I crave nothing but my Dukedom. But when the Fox hath gotten in his head, he'll quickly make the body follow after. Why my Lord Maire, what stand you upon points? Open the gates, we are king Henry's friends. Say you so, then I'll open them presently. So my Lord Maire, these gates must not be shut, But in the time of war, give me the keys: What, fear not man for Edward will defend the town and you, despite of all your foes. How now Richard, who is this? Brother, this is sir Iohn Mountgommery, A trusty friend unless I be deceived. Welcome sir Iohn▪ Wherefore come you in arms? To help king Edward in this time of storms, As every loyal subject aught to do. Thanks brave Mountgommery, But I only claim my Dukedom, Until it please God to send the rest. Then sa●e you well▪ Drum strike up and let us March away, I came to serve a king and not a Duke. Nay sta●e sir Iohn, and let us first debate, With what security we may do this thing. What stand you on debating to be brief, Except you presently proclaim yourself our king, I'll hence again, and keep them back that come to Succour you, why should we fight when You pretend no title? Fie brother, fie, stand you upon terms? Resolve yourself, and let us claim the crown. I am resolved once more to claim the crown, And win it too▪ or else to lose my life. I now my sovereign speaketh like himself, And now will I be Edward's Champion, Sound Trumpets, for Edward shall be proclaimed. Edward the fourth by the grace of God, king of England and France, and Lord of Ireland, and whosoever gainsa●es king Edwards Might: by this I challenge him to single sight, long live Edward the fourth. Long live Edward the fourth. We thank you all. Lord Maire lead on the way. For this night we'll harbour here in York, And then is early as the morning sun, lifts up his beams above this horizon we'll march to London, to meet with Warwick: And pull sal●e Henry from the Regal throne. Thus from the prison to this prince lie seat, By God's great mercies am I brought Again, Clarence and Warwick do you Keep the crown, and govern and protect My realm in peace, and I will spend the Remnant of my days, to sins rebuke And my Creator's praise. What answers Clarence to his sovereign's will? Clarence agrees to what king Henry likes. My Lord of Summerset, what pretty Boy is that you seem to be so careful of? And it please your grace, it is young Henry, Earl of Richmond. Henry of Richmond, Come hither pretty Lad. If heavenly powers do aim aright To my divining thoughts, thou pretty boy, Shalt prove this Country's bliss, Thy head is made to wear a princely crown, Thy looks are all replete with Majesty, Make much of him my Lords, For this is he shall help you more, Than you are hurt by me.
