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, |
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 VI: |
Farewell, my Hector, and my Troy's true hope. |
CLARENCE: |
In sign of truth, I kiss your highness' hand. |
KING HENRY VI: |
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. |
KING HENRY VI: |
Sweet Oxford, and my loving Montague, |
And all at once, once more a happy farewell. |
WARWICK: |
Farewell, sweet lords: let's meet at Coventry. |
KING HENRY VI: |
Here at the palace I will 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. |
KING HENRY VI: |
That's not my fear; my meed hath got me fame: |
I have not stopp'd 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 allay'd their swelling griefs, |
My mercy dried their water-flowing tears; |
I have not been desirous of their wealth, |
Nor much oppress'd them with great subsidies. |
Nor forward of revenge, though they much err'd: |
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. |
EXETER: |
Hark, hark, my lord! what shouts are these? |
KING EDWARD IV: |
Seize on the shame-faced 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 sha$l suck them dry, |
And swell so much the higher by their ebb. |
Hence with him to the Tower; let him not speak. |
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. |
GLOUCESTER: |
Away betimes, before his forces join, |
And take the great-grown traitor unawares: |
Brave warriors, march amain towards Coventry. |
3 KING HENRY VI |
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. |
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. |
WARWICK: |
Say, Somerville, what says my loving son? |
And, by thy guess, how nigh is Clarence now? |
