Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Richard Plantagenet (Duke of Gloucester)

4

While we pursued the horsemen of the north,
He slily stole away and left his men:
Whereat the great Lord of Northumberland,
Whose warlike ears could never brook retreat,
Cheer'd up the drooping army; and himself,
Lord Clifford and Lord Stafford, all abreast,
Charged our main battle's front, and breaking in
Were by the swords of common soldiers slain.

And when the king comes, offer no violence,
Unless he seek to thrust you out perforce.

4

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Earl of Warwick

49

Neither the king, nor he that loves him best,
The proudest he that holds up Lancaster,
Dares stir a wing, if Warwick shake his bells.
I'll plant Plantagenet, root him up who dares:
Resolve thee, Richard; claim the English crown.
[Flourish. Enter KING HENRY VI, CLIFFORD,]
NORTHUMBERLAND, WESTMORELAND, EXETER, and the rest]

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Henry VI

56

My lords, look where the sturdy rebel sits,
Even in the chair of state: belike he means,
Back'd by the power of Warwick, that false peer,
To aspire unto the crown and reign as king.
Earl of Northumberland, he slew thy father.
And thine, Lord Clifford; and you both have vow'd revenge
On him, his sons, his favourites and his friends.

6

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Lord Clifford

68

Patience is for poltroons, such as he:
He durst not sit there, had your father lived.
My gracious lord, here in the parliament
Let us assail the family of York.

Whom should he follow but his natural king?

He is both king and Duke of Lancaster;
And that the Lord of Westmoreland shall maintain.

10

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Earl of Warwick

128

Plantagenet shall speak first: hear him, lords;
And be you silent and attentive too,
For he that interrupts him shall not live.

11

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Henry VI

144

An if he may, then am I lawful king;
For Richard, in the view of many lords,
Resign'd the crown to Henry the Fourth,
Whose heir my father was, and I am his.

12

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Richard Plantagenet (Duke of Gloucester)

148

He rose against him, being his sovereign,
And made him to resign his crown perforce.

13

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Earl of Warwick

150

Suppose, my lords, he did it unconstrain'd,
Think you 'twere prejudicial to his crown?

14

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Duke of Exeter

152

No; for he could not so resign his crown
But that the next heir should succeed and reign.

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Duke of Exeter

My conscience tells me he is lawful king.

Deposed he shall be, in despite of all.

17

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Earl of Warwick

173

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.
[He stamps with his foot and the soldiers show]
themselves]

18

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Duke of Exeter

216

Accursed be he that seeks to make them foes!

19

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Queen Margaret

232

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.

Richard Plantagenet (Duke of Gloucester)
