Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

King Edward IV (Plantagenet)

12

Lord Stafford's father, Duke of Buckingham,
Is either slain or wounded dangerously;
I cleft his beaver with a downright blow:
That this is true, father, behold his blood.

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Earl of Warwick

24

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'

Richard Plantagenet (Duke of Gloucester)

34

Thanks, gentle Norfolk: stay by me, my lords;
And, soldiers, stay and lodge by me this night.

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Richard Plantagenet (Duke of Gloucester)

39

The queen this day here holds her parliament,
But little thinks we shall be of her council:
By words or blows here let us win our right.

5

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Richard III (Duke of Gloucester)

42

Arm'd as we are, let's stay within this house.

6

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Earl of Warwick

43

The bloody parliament shall this be call'd,
Unless Plantagenet, Duke of York, be king,
And bashful Henry deposed, whose cowardice
Hath made us by-words to our enemies.

7

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Earl of Westmoreland

65

What, shall we suffer this? let's pluck him down:
My heart for anger burns; I cannot brook it.

8

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Henry VI

76

Far be the thought of this from Henry's heart,
To make a shambles of the parliament-house!
Cousin of Exeter, frowns, words and threats
Shall be the war that Henry means to use.
Thou factious Duke of York, descend my throne,
and kneel for grace and mercy at my feet;
I am thy sovereign.

9

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Earl of Warwick

87

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

10

[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.

11

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]

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Henry VI

179

My Lord of Warwick, hear me but one word:
Let me for this my life-time reign as king.

13

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Lord Clifford

185

What wrong is this unto the prince your son!

14

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Earl of Warwick

186

What good is this to England and himself!

15

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!

16

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Earl of Warwick

199

Turn this way, Henry, and regard them not.

17

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Henry VI

203

Not for myself, Lord Warwick, but my son,
Whom I unnaturally shall disinherit.
But be it as it may: I here entail
The crown to thee and to thine heirs for ever;
Conditionally, that here thou take an oath
To cease this civil war, and, whilst I live,
To honour me as thy king and sovereign,
And neither by treason nor hostility
To seek to put me down and reign thyself.

18

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Richard Plantagenet (Duke of Gloucester)

212

This oath I willingly take and will perform.

Richard Plantagenet (Duke of Gloucester)

329

Richard, enough; I will be king, or die.
Brother, thou shalt to London presently,
And whet on Warwick to this enterprise.
Thou, Richard, shalt to the Duke of Norfolk,
And tell him privily of our intent.
You Edward, shall unto my Lord Cobham,
With whom the Kentishmen will willingly rise:
In them I trust; for they are soldiers,
Witty, courteous, liberal, full of spirit.
While you are thus employ'd, what resteth more,
But that I seek occasion how to rise,
And yet the king not privy to my drift,
Nor any of the house of Lancaster?
[Enter a Messenger]
But, stay: what news? Why comest thou in such post?

20

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 3]

Lord Clifford

379

Chaplain, away! thy priesthood saves thy life.
As for the brat of this accursed duke,
Whose father slew my father, he shall die.
