And reason too: |
Who should succeed the father but the son? |
RICHARD: |
Are you there, butcher? O, I cannot speak! |
CLIFFORD: |
Ay, crook-back, here I stand to answer thee, |
Or any he the proudest of thy sort. |
RICHARD: |
'Twas you that kill'd young Rutland, was it not? |
CLIFFORD: |
Ay, and old York, and yet not satisfied. |
RICHARD: |
For God's sake, lords, give signal to the fight. |
WARWICK: |
What say'st thou, Henry, wilt thou yield the crown? |
QUEEN MARGARET: |
Why, how now, long-tongued Warwick! dare you speak? |
When you and I met at Saint Alban's last, |
Your legs did better service than your hands. |
WARWICK: |
Then 'twas my turn to fly, and now 'tis thine. |
CLIFFORD: |
You said so much before, and yet you fled. |
WARWICK: |
'Twas not your valour, Clifford, drove me thence. |
NORTHUMBERLAND: |
No, nor your manhood that durst make you stay. |
RICHARD: |
Northumberland, I hold thee reverently. |
Break off the parley; for scarce I can refrain |
The execution of my big-swoln heart |
Upon that Clifford, that cruel child-killer. |
CLIFFORD: |
I slew thy father, call'st thou him a child? |
RICHARD: |
Ay, like a dastard and a treacherous coward, |
As thou didst kill our tender brother Rutland; |
But ere sunset I'll make thee curse the deed. |
KING HENRY VI: |
Have done with words, my lords, and hear me speak. |
QUEEN MARGARET: |
Defy them then, or else hold close thy lips. |
KING HENRY VI: |
I prithee, give no limits to my tongue: |
I am a king, and privileged to speak. |
CLIFFORD: |
My liege, the wound that bred this meeting here |
Cannot be cured by words; therefore be still. |
RICHARD: |
Then, executioner, unsheathe thy sword: |
By him that made us all, I am resolved |
that Clifford's manhood lies upon his tongue. |
EDWARD: |
Say, Henry, shall I have my right, or no? |
A thousand men have broke their fasts to-day, |
That ne'er shall dine unless thou yield the crown. |
WARWICK: |
If thou deny, their blood upon thy head; |
For York in justice puts his armour on. |
PRINCE EDWARD: |
If that be right which Warwick says is right, |
There is no wrong, but every thing is right. |
RICHARD: |
Whoever got thee, there thy mother stands; |
For, well I wot, thou hast thy mother's tongue. |
QUEEN MARGARET: |
But thou art neither like thy sire nor dam; |
But like a foul mis-shapen stigmatic, |
Mark'd by the destinies to be avoided, |
As venom toads, or lizards' dreadful stings. |
RICHARD: |
Iron of Naples hid with English gilt, |
Whose father bears the title of a king,-- |
As if a channel should be call'd the sea,-- |
Shamest thou not, knowing whence thou art extraught, |
