_War._ Sweet king! the bishop hath a kindly gird.   [aca131] For shame, my lord of Winchester, relent! What, shall a child instruct you what to do? _Win._ Well, Duke of Gloucester, I will yield to thee; Love for thy love and hand for hand I give.   ·aca135· _Glou._ [_Aside_] Ay, but, I fear me, with a hollow heart.   [aca136] See here, my friends and loving countrymen; This token serveth for a flag of truce Betwixt ourselves and all our followers: So help me God, as I dissemble not!   ·aca140· _Win._ [_Aside_] So help me God, as I intend it not!   [aca141] _King._ O loving uncle, kind Duke of Gloucester,   [aca142] How joyful am I made by this contract! Away, my masters! trouble us no more; But join in friendship, as your lords have done.   ·aca145· _First Serv._ Content: I’ll to the surgeon’s. _Sec. Serv._ And so will I.   [aca146] _Third Serv._ And I will see what physic the tavern   [aca147] affords. [_Exeunt Serving-men, Mayor, &c._   [aca148] _War._ Accept this scroll, most gracious sovereign,   [aca149] Which in the right of Richard Plantagenet   [aca150] We do exhibit to your majesty. _Glou._ Well urged, my Lord of Warwick: for, sweet prince, An if your grace mark every circumstance,   [aca153] You have great reason to do Richard right; Especially for those occasions   ·aca155· At Eltham Place I told your majesty. _King._ And those occasions, uncle, were of force: Therefore, my loving lords, our pleasure is That Richard be restored to his blood. _War._ Let Richard be restored to his blood;   ·aca160· So shall his father’s wrongs be recompensed. _Win._ As will the rest, so willeth Winchester. _King._ If Richard will be true, not that alone   [aca163] But all the whole inheritance I give That doth belong unto the house of York,   ·aca165· From whence you spring by lineal descent. _Plan._ Thy humble servant vows obedience   [aca167] And humble service till the point of death.   [aca168] _King._ Stoop then and set your knee against my foot; And, in reguerdon of that duty done,   ·aca170· I gird thee with the valiant sword of York:   [aca171] Rise, Richard, like a true Plantagenet, And rise created princely Duke of York. _Plan._ And so thrive Richard as thy foes may fall! And as my duty springs, so perish they   [aca175] That grudge one thought against your majesty! _All._ Welcome, high prince, the mighty Duke of York! _Som._ [_Aside_] Perish, base prince, ignoble Duke of York!   [aca178] _Glou._ Now will it best avail your majesty To cross the seas and to be crown’d in France:   ·aca180· The presence of a king engenders love Amongst his subjects and his loyal friends, As it disanimates his enemies. _King._ When Gloucester says the word, King Henry goes; For friendly counsel cuts off many foes.   ·aca185· _Glou._ Your ships already are in readiness.   [aca186] [_Sennet. Flourish. Exeunt all but Exeter._
