WARWICK: |
Suppose, my lords, he did it unconstrain'd, |
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 VI: |
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 VI: |
NORTHUMBERLAND: |
Plantagenet, for all the claim thou lay'st, |
Think not that Henry shall be so deposed. |
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 defence: |
May that ground gape and swallow me alive, |
Where I shall kneel to him that slew my father! |
KING HENRY VI: |
O Clifford, how thy words revive my heart! |
YORK: |
Henry of Lancaster, resign thy crown. |
What mutter you, or what conspire you, lords? |
WARWICK: |
Do right unto this princely Duke of York, |
Or I will fill the house with armed men, |
And over the chair of state, where now he sits, |
Write up his title with usurping blood. |
KING HENRY VI: |
My Lord of Warwick, hear me but one word: |
Let me for this my life-time reign as king. |
YORK: |
Confirm the crown to me and to mine heirs, |
And thou shalt reign in quiet while thou livest. |
KING HENRY VI: |
I am content: Richard Plantagenet, |
Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. |
CLIFFORD: |
What wrong is this unto the prince your son! |
WARWICK: |
What good is this to England and himself! |
WESTMORELAND: |
Base, fearful and despairing Henry! |
CLIFFORD: |
How hast thou injured both thyself and us! |
WESTMORELAND: |
I cannot stay to hear these articles. |
NORTHUMBERLAND: |
Nor I. |
CLIFFORD: |
Come, cousin, let us tell the queen these news. |
WESTMORELAND: |
Farewell, faint-hearted and degenerate king, |
In whose cold blood no spark of honour 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 abandon'd and despised! |
WARWICK: |
