Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Richard III (Duke of Gloucester) |
23 |
Thus do I hope to shake King Henry's head.

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Earl of Warwick |
37 |
And when the king comes, offer no violence,
Unless he seek to thrust you out perforce.
|
3 |
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.
|
4 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Richard Plantagenet (Duke of Gloucester) |
47 |
Then leave me not, my lords; be resolute;
I mean to take possession of my right.
|
5 |
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.

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.
|
7 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Duke of Exeter |
86 |
Thy father was a traitor to the crown.
|
8 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Earl of Warwick |
87 |
Exeter, thou art a traitor to the crown
In following this usurping Henry.
|
9 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Earl of Warwick |
96 |
And Warwick shall disprove it. You forget
That we are those which chased you from the field
And slew your fathers, and with colours spread
March'd through the city to the palace gates.
|
10 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Earl of Northumberland |
100 |
Yes, Warwick, I remember it to my grief;
And, by his soul, thou and thy house shall rue it.
|
11 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Richard Plantagenet (Duke of Gloucester) |
109 |
Will you we show our title to the crown?
If not, our swords shall plead it in the field.
|
12 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Henry VI |
111 |
What title hast thou, traitor, to the crown?
Thy father was, as thou art, Duke of York;
Thy grandfather, Roger Mortimer, Earl of March:
I am the son of Henry the Fifth,
Who made the Dauphin and the French to stoop
And seized upon their towns and provinces.
|
13 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Henry VI |
127 |
Peace, thou! and give King Henry leave to speak.
|
14 |
Henry VI, Part III
[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.
|
15 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Henry VI |
141 |
[Aside] I know not what to say; my title's weak.—
Tell me, may not a king adopt an heir?
|
16 |
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.
|
17 |
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.
|
18 |
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?
|
19 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Henry VI |
158 |
[Aside] All will revolt from me, and turn to him.
|
20 |
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!
