King Henry VI； Part 3
SCENE I。 London。 The Parliament House
Alarum。 Enter DUKE OF YORK； EDWARD； RICHARD； NORFOLK；
MONTAGUE； WARWICK； and soldiers； with white roses in their hats
WARWICK。 I wonder how the King escap'd our hands。 YORK。
While we pursu'd 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； Charg'd our main battle's
front； and； breaking in； Were by the swords of common soldiers slain。
EDWARD。 Lord Stafford's father； Duke of Buckingham； Is either slain or
wounded dangerous； I cleft his beaver with a downright blow。 That this is
true； father； behold his blood。 MONTAGUE。 And； brother； here's the Earl
of Wiltshire's blood； Whom I encount'red as the battles join'd。 RICHARD。
Speak thou for me； and tell them what I did。 ＇Throwing down
SOMERSET'S head＇ YORK。 Richard hath best deserv'd of all my sons。
But is your Grace dead； my Lord of Somerset？ NORFOLK。 Such hope
have all the line of John of Gaunt！ RICHARD。 Thus do I hope to shake
King Henry's head。 WARWICK。 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'。 YORK。 Assist me then； sweet Warwick； and I
will； For hither we have broken in by force。 NORFOLK。 We'll all assist
you； he that flies shall die。 YORK。 Thanks； gentle Norfolk。 Stay by me；
my lords； And； soldiers； stay and lodge by me this night。 ＇They go up＇
WARWICK。 And when the King comes； offer him no violence。 Unless he
seek to thrust you out perforce。 YORK。 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。 RICHARD。 Arm'd as we are； let's stay within this
house。 WARWICK。 The bloody parliament shall this be call'd； Unless
Plantagenet； Duke of York； be King； And bashful Henry depos'd； whose
cowardice Hath made us by…words to our enemies。 YORK。 Then leave me
not； my lords； be resolute： I mean to take possession of my right。

WARWICK。 Neither the King； nor he that loves him best； The proudest he
that holds up Lancaster； Dares stir a wing if Warwick shake his bells。 I'll
plant Plantagenet； root him up who dares。 Resolve thee； Richard； claim the
English crown。 ＇YORK occupies the throne＇
Flourish。 Enter KING HENRY； CLIFFORD； NORTHUMBERLAND；
WESTMORELAND； EXETER； and others； with red roses in their hats
KING HENRY。 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。
NORTHUMBERLAND。 If I be not； heavens be reveng'd on me！
CLIFFORD。 The hope thereof makes Clifford mourn in steel。
WESTMORELAND。 What； shall we suffer this？ Let's pluck him down；
My heart for anger burns； I cannot brook it。 KING HENRY。 Be patient；
gentle Earl of Westmoreland。 CLIFFORD。 Patience is for poltroons such
as he； He durst not sit there had your father liv'd。 My gracious lord； here in
the parliament Let us assail the family of York。 NORTHUMBERLAND。
Well hast thou spoken； cousin； be it so。 KING HENRY。 Ah； know you not
the city favours them； And they have troops of soldiers at their beck？
EXETER。 But when the Duke is slain they'll quickly fly。 KING HENRY。
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。
YORK。 I am thine。 EXETER。 For shame； come down； he made thee Duke
of York。 YORK。 'Twas my inheritance； as the earldom was。 EXETER。 Thy
father was a traitor to the crown。 WARWICK。 Exeter； thou art a traitor to
the crown In following this usurping Henry。 CLIFFORD。 Whom should he
follow but his natural king？ WARWICK。 True； Clifford； and that's Richard
Duke of York。 KING HENRY。 And shall I stand； and thou sit in my throne？
YORK。 It must and shall be so； content thyself。 WARWICK。 Be Duke of
Lancaster； let him be King。 WESTMORELAND。 He is both King and
Duke of Lancaster； And that the Lord of Westmoreland shall maintain。

WARWICK。 And Warwick shall disprove it。 You forget That we are those
which chas'd you from the field； And slew your fathers； and with colours
spread March'd through the city to the palace gates。
NORTHUMBERLAND。 Yes； Warwick； I remember it to my grief； And；
by his soul； thou and thy house shall rue it。 WESTMORELAND。
Plantagenet； of thee； and these thy sons； Thy kinsmen； and thy friends； I'll
have more lives Than drops of blood were in my father's veins。
CLIFFORD。 Urge it no more； lest that instead of words I send thee；
Warwick； such a messenger As shall revenge his death before I stir。
WARWICK。 Poor Clifford； how I scorn his worthless threats！ YORK。 Will
you we show our title to the crown？ If not； our swords shall plead it in the
field。 KING HENRY。 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 seiz'd upon their towns and provinces。 WARWICK。
Talk not of France； sith thou hast lost it all。 KING HENRY。 The Lord
Protector lost it； and not I： When I was crown'd； I was but nine months old。
RICHARD。 You are old enough now； and yet methinks you lose。 Father；
tear the crown from the usurper's head。 EDWARD。 Sweet father； do so； set
it on your head。 MONTAGUE。 Good brother； as thou lov'st and honourest
arms； Let's fight it out and not stand cavilling thus。 RICHARD。 Sound
drums and trumpets； and the King will fly。 YORK。 Sons； peace！ KING
HENRY。 Peace thou！ and give King Henry leave to speak。 WARWICK。
Plantagenet shall speak first。 Hear him； lords； And be you silent and
attentive too； For he that interrupts him shall not live。 KING HENRY。
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。 WARWICK。 Prove it； Henry； and thou shalt
be King。 KING HENRY。 Henry the Fourth by conquest got the crown。
YORK。 'Twas by rebellion against his king。 KING HENRY。 ＇Aside＇ I
know not what to say； my title's weak。… Tell me； may not a king adopt an
heir？ YORK。 What then？ KING HENRY。 An if he may； then am I lawful

King； For Richard； in the view of many lords； Resign'd the crown to
Henry the Fourth； Whose heir my father was； and I am his。 YORK。 He
rose against him； being his so
