Another part of the field.
 
[Flourish. Enter KING EDWARD IV in triumph; with GLOUCESTER, CLARENCE, and the rest]
 
KING EDWARD IV
            ,         ,         ,         ,         ,
      Thus far | our for|tune keeps | an up|ward course,
           ,          ,             ,          ,     ,
      And we | are graced | with wreaths | of vict|ory:
           ,         ,                  ,     ,       ,
      But in | the midst | of this / bright-shin|ing day,
         ,        ,        ,           ,     2      ,
      I spy | a black | suspi|cious, threat|ening cloud,
             ,        ,        ,         ,    2    ,
      That will | encount|er with | our glor|ious sun,
       ,           ,          ,       ,        ,
      Ere he | attain | his ease|ful west|ern bed:
          ,         ,            ,        ,          ,
      I mean,| my lords,| those pow|ers that | the queen
              ,         ,         ,        ,           ,
      Hath raised | in Gal|lia, have | arrived | our coast,
       ,             ,      T    T  .   T           ,
      And, as | we hear,| march on to fight | with us.
 
CLARENCE
         ,        ,           ,         ,            ,
      A lit|tle gale | will soon | disperse | that cloud,
            ,        ,          ,             ,          ,
      And blow | it to | the source | from whence | it came,
           ,      ,           ,           ,       ,
      The ve|ry beams | will dry | those vap|ors up,
           ,       ,        ,        ,        ,
      For eve|ry cloud | engend|ers not | a storm.
 
GLOUCESTER
            ,         ,        ,       ,          ,
      The queen | is val|ued thir|ty thous|and strong,
           ,     ,          ,         ,        ,
      And Som|erset,| with Ox|ford, fled | to her:
          ,           ,          ,           ,        ,
      If she | have time | to breathe,| be well | assured
           ,         ,         ,          ,          ,
      Her fac|tion will | be full | as strong | as ours.
 
KING EDWARD IV
       ,        ,      ,             ,         ,
      We are | adver|tised by | our lov|ing friends,
             ,         ,            ,         T     T   Tx
      That they | do hold | their course | toward Tewksbury.
          ,       ,          ,         ,       ,
      We hav|ing now | the best | at Barn|et field,
             ,          ,           ,        ,          ,
      Will thith|er straight,| for wil|lingness | rids^way,
           ,        ,             ,        ,    2     ,
      And as | we march,| our strength | will be aug|mented:
         ,   2    ,      ,       ,      ,
      In ev|ery count|y as | we go | along,
         T    T  .    T     ,    ,               ,
      Strike up the drum,| cry cour/age, and | away.
 
[Exeunt]
