    Henry VI, Part 3 (Octavo 1, 1595)

    Enter Warwike and Oxford, with souldiers.
    War. Trust me my Lords all hitherto goes well,
    The common people by numbers swarme to vs,
    But see where Sommerset and Clarence comes,
    Speake suddenlie my Lords, are we all friends?
    Cla. Feare not that my Lord.
    War. Then gentle Clarence welcome vnto Warwike.
    2195And welcome Summerset, I hold it cowardise,
    To rest mistrustfull where a noble hart,
    Hath pawnde an open hand in signe of loue,
    Else might I thinke that Clarence, Edwards brother,
    Were but a fained friend to our proceedings,
    2200But welcome sweet Clarence my daughter shal be thine.
    And now what rests but in nights couerture,
    Thy brother being careleslie encampt,
    His
    The Tragedie of Richard D. of
    His souldiers lurking in the towne about,
    And but attended by a simple guarde,
    2205We maie surprise and take him at our pleasure,
    Our skouts haue found the aduenture verie easie,
    Then crie king Henry with resolued mindes,
    And breake we presentlie into his tent.
    Cla. Why then lets on our waie in silent sort,
    For Warwike and his friends God and saint George.
