Well hast thou spoken, cousin: be it so.

[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.

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Earl of Warwick

Exeter, thou art a traitor to the crown
In following this usurping Henry.

And shall I stand, and thou sit in my throne?

Yes, Warwick, I remember it to my grief;
And, by his soul, thou and thy house shall rue it.

Henry VI

111

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 seized upon their towns and provinces.

Let's fight it out and not stand cavilling thus.

Henry VI

131

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.

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

15

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Earl of Northumberland

162

Thou art deceived: '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.

And thou shalt reign in quiet while thou livest.

18

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Earl of Northumberland

194

Be thou a prey unto the house of York,
And die in bands for this unmanly deed!

19

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Lord Clifford

196

In dreadful war mayst thou be overcome,
Or live in peace abandon'd and despised!

20

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1]

Henry VI

203

Not for myself, Lord Warwick, but my son,
Whom I unnaturally shall disinherit.
But be it as it may: 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.
