MONTAGUE: |
So God help Montague as he proves true! |
HASTINGS: |
And Hastings as he favours Edward's cause! |
KING EDWARD IV: |
Now, brother Richard, will you stand by us? |
GLOUCESTER: |
Ay, in despite of all that shall withstand you. |
KING EDWARD IV: |
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. |
3 KING HENRY VI |
WARWICK: |
Trust me, my lord, all hitherto goes well; |
The common people by numbers swarm to us. |
But see where Somerset and Clarence come! |
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 pawn'd an open hand in sign of love; |
Else might I think that Clarence, Edward's brother, |
Were but a feigned 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 encamp'd, |
His soldiers lurking in the towns about, |
And but attended by a simple guard, |
We may surprise and take him at our pleasure? |
Our scouts have found the adventure very easy: |
That as Ulysses and stout Diomede |
With sleight and manhood stole to Rhesus' tents, |
And brought from thence the Thracian fatal steeds, |
So we, well cover'd 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. |
Why, then, let's on our way in silent sort: |
For Warwick and his friends, God and Saint George! |
3 KING HENRY VI |
First Watchman: |
Come on, my masters, each man take his stand: |
The king by this is set him down to sleep. |
Second Watchman: |
What, will he not to bed? |
First Watchman: |
Why, no; for he hath made a solemn vow |
Never to lie and take his natural rest |
Till Warwick or himself be quite suppress'd. |
Second Watchman: |
To-morrow then belike shall be the day, |
If Warwick be so near as men report. |
Third Watchman: |
But say, I pray, what nobleman is that |
That with the king here resteth in his tent? |
First Watchman: |
'Tis the Lord Hastings, the king's chiefest friend. |
Third Watchman: |
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 Watchman: |
'Tis the more honour, because more dangerous. |
Third Watchman: |
Ay, but give me worship and quietness; |
I like it better than a dangerous honour. |
If Warwick knew in what estate he stands, |
'Tis to be doubted he would waken him. |
First Watchman: |
Unless our halberds did shut up his passage. |
Second Watchman: |
Ay, wherefore else guard we his royal tent, |
But to defend his person from night-foes? |
WARWICK: |
