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.

Earl of Warwick |

And so do I. Victorious Prince of York,
Before I see thee seated in that throne
Which now the house of Lancaster usurps,
I vow by heaven these eyes shall never close.
This is the palace of the fearful king,
And this the regal seat: possess it, York;
For this is thine and not King Henry's heirs'

Assist me, then, sweet Warwick, and I will;
For hither we have broken in by force.

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.

The hope thereof makes Clifford mourn in steel.

[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.

Earl of Warwick |

Exeter, thou art a traitor to the crown
In following this usurping Henry.

And shall I stand, and thou sit in my throne?

Earl of Westmoreland |
102 |
Plantagenet, of thee and these thy sons,
Thy kinsman and thy friends, I'll have more lives
Than drops of blood were in my father's veins.

Richard Plantagenet (Duke of Gloucester) |

Will you we show our title to the crown?
If not, our swords shall plead it in the field.

[I, 1] |
Henry VI |
131 |
Think'st thou that I will leave my kingly throne,
Wherein my grandsire and my father sat?
No: first shall war unpeople this my realm;
Ay, and their colours, often borne in France,
And now in England to our heart's great sorrow,
Shall be my winding-sheet. Why faint you, lords?
My title's good, and better far than his.

[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.
|
13 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Earl of Warwick |
161 |
Deposed he shall be, in despite of all.
|
14 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Earl of Northumberland |
162 |
Thou art deceived: 'tis not thy southern power,
Of Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, nor of Kent,
Which makes thee thus presumptuous and proud,
Can set the duke up in despite of me.
|
15 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Lord Clifford |
166 |
King Henry, be thy title right or wrong,
Lord Clifford vows to fight in thy defence:
May that ground gape and swallow me alive,
Where I shall kneel to him that slew my father!
|

Richard Plantagenet (Duke of Gloucester) |
181 |
Confirm the crown to me and to mine heirs,
And thou shalt reign in quiet while thou livest.

Earl of Westmoreland |
192 |
Farewell, faint-hearted and degenerate king,
In whose cold blood no spark of honour bides.
|
18 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Earl of Northumberland |
194 |
Be thou a prey unto the house of York,
And die in bands for this unmanly deed!
|
19 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Lord Clifford |
196 |
In dreadful war mayst thou be overcome,
Or live in peace abandon'd and despised!

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.
