Henry VI, Part 2 (Quarto 1, 1594)

Author: William Shakespeare
Not Peer Reviewed
Alarmes, and then a flourish, and enter the Duke of
3320
Yorke and Richard.
3320.1Yorke. Hovv novv boyes, fortunate this fight hath bene,
I hope to vs and ours, for Englands good,
And our great honour, that so long vve lost,
Whilst faint-heart Henry did vsurpe our rights:
But did you see old Salsbury, since we
With bloodie mindes did buckle with the foe,
I would not for the losse of this right hand,
3325That ought but well betide that good old man.
Rich. My Lord, I saw him in the thickest throng,
3328.1Charging his Lance with his old weary armes,
And thrise I saw him beaten from his horse,
3330And thrise this hand did set him vp againe,
And still he fought with courage gainst his foes,
The boldest sprited man that ere mine eyes beheld.
Enter Salibbury and Warwicke.
3336.1Edward. See noble father, where they both do come,
The onely props vnto the house of Yorke.
Sals. Well hast thou fought this day, thou valiant Duke,
And thou braue bud of Yorkes encreasing house,
The small remainder of my weary life,
3339.1I hold for thee, for with thy warlike arme,
3340Three times this day thou hast preseru'd my life.
3345Yorke. What say you Lords, the King is fled to London?
There as I here to hold a Parlament.
What saies Lord Warwicke, shall we after them?
3350VVar. After them, nay before them if we can.
Now by my faith Lords, twas a glorious day,
Saint Albones battaile wonne by famous Yorke,
Shall be eternest in all age to come.
Sound Drummes and Trumpets, and to London all,
3355And more such daies as these to vs befall.
3355.1
Exet omnes.
