Sound drums and trumpets, and the king will fly.
YORK. Sons, peace! KING HENRY. Peace thou, and give King Henry leave to speak. WARWICK. Plantagenet shall speak first; hear him, lords, And be you silent and attentive too, For he that interrupts him shall not live. KING HENRY. Think'st thou that I will leave my kingly throne, Wherein my grandsire and my father sat? No! first shall war unpeople this my realm; Ay, and their colours--often borne in France, And now in England, to our heart's great sorrow-- Shall be my winding sheet.--Why faint you, lords? My title's good, and better far than his. WARWICK. Prove it, Henry, and thou shalt be king. KING HENRY. Henry the Fourth by conquest got the crown. YORK. 'T was by rebellion against his king. |
