Nor now my Scandall Richard, dost thou heare: Can plucke the Diadem from faint Henries head, Were he as famous, and as bold in Warre, 'Tis loue I beare thy glories make me speake: Shall we go throw away our Coates of Steele, Numb'ring our Aue-Maries with our Beads? Tell our Deuotion with reuengefull Armes? And therefore comes my Brother Mountague: With Clifford, and the haught Northumberland, Haue wrought the easie-melting King, like Wax. His Oath enrolled in the Parliament. To frustrate both his Oath, and what beside Their power (I thinke) is thirty thousand strong: With all the Friends that thou braue Earle of March, Will but amount to fiue and twenty thousand, And once againe, bestride our foaming Steeds, But neuer once againe turne backe and flye Rich. I, now me thinks I heare great Warwick speak; That cries Retire, if Warwicke bid him stay Ed. Lord Warwicke, on thy shoulder will I leane, Must Edward fall, which perill heauen.
