He was a King, blessed of the King of Kings. Unto the French, the dreadful Judgement-day So dreadful will not be, as was his sighed. The Battles of the Lord of Hosts he fought: The Churches Prayers made him so prosperous. Gloucester, what ere we Like, thou art Protector, And lookest to command the Prince and Realm. Thy Wife is proud, she holds thee in awe, More then God or Religious Churchmen may. Each hath his Place and Function to attend: I am left out; for me nothing remains: But long I will not be Jack out of Office The King from Eltam I intend to send. And fit at chiefest Stern of public Weal. I do, thou most usurping Proditor, And not Protector of the King or Realm. Nay, stand thou back, I will not budge a foot: This be Damascus, be thou cursed Cain, To slay thy Brother Abel, if thou wilt. Do what thou darest, I beard thee to thy face. Gloucester, thou wilt answer this before the Pope. Here's Gloucester, a Foe to Citizens, One that still motions War, and never Peace, Overcharging your free Purses with large Fines; That seeks to overthrow Religion, Because he is Protector of the Realm; And would have Armour here out of the Tower, To Crown himself King, and suppress the Prince. Gloucester, we'll meet to thy cost, be sure: Thy heartblood I will have for this days work. Abominable Gloucester, guard thy Head, For I intend to have it ere long. Comest thou with deep premeditated Lines? With written Pamphlets, studiously devised? Humfrey of Gloucester, if thou canst accuse, Or ought intendest to lay unto my charge, Do it without invention, suddenly, As I with sudden, and extemporal speech, Purpose to answer what thou canst object. Gloucester, I do defy thee. Lords vouchsafe To give me hearing what I shall reply. If I were covetous, ambitious, or perverse, As he will have me: how am I so poor? Or how haps it, I seek not to advance Or raise my self? but keep my wonted Calling. And for Dissension, who preferreth Peace More then I do? except I be provoked. No, my good Lords, it is not that offends, It is not that, that hath incensed the Duke: It is because no one should sway but he, No one, but he, should be about the King; And that engenders Thunder in his breast, And makes him roar these Accusations forth. But he shall know I am as good. I, Lordly Sir: for what are you, I pray, But one imperious in another's Throne? And am not I a Prelate of the Church? Unreverent Gloucester. Room shall remedy this. He shall submit, or I will never yield. Well, Duke of Gloucester, I will yield to thee Love for thy Love, and Hand for Hand I give. So help me God, as I intend it not. As will the rest, so wills Winchester. What? wherein Talbot overcame, is't so? God save King Henry of that name the sixth. Stay my Lord Legate, you shall first receive The sum of money which I promised Should be delivered to his Holiness, For clothing me in these graven Ornaments. Now Winchester will not submit, I trow, Or be inferior to the proudest Peer; Humfrey of Gloucester, thou shalt well perceive, That neither in birth, or for authority, The Bishop will be overborne by thee: I'll either make thee stoop, and bend thy knee, Or sack this Country with a mutiny. Charles, and the rest, it is enacted thus: That in regard King Henry gives consent, Of mere compassion, and of lenity, To ease your Country of distressful War, And suffer you to breath in fruitful peace, You shall become true Liegemen to his Crown. And Charles, upon condition thou wilt swear To pay him tribute, and submit thy self, Thou shalt be placed as Viceroy under him, And still enjoy thy Regal dignity. How now ambitious Vmpheir, what means this? Lord Regent, I do greet your Excellence With Letters of Commission from the King. For know my Lords, the States of Christendom, Moved with remorse of these outrageous broils, Have earnestly implored a general peace, Betwixt our Nation, and the aspiring French; And here at hand, the Dolphin and his Train Approaches, to confer about some matter.
