YORK

x ,
Now my | good* Lords | of Sal|isbury and |
Warwick,
, ,
, , ,
Our simp|le sup|per end|ed, give | me leave,
, ,
, , ,
In this / close walk,| to sat|isfy | myself,
, ,
, ,
x
In cra|ving your | opin|ion of | my title,
, , , ,
,
Which^is | infal|lible,| to Eng|land's crown.
SALISBURY
, ,
x ,
My lord,| I long | to hear it | at full. \\
WARWICK
T T . T
, ,
,
Sweet York begin:| and if | thy claim | be good,
, ,
, , ,
The Nev|ils are | thy sub|jects to | command.
YORK
,
Then thus: \\
,
, , ,
,
Edward | the Third,| my lords,| had sev|en sons:
, ,
2 T T
T ,
The first,| Edward the | Black Prince, Prince |
of Wales;
, ,
2 , ,
,
The sec|ond, Wil|liam of Hat|field; and | the
third,
, ,
, , ,
Lio|nel, Duke | of Clar|ence; next | to whom,
,
, ,
, ,
Was John | of Gaunt,| the Duke | of Lan|caster;
, ,
, ,
,
The fifth,| was Ed|mund Lang|ley, Duke | of York;
, ,
2 , T T .
T ->
The sixth,| was Thom|as of Wood|stock, Duke of
Glouce||ster;
, 2 ,
, x
,
Wil|liam of Wind|sor was | the seventh,| and
last.
, 2
T T T ,
, o
Edward the | Black Prince died | before | his
fath|er,
,
, , ,
, ___
And left | behind | him Rich|ard, his | only |
son, (hex with prev)
,
, ,
, ,
__
Who aft|er Ed|ward the / Third's death,| reigned
as | king,
, ,
, , , __
Till Hen|ry Bol|ingbroke,| Duke of | Lanca|ster,
(hex with prev)
, ,
, ,
,
The eld|est son | and heir | of John | of Gaunt,
,
, ,
, ,
Crowned | by the | name of | Henry | the Fourth,
,
, ,
, ,
Seized on | the realm,| deposed | the right|ful
king,
,
, , ,
,
Sent his | poor* queen | to France,| from whence
| she came,
,
, ,
, ,
And him | to Pom|fret; where,| as all | you know,
,
, , ,
2 ,
Harmless | Richard | was murd|ered trait|orously.
WARWICK
, ,
, , oo
Father,| the duke | hath told | the truth;|
, ,
, ,
,
Thus got | the house | of Lan|caster | the crown.
YORK
, ,
, ,
,
Which now | they hold | by force,| and not | by
right:
,
, , ,
,
For Rich|ard, the / first son's | heir, be|ing
dead,
,
, , , ,
The is|sue of the // next son should | have
reigned.
SALISBURY
, 2 ,
, ,
,
But Wil|liam of Hat|field* died | without | an
heir.
YORK
. T T T ,
The third son, Duke | of Clar|ence,
T T T
, ,
From whose line | I claim | the crown,
,
, ,
x
Had is|sue Phil|ippe,| a daughter, ??
(tetra with prev two)
, , ,
2 , ,
Who mar|ried Ed|mund Mor|timer, Earl | of March:
,
, , , ,
Edmund | had is|sue, Rog|er, Earl | of March;
, 2 ,
, ,
, 2
Roger had | issue,| Edmund,| Anne, and |
Eleanor*.
SALISBURY
, ,
, , ,
This Ed|mund, in | the reign | of Bol|ingbroke,
, ,
T T T 2
,
As I | have read,| laid claim un|to the crown,
,
, , 2
, ,
And but | for Ow|en Glen|dower, had | been king;
,
, , 2 , ,
Who kept | him in | captiv|ity, till | he died.
,
,
But to | the rest.
YORK
, ,
,
His eld|est sis|ter, Anne,
, ,
, ,
,
My moth|er, be|ing heir | unto | the crown,
,
, ,
,
Married | Richard,| Earl of | Cambridge,
,
, ,
,
Who was | son to | Edmund | Langley, (tetra with
prev)
,
, T T
T
Edward | the Third's | fifth son's son;
,
, , o
By her | I claim | the king|dom:
(tetra with prev)
T T T
, , ,
She was heir | to Rog|er, Earl | of March,
,
, , , ,
Who was | the son | of Ed|mund Mor|timer,
,
, , ,
Who mar|ried Phi/lippe, sole | daughter
, , 2
, ,
Unto | Lionel,| Duke of | Clarence.
(tetra with prev)
,
, , , ,
So, if | the is|sue of | the eld|er son
,
, , , ,
Succeed | before | the young|er, I | am king.
WARWICK
,
, , ,
,
What plain | proceed|ings is / more plain | than
this?
, ,
, ,
,
Henry | doth claim | the crown | from John | of
Gaunt,
,
T T T ,
,
The fourth | son, York claims | it from | the
third:
, 2
, , ,
,
Till Li|onel's is|sue fails,| his should | not
reign.
. T T T
, ,
,
It fails not yet,| but flour|ishes | in thee,
,
, , ,
,
And in | thy sons,| fair* slips | of such | a
stock.
,
, 3 3 , , ,
Then fath|er Sal|isbury, kneel | we to|gether,
,
, ,
, ,
And in | this priv|ate plot | be we | the first,
,
, , ,
,
That shall | salute | our right|ful sov|ereign
, ,
, ,
,
With hon|or of | his birth|right to | the crown.
BOTH
T T .
T ,
, ,
Long live our sove|reign Rich|ard, Eng|land's
king.
YORK
, ,
We thank | you lords: \\
,
, ,
, ,
But I | am not | your king,| till I | be crowned,
, ,
,
And that | my sword | be stained \\
????
, ,
, , ,
With heart-|blood of | the house | of Lan|caster;
,
, , ,
,
And that's | not sud/denly | to be | performed,
,
, ,
, ,
But with | advice | and sil|ent sec|recy.
,
, , ,
2 ,
Do you | as I | do in | these dang|erous days,
,
, , ,
,
Wink at | the Duke | of Suf|folk's ins|olence,
, ,
, ,
, 2->
At Beau|fort's pride,| at Som|erset's |
ambi||tion,
, ,
, ,
,
At Buck|ingham,| and all | the crew | of them,
,
, ,
, ,
Till they | have snared | the she|pherd of | the
flock,
, 2 ,
, T T T
That vir|tuous prince,| the good | Duke Humphrey:
, ,
, ,
,
'Tis that | they seek;| and they,| in seek|ing
that,
, ,
, ,
,
Shall find | their deaths,| if York | can
proph|esy.
SALISBURY
My lord, break we off; we know your mind at full.
WARWICK
, ,
, 2 ,
,
My heart | assures | me, that the | Earl of |
Warwick
, ,
, ,
,
Shall one | day* make | the Duke | of York | a
king.
YORK
,
, , ,
,
And Nev|il, this | I do | assure | myself,
, 2
, ,
, ,
Richard shall | live to | make the | Earl of |
Warwick
,
, ,
, ,
The great|est man | in Eng|land, but | the king.
