Chapter XXIV: Act V: SCENE I. Coventry (7)

_War._ Ah, who is nie? Come to me friend or foe, And tell me who is victor _Yorke_ or _Warwike_? Why aske I that? my mangled bodie shewes, That I must yeeld my bodie to the earth. And by my fall the conquest to my foes, ·eat005· Thus yeelds the Cedar to the axes edge, Whose armes gaue shelter to the princelie Eagle, Vnder whose shade the ramping Lion slept, [eat008] Whose top branch ouerpeerd Ioues spreading tree. The wrinkles in my browes now fild with bloud, ·eat010· Were likened oft to kinglie sepulchers. For who liu’d king, but _I_ could dig his graue? And who durst smile, when _Warwike_ bent his brow? Lo now my glorie smeerd in dust and bloud, My parkes, my walkes, my mannors that _I_ had, [eat015] Euen now forsake me, and of all my lands, Is nothing left me but my bodies length.

Enter _Oxford_ and _Summerset._

_Oxf._ Ah _Warwike_, _Warwike_, cheere vp thy selfe and liue, For yet thears hope enough to win the daie. [eat019] Our warlike _Queene_ with troopes is come from _France_, ·eat020· And at _South-hampton_ landed all hir traine, [eat021] And mightst thou liue, then would we neuer flie. [eat022]

_War._ Whie then I would not flie, nor haue I now, But _Hercules_ himselfe must yeeld to ods, For manie wounds receiu’d, and manie moe repaid, [eat025] Hath robd my strong knit sinews of their strength, And spite of spites needes must I yeeld to death.

_Som._ Thy brother _Montague_ hath breathd his last, And at the pangs of death I heard him crie And saie, commend me to my valiant brother, ·eat030· And more he would haue spoke and more he said, [eat031] Which sounded like a clamor in a vault, [eat032] That could not be distinguisht for the sound, And so the valiant _Montague_ gave vp the ghost.

_War._ What is pompe, rule, raigne, but earth and dust? And liue we how we can, yet die we must. Sweet rest his soule, flie Lords and saue your selues, For _Warwike_ bids you all farewell to meet in Heauen.

He dies.

_Oxf_ Come noble _Summerset_, lets take our horse, [eat039] And cause retrait be sounded through the campe, [eat040] That all our friends that yet remaine aliue, Maie be awarn’d and saue themselues by flight. [eat042] That done, with them weele post vnto the _Queene_, And once more trie our fortune in the field. _Ex. ambo._ [eat044]

Enter _Edward_, _Clarence_, _Gloster_, with souldiers.

_Edw._ Thus still our fortune giues vs victorie, ·eat045· And girts our temples with triumphant ioies, [eat046] The bigboond traytor _Warwike_ hath breathde his last, [eat047] And heauen this daie hath smilde vpon vs all, [eat048] But in this cleere and brightsome daie, _I_ see a blacke suspitious cloud appeare ·eat050· That will encounter with our glorious sunne Before he gaine his easefull westerne beames, I mean those powers which the _Queen_ hath got in _Frāce_ [eat053] Are landed, and meane once more to menace vs.

_Glo._ _Oxford_ and _Summerset_ are fled to hir, [eat055] And tis likelie if she haue time to breath, [eat056] Her faction will be full as strong as ours.

_Edw._ We are aduertisde by our louing friends, That they doe hold their course towards _Tewxburie_. Thither will we, for willingnes rids waie, ·eat060· And in euerie countie as we passe along, [eat061] Our strengthes shall be augmented. [eat062] Come lets goe, for if we slacke this faire [eat063] Bright Summers daie, sharpe winters Showers will marre our hope for haie. _Ex. Omnes._ [eat065]

SCENE XXI.

Enter the _Queene_, _Prince Edward_, _Oxford_, and _Summerset_, with drum and souldiers.

_Quee._ Welcome to _England_, my louing friends of _Frāce_, [eau001] And welcome _Summerset_, and _Oxford_ too. Once more haue we spread our sailes abroad, And though our tackling be almost consumde, And _Warwike_ as our maine mast ouerthrowne, [eau005] Yet warlike Lords raise you that sturdie post, That beares the sailes to bring vs vnto rest, And _Ned_ and _I_ as willing Pilots should For once with carefull mindes guide on the sterne, To beare vs through that dangerous gulfe ·eau010· That heretofore hath swallowed vp our friends.

_Prince._ And if there be, as God forbid there should, Amongst vs a timorous or fearefull man, Let him depart before the battels ioine, [eau014] Least he in time of need intise another, [eau015] And so withdraw the souldiers harts from vs. _I_ will not stand aloofe and bid you fight, But with my sword presse in the thickest thronges, [eau018] And single _Edward_ from his strongest guard, And hand to hand enforce him for to yeeld, ·eau020· Or leaue my bodie as witnesse of my thoughts.

_Oxf._ Women and children of so high resolue, And Warriors faint, why twere perpetuall [eau023] Shame? Oh braue yong Prince, thy [eau024] Noble grandfather doth liue againe in thee, ·eau025· Long maiest thou liue to beare his image, And to renew his glories.

_Sum._ And he that turnes and flies when such do fight, Let him to bed, and like the Owle by daie Be hist, and wondered at if he arise. [eau030]

Enter a Messenger.

_Mes._ My Lords, Duke _Edward_ with a mighty power, Is marching hitherwards to fight with you.

_Oxf._ I thought it was his pollicie, to take vs vnprouided, But here will we stand and fight it to the death. [eau034]

Enter king _Edward_, _Cla._ _Glo._ _Hast._ and Souldiers.

_Edw._ See brothers, yonder stands the thornie wood, ·eau035· Which by Gods assistance and your prowesse, Shall with our swords yer night be cleane cut downe. [eau037]

_Queen._ Lords, Knights & gentlemen, what _I_ should say, My teares gainesaie, for as you see, _I_ drinke The water of mine eies. Then no more [eau040] But this. _Henry_ your king is prisoner [eau041] In the tower, his land and all our friends Are quite distrest, and yonder standes The Wolfe that makes all this, Then on Gods name Lords togither cry saint _George_. ·eau045·

_All._ Saint _George_ for _Lancaster_. [eau046]

Alarmes to the battell, _Yorke_ flies, then the chambers be
discharged. Then enter the king, _Cla._ & _Glo._ and the rest, &
make a great shout, and crie, for _Yorke_, for _Yorke_, and then
the _Queene_ is taken, & the prince, & _Oxf._ & _Sum._ and then
sound and enter all againe.

_Edw._ Lo here a period of tumultuous broiles, Awaie with Oxford to _Hames_ castell straight, For _Summerset_ off with his guiltie head. Awaie I will not heare them speake. ·eau050·

_Oxf._ For my part Ile not trouble thee with words. [eau051]
_Exit_ Oxford.

_Sum._ Nor _I_, but stoope with patience to my death. [eau052]
_Exit Sum._

_Edw._ Now _Edward_ what satisfaction canst thou make, For stirring vp my subiects to rebellion?

_Prin._ Speake like a subiect proud ambitious Yorke, ·eau055· Suppose that I am now my fathers mouth, Resigne thy chaire, and where _I_ stand kneele thou, Whilst _I_ propose the selfesame words to thee, [eau058] Which traytor thou woudst haue me answere to. [eau059]

_Queen._ Oh that thy father had bin so resolu’d: [eau060]

_Glo._ That you might still haue kept your [eau061] Peticote, and nere haue stolne the Breech from _Lancaster_.

_Prince._ Let _Aesop_ fable in a winters night, His currish Riddles sorts not with this place. ·eau065·

_Glo._ By heauen brat _I_le plague you for that word.

_Queen._ I, thou wast borne to be a plague to men.

_Glo._ For Gods sake take awaie this captiue scold.

_Prin_ Nay take away this skolding Crooktbacke rather. [eau069]

_Edw._ Peace wilfull boy, or _I_ will tame your tongue. ·eau070·

_Cla._ Vntuterd lad thou art too malepert. [eau071]

_Prin._ _I_ know my dutie, you are all vndutifull. Lasciuious _Edward_, and thou periurd _George_, And thou mishapen Dicke, I tell you all, I am your better, traytors as you be. ·eau075·

_Edw._ Take that, the litnes of this railer heere. [eau076]

_Queen._ Oh kill me too.

_Glo._ Marrie and shall.

_Edw._ Hold _Richard_ hold, for we haue doone too
(much alreadie. [eau079]

_Glo._ Why should she liue to fill the world with words? ·eau080·

_Ed._ What doth she swound? make meanes for Her recouerie? [eau081]

_Glo._ _Clarence,_ excuse me to the king my brother, _I_ must to London on a serious matter, Ere you come there, you shall heare more newes.

_Cla._ About what, prethe tell me? ·eau085·

_Glo._ The Tower man, the Tower, Ile root them out. _Exit Gloster._

_Queen._ Ah _Ned_, speake to thy mother boy? ah [eau087] Thou canst not speake. Traytors, Tyrants, bloudie Homicides, They that stabd _Cæsar_ shed no bloud at all, ·eau090· For he was a man, this in respect a childe, And men nere spend their furie on a child, Whats worse then tyrant that _I_ maie name, [eau093] You haue no children Deuils, if you had, _T_he thought of them would then haue stopt your rage, ·eau095· But if you euer hope to haue a sonne, Looke in his youth to haue him so cut off, As Traitors you haue doone this sweet young prince.

_Edw._ Awaie, and beare her hence.

_Queen._ Naie nere beare me hence, dispatch [eau100] Me heere, heere sheath thy sword, _I_le pardon thee my death. Wilt thou not? Then _Clarence_, doe thou doe it? [eau103]

_Cla._ By Heauen I would not doe thee so much ease.

_Queen._ Good _Clarence_ doe, sweet Clarence kill me too. ·eau105·

_Cla._ Didst thou not heare me sweare _I_ would not do it?

_Queen._ I, but thou vsest to forsweare thy selfe, Twas sinne before, but now tis charitie. Whears the Diuels butcher, hardfauored _Richard_, [eau109] Richard where art thou? He is not heere, [eau110] Murder is his almes deed, petitioners For bloud he nere put backe. [eau112]

_Edw._ Awaie I saie, and take her hence perforce.

_Queen._ So come to you and yours, as to this prince. [eau114]
_Ex._

_Edw._ _Clarence_, whithers _Gloster_ gone? [eau115]

_Cla_ Marrie my Lord to London, and as I gesse, to [eau116] Make a bloudie supper in the Tower.

_Edw._ He is sudden if a thing come in his head. Well, discharge the common souldiers with paie And thankes, and now let vs towards London, [eau120] To see our gentle Queene how shee doth fare, [eau121] For by this I hope shee hath a sonne for vs. _Exeunt Omnes._

SCENE XXII.

Enter _Gloster_ to king _Henry_ in the Tower.

_Glo._ Good day my Lord. What at your booke so hard?

_Hen._ I my good Lord. Lord _I_ should saie rather, Tis sinne to flatter, good was little better, Good _Gloster_, and good Diuell, were all alike, What scene of Death hath _Rosius_ now to act? ·eav005·

_Glo._ Suspition alwaies haunts a guiltie mind.

_Hen._ The birde once limde doth feare the fatall bush, And I the haplesse maile to one poore bird, Haue now the fatall obiect in mine eie, Where my poore young was limde, was caught & kild. ·eav010·

_Glo._ Why, what a foole was that of Creete? That taught his sonne the office [eav012] Of a birde, and yet for all that the poore Fowle was drownde. [eav014]

_Hen._ _I Dedalus_, my poore sonne _Icarus_, ·eav015· Thy father _Minos_ that denide our course, Thy brother _Edward_, the sunne that searde his wings, And thou the enuious gulfe that swallowed him. [eav018] Oh better can my brest abide thy daggers point, Then can mine eares that tragike historie. ·eav020·

_Glo._ Why dost thou thinke _I_ am an executioner?

_Hen._ A persecutor _I_ am sure thou art, And if murdering innocents be executions, Then I know thou art an executioner.

_Glo._ Thy sonne I kild for his presumption. ·eav025·

_Hen._ Hadst thou bin kild when first thou didst presume, Thou hadst not liude to kill a sonne of mine, And thus _I_ prophesie of thee. That manie a Widdow for her husbands death, And many an infants water standing eie, ·eav030· Widowes for their husbandes, children for their fathers, Shall curse the time that euer thou wert borne. The owle shrikt at thy birth, an euill signe, The night Crow cride, aboding lucklesse tune, [eav034] Dogs howld and hideous tempests shooke down trees, [eav035] The Rauen rookt her on the Chimnies top, And chattering Pies in dismall discord sung, Thy mother felt more then a mothers paine, And yet brought forth lesse then a mothers hope, To wit: an vndigest created lumpe, ·eav040· Not like the fruit of such a goodly tree, Teeth hadst thou in thy head when thou wast borne, To signifie thou camst to bite the world, And if the rest be true that I haue heard, Thou camst into the world He stabs him. [eav045]

_Glo._ Die prophet in thy speech, _I_le heare [eav046] No more, for this amongst the rest, was I ordainde.

_Hen._ _I_ and for much more slaughter after this. O God forgiue my sinnes, and pardon thee. He dies.

_Glo._ What? will the aspiring bloud of _Lancaster_ ·eav050· Sinke into the ground, _I_ had thought it would haue mounted, [eav051] See how my sword weepes for the poore kings death. Now maie such purple teares be alwaies shed, [eav053] For such as seeke the downefall of our house. If anie sparke of life remaine in thee, Stab him againe. [eav055] Downe, downe to hell, and saie I sent thee thither. I that haue neither pittie, loue nor feare. Indeed twas true that _Henry_ told me of, For _I_ haue often heard my mother saie, That I came into the world with my legs forward, [eav060] And had I not reason thinke you to make hast, And seeke their ruines that vsurpt our rights? The women wept and the midwife cride, [eav063] O Iesus blesse vs, he is borne with teeth. And so I was indeed, which plainelie signifide, ·eav065· That _I_ should snarle and bite, and plaie the dogge. Then since Heauen hath made by bodie so, Let hell make crookt my mind to answere it. I had no father, _I_ am like no father, I haue no brothers, _I_ am like no brothers, [eav070] And this word _Loue_ which graybeards tearme diuine, Be resident in men like one another, And not in me, I am my selfe alone. _Clarence_ beware, thou keptst me from the light, But I will sort a pitchie daie for thee. ·eav075· For I will buz abroad such prophesies, [eav076] As _Edward_ shall be fearefull of his life, And then to purge his feare, Ile be thy death. Henry and his sonne are gone, thou Clarence next, [eav079] And by one and one I will dispatch the rest, ·eav080· Counting my selfe but bad, till I be best. Ile drag thy bodie in another roome, And triumph _Henry_ in thy daie of doome. _Exit._

SCENE XXIII.

Enter king _Edward_, _Queene Elizabeth_, and a Nurse with the young prince, and _Clarence_, and _Hastings_, and others.

_Edw._ Once more we sit in England’s royall throne, [eaw001] Repurchasde with the bloud of enemies, What valiant foemen like to _Autumnes_ corne, [eaw003] Haue we mow’d downe in tops of all their pride? Three Dukes of _Summerset_, threefold renowmd [eaw005] For hardie and vndoubted champions. Two _Cliffords_, as the father and the sonne, And two _Northumberlands_, two brauer men Nere spurd their coursers at the trumpets sound. With them the two rough Beares, _Warwike_ and _Montague_, ·eaw010· That in their chaines fettered the kinglie Lion, And made the Forrest tremble when they roard, Thus haue we swept suspition from our seat, And made our footstoole of securitie. Come hither _Besse_, and let me kisse my boie, ·eaw015· Young _Ned_, for thee, thine Vncles and my selfe, Haue in our armors watcht the Winters night, Marcht all a foote in summers skalding heat, [eaw018] That thou mightst repossesse the crowne in peace, And of our labours thou shalt reape the gaine. ·eaw020·

_Glo._ _I_le blast his haruest and your head were laid, [eaw021] For yet I am not lookt on in the world. This shoulder was ordained so thicke to heaue, And heaue it shall some waight or breake my backe, Worke thou the waie, and thou shalt execute. ·eaw025·

_Edward._ _Clarence_ and _Gloster_, loue my louelie Queene, [eaw026] And kisse your princelie nephew brothers both. [eaw027]

_Cla._ The dutie that _I_ owe vnto your, Maiestie, [eaw028] I seale vpon the rosiate lips of this sweet babe.

_Queen._ Thankes noble Clarence worthie brother thankes. ·eaw030·

_Gloster._ And that I loue the fruit from whence thou [eaw031] Sprangst, witnesse the louing kisse I giue the child. To saie the truth so _Iudas_ kist his maister, And so he cride all haile, and meant all harme.

_Edward._ Nowe am _I_ seated as my soule delights, ·eaw035· Hauing my countries peace, and brothers loues. [eaw036]

_Cla._ What will your grace haue done with _Margaret_, [eaw037] _Ranard_ her father to the king of _France_, [eaw038] Hath pawnd the _Cyssels_ and _Ierusalem_, [eaw039] And hither haue they sent it for her ransome. [eaw040]

_Edw._ Awaie with her, and wafte hir hence to _France_, And now what rests but that we spend the time, With stately Triumphs and mirthfull comicke shewes, Such as befits the pleasures of the Court. Sound drums and Trumpets, farewell to sower annoy, ·eaw045· For heere _I_ hope begins our lasting ioie. _Exeunt Omnes._

NOTES TO THE TRUE TRAGEDIE OF RICHARD DUKE OF YORKE.

NOTE I.

XX. 15. Mr Halliwell quotes ‘_and_ walkes’ as the reading of the edition of 1619. Capell’s copy has ‘_my_ walkes.’ In Steevens’s reprint the reading ‘and walkes’ occurs, and Mr Knight has followed him. See note IV to ‘The First part of the Contention,’ &c.

NOTE II.

XXII. 79, 80. Instead of these lines Q3 has

‘King _Henry_, and the Prince his sonne are gone,
And _Clarence_ thou art next must follow them,
So by one and one dispatching all the rest, &c.’
