GLOUCESTER: |
The gates are open, let us enter too. |
KING EDWARD IV: |
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 defence, |
We'll quickly rouse the traitors in the same. |
WARWICK: |
O, welcome, Oxford! for we want thy help. |
MONTAGUE: |
Montague, Montague, for Lancaster! |
GLOUCESTER: |
Thou and thy brother both shall buy this treason |
Even with the dearest blood your bodies bear. |
KING EDWARD IV: |
The harder match'd, the greater victory: |
My mind presageth happy gain and conquest. |
SOMERSET: |
Somerset, Somerset, for Lancaster! |
GLOUCESTER: |
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. |
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? |
Look here, I throw my infamy at thee |
I will not ruinate my father's house, |
Who gave his blood to lime the stones together, |
And set up Lancaster. Why, trow'st 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's, 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. |
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 IV: |
Now welcome more, and ten times more beloved, |
Than if thou never hadst deserved our hate. |
GLOUCESTER: |
Welcome, good Clarence; this is brotherlike. |
WARWICK: |
O passing traitor, perjured and unjust! |
KING EDWARD IV: |
What, Warwick, wilt thou leave the town and fight? |
Or shall we beat the stones about thine ears? |
WARWICK: |
Alas, I am not coop'd here for defence! |
I will away towards Barnet presently, |
And bid thee battle, Edward, if thou darest. |
KING EDWARD IV: |
Yes, Warwick, Edward dares, and leads the way. |
Lords, to the field; Saint George and victory! |
3 KING HENRY VI |
KING EDWARD IV: |
So, lie thou there: die thou, and die our fear; |
For Warwick was a bug that fear'd us all. |
Now, Montague, sit fast; I seek for thee, |
That Warwick's bones may keep thine company. |
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. |
