Henry VI, Part I
[III, 1]

Richard Plantagenet (Duke of Gloucester)

1285

[Aside] Plantagenet, I see, must hold his tongue,
Lest it be said 'Speak, sirrah, when you should;
Must your bold verdict enter talk with lords?'
Else would I have a fling at Winchester.

[III, 1]

Duke of Gloucester

You of my household, leave this peevish broil
And set this unaccustom'd fight aside.

Henry VI, Part I
[III, 1]

Duke of Gloucester

1367

[Aside] Ay, but, I fear me, with a hollow heart.—
See here, my friends and loving countrymen,
This token serveth for a flag of truce
Betwixt ourselves and all our followers:
So help me God, as I dissemble not!

4

Henry VI, Part I
[III, 1]

Winchester

1372

[Aside] So help me God, as I intend it not!

Joan la Pucelle

7

Henry VI, Part I
[V, 1]

Winchester

2413

[Aside] Now Winchester will not submit, I trow,
Or be inferior to the proudest peer.
Humphrey of Gloucester, thou shalt well perceive
That, neither in birth or for authority,
The bishop will be overborne by thee:
I'll either make thee stoop and bend thy knee,
Or sack this country with a mutiny.

8

Henry VI, Part I
[V, 3]

Earl of Suffolk

2631

Reignier of France, I give thee kingly thanks,
Because this is in traffic of a king.
[Aside]
And yet, methinks, I could be well content
To be mine own attorney in this case.
I'll over then to England with this news,
And make this marriage to be solemnized.
So farewell, Reignier: set this diamond safe
In golden palaces, as it becomes.
