Henry VI, Part III
[IV, 7]

King Edward IV (Plantagenet)

2461

So, master mayor: these gates must not be shut
But in the night or in the time of war.
What! fear not, man, but yield me up the keys;
[Takes his keys]
For Edward will defend the town and thee,
And all those friends that deign to follow me.
