OXFORD]
WARWICK
,
, , , ,
What couns|el, lords?| Edward | from Bel|gia,
, ,
, , ,
With has|ty Germ|ans, and / blunt Hol|landers,
,
, ,
, ,
Hath passed | in safe|ty through | the nar|row
seas,
, 2
, , ,
,
And with his | troops doth | march a|main to |
London,
, , ,
, ,
And ma|ny gid|dy peo|ple flock | to him.
KING HENRY VI
, ,
, , ,
Let's^le|vy men,| and beat | him back | again,
CLARENCE
,
, ,
, ,
A lit|tle fire | is quick|ly trod|den out,
,
, , ,
,
Which be|ing suf|fered, riv|ers can|not quench.
WARWICK
, ,
, , ,
In War|wickshire | I have / true-heart|ed
friends,
, ,
, , ,
Not mut|inous | in peace,| yet bold | in war,
,
2 , ,
, ,
Those will I | muster | up: and | thou son*|
Clarence
,
2 , ,
, ,
Shalt^stir | up in Suf|folk, Nor|folk, and | in
Kent,
,
, ,
, ,
The knights | and gent|lemen,| to come | with
thee.
, ,
, ,
,
Thou broth|er Mont|ague,| in Buck|ingham,
,
, , ,
,
Northamp|ton and | in Leice|stershire,| shalt
find
T T . T
, ,
,
Men well inclined | to hear | what thou |
commandst.
. T T T
, , ,
And thou, brave Ox|ford, wond|rous well |
beloved,
,
, , ,
,
In Ox|fordshire | shalt must|er up | thy friends.
, ,
, , ,
My sove|reign, with | the lov|ing cit|izens,
, 2
, , ,
,
Like to his | island,| girt in / with the |
ocean,
,
, ,
, ,
Or mod|est Di|an, circ|led with | her nymphs,
,
, ,
, ,
Shall rest | in Lon|don, till | we come | to him:
, T
T . T ,
,
Fair* lords | take leave, and stand | not to |
reply.
,
, ,
Farewell | my sov|ereign. \\
KING HENRY VI
, ,
, , ,
Farewell | my Hec|tor, and my // Troy's true hope.
CLARENCE
, ,
, ,
,
In sign | of truth,| I kiss | your high|ness'
hand.
KING HENRY VI
,
, ,
, ,
Well* mind|ed Clar|ence, be | thou for|tunate.
MONTAGUE
,
, ,
, ,
Comfort,| my lord,| and so | I take | my leave.
OXFORD
, ,
, , ,
And thus | I seal | my truth,| and bid | adieu.
KING HENRY VI
, ,
, , ,
Sweet^Ox|ford, and | my lov|ing Mont|ague,
,
, , , 2
,
And all | at once,| once^more | a hap|py
farewell.
WARWICK
,
, ,
, ,
Farewell,| sweet* lords,| let's meet | at
Cov|entry.
[Exeunt all but KING HENRY VI and EXETER]
KING HENRY VI
,
, , ,
,
Here at | the pal|ace I | will rest | awhile.
, 2 ,
, ,
,
Cousin of | Exe|ter, what | thinks your |
lordship?
, x
, ,
,
Methinks,| the power | that Ed|ward hath | in
field,
,
, , ,
,
Should not | be a|ble to | encount|er mine.
EXETER
,
, ,
, ,
The doubt | is, that | he will | seduce | the
rest.
KING HENRY VI
,
, ,
, ,
That's not | my fear,| my meed | hath got | me
fame:
, ,
, ,
,
I have | not stopped | mine ears | to their |
demands,
,
, , ,
,
Nor post|ed off | their suits | with slow |
delays,
, , ,
, ,
My pi|ty hath | been balm | to heal | their
wounds,
,
, ,
, ,
My mild|ness hath | allayed | their swel|ling
griefs,
,
, , ,
,
My mer|cy dried | their wat|er-flow|ing tears.
, , ,
, ,
I have | not been | desir|ous of | their wealth,
,
, ,
, ,
Nor much | oppressed | them with / great
sub|sidies.
, ,
,
, ,
Nor for|ward of | revenge,| though they / much
erred.
, ,
, ,
,
Then why | should they | love^Ed|ward more | than
me?
, ,
, ,
,
No^Ex|eter,| these^gra|ces chal|lenge grace:
, ,
, ,
,
And when | the li|on fawns | upon | the lamb,
, ,
, ,
,
The lamb | will nev|er cease | to fol|low him.
[Shout within. A Lancaster! A Lancaster!]
EXETER
__ __
, , ,
Hark,| hark,| my lord,| what shouts | are these?
[Enter KING EDWARD IV, GLOUCESTER, and soldiers]
KING EDWARD IV
, 2
T T T
, ,
Seize on the | shame-faced Hen|ry, bear | him
hence,
, ,
x ,
,
And once | again | proclaim us | King of |
England.
, 2
, T T T
,
You are the | fount, that | makes small brooks |
to flow,
,
, ,
, ,
Now* stops | thy spring,| my sea | shall suck |
them dry,
, ,
, ,
,
And swell | so much | the high|er, by | their
ebb.
,
, x
, ,
Hence with | him to | the Tower,| let^him / not
speak.
[Exeunt some with KING HENRY VI]
, , ,
, ,
And lords,| towards Cov/entry | bend we | our
course,
, ,
, ,
,
Where pe|rempto|ry War|wick now | remains:
. T T
T , ,
,
The sun shines hot,| and if | we use | delay,
T Tx
T , ,
,
Cold biting wint|er mars | our hoped-|for* hay.
GLOUCESTER
,
, ,
, ,
Away | betimes,| before | his for|ces join,
, . T
T T , ,
And take | the great-grown trait|or un|awares:
, ,
, ,
, 2
Brave war/riors,| march a|main towards^|Coventry.
[Exeunt]
