  Enter MONTAGUE; with drum and colours
  MONTAGUE。           Montague;     Montague;      for  Lancaster!     'He   and   his
  forces enter the city' GLOUCESTER。 Thou and thy brother both shall buy
  this   treason    Even    with    the  dearest    blood    your    bodies   bear。   KING
  EDWARD。   The   harder   match'd;   the   greater   victory。   My   mind   presageth
  happy gain and conquest。
  Enter SOMERSET; with drum and colours
  SOMERSET。 Somerset; Somerset; for Lancaster! 'He and his forces
  enter the city' GLOUCESTER。 Two of thy name; both Dukes of Somerset;
  Have sold their lives unto the house of York; And thou shalt be the third; if

  this sword hold。 Enter CLARENCE; with drum and colours
  WARWICK。   And   lo   where   George   of   Clarence   sweeps   along;   Of
  force enough to bid his brother battle; With whom an upright zeal to right
  prevails More than the nature of a brother's love。 CLARENCE。 Clarence;
  Clarence;   for   Lancaster!   KING   EDWARD。   Et   tu   Brute…   wilt   thou   stab
  Caesar   too?   A   parley;   sirrah;   to   George   of   Clarence。   'Sound   a   parley。
  RICHARD          and   CLARENCE          whisper'     WARWICK。         Come;     Clarence;
  come。 Thou wilt if Warwick call。 CLARENCE。 'Taking the red rose from
  his hat and throwing it at WARWICK' Father of Warwick; know you what
  this means? Look here; I throw my infamy at thee。 I will not ruinate my
  father's house; Who gave his blood to lime the stones together; And set up
  Lancaster。   Why;   trowest   thou;   Warwick;   That   Clarence   is   so   harsh;   so
  blunt; unnatural; To bend the fatal instruments of war Against his brother
  and his lawful King? Perhaps thou wilt object my holy oath。 To keep that
  oath   were   more   impiety Than   Jephtha   when he   sacrific'd   his   daughter。   I
  am  so   sorry  for   my  trespass   made That;  to   deserve   well   at   my   brother's
  hands; I here proclaim myself thy mortal foe; With resolution whereso'er I
  meet thee… As I will meet thee; if thou stir abroad… To plague thee for thy
  foul misleading me。 And so; proud…hearted Warwick; I defy thee; And to
  my   brother   turn   my   blushing   cheeks。   Pardon   me;   Edward;   I   will   make
  amends; And; Richard; do not frown upon my faults; For I will henceforth
  be   no   more   unconstant。   KING   EDWARD。  Now   welcome   more;   and   ten
  times     more    belov'd;    Than     if  thou    never    hadst   deserv'd     our   hate。
  GLOUCESTER。              Welcome;       good      Clarence;      this   is    brother…like。
  WARWICK。          O   passing    traitor;  perjur'd   and   unjust!   KING     EDWARD。
  What; Warwick; wilt thou leave die town and fight?
  Or shall we beat the stones about thine ears? WARWICK。 Alas; I am
  not coop'd here for defence! I will away towards Barnet presently And bid
  thee    battle;  Edward;     if  thou   dar'st。  KING      EDWARD。        Yes;   Warwick;
  Edward   dares   and   leads   the   way。   Lords;   to   the   field;   Saint   George   and
  victory!     Exeunt     YORKISTS         'March。     WARWICK         and    his   company
  follow'

  SCENE II。 A field of battle near Barnet
  Alarum      and   excursions。     Enter   KING     EDWARD;        bringing    forth
  WARWICK; wounded
  KING EDWARD。 So; lie thou there。 Die thou; and die our fear; For
  Warwick was a bug that fear'd us all。 Now; Montague; sit fast; I seek for
  thee;   That   Warwick's   bones   may   keep   thine   company。   Exit   WARWICK。
  Ah; who is nigh? Come to me; friend or foe; And tell me who is victor;
  York or Warwick? Why ask I that? My mangled body shows; My blood;
  my want of strength; my sick heart shows; That I must yield my body to
  the earth And; by my fall; the conquest to my foe。 Thus yields the cedar to
  the   axe's   edge;   Whose   arms   gave   shelter   to   the   princely   eagle;   Under
  whose shade the ramping lion slept; Whose top…branch overpeer'd Jove's
  spreading   tree And   kept   low   shrubs   from   winter's   pow'rful   wind。   These
  eyes; that now are dimm'd with death's black veil; Have been as piercing
  as   the  mid…day    sun   To   search   the  secret  treasons   of  the  world;   The
  wrinkles   in   my   brows;   now   fill'd   with   blood;  Were   lik'ned   oft   to   kingly
  sepulchres; For who liv'd King; but I could dig his grave? And who durst
  smile when Warwick bent his brow? Lo now my glory smear'd in dust and
  blood! My parks; my walks; my manors; that I had; Even now forsake me;
  and of all my lands Is nothing left me but my body's length。 what is pomp;
  rule; reign; but earth and dust? And live we how we can; yet die we must。
  Enter OXFORD and SOMERSET
  SOMERSET。 Ah; Warwick; Warwick! wert thou as we are; We might
  recover all our loss again。 The Queen from France hath brought a puissant
  power; Even now we heard the news。 Ah; couldst thou fly! WARWICK。
  Why then; I would not fly。 Ah; Montague; If thou be there; sweet brother;
  take my hand; And with thy lips keep in my soul a while! Thou lov'st me
  not; for; brother; if thou didst; Thy tears would wash this cold congealed
  blood    That   glues   my   lips  and  will  not   let  me  speak。   Come     quickly;
  Montague;      or  I  am   dead。  SOMERSET。        Ah;   Warwick!     Montague     hath
  breath'd his last; And to the latest gasp cried out for Warwick; And said
  'Commend me to my valiant brother。' And more he would have said; and
  more he spoke; Which sounded like a clamour in a vault; That mought not

  be distinguish'd; but at last; I well might hear; delivered with a groan; 'O
  farewell; Warwick!' WARWICK。 Sweet rest his soul! Fly; lords; and save
  yourselves: For Warwick bids you all farewell; to meet in heaven。 'Dies'
  OXFORD。 Away; away; to meet the Queen's great power! 'Here they bear
  away his body'

  SCENE III。 Another part of the field
  Flourish。 Enter KING in triumph; with GLOUCESTER; CLARENCE;
  and the rest
  KING EDWARD。 Thus far our fortune keeps an upward course; And
  we   are   grac'd   with   wreaths   of   victory。   But   in   the   midst   of   this   bright…
  shining day I spy a black; suspicious; threat'ning cloud That will encounter
  with our glorious sun Ere he attain his easeful western bed… I mean;  my
  lords; those powers that the Queen Hath rais'd in Gallia have arriv'd our
  coast And;   as   we   hear;   march   on   to   fight   with   us。   CLARENCE。 A  little
  gale will soon disperse that cloud And blow it to the source from whence it
  came;     Thy    very   beams     will  dry   those   vapours     up;  For    every   cloud
  engenders      not   a  storm。    GLOUCESTER。           The    Queen    is  valued    thirty
  thousand strong; And Somerset; with Oxford; fled to her。 If she have time
  to breathe; be well assur'd Her faction will be full as strong as ours。 KING
  EDWARD。   are   advertis'd   by   our   loving   friends   That   they   do   hold   their
  course toward Tewksbury; We; having now the best at Barnet field; Will
  thither straight;   for   willingness   rids   way; And   as   we   march   our   strength
  will be augmented In every county as we go along。 Strike up the drum; cry
  'Courage!' and away。 Exeunt

  SCENE IV。 Plains wear Tewksbury
  Flourish。   March。   Enter   QUEEN   MARGARET;   PRINCE   EDWARD;
  SOMERSET; OXFORD; and SOLDIERS
  QUEEN MARGARET。 Great lords; wise men ne'er sit and wail their
  loss; But cheerly seek how to redress their harms。 What though the mast
  be now blown overboard; The cable broke; the holding…anchor lost; And
  half our sailors swallow'd in   the flood; Yet lives   our pilot   still。 Is't   meet
  that he Should leave the helm and; like a fearful lad; With tearful eyes add
  water   to   the   sea  And   give   more   strength   to   that   which   hath   too   much;
  Whiles;   in   his   moan;   the   ship   splits   on   the   rock;   Which   industry   and
  courage might have sav'd? Ah; what a shame! ah; what a fault were this!
  Say Warwick was our anchor; what of that? And Montague our top…mast;
  what of him? Our slaught'red friends the tackles; what of these? Why; is
  not Oxford here another anchor? And Som
