_War._ This is his tent; and see where stand his guard. [cdc023] Courage, my masters! honour now or never! But follow me, and Edward shall be ours. ·cdc025· _First Watch._ Who goes there? _Second Watch._ Stay, or thou diest! [cdc027] [_Warwick and the rest cry all_, ‘Warwick! Warwick!’ _and set upon the Guard, who fly, crying_, ‘Arm! arm!’ _Warwick and the rest following them._ _The drum playing and trumpet sounding, re-enter_ WARWICK, SOMERSET, _and the rest, bringing the_ KING _out in his gown, sitting in a chair._ RICHARD _and_ HASTINGS _fly over the stage_. _Som._ What are they that fly there? _War._ Richard and Hastings: let them go; here is [cdc029] The duke. _K. Edw._ The duke! Why, Warwick, when we parted, [cdc030] Thou call’dst me king. _War._ Ay, but the case is alter’d: [cdc031] When you disgraced me in my embassade, [cdc032] Then I degraded you from being king, And come now to create you Duke of York. [cdc034] Alas! how should you govern any kingdom, ·cdc035· That know not how to use ambassadors, Nor how to be contented with one wife, Nor how to use your brothers brotherly, Nor how to study for the people’s welfare, Nor how to shroud yourself from enemies? ·cdc040· _K. Edw._ Yea, brother of Clarence, art thou here too? [cdc041] Nay, then I see that Edward needs must down. [cdc042] Yet, Warwick, in despite of all mischance, Of thee thyself and all thy complices, Edward will always bear himself as king: ·cdc045· Though fortune’s malice overthrow my state, My mind exceeds the compass of her wheel. _War._ Then, for his mind, be Edward England’s king: [_Takes off his crown._ But Henry now shall wear the English crown, And be true king indeed, thou but the shadow. [cdc050] My Lord of Somerset, at my request, See that forthwith Duke Edward be convey’d Unto my brother, Archbishop of York. When I have fought with Pembroke and his fellows, I’ll follow you, and tell what answer [cdc055] Lewis and the Lady Bona send to him. [cdc056] Now, for a while farewell, good Duke of York. [cdc057] [_They lead him out forcibly._ _K. Edw._ What fates impose, that men must needs abide; It boots not to resist both wind and tide. [_Exit, guarded._ [cdc059] _Oxf._ What now remains, my lords, for us to do ·cdc060· But march to London with our soldiers? _War._ Ay, that’s the first thing that we have to do; To free king Henry from imprisonment And see him seated in the regal throne. [_Exeunt._ [cdc064] SCENE IV. _London. The palace_. _Enter_ QUEEN ELIZABETH _and_ RIVERS. _Riv._ Madam, what makes you in this sudden change? [cdd001] _Q. Eliz._ Why, brother Rivers, are you yet to learn [cdd002] What late misfortune is befall’n King Edward? [cdd003] _Riv._ What! loss of some pitch’d battle against Warwick? [cdd004]
