Had I been there, which am a silly woman, |
The soldiers should have toss'd me on their pikes |
Before I would have granted to that act. |
But thou preferr'st thy life before thine honour: |
And seeing thou dost, I here divorce myself |
Both from thy table, Henry, and thy bed, |
Until that act of parliament be repeal'd |
Whereby my son is disinherited. |
The northern lords that have forsworn thy colours |
Will follow mine, if once they see them spread; |
And spread they shall be, to thy foul disgrace |
And utter ruin of the house of York. |
Thus do I leave thee. Come, son, let's away; |
Our army is ready; come, we'll after them. |
KING HENRY VI: |
Stay, gentle Margaret, and hear me speak. |
QUEEN MARGARET: |
Thou hast spoke too much already: get thee gone. |
KING HENRY VI: |
Gentle son Edward, thou wilt stay with me? |
QUEEN MARGARET: |
Ay, to be murder'd by his enemies. |
PRINCE EDWARD: |
When I return with victory from the field |
I'll see your grace: till then I'll follow her. |
QUEEN MARGARET: |
Come, son, away; we may not linger thus. |
KING HENRY VI: |
Poor queen! how love to me and to her son |
Hath made her break out into terms of rage! |
Revenged may she be on that hateful duke, |
Whose haughty spirit, winged with desire, |
Will cost my crown, and like an empty eagle |
Tire on the flesh of me and of my son! |
The loss of those three lords torments my heart: |
I'll write unto them and entreat them fair. |
Come, cousin you shall be the messenger. |
EXETER: |
And I, I hope, shall reconcile them all. |
3 KING HENRY VI |
RICHARD: |
Brother, though I be youngest, give me leave. |
EDWARD: |
No, I can better play the orator. |
MONTAGUE: |
But I have reasons strong and forcible. |
YORK: |
Why, how now, sons and brother! at a strife? |
What is your quarrel? how began it first? |
EDWARD: |
No quarrel, but a slight contention. |
YORK: |
About what? |
RICHARD: |
About that which concerns your grace and us; |
The crown of England, father, which is yours. |
YORK: |
Mine boy? not till King Henry be dead. |
RICHARD: |
Your right depends not on his life or death. |
EDWARD: |
Now you are heir, therefore enjoy it now: |
By giving the house of Lancaster leave to breathe, |
It will outrun you, father, in the end. |
YORK: |
I took an oath that he should quietly reign. |
EDWARD: |
But for a kingdom any oath may be broken: |
I would break a thousand oaths to reign one year. |
RICHARD: |
No; God forbid your grace should be forsworn. |
YORK: |
I shall be, if I claim by open war. |
RICHARD: |
I'll prove the contrary, if you'll hear me speak. |
YORK: |
