And I, with grief and sorrow, to the court.
[Enter QUEEN MARGARET and the PRINCE OF WALES.] EXETER. Here comes the queen, whose looks bewray her anger. I'll steal away. KING HENRY. Exeter, so will I. [Going.] QUEEN MARGARET. Nay, go not from me; I will follow thee. KING HENRY. Be patient, gentle queen, and I will stay. QUEEN MARGARET. Who can be patient in such extremes? Ah, wretched man! would I had died a maid, And never seen thee, never borne thee son, Seeing thou hast prov'd so unnatural a father! Hath he deserv'd to lose his birthright thus? Hadst thou but lov'd him half so well as I, Or felt that pain which I did for him once, Or nourish'd him as I did with my blood, Thou wouldst have left thy dearest heart-blood there Rather than have made that savage duke thine heir And disinherited thine only son. |
