Henry VI, Part III
[I, 1] |
Henry VI |
131 |
Think'st thou that I will leave my kingly throne,
Wherein my grandsire and my father sat?
No: first shall war unpeople this my realm;
Ay, and their colours, often borne in France,
And now in England to our heart's great sorrow,
Shall be my winding-sheet. Why faint you, lords?
My title's good, and better far than his.

And I, with grief and sorrow, to the court.

Henry VI, Part III
[I, 4] |
Earl of Northumberland |
610 |
Had he been slaughter-man to all my kin,
I should not for my life but weep with him.
To see how inly sorrow gripes his soul.

Henry VI |

Was ever king so grieved for subjects' woe?
Much is your sorrow; mine ten times so much.

O, but impatience waiteth on true sorrow.
And see where comes the breeder of my sorrow!

Mine, full of sorrow and heart's discontent.

Henry VI, Part III
[III, 3] |
Earl of Warwick |
1962 |
I came from Edward as ambassador,
But I return his sworn and mortal foe:
Matter of marriage was the charge he gave me,
But dreadful war shall answer his demand.
Had he none else to make a stale but me?
Then none but I shall turn his jest to sorrow.
I was the chief that raised him to the crown,
And I'll be chief to bring him down again:
Not that I pity Henry's misery,
But seek revenge on Edward's mockery.

Henry VI, Part III
[IV, 1] |
Queen Elizabeth |
2042 |
My lords, before it pleased his majesty
To raise my state to title of a queen,
Do me but right, and you must all confess
That I was not ignoble of descent;
And meaner than myself have had like fortune.
But as this title honours me and mine,
So your dislike, to whom I would be pleasing,
Doth cloud my joys with danger and with sorrow.

King Edward IV (Plantagenet) |
2050 |
My love, forbear to fawn upon their frowns:
What danger or what sorrow can befall thee,
So long as Edward is thy constant friend,
And their true sovereign, whom they must obey?
Nay, whom they shall obey, and love thee too,
Unless they seek for hatred at my hands;
Which if they do, yet will I keep thee safe,
And they shall feel the vengeance of my wrath.
