1 |
III,3,1690 |
Fair Queen of England, worthy Margaret,
Sit down with us: it ill befits thy state
And birth, that thou shouldst stand while Lewis doth sit.
|
2 |
III,3,1701 |
Why, say, fair queen, whence springs this deep despair?
|
3 |
III,3,1704 |
Whate'er it be, be thou still like thyself,
And sit thee by our side:
[Seats her by him]
Yield not thy neck
To fortune's yoke, but let thy dauntless mind
Still ride in triumph over all mischance.
Be plain, Queen Margaret, and tell thy grief;
It shall be eased, if France can yield relief.
|
4 |
III,3,1729 |
Renowned queen, with patience calm the storm,
While we bethink a means to break it off.
|
5 |
III,3,1732 |
The more I stay, the more I'll succor thee.
|
6 |
III,3,1736 |
What's he approacheth boldly to our presence?
|
7 |
III,3,1738 |
Welcome, brave Warwick! What brings thee to France?
|
8 |
III,3,1803 |
Queen Margaret, Prince Edward, and Oxford,
Vouchsafe, at our request, to stand aside,
While I use further conference with Warwick.
|
9 |
III,3,1808 |
Now Warwick, tell me, even upon thy conscience,
Is Edward your true king? for I were loath
To link with him that were not lawful chosen.
|
10 |
III,3,1812 |
But is he gracious in the people's eye?
|
11 |
III,3,1814 |
Then further, all dissembling set aside,
Tell me for truth the measure of his love
Unto our sister Bona.
|
12 |
III,3,1825 |
Now, sister, let us hear your firm resolve.
|
13 |
III,3,1831 |
Then, Warwick, thus: our sister shall be Edward's;
And now forthwith shall articles be drawn
Touching the jointure that your king must make,
Which with her dowry shall be counterpoised.
Draw near, Queen Margaret, and be a witness
That Bona shall be wife to the English king.
|
14 |
III,3,1841 |
And still is friend to him and Margaret:
But if your title to the crown be weak,
As may appear by Edward's good success,
Then 'tis but reason that I be released
From giving aid which late I promised.
Yet shall you have all kindness at my hand
That your estate requires and mine can yield.
|
15 |
III,3,1860 |
Warwick, this is some post to us or thee.
|
16 |
III,3,1873 |
Warwick, what are thy news? and yours, fair queen?
|
17 |
III,3,1876 |
What! has your king married the Lady Grey!
And now, to soothe your forgery and his,
Sends me a paper to persuade me patience?
Is this the alliance that he seeks with France?
Dare he presume to scorn us in this manner?
|
18 |
III,3,1920 |
And mine with hers, and thine, and Margaret's.
Therefore at last I firmly am resolved
You shall have aid.
|
19 |
III,3,1924 |
Then, England's messenger, return in post,
And tell false Edward, thy supposed king,
That Lewis of France is sending over masquers
To revel it with him and his new bride:
Thou seest what's past, go fear thy king withal.
|
20 |
III,3,1937 |
But, Warwick,
Thou and Oxford, with five thousand men,
Shall cross the seas, and bid false Edward battle;
And, as occasion serves, this noble queen
And prince shall follow with a fresh supply.
Yet, ere thou go, but answer me one doubt,
What pledge have we of thy firm loyalty?
|
21 |
III,3,1956 |
Why stay we now? These soldiers shall be levied,
And thou, Lord Bourbon, our high admiral,
Shalt waft them over with our royal fleet.
I long till Edward fall by war's mischance,
For mocking marriage with a dame of France.
