Before they do provoke us nearer hand There were no way to that, if all be pleased, Whats your opinion M. Iosseline? Its doubtful yet my Lord, whither the rebels, Purpose that way to seek our detriment, Rather me seemeth they will come by land, And either make assault at London bridge, Or else at Algate, both which entrances, Were good they should be strongly lortified. As for the other, the whole companies Of Mercers, Grocers, Drapers, and the rest, Are drawn together for their best defence, Beside the Tower, a neighbour to that place, As on the one side it will clear the river, So on the other with their ordnance, It may repulse and beat them from the gate, Which may come they? Here my Lord Mayor, we now have mand the walls, and fortified such places as were needs ll, His name is Matthew Shore my Lord. Good even my good Lord Mayor, the streets are chainde, The bridge well manned & every place prepared, Shall we now go together and consult. What else there is to be determinde of? Where so we may not suffer them to rest. But issue forth upon them with fresh force. The bastard offers to come forth my Lord. Passage, sayest thou? that must be over our breasts, If any passage thou art Like to have. Since when, it is successfuely decreed, Traitors with us shall never better speed. My Lord accept his meaning better then his counsel. They think they can outlook our tr r looks, Should Henries name command thee entrance here We should deny allrageance unt Edward, Whose true and f thfull subjects we are vorne, And in whose presence is our suum up bo ne.
Plot summary
Plot — 1 Edward the Fourth
Although he has made diplomatic arrangements to marry a French princess, King Edward impulsively takes an English bride instead, much to his mother's disapproval. The bastard Falconbridge leads a rebellion to reinstate the deposed King Henry VI. The London authorities prepare the city's defences: Falconbridge is unable to penetrate the gates, the city apprentices make a significant contribution to the battle, and the rebels are beaten back to Mile End. When they regroup, the Londoners rout them again, and Matthew Shore defeats a rearguard attempt to take the city while the militia are at Mile End. The King rewards the civic officials with knighthoods, but Shore modestly declines. Falconbridge flees with a price on his head, and he and his associate Spicing plan to betray one another and claim the reward. A miller captures Spicing, but Falconbridge escapes. Spicing is hanged by his former comrade in arms, Chub. While out hunting, members of the court encounter Hobs the tanner. King Edward, pretending to be his own butler, tries to induce Hobs to say something uncomplimentary or treasonous about him, but fails. He accepts the tanner's invitation to supper, where he takes a fancy to Hobs's daughter Nell. Meanwhile, things are going King Edward's way: his brother Gloucester sends word that King Henry VI is dead, and Falconbridge is captured and executed. Back in London, he dines with the Lord Mayor, where he meets Jane Shore. He is attracted to her and grapples with his conscience, but later visits her incognito in her husband's shop. Initially she rejects his advances, but Mistress Blague, who hopes to acquire status and influence through her, advises her to submit to adultery. While her husband confides his suspicio ns to the Lord Mayor, she absconds to court. Shore gives away all his property and goes into exile. En route he encounters Jane, now a sought-after power-broker trying to deal justly with the people who seek her influence with the King; one of them, Jockie, she entertains as a servant. On recognizing her husband she regrets her betrayal, but he refuses to take her back: she now belongs to the King. Meanwhile, Edward pursues his claim to the French throne. Planning an invasion but financially depleted after the civil war and rebellion, he seeks support from his subjects, not by taxation or forced loan but voluntary contributions. Hobs's generosity shames his fellows into giving more. He comes to London to try and procure a pardon for his son, who…
