18321408And bewray thy treasons with a blush?

18331409War. Can Oxford that did euer fence the right,

18341410Now buckler falshood with a pettigree?

18351411For shame leaue Henry and call Edward king.

18361412Oxf. Call him my king by whom mine elder

18371413Brother the Lord Aubray Vere was done to death,

18381414And more than so, my father euen in the

18391415Downefall of his mellowed yeares,

18401416When age did call him to the dore of death?

18411417No Warwike no, whilst life vpholds this arme,

18421418This arme vpholds the house of Lancaster.

18431419War. And I the house of Yorke.

18441420K Lewes. Queene Margaret, prince Edward and

18451421Oxford, vouchsafe to forbeare a while,

18461422Till I doe talke a word with Warwike.

18501423Now Warwike euen vpon thy honor tell me true;

18511424Is Edward lawfull king or no?

18521425For I were loath to linke with him, that is not lawful heir.

18531426War. Thereon I pawne mine honour and my credit.

18551427Lew. What is he gratious in the peoples eies?

18561428War. The more, that Henry is vnfortunate.

18571429Lew. What is his loue to our sister Bona?

18601430War. Such it seemes

18611431As maie beseeme a monarke like himselfe.

18621432My selfe haue often heard him saie and sweare,

18631433That this his loue was an eternall plant,

18641434The root whereof was fixt in vertues ground,

18651435The leaues and fruite maintainde with beauties sun,

18661436Exempt from enuie, but not from disdaine,

18671437Vnlesse the ladie Bona quite his paine.

18681438Lew. Then sister let vs heare your firme resolue.
