Turn this way, Henry, and regard them not. |
EXETER: |
They seek revenge and therefore will not yield. |
KING HENRY VI: |
Ah, Exeter! |
WARWICK: |
Why should you sigh, my lord? |
KING HENRY VI: |
Not for myself, Lord Warwick, but my son, |
Whom I unnaturally shall disinherit. |
But be it as it may: I here entail |
The crown to thee and to thine heirs for ever; |
Conditionally, that here thou take an oath |
To cease this civil war, and, whilst I live, |
To honour 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. |
KING HENRY VI: |
And long live thou and these thy forward sons! |
YORK: |
Now York and Lancaster are reconciled. |
EXETER: |
Accursed be he that seeks to make them foes! |
YORK: |
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. |
KING HENRY VI: |
And I, with grief and sorrow, to the court. |
EXETER: |
Here comes the queen, whose looks bewray her anger: |
I'll steal away. |
KING HENRY VI: |
Exeter, so will I. |
QUEEN MARGARET: |
Nay, go not from me; I will follow thee. |
KING HENRY VI: |
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 nourish'd him as I did with my blood, |
Thou wouldst have left thy dearest heart-blood there, |
Rather than have 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 VI: |
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 given 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 sepulchre |
And creep into it far before thy time? |
Warwick is chancellor and the lord of Calais; |
Stern Falconbridge commands the narrow seas; |
The duke is made protector of the realm; |
And yet shalt thou be safe? such safety finds |
The trembling lamb environed with wolves. |
