Marquess of Montague. Yet, to have join'd with France in such alliance
Would more have strengthen'd this our commonwealth
'Gainst foreign storms than any home-bred marriage.

Lord Hastings. Why, knows not Montague that of itself
England is safe, if true within itself?

IV,1,2017

Marquess of Montague. But the safer when 'tis back'd with France.

Lord Hastings. 'Tis better using France than trusting France:
Let us be back'd with God and with the seas
Which He hath given for fence impregnable,
And with their helps only defend ourselves;
In them and in ourselves our safety lies.

Open the gates; we are King Henry's friends.

Richard III (Duke of Gloucester). A wise stout captain, and soon persuaded!

Lord Hastings. The good old man would fain that all were well,
So 'twere not 'long of him; but being enter'd,
I doubt not, I, but we shall soon persuade
Both him and all his brothers unto reason.

IV,7,2490

King Edward IV (Plantagenet). When we grow stronger, then we'll make our claim:

Come, fellow-soldier, make thou proclamation.
