Shakespeare, William
English drama
_Rich._ Brother, give me thy hand; and, gentle Warwick, [cbc044]
Let me embrace thee in my weary arms: ·cbc045·
I, that did never weep, now melt with woe
That winter should cut off our spring-time so.
_War._ Away, away! Once more, sweet lords, farewell. [cbc048]
_Geo._ Yet let us all together to our troops, [cbc049]
And give them leave to fly that will not stay; ·cbc050·
And call them pillars that will stand to us;
And, if we thrive, promise them such rewards
As victors wear at the Olympian games: [cbc053]
This may plant courage in their quailing breasts;
For yet is hope of life and victory. ·cbc055·
Forslow no longer, make we hence amain. [_Exeunt._ [cbc056]
SCENE IV. _Another part of the field_.
_Excursions. Enter_ RICHARD _and_ CLIFFORD.
_Rich._ Now, Clifford, I have singled thee alone: [cbd001]
Suppose this arm is for the Duke of York,
And this for Rutland; both bound to revenge,
Wert thou environ’d with a brazen wall.
_Clif._ Now, Richard, I am with thee here alone: ·cbd005·
This is the hand that stabb’d thy father York;
And this the hand that slew thy brother Rutland;
And here’s the heart that triumphs in their death
And cheers these hands that slew thy sire and brother
To execute the like upon thyself; ·cbd010·
And so, have at thee! [cbd011]
[_They fight. Warwick comes; Clifford flies._
_Rich._ Nay, Warwick, single out some other chase;
For I myself will hunt this wolf to death. [_Exeunt._
SCENE V. _Another part of the field_.
_Alarum. Enter_ KING HENRY _alone_.
