Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Richard Plantagenet (Duke of Gloucester) |

Then leave me not, my lords; be resolute;
I mean to take possession of my right.

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 2] |
Marquess of Montague |
355 |
Brother, I go; I'll win them, fear it not:
And thus most humbly I do take my leave.
[Exit]
[Enter JOHN MORTIMER and HUGH MORTIMER]
Sir John and Sir Hugh Mortimer, mine uncles,
You are come to Sandal in a happy hour;
The army of the queen mean to besiege us.

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 3] |
Edmond, Earl of Rutland |
389 |
So looks the pent-up lion o'er the wretch
That trembles under his devouring paws;
And so he walks, insulting o'er his prey,
And so he comes, to rend his limbs asunder.
Ah, gentle Clifford, kill me with thy sword,
And not with such a cruel threatening look.
Sweet Clifford, hear me speak before I die.
I am too mean a subject for thy wrath:
Be thou revenged on men, and let me live.

Henry VI, Part III
[II, 6] |
Richard III (Duke of Gloucester) |
1299 |
Revoke that doom of mercy, for 'tis Clifford;
Who not contented that he lopp'd the branch
In hewing Rutland when his leaves put forth,
But set his murdering knife unto the root
From whence that tender spray did sweetly spring,
I mean our princely father, Duke of York.

Henry VI, Part III
[III, 1] |
First Keeper |
1372 |
That cannot be; the noise of thy cross-bow
Will scare the herd, and so my shoot is lost.
Here stand we both, and aim we at the best:
And, for the time shall not seem tedious,
I'll tell thee what befell me on a day
In this self-place where now we mean to stand.

Henry VI, Part III
[III, 2] |
King Edward IV (Plantagenet) |
1527 |
Ay, but thou canst do what I mean to ask.
|

Henry VI, Part III
[III, 2] |
King Edward IV (Plantagenet) |
1540 |
But stay thee, 'tis the fruits of love I mean.
|
8 |
Henry VI, Part III
[III, 2] |
Queen Elizabeth |
1541 |
The fruits of love I mean, my loving liege.
|
9 |
Henry VI, Part III
[III, 2] |
King Edward IV (Plantagenet) |
1546 |
No, by my troth, I did not mean such love.
|
10 |
Henry VI, Part III
[III, 2] |
Queen Elizabeth |
1547 |
Why, then you mean not as I thought you did.
|
11 |
Henry VI, Part III
[III, 2] |
Queen Elizabeth |
1580 |
And that is more than I will yield unto:
I know I am too mean to be your queen,
And yet too good to be your concubine.
|
12 |
Henry VI, Part III
[III, 2] |
King Edward IV (Plantagenet) |
1583 |
You cavil, widow: I did mean, my queen.

13 |
Henry VI, Part III
[IV, 6] |
Earl of Warwick |
2362 |
Why, then, though loath, yet must I be content:
We'll yoke together, like a double shadow
To Henry's body, and supply his place;
I mean, in bearing weight of government,
While he enjoys the honour and his ease.
And, Clarence, now then it is more than needful
Forthwith that Edward be pronounced a traitor,
And all his lands and goods be confiscate.

Henry VI, Part III
[V, 3] |
King Edward IV (Plantagenet) |
2778 |
Thus far our fortune keeps an upward course,
And we are graced with wreaths of victory.
But, in the midst of this bright-shining day,
I spy a black, suspicious, threatening 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 raised in Gallia have arrived our coast
And, as we hear, march on to fight with us.
