Enter MONTAGUE； with drum and colours
MONTAGUE。 Montague； Montague； for Lancaster！ ＇He and his
forces enter the city＇ GLOUCESTER。 Thou and thy brother both shall buy
this treason Even with the dearest blood your bodies bear。 KING
EDWARD。 The harder match'd； the greater victory。 My mind presageth
happy gain and conquest。
Enter SOMERSET； with drum and colours
SOMERSET。 Somerset； Somerset； for Lancaster！ ＇He and his forces
enter the city＇ GLOUCESTER。 Two of thy name； both Dukes of Somerset；
Have sold their lives unto the house of York； And thou shalt be the third； if

this sword hold。 Enter CLARENCE； with drum and colours
WARWICK。 And lo where George of Clarence sweeps along； Of
force enough to bid his brother battle； With whom an upright zeal to right
prevails More than the nature of a brother's love。 CLARENCE。 Clarence；
Clarence； for Lancaster！ KING EDWARD。 Et tu Brute… wilt thou stab
Caesar too？ A parley； sirrah； to George of Clarence。 ＇Sound a parley。
RICHARD and CLARENCE whisper＇ WARWICK。 Come； Clarence；
come。 Thou wilt if Warwick call。 CLARENCE。 ＇Taking the red rose from
his hat and throwing it at WARWICK＇ Father of Warwick； know you what
this means？ Look here； I throw my infamy at thee。 I will not ruinate my
father's house； Who gave his blood to lime the stones together； And set up
Lancaster。 Why； trowest thou； Warwick； That Clarence is so harsh； so
blunt； unnatural； To bend the fatal instruments of war Against his brother
and his lawful King？ Perhaps thou wilt object my holy oath。 To keep that
oath were more impiety Than Jephtha when he sacrific'd his daughter。 I
am so sorry for my trespass made That； to deserve well at my brother's
hands； I here proclaim myself thy mortal foe； With resolution whereso'er I
meet thee… As I will meet thee； if thou stir abroad… To plague thee for thy
foul misleading me。 And so； proud…hearted Warwick； I defy thee； And to
my brother turn my blushing cheeks。 Pardon me； Edward； I will make
amends； And； Richard； do not frown upon my faults； For I will henceforth
be no more unconstant。 KING EDWARD。 Now welcome more； and ten
times more belov'd； Than if thou never hadst deserv'd our hate。
GLOUCESTER。 Welcome； good Clarence； this is brother…like。
WARWICK。 O passing traitor； perjur'd and unjust！ KING EDWARD。
What； Warwick； wilt thou leave die town and fight？
Or shall we beat the stones about thine ears？ WARWICK。 Alas； I am
not coop'd here for defence！ I will away towards Barnet presently And bid
thee battle； Edward； if thou dar'st。 KING EDWARD。 Yes； Warwick；
Edward dares and leads the way。 Lords； to the field； Saint George and
victory！ Exeunt YORKISTS ＇March。 WARWICK and his company
follow＇

SCENE II。 A field of battle near Barnet
Alarum and excursions。 Enter KING EDWARD； bringing forth
WARWICK； wounded
KING EDWARD。 So； lie thou there。 Die thou； and die our fear； For
Warwick was a bug that fear'd us all。 Now； Montague； sit fast； I seek for
thee； That Warwick's bones may keep thine company。 Exit WARWICK。
Ah； who is nigh？ Come to me； friend or foe； And tell me who is victor；
York or Warwick？ Why ask I that？ My mangled body shows； My blood；
my want of strength； my sick heart shows； That I must yield my body to
the earth And； by my fall； the conquest to my foe。 Thus yields the cedar to
the axe's edge； Whose arms gave shelter to the princely eagle； Under
whose shade the ramping lion slept； Whose top…branch overpeer'd Jove's
spreading tree And kept low shrubs from winter's pow'rful wind。 These
eyes； that now are dimm'd with death's black veil； Have been as piercing
as the mid…day sun To search the secret treasons of the world； The
wrinkles in my brows； now fill'd with blood； Were lik'ned oft to kingly
sepulchres； For who liv'd King； but I could dig his grave？ And who durst
smile when Warwick bent his brow？ Lo now my glory smear'd in dust and
blood！ My parks； my walks； my manors； that I had； Even now forsake me；
and of all my lands Is nothing left me but my body's length。 what is pomp；
rule； reign； but earth and dust？ And live we how we can； yet die we must。
Enter OXFORD and SOMERSET
SOMERSET。 Ah； Warwick； Warwick！ wert thou as we are； We might
recover all our loss again。 The Queen from France hath brought a puissant
power； Even now we heard the news。 Ah； couldst thou fly！ WARWICK。
Why then； I would not fly。 Ah； Montague； If thou be there； sweet brother；
take my hand； And with thy lips keep in my soul a while！ Thou lov'st me
not； for； brother； if thou didst； Thy tears would wash this cold congealed
blood That glues my lips and will not let me speak。 Come quickly；
Montague； or I am dead。 SOMERSET。 Ah； Warwick！ Montague hath
breath'd his last； And to the latest gasp cried out for Warwick； And said
'Commend me to my valiant brother。' And more he would have said； and
more he spoke； Which sounded like a clamour in a vault； That mought not

be distinguish'd； but at last； I well might hear； delivered with a groan； 'O
farewell； Warwick！' WARWICK。 Sweet rest his soul！ Fly； lords； and save
yourselves： For Warwick bids you all farewell； to meet in heaven。 ＇Dies＇
OXFORD。 Away； away； to meet the Queen's great power！ ＇Here they bear
away his body＇

SCENE III。 Another part of the field
Flourish。 Enter KING in triumph； with GLOUCESTER； CLARENCE；
and the rest
KING EDWARD。 Thus far our fortune keeps an upward course； And
we are grac'd with wreaths of victory。 But in the midst of this bright…
shining day I spy a black； suspicious； threat'ning cloud That will encounter
with our glorious sun Ere he attain his easeful western bed… I mean； my
lords； those powers that the Queen Hath rais'd in Gallia have arriv'd our
coast And； as we hear； march on to fight with us。 CLARENCE。 A little
gale will soon disperse that cloud And blow it to the source from whence it
came； Thy very beams will dry those vapours up； For every cloud
engenders not a storm。 GLOUCESTER。 The Queen is valued thirty
thousand strong； And Somerset； with Oxford； fled to her。 If she have time
to breathe； be well assur'd Her faction will be full as strong as ours。 KING
EDWARD。 are advertis'd by our loving friends That they do hold their
course toward Tewksbury； We； having now the best at Barnet field； Will
thither straight； for willingness rids way； And as we march our strength
will be augmented In every county as we go along。 Strike up the drum； cry
'Courage！' and away。 Exeunt

SCENE IV。 Plains wear Tewksbury
Flourish。 March。 Enter QUEEN MARGARET； PRINCE EDWARD；
SOMERSET； OXFORD； and SOLDIERS
QUEEN MARGARET。 Great lords； wise men ne'er sit and wail their
loss； But cheerly seek how to redress their harms。 What though the mast
be now blown overboard； The cable broke； the holding…anchor lost； And
half our sailors swallow'd in the flood； Yet lives our pilot still。 Is't meet
that he Should leave the helm and； like a fearful lad； With tearful eyes add
water to the sea And give more strength to that which hath too much；
Whiles； in his moan； the ship splits on the rock； Which industry and
courage might have sav'd？ Ah； what a shame！ ah； what a fault were this！
Say Warwick was our anchor； what of that？ And Montague our top…mast；
what of him？ Our slaught'red friends the tackles； what of these？ Why； is
not Oxford here another anchor？ And Som
