Henry VI, Part III
[III, 1]

Henry VI

1423

More than I seem, and less than I was born to:
A man at least, for less I should not be;
And men may talk of kings, and why not I?

Richard III (Duke of Gloucester)

Queen Elizabeth

2268

I am inform'd that he comes towards London,
To set the crown once more on Henry's head:
Guess thou the rest; King Edward's friends must down,
But, to prevent the tyrant's violence,—
For trust not him that hath once broken faith,—
I'll hence forthwith unto the sanctuary,
To save at least the heir of Edward's right:
There shall I rest secure from force and fraud.
Come, therefore, let us fly while we may fly:
If Warwick take us we are sure to die.

But, master mayor, if Henry be your king,
Yet Edward at the least is Duke of York.

Richard III (Duke of Gloucester)

I thought, at least, he would have said the king;
Or did he make the jest against his will?
