English drama
_Son._ I’ll bear thee hence, where I may weep my fill. [cbe113]
[_Exit with the body._
_Fath._ These arms of mine shall be thy winding-sheet;
My heart, sweet boy, shall be thy sepulchre, ·cbe115·
For from my heart thine image ne’er shall go;
My sighing breast shall be thy funeral bell;
And so obsequious will thy father be,
Even for the loss of thee, having no more, [cbe119]
As Priam was for all his valiant sons. ·cbe120·
I’ll bear thee hence; and let them fight that will,
For I have murdered where I should not kill. [cbe122]
[_Exit with the body._
_K. Hen._ Sad-hearted men, much overgone with care,
Here sits a king more woful than you are.
_Alarums: excursions. Enter_ QUEEN MARGARET, _the_ PRINCE,
_and_ EXETER.
_Prince._ Fly, father, fly! for all your friends are fled, [cbe125]
And Warwick rages like a chafed bull:
Away! for death doth hold us in pursuit.
_Q. Mar._ Mount you, my lord; towards Berwick post amain:
Edward and Richard, like a brace of greyhounds
Having the fearful flying hare in sight, ·cbe130·
With fiery eyes sparkling for very wrath,
And bloody steel grasp’d in their ireful hands,
Are at our backs; and therefore hence amain.
_Exe._ Away! for vengeance comes along with them:
Nay, stay not to expostulate, make speed; ·cbe135·
Or else come after: I’ll away before.
_K. Hen._ Nay, take me with thee, good sweet Exeter:
Not that I fear to stay, but love to go
Whither the queen intends. Forward; away! [_Exeunt._ [cbe139]
SCENE VI. _Another part of the field_.
_A loud alarum. Enter_ CLIFFORD, _wounded_.
