Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Earl of Warwick

3

I wonder how the king escaped our hands.

2

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Richard Plantagenet (Duke of Gloucester)

4

While we pursued 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,
Charged our main battle's front, and breaking in
Were by the swords of common soldiers slain.

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Marquess of Montague

16

And, brother, here's the Earl of Wiltshire's blood,
Whom I encounter'd as the battles join'd.

4

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Duke of Norfolk

22

Such hope have all the line of John of Gaunt!

5

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Earl of Warwick

24

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'

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Earl of Warwick

37

And when the king comes, offer no violence,
Unless he seek to thrust you out perforce.

7

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Richard Plantagenet (Duke of Gloucester)

39

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.

8

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Earl of Warwick

43

The bloody parliament shall this be call'd,
Unless Plantagenet, Duke of York, be king,
And bashful Henry deposed, whose cowardice
Hath made us by-words to our enemies.

9

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Earl of Warwick

49

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.
[Flourish. Enter KING HENRY VI, CLIFFORD,]
NORTHUMBERLAND, WESTMORELAND, EXETER, and the rest]

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Henry VI

56

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.

11

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Lord Clifford

64

The hope thereof makes Clifford mourn in steel.

12

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Lord Clifford

68

Patience is for poltroons, such as he:
He durst not sit there, had your father lived.
My gracious lord, here in the parliament
Let us assail the family of York.

13

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Henry VI

73

Ah, know you not the city favours them,
And they have troops of soldiers at their beck?

14

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Duke of Exeter

75

But when the duke is slain, they'll quickly fly.

15

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Henry VI

76

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.

Henry VI, Part III

'Twas my inheritance, as the earldom was.

Duke of Exeter

Thy father was a traitor to the crown.

18

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Earl of Warwick

87

Exeter, thou art a traitor to the crown
In following this usurping Henry.

19

Henry VI, Part III

Earl of Westmoreland

94

He is both king and Duke of Lancaster;
And that the Lord of Westmoreland shall maintain.

20

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Earl of Warwick

96

And Warwick shall disprove it. You forget
That we are those which chased you from the field
And slew your fathers, and with colours spread
March'd through the city to the palace gates.
