Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Richard Plantagenet (Duke of Gloucester) |
4 |
While we pursued 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,
Charged our main battle's front, and breaking in
Were by the swords of common soldiers slain.

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
King Edward IV (Plantagenet) |
12 |
Lord Stafford's father, Duke of Buckingham,
Is either slain or wounded dangerously;
I cleft his beaver with a downright blow:
That this is true, father, behold his blood.
|
3 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Marquess of Montague |

And, brother, here's the Earl of Wiltshire's blood,
Whom I encounter'd as the battles join'd.

Richard Plantagenet (Duke of Gloucester) |

Richard hath best deserved of all my sons.
But is your grace dead, my Lord of Somerset?

Such hope have all the line of John of Gaunt!

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Earl of Warwick |
24 |
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'

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Richard Plantagenet (Duke of Gloucester) |
39 |
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.
|
8 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Earl of Warwick |
43 |
The bloody parliament shall this be call'd,
Unless Plantagenet, Duke of York, be king,
And bashful Henry deposed, whose cowardice
Hath made us by-words to our enemies.
|
9 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Richard Plantagenet (Duke of Gloucester) |

Then leave me not, my lords; be resolute;
I mean to take possession of my right.

[I, 1] |
Henry VI |
56 |
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.

67 |
Be patient, gentle Earl of Westmoreland.
|
12 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Lord Clifford |
68 |
Patience is for poltroons, such as he:
He durst not sit there, had your father lived.
My gracious lord, here in the parliament
Let us assail the family of York.
|

[I, 1] |
Henry VI |
73 |
Ah, know you not the city favours them,
And they have troops of soldiers at their beck?
|
14 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Henry VI |
76 |
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.
|
15 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Duke of Exeter |
84 |
For shame, come down: he made thee Duke of York.
|

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Earl of Warwick |

True, Clifford; and that's Richard Duke of York.

Be Duke of Lancaster; let him be king.

He is both king and Duke of Lancaster;
And that the Lord of Westmoreland shall maintain.
|
19 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Earl of Westmoreland |
102 |
Plantagenet, of thee and these thy sons,
Thy kinsman and thy friends, I'll have more lives
Than drops of blood were in my father's veins.
|
20 |
Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Lord Clifford |
105 |
Urge it no more; lest that, instead of words,
I send thee, Warwick, such a messenger
As shall revenge his death before I stir.
