Author: William Shakespeare
Not Peer Reviewed
Yorke, and Henrie the Sixt.
And Warriors faint, why twere perpetuall
2935Shame? Oh braue yong Prince, thy
Noble grandfather doth liue againe in thee,
Long maiest thou liue to beare his image,
And to renew his glories.
Sum. And he that turnes and flies when such do fight,
Let him to bed, and like the Owle by daie
2940Be hist, and wondered at if he arise.
Enter a Messenger.
2945Mes. My Lords, Duke Edward with a mighty power,
Is marching hitherwards to fight with you.
Oxf. I thought it was his pollicie, to take vs vnprouided,
But here will we stand and fight it to the death.
Enter king Edward, Cla. Glo. Hast. and Souldiers.
Edw. See brothers, yonder stands the thornie wood,
2955Which by Gods assistance and your prowesse,
Shall with our swords yer night be cleane cut downe.
2960Queen. Lords, Knights & gentlemen, what I should say,
My teares gainesaie, for as you see, I drinke
The water of mine eies. Then no more
But this. Henry your king is prisoner
In the tower, his land and all our friends
2965Are quite distrest, and yonder standes
The Wolfe that makes all this,
Then on Gods name Lords togither cry saint George.
All. Saint George for Lancaster.
2970
Alarmes to the battell, Yorke flies, then the chambers be
discharged. Then enter the king, Cla & Glo. & the rest,
& make a great shout, and crie, for Yorke, for Yorke, and
then the Queene is taken, & the prince, & Oxf. & Sum.
and then sound and enter all againe.
E4.
Edw.
