Henry VI

What title hast thou, traitor, to the crown?

Who made the Dauphin and the French to stoop
And seized upon their towns and provinces.

Well I will arm me, being thus forewarn'd:
They shall have wars and pay for their presumption.
But say, is Warwick friends with Margaret?

Henry VI, Part III
[IV, 6]

Earl of Warwick

2362

Why, then, though loath, yet must I be content:
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.

And take the great-grown traitor unawares:
Brave warriors, march amain towards Coventry.

Prince Edward

Speak like a subject, proud ambitious York!
Suppose that I am now my father's mouth;
Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou,
Whilst I propose the selfsame words to thee,
Which traitor, thou wouldst have me answer to.
