Act V, Scene iii
|
| |
[Flourish. Enter KING EDWARD in triumph; with CLARENCE, GLOSTER, 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, threatEning 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. | |
|
|
| | GLOSTER.: | |
| | 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.: | |
| | We are advertis'd by our loving friends | |
| | That they do hold their course toward Tewkesbury. | |
| | 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. | |
