Henry VI, Part III
[I, 3]

Lord Clifford

402

Had thy brethren here, their lives and thine
Were not revenge sufficient for me;
No, if I digg'd up thy forefathers' graves
And hung their rotten coffins up in chains,
It could not slake mine ire, nor ease my heart.
The sight of any of the house of York
Is as a fury to torment my soul;
And till I root out their accursed line
And leave not one alive, I live in hell.

Henry VI, Part III
[III, 3]

Earl of Warwick

1848

Henry now lives in Scotland at his ease,
Where having nothing, nothing can he lose.

You have a father able to maintain you;
And better 'twere you troubled him than France.

Henry VI, Part III
[IV, 6]

Earl of Warwick

2362

We'll yoke together, like a double shadow
To Henry's body, and supply his place;
I mean, in bearing weight of government,
While he enjoys the honour and his ease.
And, Clarence, now then it is more than needful
Forthwith that Edward be pronounced a traitor,
And all his lands and goods be confiscate.

By heaven, I will not do thee so much ease.
