To help King Edward in his time of storm,
As every loyal subject ought to do.

KING EDWARD.
Thanks, good Montgomery; but we now forget
Our title to the crown, and only claim
Our dukedom till God please to send the rest.

MONTGOMERY.
Then fare you well, for I will hence again;
I came to serve a king, and not a duke.--
Drummer, strike up, and let us march away.

[A march begun.]

KING EDWARD.
Nay, stay, Sir John, awhile, and we'll debate
By what safe means the crown may be recover'd.

MONTGOMERY.
What talk you of debating? in few words,
If you'll not here proclaim yourself our king,
I'll leave you to your fortune and begone
To keep them back that come to succour you.
Why shall we fight if you pretend no title?

GLOSTER.
Why, brother, wherefore stand you on nice points?

KING EDWARD.
