Full speech
Judge you, my Lord of Warwick, then be tween us. And on my side it is so well appareled, So clear, so shining, and so evident, That it will glimmer through a blind-mans eye. Let him that is no Coward, nor no Flatterer, But dare maintain the party of the truth, Pluck a read Rose from off this Thorn with me. Good Master Vernon, it is well objected: If I have fewest, I subscribe in silence. Prick not your finger as you pluck it off, Least bleeding, you do paint the white Rose read, And fallen on my side so against your will. Well, well, come on, who else? Here in my Scabbard, meditating, that Shall die your white Rose in a bloody read. No Plantagenet: It's not for scare, but anger, that thy cheeks Blush for pure shame, to counterfeit our Roses, And yet thy tongue will not confess thy error. Hath not thy Rose a Thorn, Plantagenet ? Well, I'll find friends to wear my bleeding Roses, That shall maintain what I have said is true, Where false Plantagenet dare not be seen. Away, away, good William de la Pool, We grace the Yeoman, by conversing with him. By him that made me, I'll maintain my words On any Plot of Ground in Christendom. Was not thy Father Richard, Earl of Cambridge, For Treason executed in our late Kings days? And by his Treason, standest not thou attainted, Corrupted, and exempt from ancient Gentry? His Trespass yet lives guilty in thy blood, And till thou be restored, thou art a Yeoman. Ah, thou shalt find us ready for thee still: And know us by these Colours for thy Foes, For these my friends in spite of thee shall wear. Have with thee Pool: Farewell ambitious Ri chard. I, see the Bishop be not overborne: Me thinks my Lord should be Religious, And know the Office that belongs to such. Yes, when his holy State is touched so near. Perish base Prince, ignoble Duke of York. And this is mine (sweet Henry ) favour him. Your private grudge my Lord of York, will out, Though never so cunningly you smother it. The quarrel touches none but us alone, Betwixt our selves let us decide it then. It is too late, I cannot send them now: This expedition was by York and Talbot, Too rashly plotted. All our general force, Might with a sally of the very Town Be buckled with: the over-daring Talbot Hath sullied all his gloss of former Honour By this unheedful, desperate, wild adventure: York set him on to fight, and die in shame, That Talbot dead, great York might bear the name. How now Sir William, whither were you sent? York set him on, York should have sent him aid. York lies: He might have sent, & had the Horse: I owe him little Duty, and less Love, And take foul scorn to fawn on him by sending. Come go, I will dispatch the Horsemen strait: Within six hours, they will be at his aid. If he be dead, brave Talbot then adieu.
Plot summary

King Henry Vis dead, and England's French lands are lost. After a military setback, the French accept the offered aid of Joan Pucelle , who claims supernatural powers from the Virgin Mary; but they also release Talbot in an exchange of prisoners. With Joan 's help the French recapture the occupied town of Orleans, but the English take it back in a night attack led by Talbot. The Countess of Auvergne invites Talbot to visit her. intending treachery, but he second-guesses her and brings soldiers with him. In England, feuds brew between Gloucester and Winchester, and between Richard Plantagenet and the Duke of Somerset, whose supporters show their allegiance by picking different coloured roses. Richard , who has been deprived of his titles through the attainder of his father, learns from the imprisoned and dying Mortimer that he has a claim to the throne . King Henry restores him to his inheritance, creating him Duke of York. Joan takes Rouen by a ruse , but Talbot recaptures it the same day; she then persuades England's ally Burgundy to join the French. After King Henry's coronation in Paris, York is left in command of Prance, but personal tension between him and Somerset means that troop reinforcements arrive late; in consequence, Talbot is defeated, surviving only long enough to learn that his son has perished in battle. Joan conjures devils, but they will not help her: she is captured by York and burned at the stake. The French and English agree a peace which will entail King Henry making a diplomatic marriage, but this is pre-empted when Suffolk captures Margaret and (having fallen in love with her but being alr eady married) plans to install her as Queen of England . Henry agrees to marry her, and Suffolk goes to France to mili the arrangements.
