Mount you, my lord; towards Berwick post amain.
Edward and Richard, like a brace of greyhounds, Having the fearful flying hare in sight, With fiery eyes, sparkling for very wrath, And bloody steel grasp'd in their ireful hands, Are at our backs; and therefore hence amain. EXETER. Away! for vengeance comes along with them. Nay, stay not to expostulate; make speed, Or else come after; I'll away before. KING HENRY. Nay, take me with thee, good sweet Exeter; Not that I fear to stay, but love to go Whither the queen intends. Forward! away! [Exeunt.] SCENE VI. Another Part of the Field [A loud alarum. Enter CLIFFORD, wounded.] CLIFFORD. Here burns my candle out; ay, here it dies, Which whiles it lasted gave King Henry light. O Lancaster! I fear thy overthrow More than my body's parting with my soul! |
