King Henry VI; Part 3
SCENE I。 London。 The Parliament House
Alarum。 Enter DUKE OF YORK; EDWARD; RICHARD; NORFOLK;
MONTAGUE; WARWICK; and soldiers; with white roses in their hats
WARWICK。 I wonder how the King escap'd our hands。 YORK。
While we pursu'd the horsemen of the north; He slily stole away and left
his men; Whereat the great Lord of Northumberland; Whose warlike ears
could never brook retreat; Cheer'd up the drooping army; and himself;
Lord Clifford; and Lord Stafford; all abreast; Charg'd our main battle's
front; and; breaking in; Were by the swords of common soldiers slain。
EDWARD。 Lord Stafford's father; Duke of Buckingham; Is either slain or
wounded dangerous; I cleft his beaver with a downright blow。 That this is
true; father; behold his blood。 MONTAGUE。 And; brother; here's the Earl
of Wiltshire's blood; Whom I encount'red as the battles join'd。 RICHARD。
Speak thou for me; and tell them what I did。 'Throwing down
SOMERSET'S head' YORK。 Richard hath best deserv'd of all my sons。
But is your Grace dead; my Lord of Somerset? NORFOLK。 Such hope
have all the line of John of Gaunt! RICHARD。 Thus do I hope to shake
King Henry's head。 WARWICK。 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'。 YORK。 Assist me then; sweet Warwick; and I
will; For hither we have broken in by force。 NORFOLK。 We'll all assist
you; he that flies shall die。 YORK。 Thanks; gentle Norfolk。 Stay by me;
my lords; And; soldiers; stay and lodge by me this night。 'They go up'
WARWICK。 And when the King comes; offer him no violence。 Unless he
seek to thrust you out perforce。 YORK。 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。 RICHARD。 Arm'd as we are; let's stay within this
house。 WARWICK。 The bloody parliament shall this be call'd; Unless
Plantagenet; Duke of York; be King; And bashful Henry depos'd; whose
cowardice Hath made us by…words to our enemies。 YORK。 Then leave me
not; my lords; be resolute: I mean to take possession of my right。

WARWICK。 Neither the King; nor he that loves him best; The proudest he
that holds up Lancaster; Dares stir a wing if Warwick shake his bells。 I'll
plant Plantagenet; root him up who dares。 Resolve thee; Richard; claim the
English crown。 'YORK occupies the throne'
Flourish。 Enter KING HENRY; CLIFFORD; NORTHUMBERLAND;
WESTMORELAND; EXETER; and others; with red roses in their hats
KING HENRY。 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。
NORTHUMBERLAND。 If I be not; heavens be reveng'd on me!
CLIFFORD。 The hope thereof makes Clifford mourn in steel。
WESTMORELAND。 What; shall we suffer this? Let's pluck him down;
My heart for anger burns; I cannot brook it。 KING HENRY。 Be patient;
gentle Earl of Westmoreland。 CLIFFORD。 Patience is for poltroons such
as he; He durst not sit there had your father liv'd。 My gracious lord; here in
the parliament Let us assail the family of York。 NORTHUMBERLAND。
Well hast thou spoken; cousin; be it so。 KING HENRY。 Ah; know you not
the city favours them; And they have troops of soldiers at their beck?
EXETER。 But when the Duke is slain they'll quickly fly。 KING HENRY。
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。
YORK。 I am thine。 EXETER。 For shame; come down; he made thee Duke
of York。 YORK。 'Twas my inheritance; as the earldom was。 EXETER。 Thy
father was a traitor to the crown。 WARWICK。 Exeter; thou art a traitor to
the crown In following this usurping Henry。 CLIFFORD。 Whom should he
follow but his natural king? WARWICK。 True; Clifford; and that's Richard
Duke of York。 KING HENRY。 And shall I stand; and thou sit in my throne?
YORK。 It must and shall be so; content thyself。 WARWICK。 Be Duke of
Lancaster; let him be King。 WESTMORELAND。 He is both King and
Duke of Lancaster; And that the Lord of Westmoreland shall maintain。

WARWICK。 And Warwick shall disprove it。 You forget That we are those
which chas'd you from the field; And slew your fathers; and with colours
spread March'd through the city to the palace gates。
NORTHUMBERLAND。 Yes; Warwick; I remember it to my grief; And;
by his soul; thou and thy house shall rue it。 WESTMORELAND。
Plantagenet; of thee; and these thy sons; Thy kinsmen; and thy friends; I'll
have more lives Than drops of blood were in my father's veins。
CLIFFORD。 Urge it no more; lest that instead of words I send thee;
Warwick; such a messenger As shall revenge his death before I stir。
WARWICK。 Poor Clifford; how I scorn his worthless threats! YORK。 Will
you we show our title to the crown? If not; our swords shall plead it in the
field。 KING HENRY。 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 seiz'd upon their towns and provinces。 WARWICK。
Talk not of France; sith thou hast lost it all。 KING HENRY。 The Lord
Protector lost it; and not I: When I was crown'd; I was but nine months old。
RICHARD。 You are old enough now; and yet methinks you lose。 Father;
tear the crown from the usurper's head。 EDWARD。 Sweet father; do so; set
it on your head。 MONTAGUE。 Good brother; as thou lov'st and honourest
arms; Let's fight it out and not stand cavilling thus。 RICHARD。 Sound
drums and trumpets; and the King will fly。 YORK。 Sons; peace! KING
HENRY。 Peace thou! and give King Henry leave to speak。 WARWICK。
Plantagenet shall speak first。 Hear him; lords; And be you silent and
attentive too; For he that interrupts him shall not live。 KING HENRY。
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。 WARWICK。 Prove it; Henry; and thou shalt
be King。 KING HENRY。 Henry the Fourth by conquest got the crown。
YORK。 'Twas by rebellion against his king。 KING HENRY。 'Aside' I
know not what to say; my title's weak。… Tell me; may not a king adopt an
heir? YORK。 What then? KING HENRY。 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。 YORK。 He
rose against him; being his so
