1 |
For grief that they are past recovery:
|
|
2 |
So God help Warwick, as he loves the land,
|
|
3 |
Unto the main! O father, Maine is lost;
|
|
4 |
Whether your grace be worthy, yea or no,
|
|
5 |
The cardinal's not my better in the field. |
|
6 |
Warwick may live to be the best of all. |
|
7 |
That can I witness; and a fouler fact
|
|
8 |
Image of pride, why should I hold my peace?
|
|
9 |
Sweet York, begin: and if thy claim be good,
|
|
10 |
Father, the duke hath told the truth:
|
|
11 |
What plain proceeding is more plain than this?
|
|
12 |
My heart assures me that the Earl of Warwick
|
|
13 |
It is reported, mighty sovereign,
|
|
14 |
That shall I do, my liege. Stay, Salisbury,
|
|
15 |
Come hither, gracious sovereign, view this body. |
|
16 |
As surely as my soul intends to live
|
|
17 |
See how the blood is settled in his face.
|
|
18 |
But both of you were vow'd Duke Humphrey's foes,
|
|
19 |
Who finds the heifer dead and bleeding fresh
|
|
20 |
What dares not Warwick, if false Suffolk dare him? |
|
21 |
Madam, be still; with reverence may I say;
|
|
22 |
But that the guilt of murder bucklers thee
|
|
23 |
Away even now, or I will drag thee hence:
|
|
24 |
Beaufort, it is thy sovereign speaks to thee. |
|
25 |
See, how the pangs of death do make him grin! |
|
26 |
So bad a death argues a monstrous life. |
|
27 |
You were best to go to bed and dream again,
|
|
28 |
Now, by my father's badge, old Nevil's crest,
|
|
29 |
Clifford of Cumberland, 'tis Warwick calls:
|
|
30 |
Of one or both of us the time is come. |
|
31 |
Then, nobly, York; 'tis for a crown thou fight'st.
|
|
32 |
After them! nay, before them, if we can.
