King Henry VI, Part 3

ACT I.

King Henry VI, Part 3

SCENE I. London. The Parliament House

Alarum. Enter DUKE OF YORK, EDWARD, RICHARD, NORFOLK,

MONTAGUE, WARWICK, and soldiers, with white roses in their hats

WARWICK. I wonder how the King escap'd our hands. YORK.

While we pursu'd the horsemen of the north, He slily stole away and left

his men; Whereat the great Lord of Northumberland, Whose warlike ears

could never brook retreat, Cheer'd up the drooping army, and himself,

Lord Clifford, and Lord Stafford, all abreast, Charg'd our main battle's

front, and, breaking in, Were by the swords of common soldiers slain.

EDWARD. Lord Stafford's father, Duke of Buckingham, Is either slain or

wounded dangerous; I cleft his beaver with a downright blow. That this is

true, father, behold his blood. MONTAGUE. And, brother, here's the Earl

of Wiltshire's blood, Whom I encount'red as the battles join'd. RICHARD.

Speak thou for me, and tell them what I did. [Throwing down

SOMERSET'S head] YORK. Richard hath best deserv'd of all my sons.

But is your Grace dead, my Lord of Somerset? NORFOLK. Such hope

have all the line of John of Gaunt! RICHARD. Thus do I hope to shake

King Henry's head. WARWICK. And so do I. Victorious Prince of York,

Before I see thee seated in that throne Which now the house of Lancaster

usurps, I vow by heaven these eyes shall never close. This is the palace of

the fearful King, And this the regal seat. Possess it, York; For this is thine,

and not King Henry's heirs'. YORK. Assist me then, sweet Warwick, and I

will; For hither we have broken in by force. NORFOLK. We'll all assist

you; he that flies shall die. YORK. Thanks, gentle Norfolk. Stay by me,

my lords; And, soldiers, stay and lodge by me this night. [They go up]

WARWICK. And when the King comes, offer him no violence. Unless he

seek to thrust you out perforce. YORK. The Queen this day here holds her

parliament, But little thinks we shall be of her council. By words or blows

here let us win our right. RICHARD. Arm'd as we are, let's stay within this

house. WARWICK. The bloody parliament shall this be call'd, Unless

Plantagenet, Duke of York, be King, And bashful Henry depos'd, whose

cowardice Hath made us by-words to our enemies. YORK. Then leave me

not, my lords; be resolute: I mean to take possession of my right.

King Henry VI, Part 3

WARWICK. Neither the King, nor he that loves him best, The proudest he

that holds up Lancaster, Dares stir a wing if Warwick shake his bells. I'll

plant Plantagenet, root him up who dares. Resolve thee, Richard; claim the

English crown. [YORK occupies the throne]

Flourish. Enter KING HENRY, CLIFFORD, NORTHUMBERLAND,

WESTMORELAND, EXETER, and others, with red roses in their hats

KING HENRY. My lords, look where the sturdy rebel sits, Even in

the chair of state! Belike he means, Back'd by the power of Warwick, that

false peer, To aspire unto the crown and reign as king. Earl of

Northumberland, he slew thy father; And thine, Lord Clifford; and you

both have vow'd revenge On him, his sons, his favourites, and his friends.

NORTHUMBERLAND. If I be not, heavens be reveng'd on me!

CLIFFORD. The hope thereof makes Clifford mourn in steel.

WESTMORELAND. What, shall we suffer this? Let's pluck him down;

My heart for anger burns; I cannot brook it. KING HENRY. Be patient,

gentle Earl of Westmoreland. CLIFFORD. Patience is for poltroons such

as he; He durst not sit there had your father liv'd. My gracious lord, here in

the parliament Let us assail the family of York. NORTHUMBERLAND.

Well hast thou spoken, cousin; be it so. KING HENRY. Ah, know you not

the city favours them, And they have troops of soldiers at their beck?

EXETER. But when the Duke is slain they'll quickly fly. KING HENRY.

Far be the thought of this from Henry's heart, To make a shambles of the

parliament house! Cousin of Exeter, frowns, words, and threats, Shall be

the war that Henry means to use. Thou factious Duke of York, descend my

throne And kneel for grace and mercy at my feet; I am thy sovereign.

YORK. I am thine. EXETER. For shame, come down; he made thee Duke

of York. YORK. 'Twas my inheritance, as the earldom was. EXETER. Thy

father was a traitor to the crown. WARWICK. Exeter, thou art a traitor to

the crown In following this usurping Henry. CLIFFORD. Whom should he

follow but his natural king? WARWICK. True, Clifford; and that's Richard

Duke of York. KING HENRY. And shall I stand, and thou sit in my throne?

YORK. It must and shall be so; content thyself. WARWICK. Be Duke of

Lancaster; let him be King. WESTMORELAND. He is both King and

Duke of Lancaster; And that the Lord of Westmoreland shall maintain.

King Henry VI, Part 3

WARWICK. And Warwick shall disprove it. You forget That we are those

which chas'd you from the field, And slew your fathers, and with colours

spread March'd through the city to the palace gates.

NORTHUMBERLAND. Yes, Warwick, I remember it to my grief; And,

by his soul, thou and thy house shall rue it. WESTMORELAND.

Plantagenet, of thee, and these thy sons, Thy kinsmen, and thy friends, I'll

have more lives Than drops of blood were in my father's veins.

CLIFFORD. Urge it no more; lest that instead of words I send thee,

Warwick, such a messenger As shall revenge his death before I stir.

WARWICK. Poor Clifford, how I scorn his worthless threats! YORK. Will

you we show our title to the crown? If not, our swords shall plead it in the

field. KING HENRY. What title hast thou, traitor, to the crown? Thy father

was, as thou art, Duke of York; Thy grandfather, Roger Mortimer, Earl of

March: I am the son of Henry the Fifth, Who made the Dauphin and the

French to stoop, And seiz'd upon their towns and provinces. WARWICK.

Talk not of France, sith thou hast lost it all. KING HENRY. The Lord

Protector lost it, and not I: When I was crown'd, I was but nine months old.

RICHARD. You are old enough now, and yet methinks you lose. Father,

tear the crown from the usurper's head. EDWARD. Sweet father, do so; set

it on your head. MONTAGUE. Good brother, as thou lov'st and honourest

arms, Let's fight it out and not stand cavilling thus. RICHARD. Sound

drums and trumpets, and the King will fly. YORK. Sons, peace! KING

HENRY. Peace thou! and give King Henry leave to speak. WARWICK.

Plantagenet shall speak first. Hear him, lords; And be you silent and

attentive too, For he that interrupts him shall not live. KING HENRY.

Think'st thou that I will leave my kingly throne, Wherein my grandsire

and my father sat? No; first shall war unpeople this my realm; Ay, and

their colours, often borne in France, And now in England to our heart's

great sorrow, Shall be my winding-sheet. Why faint you, lords? My title's

good, and better far than his. WARWICK. Prove it, Henry, and thou shalt

be King. KING HENRY. Henry the Fourth by conquest got the crown.

YORK. 'Twas by rebellion against his king. KING HENRY. [Aside] I

know not what to say; my title's weak.- Tell me, may not a king adopt an

heir? YORK. What then? KING HENRY. An if he may, then am I lawful

King Henry VI, Part 3

King; For Richard, in the view of many lords, Resign'd the crown to

Henry the Fourth, Whose heir my father was, and I am his. YORK. He

rose against him, being his sovereign, And made him to resign his crown

perforce. WARWICK. Suppose, my lords, he did it unconstrain'd, Think

you 'twere prejudicial to his crown? EXETER. No; for he could not so

resign his crown But that the next heir should succeed and reign. KING

HENRY. Art thou against us, Duke of Exeter? EXETER. His is the right,

and therefore pardon me. YORK. Why whisper you, my lords, and answer

not? EXETER. My conscience tells me he is lawful King. KING HENRY.

[Aside] All will revolt from me, and turn to him. NORTHUMBERLAND.

Plantagenet, for all the claim thou lay'st, Think not that Henry shall be so

depos'd. WARWICK. Depos'd he shall be, in despite of all.

NORTHUMBERLAND. Thou art deceiv'd. 'Tis not thy southern power Of

Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, nor of Kent, Which makes thee thus

presumptuous and proud, Can set the Duke up in despite of me.

CLIFFORD. King Henry, be thy title right or wrong, Lord Clifford vows

to fight in thy defence. May that ground gape, and swallow me alive,

Where I shall kneel to him that slew my father! KING HENRY. O Clifford,

how thy words revive my heart! YORK. Henry of Lancaster, resign thy

crown. What mutter you, or what conspire you, lords? WARWICK. Do

right unto this princely Duke of York; Or I will fill the house with armed

men, And over the chair of state, where now he sits, Write up his title with

usurping blood. [He stamps with his foot and the soldiers show themselves]

KING HENRY. My Lord of Warwick, hear but one word: Let me for this

my life-time reign as king. YORK. Confirm the crown to me and to mine

heirs, And thou shalt reign in quiet while thou liv'st. KING HENRY. I am

content. Richard Plantagenet, Enjoy the kingdom after my decease.

CLIFFORD. What wrong is this unto the Prince your son! WARWICK.

What good is this to England and himself! WESTMORELAND. Base,

fearful, and despairing Henry! CLIFFORD. How hast thou injur'd both

thyself and or us! WESTMORELAND. I cannot stay to hear these articles.

NORTHUMBERLAND. Nor I. CLIFFORD. Come, cousin, let us tell the

Queen these news. WESTMORELAND. Farewell, faint-hearted and

degenerate king, In whose cold blood no spark of honour bides.

King Henry VI, Part 3

NORTHUMBERLAND. Be thou a prey unto the house of York And die in

bands for this unmanly deed! CLIFFORD. In dreadful war mayst thou be

overcome, Or live in peace abandon'd and despis'd! Exeunt

NORTHUMBERLAND, CLIFFORD, and WESTMORELAND

WARWICK. Turn this way, Henry, and regard them not. EXETER. They

seek revenge, and therefore will not yield. KING HENRY. Ah, Exeter!

WARWICK. Why should you sigh, my lord? KING HENRY. Not for

myself, Lord Warwick, but my son, Whom I unnaturally shall disinherit.

But be it as it may. [To YORK] I here entail The crown to thee and to thine

heirs for ever; Conditionally, that here thou take an oath To cease this civil

war, and, whilst I live, To honour me as thy king and sovereign, And

neither by treason nor hostility To seek to put me down and reign thyself.

YORK. This oath I willingly take, and will perform. [Coming from the

throne] WARWICK. Long live King Henry! Plantagenet, embrace him.

KING HENRY. And long live thou, and these thy forward sons! YORK.

Now York and Lancaster are reconcil'd. EXETER. Accurs'd be he that

seeks to make them foes! [Sennet. Here they come down] YORK.

Farewell, my gracious lord; I'll to my castle. WARWICK. And I'll keep

London with my soldiers. NORFOLK. And I to Norfolk with my

followers. MONTAGUE. And I unto the sea, from whence I came. Exeunt

the YORKISTS KING HENRY. And I, with grief and sorrow, to the court.

Enter QUEEN MARGARET and the PRINCE OF WALES

EXETER. Here comes the Queen, whose looks bewray her anger. I'll

steal away. KING HENRY. Exeter, so will I. QUEEN MARGARET. Nay,

go not from me; I will follow thee. KING HENRY. Be patient, gentle

queen, and I will stay. QUEEN MARGARET. Who can be patient in such

extremes? Ah, wretched man! Would I had died a maid, And never seen

thee, never borne thee son, Seeing thou hast prov'd so unnatural a father!

Hath he deserv'd to lose his birthright thus? Hadst thou but lov'd him half

so well as I, Or felt that pain which I did for him once, Or nourish'd him as

I did with my blood, Thou wouldst have left thy dearest heart-blood there

Rather than have made that savage duke thine heir, And disinherited thine

only son. PRINCE OF WALES. Father, you cannot disinherit me. If you

be King, why should not I succeed? KING HENRY. Pardon me, Margaret;

King Henry VI, Part 3

pardon me, sweet son. The Earl of Warwick and the Duke enforc'd me.

QUEEN MARGARET. Enforc'd thee! Art thou King and wilt be forc'd? I

shame to hear thee speak. Ah, timorous wretch! Thou hast undone thyself,

thy son, and me; And giv'n unto the house of York such head As thou shalt

reign but by their sufferance. To entail him and his heirs unto the crown,

What is it but to make thy sepulchre And creep into it far before thy time?

Warwick is Chancellor and the lord of Calais; Stern Falconbridge

commands the narrow seas; The Duke is made Protector of the realm; And

yet shalt thou be safe? Such safety finds The trembling lamb environed

with wolves. Had I been there, which am a silly woman, The soldiers

should have toss'd me on their pikes Before I would have granted to that

act. But thou prefer'st thy life before thine honour; And seeing thou dost, I

here divorce myself, Both from thy table, Henry, and thy bed, Until that

act of parliament be repeal'd Whereby my son is disinherited. The northern

lords that have forsworn thy colours Will follow mine, if once they see

them spread; And spread they shall be, to thy foul disgrace And utter ruin

of the house of York. Thus do I leave thee. Come, son, let's away; Our

army is ready; come, we'll after them. KING HENRY. Stay, gentle

Margaret, and hear me speak. QUEEN MARGARET. Thou hast spoke too

much already; get thee gone. KING HENRY. Gentle son Edward, thou

wilt stay with me? QUEEN MARGARET. Ay, to be murder'd by his

enemies. PRINCE OF WALES. When I return with victory from the field

I'll see your Grace; till then I'll follow her. QUEEN MARGARET. Come,

son, away; we may not linger thus. Exeunt QUEEN MARGARET and the

PRINCE KING HENRY. Poor queen! How love to me and to her son Hath

made her break out into terms of rage! Reveng'd may she be on that

hateful Duke, Whose haughty spirit, winged with desire, Will cost my

crown, and like an empty eagle Tire on the flesh of me and of my son! The

loss of those three lords torments my heart. I'll write unto them, and

entreat them fair; Come, cousin, you shall be the messenger. EXETER.

And I, I hope, shall reconcile them all. Exeunt

King Henry VI, Part 3

SCENE II. Sandal Castle, near Wakefield, in

Yorkshire

Flourish. Enter EDWARD, RICHARD, and MONTAGUE

RICHARD. Brother, though I be youngest, give me leave. EDWARD.

No, I can better play the orator. MONTAGUE. But I have reasons strong

and forcible.

Enter the DUKE OF YORK

YORK. Why, how now, sons and brother! at a strife? What is your

quarrel? How began it first? EDWARD. No quarrel, but a slight contention.

YORK. About what? RICHARD. About that which concerns your Grace

and us- The crown of England, father, which is yours. YORK. Mine, boy?

Not till King Henry be dead. RICHARD. Your right depends not on his

life or death. EDWARD. Now you are heir, therefore enjoy it now. By

giving the house of Lancaster leave to breathe, It will outrun you, father,

in the end. YORK. I took an oath that he should quietly reign. EDWARD.

But for a kingdom any oath may be broken: I would break a thousand

oaths to reign one year. RICHARD. No; God forbid your Grace should be

forsworn. YORK. I shall be, if I claim by open war. RICHARD. I'll prove

the contrary, if you'll hear me speak. YORK. Thou canst not, son; it is

impossible. RICHARD. An oath is of no moment, being not took Before a

true and lawful magistrate That hath authority over him that swears. Henry

had none, but did usurp the place; Then, seeing 'twas he that made you to

depose, Your oath, my lord, is vain and frivolous. Therefore, to arms. And,

father, do but think How sweet a thing it is to wear a crown, Within whose

circuit is Elysium And all that poets feign of bliss and joy. Why do we

linger thus? I cannot rest Until the white rose that I wear be dy'd Even in

the lukewarm blood of Henry's heart. YORK. Richard, enough; I will be

King, or die. Brother, thou shalt to London presently And whet on

Warwick to this enterprise. Thou, Richard, shalt to the Duke of Norfolk

And tell him privily of our intent. You, Edward, shall unto my Lord

Cobham, With whom the Kentishmen will willingly rise; In them I trust,

for they are soldiers, Witty, courteous, liberal, full of spirit. While you are

King Henry VI, Part 3

thus employ'd, what resteth more But that I seek occasion how to rise, And

yet the King not privy to my drift, Nor any of the house of Lancaster?

Enter a MESSENGER

But, stay. What news? Why com'st thou in such post? MESSENGER.

The Queen with all the northern earls and lords Intend here to besiege you

in your castle. She is hard by with twenty thousand men; And therefore

fortify your hold, my lord. YORK. Ay, with my sword. What! think'st thou

that we fear them? Edward and Richard, you shall stay with me; My

brother Montague shall post to London. Let noble Warwick, Cobham, and

the rest, Whom we have left protectors of the King, With pow'rful policy

strengthen themselves And trust not simple Henry nor his oaths.

MONTAGUE. Brother, I go; I'll win them, fear it not. And thus most

humbly I do take my leave. Exit

Enter SIR JOHN and SIR HUGH MORTIMER

YORK. Sir john and Sir Hugh Mortimer, mine uncles! You are come

to Sandal in a happy hour; The army of the Queen mean to besiege us. SIR

JOHN. She shall not need; we'll meet her in the field. YORK. What, with

five thousand men? RICHARD. Ay, with five hundred, father, for a need.

A woman's general; what should we fear? [A march afar off] EDWARD. I

hear their drums. Let's set our men in order, And issue forth and bid them

battle straight. YORK. Five men to twenty! Though the odds be great, I

doubt not, uncle, of our victory. Many a battle have I won in France, When

as the enemy hath been ten to one; Why should I not now have the like

success? Exeunt
