,
Poor queen and son , your labor is but lost ,
For Warwick is a subtle orator ,
And Lewis a prince soon won with moving words .
By this account , then , Margaret may win him ,
For she’s a woman to be pitied much .
Her sighs will make a batt’ry in his breast ,
Her tears will pierce into a marble heart .
The tiger will be mild whiles she doth mourn ,
And Nero will be tainted with remorse
To hear and see her plaints , her brinish tears .
Ay , but she’s come to beg , Warwick to give ;
She on his left side craving aid for Henry ;
He on his right asking a wife for Edward .
She weeps and says her Henry is deposed ;
He smiles and says his Edward is installed ;
That she , poor wretch , for grief can speak no more ,
[119] ACT 3. SC. 1 Whiles Warwick tells his title , smooths the wrong ,
Inferreth arguments of mighty strength ,
And in conclusion wins the King from her
With promise of his sister and what else
To strengthen and support King Edward’s place .
O Margaret , thus ’twill be , and thou , poor soul ,
Art then forsaken , as thou went’st forlorn .

SECOND GAMEKEEPER

Say , what art thou that talk’st of kings and queens ?

KING HENRY

More than I seem , and less than I was born to :
A man at least , for less I should not be ;
And men may talk of kings , and why not I ?

SECOND GAMEKEEPER

Ay , but thou talk’st as if thou wert a king .

KING HENRY

Why , so I am in mind , and that’s enough .

SECOND GAMEKEEPER

But if thou be a king , where is thy crown ?

KING HENRY

My crown is in my heart , not on my head ;
Not decked with diamonds and Indian stones ,
Nor to be seen . My crown is called content ;
A crown it is that seldom kings enjoy .

SECOND GAMEKEEPER

Well , if you be a king crowned with content ,
Your crown content and you must be contented
To go along with us . For , as we think ,
You are the king King Edward hath deposed ;
And we his subjects sworn in all allegiance
Will apprehend you as his enemy .

KING HENRY

But did you never swear and break an oath ?

SECOND GAMEKEEPER

No , never such an oath , nor will not now .

[121]ACT 3. SC. 1

KING HENRY

Where did you dwell when I was King of England ?

SECOND GAMEKEEPER

Here in this country , where we now remain .

KING HENRY

I was anointed king at nine months old .
My father and my grandfather were kings ,
And you were sworn true subjects unto me .
And tell me , then , have you not broke your oaths ?

FIRST GAMEKEEPER

No , for we were subjects but while you were king .

KING HENRY

Why , am I dead ? Do I not breathe a man ?
Ah , simple men , you know not what you swear .
Look as I blow this feather from my face
And as the air blows it to me again ,
Obeying with my wind when I do blow
And yielding to another when it blows ,
Commanded always by the greater gust ,
Such is the lightness of you common men .
But do not break your oaths , for of that sin
My mild entreaty shall not make you guilty .
Go where you will , the King shall be commanded ,
And be you kings : command , and I’ll obey .

FIRST GAMEKEEPER

We are true subjects to the King , King Edward .

KING HENRY

So would you be again to Henry
If he were seated as King Edward is .

FIRST GAMEKEEPER

We charge you in God’s name and the King’s
To go with us unto the officers .

KING HENRY

In God’s name , lead . Your king’s name be obeyed ,
And what God will , that let your king perform .
And what he will , I humbly yield unto .

They exit .

[123]ACT 3. SC. 2

Scene 2

Enter King Edward , Richard , Duke of Gloucester ,
George , Duke of Clarence , Lady Grey ,
and Attendants .

KING EDWARD

Brother of Gloucester , at Saint Albans field
This lady’s husband , Sir Richard Grey , was slain ,
His land then seized on by the conqueror .
Her suit is now to repossess those lands ,
Which we in justice cannot well deny ,
Because in quarrel of the house of York
The worthy gentleman did lose his life .

RICHARD

Your Highness shall do well to grant her suit ;
It were dishonor to deny it her .

KING EDWARD

It were no less , but yet I’ll make a pause .

RICHARD

, aside to Clarence

Yea , is it so ?
I see the lady hath a thing to grant
Before the King will grant her humble suit .

CLARENCE

, formerly GEORGE , aside to Richard

He knows the game ; how true he keeps the wind !

RICHARD

, aside to Clarence

Silence !

KING EDWARD

Widow , we will consider of your suit ,
And come some other time to know our mind .

LADY GREY

Right gracious lord , I cannot brook delay .
May it please your Highness to resolve me now ,
And what your pleasure is shall satisfy me .

RICHARD

, aside to Clarence

Ay , widow ? Then I’ll warrant you all your lands ,
An if what pleases him shall pleasure you .
Fight closer , or , good faith , you’ll catch a blow .

[125]ACT 3. SC. 2

CLARENCE

, aside to Richard

I fear her not , unless she chance to fall .

RICHARD

, aside to Clarence

God forbid that , for he’ll take vantages .

KING EDWARD

How many children hast thou , widow ? Tell me .

CLARENCE

, aside to Richard

I think he means to beg a child of her .

RICHARD

, aside to Clarence

Nay , then , whip me ; he’ll rather give her two .

LADY GREY

Three , my most gracious lord .

RICHARD

, aside to Clarence

You shall have four if you’ll be ruled by him .

KING EDWARD

’Twere pity they should lose their father’s lands .

LADY GREY

Be pitiful , dread lord , and grant it then .

KING EDWARD

Lords , give us leave . I’ll try this widow’s wit .

Richard and Clarence stand aside .

RICHARD

, aside to Clarence

Ay , good leave have you , for you will have leave
Till youth take leave and leave you to the crutch .

KING EDWARD

Now tell me , madam , do you love your children ?

LADY GREY

Ay , full as dearly as I love myself .

KING EDWARD

And would you not do much to do them good ?

LADY GREY

To do them good I would sustain some harm .

KING EDWARD

Then get your husband’s lands to do them good .

LADY GREY

Therefore I came unto your Majesty .

[127]ACT 3. SC. 2

KING EDWARD

I’ll tell you how these lands are to be got .

LADY GREY

So shall you bind me to your Highness’ service .

KING EDWARD

What service wilt thou do me if I give them ?

LADY GREY

What you command that rests in me to do .

KING EDWARD

But you will take exceptions to my boon .

LADY GREY

No , gracious lord , except I cannot do it .

KING EDWARD

Ay , but thou canst do what I mean to ask .

LADY GREY

Why , then , I will do what your Grace commands .

RICHARD

, aside to Clarence

He plies her hard , and much rain wears the marble .

CLARENCE

, aside to Richard

As red as fire ! Nay , then , her wax must melt .

LADY GREY

Why stops my lord ? Shall I not hear my task ?

KING EDWARD

An easy task ; ’tis but to love a king .

LADY GREY

That’s soon performed because I am a subject .

KING EDWARD

Why , then , thy husband’s lands I freely give thee .

LADY GREY

I take my leave with many thousand thanks .

She curtsies and begins to exit .

RICHARD

, aside to Clarence

The match is made ; she seals it with a cursy .

KING EDWARD

But stay thee ; ’tis the fruits of love I mean .

[129]ACT 3. SC. 2

LADY GREY

The fruits of love I mean , my loving liege .

KING EDWARD

Ay , but , I fear me , in another sense .
What love , think’st thou , I sue so much to get ?

LADY GREY

My love till death , my humble thanks , my prayers ,
That love which virtue begs and virtue grants .

KING EDWARD

No , by my troth , I did not mean such love .

LADY GREY

Why , then , you mean not as I thought you did .

KING EDWARD

But now you partly may perceive my mind .

LADY GREY

My mind will never grant what I perceive
Your Highness aims at , if I aim aright .

KING EDWARD

To tell thee plain , I aim to lie with thee .

LADY GREY

To tell you plain , I had rather lie in prison .

KING EDWARD

Why , then , thou shalt not have thy husband’s lands .

LADY GREY

Why , then , mine honesty shall be my dower ,
For by that loss I will not purchase them .

KING EDWARD

Therein thou wrong’st thy children mightily .

LADY GREY

Herein your Highness wrongs both them and me .
But , mighty lord , this merry inclination
Accords not with the sadness of my suit .
Please you dismiss me either with ay or no .

KING EDWARD

Ay , if thou wilt say ‘ay’ to my request ;
No , if thou dost say ‘no’ to my demand .

[131]ACT 3. SC. 2

LADY GREY

Then no , my lord ; my suit is at an end .

RICHARD

, aside to Clarence

The widow likes him not ; she knits her brows .

CLARENCE

, aside to Richard

He is the bluntest wooer in Christendom .

KING EDWARD

, aside

Her looks doth argue her replete with modesty ;
Her words doth show her wit incomparable ;
All her perfections challenge sovereignty .
One way or other , she is for a king ,
And she shall be my love or else my queen . —
Say that King Edward take thee for his queen ?

LADY GREY

’Tis better said than done , my gracious lord .
I am a subject fit to jest withal ,
But far unfit to be a sovereign .

KING EDWARD

Sweet widow , by my state I swear to thee
I speak no more than what my soul intends ,
And that is , to enjoy thee for my love .

LADY GREY

And that is more than I will yield unto .
I know I am too mean to be your queen
And yet too good to be your concubine .

KING EDWARD

You cavil , widow ; I did mean my queen .

LADY GREY

’Twill grieve your Grace my sons should call you
father .

KING EDWARD

No more than when my daughters call thee mother .
Thou art a widow and thou hast some children ,
And , by God’s mother , I , being but a bachelor ,
Have other some . Why , ’tis a happy thing
To be the father unto many sons .
Answer no more , for thou shalt be my queen .

[133]ACT 3. SC. 2

RICHARD

, aside to Clarence

The ghostly father now hath done his shrift .

CLARENCE

, aside to Richard

When he was made a shriver , ’twas for shift .

KING EDWARD

Brothers , you muse what chat we two have had .

RICHARD

The widow likes it not , for she looks very sad .

KING EDWARD

You’d think it strange if I should marry her .

CLARENCE

To who , my lord ?

KING EDWARD

Why , Clarence , to myself .

RICHARD

That would be ten days’ wonder at the least .

CLARENCE

That’s a day longer than a wonder lasts .

RICHARD

By so much is the wonder in extremes .

KING EDWARD

Well , jest on , brothers . I can tell you both
Her suit is granted for her husband’s lands .

Enter a Nobleman .

NOBLEMAN

My gracious lord , Henry , your foe , is taken
And brought your prisoner to your palace gate .

KING EDWARD

See that he be conveyed unto the Tower .

Nobleman exits .

And go we , brothers , to the man that took him ,
To question of his apprehension . —
Widow , go you along . — Lords , use her honorably .

They exit .
Richard remains .

[135]ACT 3. SC. 2

RICHARD

Ay , Edward will use women honorably !
Would he were wasted — marrow , bones , and all —
That from his loins no hopeful branch may spring
To cross me from the golden time I look for .
And yet , between my soul’s desire and me ,
The lustful Edward’s title burièd ,
Is Clarence , Henry , and his son , young Edward ,
And all the unlooked-for issue of their bodies
To take their rooms ere I can place myself .
A cold premeditation for my purpose .
Why , then , I do but dream on sovereignty
Like one that stands upon a promontory
And spies a far-off shore where he would tread ,
Wishing his foot were equal with his eye ,
And chides the sea that sunders him from thence ,
Saying he’ll lade it dry to have his way .
So do I wish the crown , being so far off ,
And so I chide the means that keeps me from it ,
And so , I say , I’ll cut the causes off ,
Flattering me with impossibilities .
My eye’s too quick , my heart o’erweens too much ,
Unless my hand and strength could equal them .
Well , say there is no kingdom then for Richard ,
What other pleasure can the world afford ?
I’ll make my heaven in a lady’s lap
And deck my body in gay ornaments ,
And ’witch sweet ladies with my words and looks .
O miserable thought , and more unlikely
Than to accomplish twenty golden crowns !
Why , Love forswore me in my mother’s womb ,
And , for I should not deal in her soft laws ,
She did corrupt frail Nature with some bribe
To shrink mine arm up like a withered shrub ;
To make an envious mountain on my back ,
[137] ACT 3. SC. 2 Where sits Deformity to mock my body ;
To shape my legs of an unequal size ;
To disproportion me in every part ,
Like to a chaos , or an unlicked bear-whelp ,
That carries no impression like the dam .
And am I then a man to be beloved ?
O monstrous fault to harbor such a thought !
Then , since this Earth affords no joy to me
But to command , to check , to o’erbear such
As are of better person than myself ,
I’ll make my heaven to dream upon the crown ,
And , whiles I live , t’ account this world but hell
Until my misshaped trunk that bears this head
Be round impalèd with a glorious crown .
And yet I know not how to get the crown ,
For many lives stand between me and home ;
And I , like one lost in a thorny wood ,
That rents the thorns and is rent with the thorns ,
Seeking a way and straying from the way ,
Not knowing how to find the open air ,
But toiling desperately to find it out ,
Torment myself to catch the English crown .
And from that torment I will free myself
Or hew my way out with a bloody axe .
Why , I can smile , and murder whiles I smile ,
And cry ‘Content’ to that which grieves my heart ,
And wet my cheeks with artificial tears ,
And frame my face to all occasions .
I’ll drown more sailors than the mermaid shall ;
I’ll slay more gazers than the basilisk ;
I’ll play the orator as well as Nestor ,
Deceive more slyly than Ulysses could ,
And , like a Sinon , take another Troy .
I can add colors to the chameleon ,
Change shapes with Proteus for advantages ,
[139] ACT 3. SC. 3 And set the murderous Machiavel to school .
Can I do this and cannot get a crown ?
Tut , were it farther off , I’ll pluck it down .

He exits .

Scene 3

Flourish . Enter Lewis the French king , his sister
the Lady Bona , his Admiral called Bourbon ,
Prince Edward , Queen Margaret , and the Earl of Oxford ,
the last three wearing the red rose .

Lewis sits , and riseth up again .

KING LEWIS

Fair Queen of England , worthy Margaret ,
Sit down with us . It ill befits thy state
And birth that thou shouldst stand while Lewis
doth sit .

QUEEN MARGARET

No , mighty King of France . Now Margaret
Must strike her sail and learn awhile to serve
Where kings command . I was , I must confess ,
Great Albion’s queen in former golden days ,
But now mischance hath trod my title down
And with dishonor laid me on the ground ,
Where I must take like seat unto my fortune
And to my humble seat conform myself .

KING LEWIS

Why , say , fair queen , whence springs this deep
despair ?

QUEEN MARGARET

From such a cause as fills mine eyes with tears
And stops my tongue , while heart is drowned in cares .

[141]ACT 3. SC. 3

KING LEWIS

Whate’er it be , be thou still like thyself ,
And sit thee by our side .

Seats her by him .

Yield not thy neck
To Fortune’s yoke , but let thy dauntless mind
Still ride in triumph over all mischance .
Be plain , Queen Margaret , and tell thy grief .
It shall be eased if France can yield relief .

QUEEN MARGARET

Those gracious words revive my drooping thoughts
And give my tongue-tied sorrows leave to speak .
Now therefore be it known to noble Lewis
That Henry , sole possessor of my love ,
Is , of a king , become a banished man
And forced to live in Scotland a forlorn ;
While proud ambitious Edward , Duke of York ,
Usurps the regal title and the seat
Of England’s true-anointed lawful king .
This is the cause that I , poor Margaret ,
With this my son , Prince Edward , Henry’s heir ,
Am come to crave thy just and lawful aid ;
And if thou fail us , all our hope is done .
Scotland hath will to help but cannot help ;
Our people and our peers are both misled ,
Our treasure seized , our soldiers put to flight ,
And , as thou seest , ourselves in heavy plight .

KING LEWIS

Renownèd queen , with patience calm the storm
While we bethink a means to break it off .

QUEEN MARGARET

The more we stay , the stronger grows our foe .

KING LEWIS

The more I stay , the more I’ll succor thee .

QUEEN MARGARET

O , but impatience waiteth on true sorrow .
[143] ACT 3. SC. 3

Enter Warwick , wearing the white rose .

And see where comes the breeder of my sorrow .

KING LEWIS

What’s he approacheth boldly to our presence ?

QUEEN MARGARET

Our Earl of Warwick , Edward’s greatest friend .

KING LEWIS

, standing

Welcome , brave Warwick . What brings thee to France ?

He descends . She ariseth .

QUEEN MARGARET

, aside

Ay , now begins a second storm to rise ,
For this is he that moves both wind and tide .

WARWICK

From worthy Edward , King of Albion ,
My lord and sovereign and thy vowèd friend ,
I come in kindness and unfeignèd love ,
First , to do greetings to thy royal person ,
And then to crave a league of amity ,
And , lastly , to confirm that amity
With nuptial knot , if thou vouchsafe to grant
That virtuous Lady Bona , thy fair sister ,
To England’s king in lawful marriage .

QUEEN MARGARET

, aside

If that go forward , Henry’s hope is done .

WARWICK

, speaking to Lady Bona

And , gracious madam , in our king’s behalf ,
I am commanded , with your leave and favor ,
Humbly to kiss your hand , and with my tongue
To tell the passion of my sovereign’s heart ,
Where fame , late ent’ring at his heedful ears ,
Hath placed thy beauty’s image and thy virtue .

QUEEN MARGARET

King Lewis and Lady Bona , hear me speak
Before you answer Warwick . His demand
Springs not from Edward’s well-meant honest love ,
[145] ACT 3. SC. 3 But from deceit , bred by necessity ;
For how can tyrants safely govern home
Unless abroad they purchase great alliance ?
To prove him tyrant , this reason may suffice :
That Henry liveth still ; but were he dead ,
Yet here Prince Edward stands , King Henry’s son .
Look , therefore , Lewis , that by this league and
marriage
Thou draw not on thy danger and dishonor ;
For though usurpers sway the rule awhile ,
Yet heav’ns are just , and time suppresseth wrongs .

WARWICK

Injurious Margaret !

PRINCE EDWARD

And why not ‘Queen’ ?

WARWICK

Because thy father Henry did usurp ,
And thou no more art prince than she is queen .

OXFORD

Then Warwick disannuls great John of Gaunt ,
Which did subdue the greatest part of Spain ;
And after John of Gaunt , Henry the Fourth ,
Whose wisdom was a mirror to the wisest ;
And after that wise prince , Henry the Fifth ,
Who by his prowess conquerèd all France .
From these our Henry lineally descends .

WARWICK

Oxford , how haps it in this smooth discourse
You told not how Henry the Sixth hath lost
All that which Henry the Fifth had gotten .
Methinks these peers of France should smile at that .
But , for the rest : you tell a pedigree
Of threescore and two years , a silly time
To make prescription for a kingdom’s worth .

OXFORD

Why , Warwick , canst thou speak against thy liege ,
Whom thou obeyed’st thirty and six years ,
And not bewray thy treason with a blush ?

[147]ACT 3. SC. 3

WARWICK

Can Oxford , that did ever fence the right ,
Now buckler falsehood with a pedigree ?
For shame , leave Henry , and call Edward king .

OXFORD

Call him my king , by whose injurious doom
My elder brother , the Lord Aubrey Vere ,
Was done to death ? And more than so , my father ,
Even in the downfall of his mellowed years ,
When nature brought him to the door of death ?
No , Warwick , no . While life upholds this arm ,
This arm upholds the house of Lancaster .

WARWICK

And I the house of York .

KING LEWIS

Queen Margaret , Prince Edward , and Oxford ,
Vouchsafe , at our request , to stand aside
While I use further conference with Warwick .

They stand aloof .

QUEEN MARGARET

, aside

Heavens grant that Warwick’s words bewitch him
not .

KING LEWIS

Now , Warwick , tell me , even upon thy conscience ,
Is Edward your true king ? For I were loath
To link with him that were not lawful chosen .

WARWICK

Thereon I pawn my credit and mine honor .

KING LEWIS

But is he gracious in the people’s eye ?

WARWICK

The more that Henry was unfortunate .

KING LEWIS

Then further , all dissembling set aside ,
Tell me for truth the measure of his love
Unto our sister Bona .

[149]ACT 3. SC. 3

WARWICK

Such it seems
As may beseem a monarch like himself .
Myself have often heard him say and swear
That this his love was an eternal plant ,
Whereof the root was fixed in virtue’s ground ,
The leaves and fruit maintained with beauty’s sun ,
Exempt from envy but not from disdain ,
Unless the Lady Bona quit his pain .

KING LEWIS

Now , sister , let us hear your firm resolve .

LADY BONA

Your grant or your denial shall be mine .

( Speaks to Warwick . )

Yet I confess that often ere this
day ,
When I have heard your king’s desert recounted ,
Mine ear hath tempted judgment to desire .

KING LEWIS

Then , Warwick , thus : our sister shall be Edward’s .
And now forthwith shall articles be drawn
Touching the jointure that your king must make ,
Which with her dowry shall be counterpoised . —
Draw near , Queen Margaret , and be a witness
That Bona shall be wife to the English king .

PRINCE EDWARD

To Edward , but not to the English king .

QUEEN MARGARET

Deceitful Warwick , it was thy device
By this alliance to make void my suit .
Before thy coming , Lewis was Henry’s friend .

KING LEWIS

And still is friend to him and Margaret .
But if your title to the crown be weak ,
As may appear by Edward’s good success ,
Then ’tis but reason that I be released
From giving aid which late I promisèd .
[151] ACT 3. SC. 3 Yet shall you have all kindness at my hand
That your estate requires and mine can yield .

WARWICK

Henry now lives in Scotland at his ease ,
Where , having nothing , nothing can he lose . —
And as for you yourself , our quondam queen ,
You have a father able to maintain you ,
And better ’twere you troubled him than France .

QUEEN MARGARET

Peace , impudent and shameless Warwick ,
Proud setter-up and puller-down of kings !
I will not hence till with my talk and tears ,
Both full of truth , I make King Lewis behold
Thy sly conveyance and thy lord’s false love ,
For both of you are birds of selfsame feather .

Post blowing a horn within .

KING LEWIS

Warwick , this is some post to us or thee .

Enter the Post .

POST

speaks to Warwick .

My lord ambassador , these letters are for you ,
Sent from your brother , Marquess Montague .

( To Lewis . )

These from our king unto your Majesty .

( To Margaret . )

And , madam , these for you — from
whom , I know not .

They all read their letters .

OXFORD

, aside

I like it well that our fair queen and mistress
Smiles at her news , while Warwick frowns at his .

PRINCE EDWARD

, aside

Nay , mark how Lewis stamps as he were nettled .
I hope all’s for the best .

KING LEWIS

Warwick , what are thy news ? And yours , fair queen ?

QUEEN MARGARET

Mine , such as fill my heart with unhoped joys .

[153]ACT 3. SC. 3

WARWICK

Mine , full of sorrow and heart’s discontent .

KING LEWIS

What , has your king married the Lady Grey ,
And now , to soothe your forgery and his ,
Sends me a paper to persuade me patience ?
Is this th’ alliance that he seeks with France ?
Dare he presume to scorn us in this manner ?

QUEEN MARGARET

I told your Majesty as much before .
This proveth Edward’s love and Warwick’s honesty .

WARWICK

King Lewis , I here protest in sight of heaven
And by the hope I have of heavenly bliss ,
That I am clear from this misdeed of Edward’s —
No more my king , for he dishonors me ,
But most himself , if he could see his shame .
Did I forget that by the house of York
My father came untimely to his death ?
Did I let pass th’ abuse done to my niece ?
Did I impale him with the regal crown ?
Did I put Henry from his native right ?
And am I guerdoned at the last with shame ?
Shame on himself , for my desert is honor !
And to repair my honor lost for him ,
I here renounce him and return to Henry .

He removes the white rose .

My noble queen , let former grudges pass ,
And henceforth I am thy true servitor .
I will revenge his wrong to Lady Bona
And replant Henry in his former state .

QUEEN MARGARET

Warwick , these words have turned my hate to love ,
And I forgive and quite forget old faults ,
And joy that thou becom’st King Henry’s friend .

[155]ACT 3. SC. 3

WARWICK

So much his friend , ay , his unfeignèd friend ,
That if King Lewis vouchsafe to furnish us
With some few bands of chosen soldiers ,
I’ll undertake to land them on our coast
And force the tyrant from his seat by war .
’Tis not his new-made bride shall succor him .
And as for Clarence , as my letters tell me ,
He’s very likely now to fall from him
For matching more for wanton lust than honor ,
Or than for strength and safety of our country .

LADY BONA

Dear brother , how shall Bona be revenged
But by thy help to this distressèd queen ?

QUEEN MARGARET

Renownèd prince , how shall poor Henry live
Unless thou rescue him from foul despair ?

LADY BONA

My quarrel and this English queen’s are one .

WARWICK

And mine , fair Lady Bona , joins with yours .

KING LEWIS

And mine with hers and thine and Margaret’s .
Therefore at last I firmly am resolved
You shall have aid .

QUEEN MARGARET

Let me give humble thanks for all , at once .

KING LEWIS

Then , England’s messenger , return in post ,
And tell false Edward , thy supposèd king ,
That Lewis of France is sending over maskers
To revel it with him and his new bride .
Thou seest what’s passed ; go fear thy king withal .

LADY BONA

Tell him , in hope he’ll prove a widower shortly ,
I wear the willow garland for his sake .

[157]ACT 3. SC. 3

QUEEN MARGARET

Tell him my mourning weeds are laid aside
And I am ready to put armor on .

WARWICK

Tell him from me that he hath done me wrong ,
And therefore I’ll uncrown him ere ’t be long .
There’s thy reward .

Gives money .

Be gone .

Post exits .

KING LEWIS

But , Warwick ,
Thou and Oxford with five thousand men
Shall cross the seas and bid false Edward battle ;
And as occasion serves , this noble queen
And prince shall follow with a fresh supply .
Yet ere thou go , but answer me one doubt :
What pledge have we of thy firm loyalty ?

WARWICK

This shall assure my constant loyalty :
That if our queen and this young prince agree ,
I’ll join mine eldest daughter , and my joy ,
To him forthwith in holy wedlock bands .

QUEEN MARGARET

Yes , I agree , and thank you for your motion .
Son Edward , she is fair and virtuous .
Therefore , delay not ; give thy hand to Warwick ,
And with thy hand , thy faith irrevocable ,
That only Warwick’s daughter shall be thine .

PRINCE EDWARD

Yes , I accept her , for she well deserves it ,
And here , to pledge my vow , I give my hand .

He gives his hand to Warwick .

KING LEWIS

Why stay we now ? These soldiers shall be levied ,
And thou , Lord Bourbon , our High Admiral ,
Shall waft them over with our royal fleet .
I long till Edward fall by war’s mischance
For mocking marriage with a dame of France .

[159]ACT 3. SC. 3

All but Warwick exit .

WARWICK

I came from Edward as ambassador ,
But I return his sworn and mortal foe .
Matter of marriage was the charge he gave me ,
But dreadful war shall answer his demand .
Had he none else to make a stale but me ?
Then none but I shall turn his jest to sorrow .
I was the chief that raised him to the crown ,
And I’ll be chief to bring him down again :
Not that I pity Henry’s misery ,
But seek revenge on Edward’s mockery .

He exits .

ACT 4

Scene 1

Enter Richard of Gloucester , Clarence , Somerset ,
and Montague , all wearing the white rose .

RICHARD

Now tell me , brother Clarence , what think you
Of this new marriage with the Lady Grey ?
Hath not our brother made a worthy choice ?

CLARENCE

Alas , you know ’tis far from hence to France .
How could he stay till Warwick made return ?

Flourish .

SOMERSET

My lords , forbear this talk . Here comes the King .

RICHARD

And his well-chosen bride .

CLARENCE

I mind to tell him plainly what I think .

Enter King Edward , with Attendants ,
Lady Grey , now Queen Elizabeth , Pembroke , Stafford ,
Hastings , and others , all wearing the white rose .
Four stand on one side , and four on the other .

KING EDWARD

Now , brother of Clarence , how like you our choice ,
That you stand pensive , as half malcontent ?

CLARENCE

As well as Lewis of France or the Earl of Warwick ,
[165] ACT 4. SC. 1 Which are so weak of courage and in judgment
That they’ll take no offense at our abuse .

KING EDWARD

Suppose they take offense without a cause ,
They are but Lewis and Warwick ; I am Edward ,
Your king and Warwick’s , and must have my will .

RICHARD

And shall have your will because our king .
Yet hasty marriage seldom proveth well .

KING EDWARD

Yea , brother Richard , are you offended too ?

RICHARD

Not I .
No , God forbid that I should wish them severed
Whom God hath joined together . Ay , and ’twere pity
To sunder them that yoke so well together .

KING EDWARD

Setting your scorns and your mislike aside ,
Tell me some reason why the Lady Grey
Should not become my wife and England’s queen ?
And you too , Somerset and Montague ,
Speak freely what you think .

CLARENCE

Then this is mine opinion : that King Lewis
Becomes your enemy for mocking him
About the marriage of the Lady Bona .

RICHARD

And Warwick , doing what you gave in charge ,
Is now dishonorèd by this new marriage .

KING EDWARD

What if both Lewis and Warwick be appeased
By such invention as I can devise ?

MONTAGUE

Yet to have joined with France in such alliance
Would more have strengthened this our
commonwealth
’Gainst foreign storms than any home-bred marriage .

[167]ACT 4. SC. 1

HASTINGS

Why , knows not Montague that of itself
England is safe , if true within itself ?

MONTAGUE

But the safer when ’tis backed with France .

HASTINGS

’Tis better using France than trusting France .
Let us be backed with God and with the seas
Which He hath giv’n for fence impregnable ,
And with their helps only defend ourselves .
In them and in ourselves our safety lies .

CLARENCE

For this one speech , Lord Hastings well deserves
To have the heir of the Lord Hungerford .

KING EDWARD

Ay , what of that ? It was my will and grant ,
And for this once my will shall stand for law .

RICHARD

And yet methinks your Grace hath not done well
To give the heir and daughter of Lord Scales
Unto the brother of your loving bride .
She better would have fitted me or Clarence ;
But in your bride you bury brotherhood .

CLARENCE

Or else you would not have bestowed the heir
Of the Lord Bonville on your new wife’s son ,
And leave your brothers to go speed elsewhere .

KING EDWARD

Alas , poor Clarence , is it for a wife
That thou art malcontent ? I will provide thee .

CLARENCE

In choosing for yourself you showed your judgment ,
Which , being shallow , you shall give me leave
To play the broker in mine own behalf .
And to that end , I shortly mind to leave you .

[169]ACT 4. SC. 1

KING EDWARD

Leave me or tarry , Edward will be king
And not be tied unto his brother’s will .

QUEEN ELIZABETH

My lords , before it pleased his Majesty
To raise my state to title of a queen ,
Do me but right and you must all confess
That I was not ignoble of descent ,
And meaner than myself have had like fortune .
But as this title honors me and mine ,
So your dislikes , to whom I would be pleasing ,
Doth cloud my joys with danger and with sorrow .

KING EDWARD

My love , forbear to fawn upon their frowns .
What danger or what sorrow can befall thee
So long as Edward is thy constant friend
And their true sovereign , whom they must obey ?
Nay , whom they shall obey , and love thee too ,
Unless they seek for hatred at my hands ;
Which if they do , yet will I keep thee safe ,
And they shall feel the vengeance of my wrath .

RICHARD

, aside

I hear , yet say not much , but think the more .

Enter a Post .

KING EDWARD

Now , messenger , what letters or what news from
France ?

POST

My sovereign liege , no letters and few words
But such as I without your special pardon
Dare not relate .

KING EDWARD

Go to , we pardon thee . Therefore , in brief ,
Tell me their words as near as thou canst guess them .
What answer makes King Lewis unto our letters ?

[171]ACT 4. SC. 1

POST

At my depart , these were his very words :
‘Go tell false Edward , the supposèd king ,
That Lewis of France is sending over maskers
To revel it with him and his new bride .’

KING EDWARD

Is Lewis so brave ? Belike he thinks me Henry .
But what said Lady Bona to my marriage ?

POST

These were her words , uttered with mild disdain :
‘Tell him , in hope he’ll prove a widower shortly ,
I’ll wear the willow garland for his sake .’

KING EDWARD

I blame not her ; she could say little less ;
She had the wrong . But what said Henry’s queen ?
For I have heard that she was there in place .

POST

‘Tell him ,’ quoth she , ‘my mourning weeds are
done ,
And I am ready to put armor on .’

KING EDWARD

Belike she minds to play the Amazon .
But what said Warwick to these injuries ?

POST

He , more incensed against your Majesty
Than all the rest , discharged me with these words :
‘Tell him from me that he hath done me wrong ,
And therefore I’ll uncrown him ere ’t be long .’

KING EDWARD

Ha ! Durst the traitor breathe out so proud words ?
Well , I will arm me , being thus forewarned .
They shall have wars and pay for their presumption .
But say , is Warwick friends with Margaret ?

POST

Ay , gracious sovereign , they are so linked in
friendship
[173] ACT 4. SC. 1 That young Prince Edward marries Warwick’s
daughter .

CLARENCE

, aside

Belike the elder ; Clarence will have the younger . —
Now , brother king , farewell , and sit you fast ,
For I will hence to Warwick’s other daughter ,
That , though I want a kingdom , yet in marriage
I may not prove inferior to yourself .
You that love me and Warwick , follow me .

Clarence exits , and Somerset follows .

RICHARD

, aside

Not I . My thoughts aim at a further matter :
I stay not for the love of Edward , but the crown .

KING EDWARD

Clarence and Somerset both gone to Warwick ?
Yet am I armed against the worst can happen ,
And haste is needful in this desp’rate case .
Pembroke and Stafford , you in our behalf
Go levy men and make prepare for war .
They are already , or quickly will be , landed .
Myself in person will straight follow you .

Pembroke and Stafford exit .

But ere I go , Hastings and Montague ,
Resolve my doubt : you twain , of all the rest ,
Are near to Warwick by blood and by alliance .
Tell me if you love Warwick more than me .
If it be so , then both depart to him .
I rather wish you foes than hollow friends .
But if you mind to hold your true obedience ,
Give me assurance with some friendly vow ,
That I may never have you in suspect .

MONTAGUE

So God help Montague as he proves true !

HASTINGS

And Hastings as he favors Edward’s cause !

[175]ACT 4. SC. 2

KING EDWARD

Now , brother Richard , will you stand by us ?

RICHARD

Ay , in despite of all that shall withstand you .

KING EDWARD

Why , so . Then am I sure of victory .
Now therefore let us hence and lose no hour
Till we meet Warwick with his foreign power .

They exit .

Scene 2

Enter Warwick and Oxford in England ,
wearing the red rose , with French Soldiers .

WARWICK

Trust me , my lord , all hitherto goes well .
The common people by numbers swarm to us .

Enter Clarence and Somerset .

But see where Somerset and Clarence comes . —
Speak suddenly , my lords : are we all friends ?

CLARENCE

Fear not that , my lord .

WARWICK

Then , gentle Clarence , welcome unto Warwick ,
And welcome , Somerset . I hold it cowardice
To rest mistrustful where a noble heart
Hath pawned an open hand in sign of love ;
Else might I think that Clarence , Edward’s brother ,
Were but a feignèd friend to our proceedings .
But welcome , sweet Clarence ; my daughter shall be
thine .
And now , what rests but , in night’s coverture
Thy brother being carelessly encamped ,
His soldiers lurking in the town about ,
And but attended by a simple guard ,
[177] ACT 4. SC. 3 We may surprise and take him at our pleasure ?
Our scouts have found the adventure very easy ;
That , as Ulysses and stout Diomed
With sleight and manhood stole to Rhesus’ tents
And brought from thence the Thracian fatal steeds ,
So we , well covered with the night’s black mantle ,
At unawares may beat down Edward’s guard
And seize himself . I say not ‘slaughter him ,’
For I intend but only to surprise him .
You that will follow me to this attempt ,
Applaud the name of Henry with your leader .

They all cry ‘Henry !’

Why then , let’s on our way in silent sort .
For Warwick and his friends , God and Saint George !

They exit .

Scene 3

Enter three Watchmen to guard King Edward’s tent ,
all wearing the white rose .

FIRST WATCH

Come on , my masters , each man take his stand .
The King by this is set him down to sleep .

SECOND WATCH

What , will he not to bed ?

FIRST WATCH

Why , no , for he hath made a solemn vow
Never to lie and take his natural rest
Till Warwick or himself be quite suppressed .

SECOND WATCH

Tomorrow , then , belike shall be the day ,
If Warwick be so near as men report .

THIRD WATCH

But say , I pray , what nobleman is that
That with the King here resteth in his tent ?

[179]ACT 4. SC. 3

FIRST WATCH

’Tis the Lord Hastings , the King’s chiefest friend .

THIRD WATCH

O , is it so ? But why commands the King
That his chief followers lodge in towns about him ,
While he himself keeps in the cold field ?

SECOND WATCH

’Tis the more honor , because more dangerous .

THIRD WATCH

Ay , but give me worship and quietness ;
I like it better than a dangerous honor .
If Warwick knew in what estate he stands ,
’Tis to be doubted he would waken him .

FIRST WATCH

Unless our halberds did shut up his passage .

SECOND WATCH

Ay , wherefore else guard we his royal tent
But to defend his person from night foes ?

Enter Warwick , Clarence , Oxford , Somerset , all wearing
the red rose , and French Soldiers , silent all .

WARWICK

This is his tent , and see where stand his guard .
Courage , my masters . Honor , now or never !
But follow me , and Edward shall be ours .

FIRST WATCH

Who goes there ?

SECOND WATCH

Stay , or thou diest !

Warwick and the rest cry all ‘Warwick , Warwick !’

and set upon the guard ,

who fly , crying ‘Arm , Arm !’
Warwick and the rest following them .

The drum playing and trumpet sounding ,
enter Warwick , Somerset , and the rest , bringing
King Edward out in his gown , sitting in a chair .

Richard and Hastings flies over the stage .

[181]ACT 4. SC. 3

SOMERSET

What are they that fly there ?

WARWICK

Richard and Hastings .
Let them go . Here is the Duke .

KING EDWARD

The Duke ?
Why , Warwick , when we parted , thou call’dst me king .

WARWICK

Ay , but the case is altered .
When you disgraced me in my embassade ,
Then I degraded you from being king
And come now to create you Duke of York .
Alas , how should you govern any kingdom
That know not how to use ambassadors ,
Nor how to be contented with one wife ,
Nor how to use your brothers brotherly ,
Nor how to study for the people’s welfare ,
Nor how to shroud yourself from enemies ?

KING EDWARD

Yea , brother of Clarence , art thou here too ?
Nay , then , I see that Edward needs must down .
Yet , Warwick , in despite of all mischance ,
Of thee thyself and all thy complices ,
Edward will always bear himself as king .
Though Fortune’s malice overthrow my state ,
My mind exceeds the compass of her wheel .

WARWICK

Then for his mind be Edward England’s king ,

Takes off his crown .

But Henry now shall wear the English crown
And be true king indeed , thou but the shadow . —
My lord of Somerset , at my request ,
See that forthwith Duke Edward be conveyed
Unto my brother , Archbishop of York .
When I have fought with Pembroke and his fellows ,
I’ll follow you and tell what answer
Lewis and the Lady Bona send to him . —
Now for awhile farewell , good Duke of York .

[183]ACT 4. SC. 4

They begin to lead him out forcibly .

KING EDWARD

What Fates impose , that men must needs abide ;
It boots not to resist both wind and tide .

Somerset and Soldiers exit , guarding King Edward .

OXFORD

What now remains , my lords , for us to do
But march to London with our soldiers ?

WARWICK

Ay , that’s the first thing that we have to do ,
To free King Henry from imprisonment
And see him seated in the regal throne .

They exit .

Scene 4

Enter Rivers and Queen Elizabeth ,
wearing the white rose .

RIVERS

Madam , what makes you in this sudden change ?

QUEEN ELIZABETH

Why , brother Rivers , are you yet to learn
What late misfortune is befall’n King Edward ?

RIVERS

What , loss of some pitched battle against Warwick ?

QUEEN ELIZABETH

No , but the loss of his own royal person .

RIVERS

Then is my sovereign slain ?

QUEEN ELIZABETH

Ay , almost slain , for he is taken prisoner ,
Either betrayed by falsehood of his guard
Or by his foe surprised at unawares ;
And , as I further have to understand ,
Is new committed to the Bishop of York ,
Fell Warwick’s brother and by that our foe .

[185]ACT 4. SC. 4

RIVERS

These news I must confess are full of grief ;
Yet , gracious madam , bear it as you may .
Warwick may lose that now hath won the day .

QUEEN ELIZABETH

Till then fair hope must hinder life’s decay ;
And I the rather wean me from despair
For love of Edward’s offspring in my womb .
This is it that makes me bridle passion
And bear with mildness my misfortune’s cross .
Ay , ay , for this I draw in many a tear
And stop the rising of blood-sucking sighs ,
Lest with my sighs or tears I blast or drown
King Edward’s fruit , true heir to th’ English crown .

RIVERS

But , madam , where is Warwick then become ?

QUEEN ELIZABETH

I am informèd that he comes towards London
To set the crown once more on Henry’s head .
Guess thou the rest : King Edward’s friends must
down .
But to prevent the tyrant’s violence —
For trust not him that hath once broken faith —
I’ll hence forthwith unto the sanctuary
To save at least the heir of Edward’s right .
There shall I rest secure from force and fraud .
Come , therefore , let us fly while we may fly .
If Warwick take us , we are sure to die .

They exit .

[187]ACT 4. SC. 5

Scene 5

Enter Richard of Gloucester , Lord Hastings ,
and Sir William Stanley , with Soldiers ,
all wearing the white rose .

RICHARD

Now , my Lord Hastings and Sir William Stanley ,
Leave off to wonder why I drew you hither
Into this chiefest thicket of the park .
Thus stands the case : you know our king , my brother ,
Is prisoner to the Bishop here , at whose hands
He hath good usage and great liberty ,
And , often but attended with weak guard ,
Comes hunting this way to disport himself .
I have advertised him by secret means
That , if about this hour he make this way
Under the color of his usual game ,
He shall here find his friends with horse and men
To set him free from his captivity .

Enter King Edward , wearing the white rose ,
and a Huntsman with him .

HUNTSMAN

This way , my lord , for this way lies the game .

KING EDWARD

Nay , this way , man . See where the huntsmen stand . —
Now , brother of Gloucester , Lord Hastings , and the
rest ,
Stand you thus close to steal the Bishop’s deer ?

RICHARD

Brother , the time and case requireth haste .
Your horse stands ready at the park corner .

KING EDWARD

But whither shall we then ?

HASTINGS

To Lynn , my lord , and shipped from thence
to Flanders .

[189]ACT 4. SC. 6

RICHARD

Well guessed , believe me , for that was my meaning .

KING EDWARD

Stanley , I will requite thy forwardness .

RICHARD

But wherefore stay we ? ’Tis no time to talk .

KING EDWARD

Huntsman , what sayst thou ? Wilt thou go along ?

HUNTSMAN

Better do so than tarry and be hanged .

RICHARD

Come then , away ! Let’s ha’ no more ado .

KING EDWARD

Bishop , farewell ; shield thee from Warwick’s frown ,
And pray that I may repossess the crown .

They exit .

Scene 6

Flourish . Enter King Henry the Sixth , Clarence ,
Warwick , Somerset , young Henry Earl of Richmond ,
Oxford , Montague , all wearing the red rose ,
and Lieutenant of the Tower .

KING HENRY

Master lieutenant , now that God and friends
Have shaken Edward from the regal seat
And turned my captive state to liberty ,
My fear to hope , my sorrows unto joys ,
At our enlargement what are thy due fees ?

LIEUTENANT

Subjects may challenge nothing of their sov’reigns ,
But , if an humble prayer may prevail ,
I then crave pardon of your Majesty .

KING HENRY

For what , lieutenant ? For well using me ?
[191] ACT 4. SC. 6 Nay , be thou sure I’ll well requite thy kindness ,
For that it made my imprisonment a pleasure ,
Ay , such a pleasure as encagèd birds
Conceive when , after many moody thoughts ,
At last by notes of household harmony
They quite forget their loss of liberty . —
But , Warwick , after God thou sett’st me free ,
And chiefly , therefore , I thank God and thee .
He was the author , thou the instrument .
Therefore , that I may conquer Fortune’s spite
By living low where Fortune cannot hurt me ,
And that the people of this blessèd land
May not be punished with my thwarting stars ,
Warwick , although my head still wear the crown ,
I here resign my government to thee ,
For thou art fortunate in all thy deeds .

WARWICK

Your Grace hath still been famed for virtuous
And now may seem as wise as virtuous
By spying and avoiding Fortune’s malice ,
For few men rightly temper with the stars .
Yet , in this one thing let me blame your Grace :
For choosing me when Clarence is in place .

CLARENCE

No , Warwick , thou art worthy of the sway ,
To whom the heav’ns in thy nativity
Adjudged an olive branch and laurel crown
As likely to be blest in peace and war ;
And therefore I yield thee my free consent .

WARWICK

And I choose Clarence only for Protector .

KING HENRY

Warwick and Clarence , give me both your hands .
Now join your hands , and with your hands your
hearts ,
That no dissension hinder government .
[193] ACT 4. SC. 6

He joins their hands .

I make you both Protectors of this land ,
While I myself will lead a private life
And in devotion spend my latter days ,
To sin’s rebuke and my Creator’s praise .

WARWICK

What answers Clarence to his sovereign’s will ?

CLARENCE

That he consents , if Warwick yield consent ,
For on thy fortune I repose myself .

WARWICK

Why , then , though loath , yet must I be content .
We’ll yoke together like a double shadow
To Henry’s body , and supply his place —
I mean , in bearing weight of government —
While he enjoys the honor and his ease .
And , Clarence , now then it is more than needful
Forthwith that Edward be pronounced a traitor
And all his lands and goods be confiscate .

CLARENCE

What else ? And that succession be determinèd .

WARWICK

Ay , therein Clarence shall not want his part .

KING HENRY

But with the first of all your chief affairs
Let me entreat — for I command no more —
That Margaret your queen and my son Edward
Be sent for , to return from France with speed ,
For till I see them here , by doubtful fear
My joy of liberty is half eclipsed .

CLARENCE

It shall be done , my sovereign , with all speed .

KING HENRY

My lord of Somerset , what youth is that
Of whom you seem to have so tender care ?

[195]ACT 4. SC. 6

SOMERSET

My liege , it is young Henry , Earl of Richmond .

KING HENRY

, to Richmond

Come hither , England’s hope .

Lays his hand on Richmond’s head .

If secret powers
Suggest but truth to my divining thoughts ,
This pretty lad will prove our country’s bliss .
His looks are full of peaceful majesty ,
His head by nature framed to wear a crown ,
His hand to wield a scepter , and himself
Likely in time to bless a regal throne .
Make much of him , my lords , for this is he
Must help you more than you are hurt by me .

Enter a Post .

WARWICK

What news , my friend ?

POST

That Edward is escapèd from your brother
And fled , as he hears since , to Burgundy .

WARWICK

Unsavory news ! But how made he escape ?

POST

He was conveyed by Richard , Duke of Gloucester ,
And the Lord Hastings , who attended him
In secret ambush on the forest side
And from the Bishop’s huntsmen rescued him ,
For hunting was his daily exercise .

WARWICK

My brother was too careless of his charge .
But let us hence , my sovereign , to provide
A salve for any sore that may betide .

All but Somerset , Richmond , and Oxford exit .

SOMERSET

, to Oxford

My lord , I like not of this flight of Edward’s ,
For doubtless Burgundy will yield him help ,
[197] ACT 4. SC. 7 And we shall have more wars before ’t be long .
As Henry’s late presaging prophecy
Did glad my heart with hope of this young
Richmond ,
So doth my heart misgive me in these conflicts
What may befall him , to his harm and ours .
Therefore , Lord Oxford , to prevent the worst ,
Forthwith we’ll send him hence to Brittany
Till storms be past of civil enmity .

OXFORD

Ay , for if Edward repossess the crown ,
’Tis like that Richmond , with the rest , shall down .

SOMERSET

It shall be so . He shall to Brittany .
Come , therefore , let’s about it speedily .

They exit .

Scene 7

Flourish . Enter King Edward , Richard , Hastings ,
and Soldiers , all wearing the white rose .

KING EDWARD

Now , brother Richard , Lord Hastings , and the rest :
Yet thus far Fortune maketh us amends ,
And says that once more I shall interchange
My wanèd state for Henry’s regal crown .
Well have we passed , and now re-passed , the seas ,
And brought desirèd help from Burgundy .
What then remains , we being thus arrived
From Ravenspurgh Haven before the gates of York ,
But that we enter as into our dukedom ?

Hastings knocks at the gate .

RICHARD

The gates made fast ? Brother , I like not this .
[199] ACT 4. SC. 7 For many men that stumble at the threshold
Are well foretold that danger lurks within .

KING EDWARD

Tush , man , abodements must not now affright us .
By fair or foul means we must enter in ,
For hither will our friends repair to us .

HASTINGS

My liege , I’ll knock once more to summon them .

He knocks .

Enter on the walls the Mayor of York and his brethren ,
the Aldermen .

MAYOR

My lords , we were forewarnèd of your coming ,
And shut the gates for safety of ourselves ,
For now we owe allegiance unto Henry .

KING EDWARD

But , master mayor , if Henry be your king ,
Yet Edward , at the least , is Duke of York .

MAYOR

True , my good lord , I know you for no less .

KING EDWARD

Why , and I challenge nothing but my dukedom ,
As being well content with that alone .

RICHARD

, aside

But when the fox hath once got in his nose ,
He’ll soon find means to make the body follow .

HASTINGS

Why , master mayor , why stand you in a doubt ?
Open the gates . We are King Henry’s friends .

MAYOR

Ay , say you so ? The gates shall then be opened .

He descends with the Aldermen .

RICHARD

A wise stout captain , and soon persuaded .

[201]ACT 4. SC. 7

HASTINGS

The good old man would fain that all were well ,
So ’twere not long of him ; but being entered ,
I doubt not , I , but we shall soon persuade
Both him and all his brothers unto reason .

Enter the Mayor and two Aldermen .

KING EDWARD

So , master mayor , these gates must not be shut
But in the night or in the time of war .
What , fear not , man , but yield me up the keys .

Takes his keys .

For Edward will defend the town and thee
And all those friends that deign to follow me .

March . Enter Montgomery , with Drum and Soldiers .

RICHARD

Brother , this is Sir John Montgomery ,
Our trusty friend , unless I be deceived .

KING EDWARD

Welcome , Sir John . But why come you in arms ?

MONTGOMERY

To help King Edward in his time of storm ,
As every loyal subject ought to do .

KING EDWARD

Thanks , good Montgomery . But we now forget
Our title to the crown , and only claim
Our dukedom , till God please to send the rest .

MONTGOMERY

Then fare you well , for I will hence again .
I came to serve a king and not a duke . —
Drummer , strike up , and let us march away .

The Drum begins to march .

KING EDWARD

Nay , stay , Sir John , a while , and we’ll debate
By what safe means the crown may be recovered .

[203]ACT 4. SC. 7

MONTGOMERY

What talk you of debating ? In few words ,
If you’ll not here proclaim yourself our king ,
I’ll leave you to your fortune and be gone
To keep them back that come to succor you .
Why shall we fight if you pretend no title ?

RICHARD

Why , brother , wherefore stand you on nice points ?

KING EDWARD

When we grow stronger , then we’ll make our claim .
Till then ’tis wisdom to conceal our meaning .

HASTINGS

Away with scrupulous wit ! Now arms must rule .

RICHARD

And fearless minds climb soonest unto crowns .
Brother , we will proclaim you out of hand ;
The bruit thereof will bring you many friends .

KING EDWARD

Then be it as you will , for ’tis my right ,
And Henry but usurps the diadem .

MONTGOMERY

Ay , now my sovereign speaketh like himself ,
And now will I be Edward’s champion .

HASTINGS

Sound , trumpet ! Edward shall be here proclaimed . —
Come , fellow soldier , make thou proclamation .

Flourish . Sound .

SOLDIER

reads

Edward the Fourth , by the Grace of
God , King of England and France , and Lord of
Ireland , &c .

MONTGOMERY

And whosoe’er gainsays King Edward’s right ,
By this I challenge him to single fight .

Throws down his gauntlet .

ALL

Long live Edward the Fourth !

[205]ACT 4. SC. 8

KING EDWARD

Thanks , brave Montgomery , and thanks unto you all .
If fortune serve me , I’ll requite this kindness .
Now , for this night let’s harbor here in York ,
And when the morning sun shall raise his car
Above the border of this horizon ,
We’ll forward towards Warwick and his mates ;
For well I wot that Henry is no soldier .
Ah , froward Clarence , how evil it beseems thee
To flatter Henry and forsake thy brother !
Yet , as we may , we’ll meet both thee and Warwick .
Come on , brave soldiers ; doubt not of the day ;
And that once gotten , doubt not of large pay .

They exit .

Scene 8

Flourish . Enter King Henry , Warwick , Montague ,
Clarence , Oxford , and Exeter , all wearing the red rose .

WARWICK

What counsel , lords ? Edward from Belgia ,
With hasty Germans and blunt Hollanders ,
Hath passed in safety through the Narrow Seas ,
And with his troops doth march amain to London ,
And many giddy people flock to him .

KING HENRY

Let’s levy men and beat him back again .

CLARENCE

A little fire is quickly trodden out ,
Which , being suffered , rivers cannot quench .

WARWICK

In Warwickshire I have true-hearted friends ,
Not mutinous in peace yet bold in war .
Those will I muster up ; and thou , son Clarence ,
Shalt stir up in Suffolk , Norfolk , and in Kent
[207] ACT 4. SC. 8 The knights and gentlemen to come with thee . —
Thou , brother Montague , in Buckingham ,
Northampton , and in Leicestershire shalt find
Men well inclined to hear what thou command’st . —
And thou , brave Oxford , wondrous well beloved ,
In Oxfordshire shalt muster up thy friends . —
My sovereign , with the loving citizens ,
Like to his island girt in with the ocean ,
Or modest Dian circled with her nymphs ,
Shall rest in London till we come to him .
Fair lords , take leave , and stand not to reply . —
Farewell , my sovereign .

KING HENRY

Farewell , my Hector and my Troy’s true hope .

CLARENCE

In sign of truth , I kiss your Highness’ hand .

KING HENRY

Well-minded Clarence , be thou fortunate .

MONTAGUE

Comfort , my lord ; and so I take my leave .

OXFORD

And thus I seal my truth , and bid adieu .

He kisses Henry’s hand .

KING HENRY

Sweet Oxford and my loving Montague
And all at once , once more a happy farewell .

WARWICK

Farewell , sweet lords . Let’s meet at Coventry .

All but King Henry and Exeter exit .

KING HENRY

Here at the palace will I rest awhile .
Cousin of Exeter , what thinks your Lordship ?
Methinks the power that Edward hath in field
Should not be able to encounter mine .

EXETER

The doubt is that he will seduce the rest .

[209]ACT 4. SC. 8

KING HENRY

That’s not my fear . My meed hath got me fame .
I have not stopped mine ears to their demands ,
Nor posted off their suits with slow delays .
My pity hath been balm to heal their wounds ,
My mildness hath allayed their swelling griefs ,
My mercy dried their water-flowing tears .
I have not been desirous of their wealth
Nor much oppressed them with great subsidies ,
Nor forward of revenge , though they much erred .
Then why should they love Edward more than me ?
No , Exeter , these graces challenge grace ;
And when the lion fawns upon the lamb ,
The lamb will never cease to follow him .

Shout within ‘À York ! À York !’

EXETER

Hark , hark , my lord , what shouts are these ?

Enter King Edward and Richard and Soldiers ,
all wearing the white rose .

KING EDWARD

Seize on the shamefaced Henry , bear him hence ,
And once again proclaim us King of England . —
You are the fount that makes small brooks to flow .
Now stops thy spring ; my sea shall suck them dry
And swell so much the higher by their ebb . —
Hence with him to the Tower . Let him not speak .

Soldiers exit with King Henry and Exeter .

And , lords , towards Coventry bend we our course ,
Where peremptory Warwick now remains .
The sun shines hot , and if we use delay ,
Cold biting winter mars our hoped-for hay .

RICHARD

Away betimes , before his forces join ,
And take the great-grown traitor unawares .
Brave warriors , march amain towards Coventry .

They exit .

ACT 5

Scene 1

Enter Warwick , wearing the red rose , the Mayor of
Coventry , two Messengers , and others , upon the walls .

WARWICK

Where is the post that came from valiant Oxford ? —
How far hence is thy lord , mine honest fellow ?

FIRST MESSENGER

By this at Dunsmore , marching hitherward .

He exits .

WARWICK

How far off is our brother Montague ?
Where is the post that came from Montague ?

SECOND MESSENGER

By this at Daintry , with a puissant troop .

He exits .

Enter , upon the walls , Somerville
wearing the red rose .

WARWICK

Say , Somerville , what says my loving son ?
And , by thy guess , how nigh is Clarence now ?

SOMERVILLE

At Southam I did leave him with his forces
And do expect him here some two hours hence .

Drum offstage .

WARWICK

Then Clarence is at hand ; I hear his drum .

[215]ACT 5. SC. 1

SOMERVILLE

It is not his , my lord ; here Southam lies .
The drum your Honor hears marcheth from Warwick .

WARWICK

Who should that be ? Belike unlooked-for friends .

SOMERVILLE

They are at hand , and you shall quickly know .

March . Flourish . Enter below , King Edward ,
Richard , and Soldiers , including a Trumpeter ,
all wearing the white rose .

KING EDWARD

Go , Trumpet , to the walls , and sound a parle .

RICHARD

See how the surly Warwick mans the wall .

WARWICK

O unbid spite , is sportful Edward come ?
Where slept our scouts , or how are they seduced ,
That we could hear no news of his repair ?

KING EDWARD

Now , Warwick , wilt thou ope the city gates ,
Speak gentle words , and humbly bend thy knee ?
Call Edward king , and at his hands beg mercy ,
And he shall pardon thee these outrages .

WARWICK

Nay , rather wilt thou draw thy forces hence ,
Confess who set thee up and plucked thee down ,
Call Warwick patron , and be penitent ,
And thou shalt still remain the Duke of York .

RICHARD

I thought at least he would have said ‘the King .’
Or did he make the jest against his will ?

WARWICK

Is not a dukedom , sir , a goodly gift ?

[217]ACT 5. SC. 1

RICHARD

Ay , by my faith , for a poor earl to give .
I’ll do thee service for so good a gift .

WARWICK

’Twas I that gave the kingdom to thy brother .

KING EDWARD

Why , then , ’tis mine , if but by Warwick’s gift .

WARWICK

Thou art no Atlas for so great a weight ;
And , weakling , Warwick takes his gift again ,
And Henry is my king , Warwick his subject .

KING EDWARD

But Warwick’s king is Edward’s prisoner .
And , gallant Warwick , do but answer this :
What is the body when the head is off ?

RICHARD

Alas , that Warwick had no more forecast ,
But whiles he thought to steal the single ten ,
The King was slyly fingered from the deck .
You left poor Henry at the Bishop’s palace ,
And ten to one you’ll meet him in the Tower .

KING EDWARD

’Tis even so ; yet you are Warwick still .

RICHARD

Come , Warwick , take the time ; kneel down , kneel
down .
Nay , when ? Strike now , or else the iron cools .

WARWICK

I had rather chop this hand off at a blow
And with the other fling it at thy face
Than bear so low a sail to strike to thee .

KING EDWARD

Sail how thou canst , have wind and tide thy friend ,
This hand , fast wound about thy coal-black hair ,
Shall , whiles thy head is warm and new cut off ,
Write in the dust this sentence with thy blood :
‘Wind-changing Warwick now can change no more .’

[219]ACT 5. SC. 1

Enter Oxford , below , wearing the red rose ,
with Soldiers , Drum and Colors .

WARWICK

O , cheerful colors , see where Oxford comes !

OXFORD

Oxford , Oxford for Lancaster !

Oxford and his troops exit as through a city gate .

RICHARD

The gates are open ; let us enter too .

KING EDWARD

So other foes may set upon our backs .
Stand we in good array , for they no doubt
Will issue out again and bid us battle .
If not , the city being but of small defense ,
We’ll quickly rouse the traitors in the same .

Oxford enters aloft .

WARWICK

O welcome , Oxford , for we want thy help .

Enter Montague , below , wearing the red rose ,
with Soldiers , Drum and Colors .

MONTAGUE

Montague , Montague for Lancaster !

RICHARD

Thou and thy brother both shall buy this treason
Even with the dearest blood your bodies bear !

Montague and his troops exit as through a city gate .

KING EDWARD

The harder matched , the greater victory .
My mind presageth happy gain and conquest .

Enter Somerset , below , wearing the red rose ,
with Soldiers , Drum and Colors .

SOMERSET

Somerset , Somerset for Lancaster !

[221]ACT 5. SC. 1

RICHARD

Two of thy name , both dukes of Somerset ,
Have sold their lives unto the house of York ,
And thou shalt be the third , if this sword hold .

Somerset and his troops exit as through a city gate .

Enter Clarence , below , wearing the red rose ,
with Soldiers , Drum and Colors .

WARWICK

And lo , where George of Clarence sweeps along ,
Of force enough to bid his brother battle ,
With whom an upright zeal to right prevails
More than the nature of a brother’s love . —
Come , Clarence , come ; thou wilt , if Warwick call .

CLARENCE

Father of Warwick , know you what this means ?

He removes the red rose .

Look , here I throw my infamy at thee .

He throws the rose at Warwick .

I will not ruinate my father’s house ,
Who gave his blood to lime the stones together
And set up Lancaster . Why , trowest thou , Warwick ,
That Clarence is so harsh , so blunt , unnatural ,
To bend the fatal instruments of war
Against his brother and his lawful king ?
Perhaps thou wilt object my holy oath .
To keep that oath were more impiety
Than Jephthah when he sacrificed his daughter .
I am so sorry for my trespass made
That , to deserve well at my brother’s hands ,
I here proclaim myself thy mortal foe ,
With resolution , wheresoe’er I meet thee —
As I will meet thee if thou stir abroad —
To plague thee for thy foul misleading me .
And so , proud-hearted Warwick , I defy thee
And to my brother turn my blushing cheeks . —
[223] ACT 5. SC. 2 Pardon me , Edward , I will make amends . —
And , Richard , do not frown upon my faults ,
For I will henceforth be no more unconstant .

KING EDWARD

Now , welcome more , and ten times more beloved ,
Than if thou never hadst deserved our hate .

RICHARD

Welcome , good Clarence ; this is brother-like .

WARWICK

O , passing traitor , perjured and unjust .

KING EDWARD

What , Warwick , wilt thou leave the town and fight ?
Or shall we beat the stones about thine ears ?

WARWICK

Alas , I am not cooped here for defense .
I will away towards Barnet presently
And bid thee battle , Edward , if thou dar’st .

KING EDWARD

Yes , Warwick , Edward dares , and leads the way . —

Warwick exits from the walls and descends .

Lords , to the field ! Saint George and victory !

They exit . March .

Warwick and his company follows .

Scene 2

Alarum and excursions .

Enter King Edward ,
wearing the white rose , bringing forth Warwick ,
wearing the red rose , wounded .

KING EDWARD

So , lie thou there . Die thou , and die our fear ,
For Warwick was a bug that feared us all .
Now , Montague , sit fast . I seek for thee ,
That Warwick’s bones may keep thine company .

He exits .

[225]ACT 5. SC. 2

WARWICK

Ah , who is nigh ? Come to me , friend or foe ,
And tell me who is victor , York or Warwick ?
Why ask I that ? My mangled body shows ,
My blood , my want of strength , my sick heart shows
That I must yield my body to the earth
And , by my fall , the conquest to my foe .
Thus yields the cedar to the axe’s edge ,
Whose arms gave shelter to the princely eagle ,
Under whose shade the ramping lion slept ,
Whose top branch overpeered Jove’s spreading tree
And kept low shrubs from winter’s pow’rful wind .
These eyes , that now are dimmed with death’s black
veil ,
Have been as piercing as the midday sun
To search the secret treasons of the world .
The wrinkles in my brows , now filled with blood ,
Were likened oft to kingly sepulchers ,
For who lived king but I could dig his grave ?
And who durst smile when Warwick bent his brow ?
Lo , now my glory smeared in dust and blood !
My parks , my walks , my manors that I had
Even now forsake me ; and of all my lands
Is nothing left me but my body’s length .
Why , what is pomp , rule , reign , but earth and dust ?
And live we how we can , yet die we must .

Enter Oxford and Somerset , both wearing the red rose .

SOMERSET

Ah , Warwick , Warwick , wert thou as we are ,
We might recover all our loss again .
The Queen from France hath brought a puissant
power ;
Even now we heard the news . Ah , could’st thou fly —

WARWICK

Why , then , I would not fly . Ah , Montague ,
[227] ACT 5. SC. 3 If thou be there , sweet brother , take my hand
And with thy lips keep in my soul awhile .
Thou lov’st me not , for , brother , if thou didst ,
Thy tears would wash this cold congealèd blood
That glues my lips and will not let me speak .
Come quickly , Montague , or I am dead .

SOMERSET

Ah , Warwick , Montague hath breathed his last ,
And to the latest gasp cried out for Warwick ,
And said ‘Commend me to my valiant brother .’
And more he would have said , and more he spoke ,
Which sounded like a cannon in a vault ,
That mought not be distinguished , but at last
I well might hear , delivered with a groan ,
‘O , farewell , Warwick .’

WARWICK

Sweet rest his soul ! Fly , lords , and save yourselves ,
For Warwick bids you all farewell to meet in heaven .

He dies .

OXFORD

Away , away , to meet the Queen’s great power !

Here they bear away his body . They exit .

Scene 3

Flourish . Enter King Edward in triumph , with Richard ,
Clarence , and the rest , all wearing the white rose .

KING EDWARD

Thus far our fortune keeps an upward course ,
And we are graced with wreaths of victory .
But in the midst of this bright-shining day ,
I spy a black suspicious threat’ning cloud
That will encounter with our glorious sun
Ere he attain his easeful western bed .
I mean , my lords , those powers that the Queen
[229] ACT 5. SC. 4 Hath raised in Gallia have arrived our coast
And , as we hear , march on to fight with us .

CLARENCE

A little gale will soon disperse that cloud
And blow it to the source from whence it came ;
Thy very beams will dry those vapors up ,
For every cloud engenders not a storm .

RICHARD

The Queen is valued thirty thousand strong ,
And Somerset , with Oxford , fled to her .
If she have time to breathe , be well assured
Her faction will be full as strong as ours .

KING EDWARD

We are advertised by our loving friends
That they do hold their course toward Tewkesbury .
We having now the best at Barnet Field
Will thither straight , for willingness rids way ,
And , as we march , our strength will be augmented
In every county as we go along .
Strike up the drum , cry ‘Courage !’ and away .

They exit .

Scene 4

Flourish . March . Enter Queen Margaret ,
young Prince Edward , Somerset , Oxford ,
and Soldiers , all wearing the red rose .

QUEEN MARGARET

Great lords , wise men ne’er sit and wail their loss
But cheerly seek how to redress their harms .
What though the mast be now blown overboard ,
The cable broke , the holding-anchor lost ,
And half our sailors swallowed in the flood ?
Yet lives our pilot still . Is ’t meet that he
Should leave the helm and , like a fearful lad ,
[231] ACT 5. SC. 4 With tearful eyes add water to the sea
And give more strength to that which hath too much ,
Whiles in his moan the ship splits on the rock ,
Which industry and courage might have saved ?
Ah , what a shame , ah , what a fault were this !
Say Warwick was our anchor ; what of that ?
And Montague our topmast ; what of him ?
Our slaughtered friends the tackles ; what of these ?
Why , is not Oxford here another anchor ?
And Somerset another goodly mast ?
The friends of France our shrouds and tacklings ?
And , though unskillful , why not Ned and I
For once allowed the skillful pilot’s charge ?
We will not from the helm to sit and weep ,
But keep our course , though the rough wind say no ,
From shelves and rocks that threaten us with wrack .
As good to chide the waves as speak them fair .
And what is Edward but a ruthless sea ?
What Clarence but a quicksand of deceit ?
And Richard but a ragged fatal rock —
All these the enemies to our poor bark ?
Say you can swim : alas , ’tis but awhile ;
Tread on the sand : why , there you quickly sink ;
Bestride the rock : the tide will wash you off
Or else you famish ; that’s a threefold death .
This speak I , lords , to let you understand ,
If case some one of you would fly from us ,
That there’s no hoped-for mercy with the brothers
More than with ruthless waves , with sands and rocks .
Why , courage then ! What cannot be avoided
’Twere childish weakness to lament or fear .

PRINCE EDWARD

Methinks a woman of this valiant spirit
Should , if a coward heard her speak these words ,
Infuse his breast with magnanimity
And make him , naked , foil a man-at-arms .
[233] ACT 5. SC. 4 I speak not this as doubting any here ,
For did I but suspect a fearful man ,
He should have leave to go away betimes ,
Lest in our need he might infect another
And make him of like spirit to himself .
If any such be here , as God forbid ,
Let him depart before we need his help .

OXFORD

Women and children of so high a courage ,
And warriors faint ? Why , ’twere perpetual shame !
O , brave young prince , thy famous grandfather
Doth live again in thee . Long mayst thou live
To bear his image and renew his glories !

SOMERSET

And he that will not fight for such a hope ,
Go home to bed and , like the owl by day ,
If he arise , be mocked and wondered at .

QUEEN MARGARET

Thanks , gentle Somerset . — Sweet Oxford , thanks .

PRINCE EDWARD

And take his thanks that yet hath nothing else .

Enter a Messenger .

MESSENGER

Prepare you , lords , for Edward is at hand ,
Ready to fight . Therefore be resolute .

He exits .

OXFORD

I thought no less . It is his policy
To haste thus fast to find us unprovided .

SOMERSET

But he’s deceived . We are in readiness .

QUEEN MARGARET

This cheers my heart to see your forwardness .

OXFORD

Here pitch our battle ; hence we will not budge .

[235]ACT 5. SC. 5

Flourish , and march . Enter King Edward , Richard ,
Clarence , and Soldiers , all wearing the white rose .

KING EDWARD

, to his army

Brave followers , yonder stands the thorny wood
Which by the heavens’ assistance and your strength
Must by the roots be hewn up yet ere night .
I need not add more fuel to your fire ,
For , well I wot , you blaze to burn them out .
Give signal to the fight , and to it , lords !

QUEEN MARGARET

, to her army

Lords , knights , and gentlemen , what I should say
My tears gainsay , for every word I speak
You see I drink the water of my eye .
Therefore , no more but this : Henry , your sovereign ,
Is prisoner to the foe , his state usurped ,
His realm a slaughterhouse , his subjects slain ,
His statutes cancelled and his treasure spent ,
And yonder is the wolf that makes this spoil .
You fight in justice . Then , in God’s name , lords ,
Be valiant , and give signal to the fight !

Alarum , retreat , excursions .

They exit .

Scene 5

Flourish . Enter King Edward , Richard , and
Clarence , all wearing the white rose , with Soldiers
guarding Queen Margaret , Oxford , and Somerset ,
all wearing the red rose , prisoners .

KING EDWARD

Now here a period of tumultuous broils .
Away with Oxford to Hames Castle straight .
For Somerset , off with his guilty head .
Go bear them hence . I will not hear them speak .

[237]ACT 5. SC. 5

OXFORD

For my part , I’ll not trouble thee with words .

SOMERSET

Nor I , but stoop with patience to my fortune .

QUEEN MARGARET

So part we sadly in this troublous world
To meet with joy in sweet Jerusalem .

Oxford and Somerset exit , under guard .

KING EDWARD

Is proclamation made that who finds Edward
Shall have a high reward , and he his life ?

RICHARD

It is , and lo where youthful Edward comes .

Enter Prince Edward , wearing the red rose ,
under guard .

KING EDWARD

Bring forth the gallant ; let us hear him speak .
What , can so young a thorn begin to prick ? —
Edward , what satisfaction canst thou make
For bearing arms , for stirring up my subjects ,
And all the trouble thou hast turned me to ?

PRINCE EDWARD

Speak like a subject , proud ambitious York .
Suppose that I am now my father’s mouth :
Resign thy chair , and where I stand , kneel thou ,
Whilst I propose the selfsame words to thee
Which , traitor , thou wouldst have me answer to .

QUEEN MARGARET

Ah , that thy father had been so resolved !

RICHARD

That you might still have worn the petticoat
And ne’er have stol’n the breech from Lancaster .

PRINCE EDWARD

Let Aesop fable in a winter’s night ;
His currish riddles sorts not with this place .

[239]ACT 5. SC. 5

RICHARD

By heaven , brat , I’ll plague you for that word .

QUEEN MARGARET

Ay , thou wast born to be a plague to men .

RICHARD

For God’s sake , take away this captive scold .

PRINCE EDWARD

Nay , take away this scolding crookback , rather .

KING EDWARD

Peace , willful boy , or I will charm your tongue .

CLARENCE

, to Prince Edward

Untutored lad , thou art too malapert .

PRINCE EDWARD

I know my duty . You are all undutiful .
Lascivious Edward , and thou perjured George ,
And thou misshapen Dick , I tell you all
I am your better , traitors as you are ,
And thou usurp’st my father’s right and mine .

KING EDWARD

Take that , the likeness of this railer here !

Stabs him .

RICHARD

Sprawl’st thou ? Take that to end thy agony !

Richard stabs him .

CLARENCE

And there’s for twitting me with perjury .

Clarence stabs him .

QUEEN MARGARET

O , kill me too !

RICHARD

Marry , and shall .

Offers to kill her .

KING EDWARD

Hold , Richard , hold , for we have done too much .

RICHARD

Why should she live to fill the world with words ?

Queen Margaret faints .

KING EDWARD

What , doth she swoon ? Use means for her recovery .

They attempt to revive her .

[241]ACT 5. SC. 5

RICHARD

, taking Clarence aside

Clarence , excuse me to the King my brother .
I’ll hence to London on a serious matter .
Ere you come there , be sure to hear some news .

CLARENCE

What ? What ?

RICHARD

The Tower , the Tower !

He exits .

QUEEN MARGARET

, rising from her swoon

O Ned , sweet Ned , speak to thy mother , boy .
Canst thou not speak ? O traitors , murderers !
They that stabbed Caesar shed no blood at all ,
Did not offend , nor were not worthy blame ,
If this foul deed were by to equal it .
He was a man ; this , in respect , a child ,
And men ne’er spend their fury on a child .
What’s worse than murderer , that I may name it ?
No , no , my heart will burst an if I speak ,
And I will speak , that so my heart may burst .
Butchers and villains , bloody cannibals ,
How sweet a plant have you untimely cropped !
You have no children , butchers . If you had ,
The thought of them would have stirred up remorse .
But if you ever chance to have a child ,
Look in his youth to have him so cut off
As , deathsmen , you have rid this sweet young prince .

KING EDWARD

Away with her . Go bear her hence perforce .

QUEEN MARGARET

Nay , never bear me hence ! Dispatch me here .
Here sheathe thy sword ; I’ll pardon thee my death .
What , wilt thou not ? — Then , Clarence , do it thou .

CLARENCE

By heaven , I will not do thee so much ease .

QUEEN MARGARET

Good Clarence , do ! Sweet Clarence , do thou do it .

CLARENCE

Didst thou not hear me swear I would not do it ?

[243]ACT 5. SC. 6

QUEEN MARGARET

Ay , but thou usest to forswear thyself .
’Twas sin before , but now ’tis charity .
What , wilt thou not ? Where is that devil’s butcher ,
Richard ,
Hard-favored Richard ? Richard , where art thou ?
Thou art not here . Murder is thy alms-deed ;
Petitioners for blood thou ne’er putt’st back .

KING EDWARD

Away , I say !

( To Soldiers . )

I charge you bear her
hence .

QUEEN MARGARET

So come to you and yours as to this prince !

Queen Margaret exits under guard .
Soldiers carry off Prince Edward’s body .

KING EDWARD

Where’s Richard gone ?

CLARENCE

To London all in post , and , as I guess ,
To make a bloody supper in the Tower .

KING EDWARD

He’s sudden if a thing comes in his head .
Now march we hence . Discharge the common sort
With pay and thanks , and let’s away to London
And see our gentle queen how well she fares .
By this I hope she hath a son for me .

They exit .

Scene 6

Enter King Henry the Sixth , wearing the red rose ,
and Richard of Gloucester , wearing the white rose ,
with the Lieutenant above on the Tower walls .

RICHARD

Good day , my lord . What , at your book so hard ?

[245]ACT 5. SC. 6

KING HENRY

Ay , my good lord — ‘my lord ,’ I should say rather .
’Tis sin to flatter ; ‘good’ was little better :
‘Good Gloucester’ and ‘good devil’ were alike ,
And both preposterous : therefore , not ‘good lord .’

RICHARD

, to Lieutenant

Sirrah , leave us to ourselves ; we must confer .

Lieutenant exits .

KING HENRY

So flies the reckless shepherd from the wolf ;
So first the harmless sheep doth yield his fleece
And next his throat unto the butcher’s knife .
What scene of death hath Roscius now to act ?

RICHARD

Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind ;
The thief doth fear each bush an officer .

KING HENRY

The bird that hath been limèd in a bush ,
With trembling wings misdoubteth every bush ;
And I , the hapless male to one sweet bird ,
Have now the fatal object in my eye
Where my poor young was limed , was caught , and
killed .

RICHARD

Why , what a peevish fool was that of Crete
That taught his son the office of a fowl !
And yet , for all his wings , the fool was drowned .

KING HENRY

I Daedalus , my poor boy Icarus ,
Thy father Minos , that denied our course ;
The sun that seared the wings of my sweet boy
Thy brother Edward , and thyself the sea
Whose envious gulf did swallow up his life .
Ah , kill me with thy weapon , not with words !
My breast can better brook thy dagger’s point
[247] ACT 5. SC. 6 Than can my ears that tragic history .
But wherefore dost thou come ? Is ’t for my life ?

RICHARD

Think’st thou I am an executioner ?

KING HENRY

A persecutor I am sure thou art .
If murdering innocents be executing ,
Why , then , thou art an executioner .

RICHARD

Thy son I killed for his presumption .

KING HENRY

Hadst thou been killed when first thou didst presume ,
Thou hadst not lived to kill a son of mine .
And thus I prophesy : that many a thousand
Which now mistrust no parcel of my fear ,
And many an old man’s sigh , and many a widow’s
And many an orphan’s water-standing eye ,
Men for their sons , wives for their husbands ,
Orphans for their parents’ timeless death ,
Shall rue the hour that ever thou wast born .
The owl shrieked at thy birth , an evil sign ;
The night-crow cried , aboding luckless time ;
Dogs howled , and hideous tempest shook down trees ;
The raven rooked her on the chimney’s top ;
And chatt’ring pies in dismal discords sung ;
Thy mother felt more than a mother’s pain ,
And yet brought forth less than a mother’s hope :
To wit , an indigested and deformèd lump ,
Not like the fruit of such a goodly tree .
Teeth hadst thou in thy head when thou wast born
To signify thou cam’st to bite the world .
And if the rest be true which I have heard ,
Thou cam’st —

RICHARD

I’ll hear no more . Die , prophet , in thy speech ;
[249] ACT 5. SC. 6

Stabs him .

For this amongst the rest was I ordained .

KING HENRY

Ay , and for much more slaughter after this .
O God , forgive my sins , and pardon thee .

Dies .

RICHARD

What , will the aspiring blood of Lancaster
Sink in the ground ? I thought it would have mounted .
See how my sword weeps for the poor king’s death .
O , may such purple tears be always shed
From those that wish the downfall of our house .
If any spark of life be yet remaining ,
Down , down to hell , and say I sent thee thither —

Stabs him again .

I that have neither pity , love , nor fear .
Indeed , ’tis true that Henry told me of ,
For I have often heard my mother say
I came into the world with my legs forward .
Had I not reason , think you , to make haste
And seek their ruin that usurped our right ?
The midwife wondered , and the women cried
‘O Jesus bless us , he is born with teeth !’
And so I was , which plainly signified
That I should snarl , and bite , and play the dog .
Then , since the heavens have shaped my body so ,
Let hell make crook’d my mind to answer it .
I have no brother , I am like no brother ;
And this word ‘love ,’ which graybeards call divine ,
Be resident in men like one another
And not in me . I am myself alone .
Clarence , beware ; thou keep’st me from the light ,
But I will sort a pitchy day for thee ;
For I will buzz abroad such prophecies
That Edward shall be fearful of his life ;
And then to purge his fear , I’ll be thy death .
King Henry and the Prince his son are gone .
[251] ACT 5. SC. 7 Clarence , thy turn is next , and then the rest ,
Counting myself but bad till I be best .
I’ll throw thy body in another room ,
And triumph , Henry , in thy day of doom .

He exits , carrying out the body .

Scene 7

Flourish . Enter King Edward , Queen Elizabeth ,
Clarence , Richard of Gloucester , Hastings , Nurse ,
carrying infant Prince Edward , and Attendants .

KING EDWARD

Once more we sit in England’s royal throne ,
Repurchased with the blood of enemies .
What valiant foemen , like to autumn’s corn ,
Have we mowed down in tops of all their pride !
Three dukes of Somerset , threefold renowned
For hardy and undoubted champions ;
Two Cliffords , as the father and the son ;
And two Northumberlands ; two braver men
Ne’er spurred their coursers at the trumpet’s sound .
With them the two brave bears , Warwick and
Montague ,
That in their chains fettered the kingly lion
And made the forest tremble when they roared .
Thus have we swept suspicion from our seat
And made our footstool of security . —
Come hither , Bess , and let me kiss my boy . —
Young Ned , for thee , thine uncles and myself
Have in our armors watched the winter’s night ,
Went all afoot in summer’s scalding heat ,
That thou mightst repossess the crown in peace ,
And of our labors thou shalt reap the gain .

[253]ACT 5. SC. 7

RICHARD

, aside

I’ll blast his harvest , if your head were laid ;
For yet I am not looked on in the world .
This shoulder was ordained so thick to heave ,
And heave it shall some weight or break my back .
Work thou the way and that shalt execute .

KING EDWARD

Clarence and Gloucester , love my lovely queen ,
And kiss your princely nephew , brothers both .

CLARENCE

The duty that I owe unto your Majesty
I seal upon the lips of this sweet babe .

He kisses the infant .

KING EDWARD

Thanks , noble Clarence ; worthy brother , thanks .

RICHARD

And that I love the tree from whence thou sprang’st ,
Witness the loving kiss I give the fruit .

He kisses the infant .

Aside .

To say the truth , so Judas kissed his master
And cried ‘All hail !’ whenas he meant all harm .

KING EDWARD

Now am I seated as my soul delights ,
Having my country’s peace and brothers’ loves .

CLARENCE

What will your Grace have done with Margaret ?
Reignier , her father , to the King of France
Hath pawned the Sicils and Jerusalem ,
And hither have they sent it for her ransom .

KING EDWARD

Away with her , and waft her hence to France .
And now what rests but that we spend the time
With stately triumphs , mirthful comic shows ,
Such as befits the pleasure of the court ?
Sound drums and trumpets ! Farewell , sour annoy ,
For here I hope begins our lasting joy .

Flourish . They all exit .
