66.\u00a0 \u00a0Brave warriors, Clifford and Northumberland,
\n67.\u00a0 Come, make him stand upon this molehill here,
\n68.\u00a0 That raught at mountains with outstretched arms,
\n69.\u00a0 Yet parted but the shadow with his hand.
\n70.\u00a0 What! was it you that would be England’s king?
\n71.\u00a0 Was’t you that revell’d in our parliament,
\n72.\u00a0 And made a preachment of your high descent?
\n73.\u00a0 Where are your mess of sons to back you now?
\n74.\u00a0 The wanton Edward, and the lusty George?
\n75.\u00a0 And where’s that valiant crook-back prodigy,
\n76.\u00a0 Dicky your boy, that with his grumbling voice
\n77.\u00a0 Was wont to cheer his dad in mutinies?
\n78.\u00a0 Or, with the rest, where is your darling Rutland?
\n79.\u00a0 Look, York: I stain’d this napkin with the blood
\n80.\u00a0 That valiant Clifford, with his rapier’s point,
\n81.\u00a0 Made issue from the bosom of the boy;
\n82.\u00a0 And if thine eyes can water for his death,
\n83.\u00a0 I give thee this to dry thy cheeks withal.
\n84.\u00a0 Alas poor York! but that I hate thee deadly,
\n85.\u00a0 I should lament thy miserable state.
\n86.\u00a0 I prithee, grieve, to make me merry, York.
\n87.\u00a0 What, hath thy fiery heart so parch’d thine entrails
\n88.\u00a0 That not a tear can fall for Rutland’s death?
\n89.\u00a0 Why art thou patient, man? thou shouldst be mad;
\n90.\u00a0 And I, to make thee mad, do mock thee thus.
\n91.\u00a0 Stamp, rave, and fret, that I may sing and dance.
\n92.\u00a0 Thou wouldst be fee’d, I see, to make me sport:
\n93.\u00a0 York cannot speak, unless he wear a crown.
\n94.\u00a0 A crown for York! and, lords, bow low to him:
\n95.\u00a0 Hold you his hands, whilst I do set it on.
\nPutting a paper crown on his head<\/em>
\n96.\u00a0 Ay, marry, sir, now looks he like a king!
\n97.\u00a0 Ay, this is he that took King Henry’s chair,
\n98.\u00a0 And this is he was his adopted heir.
\n99.\u00a0 But how is it that great Plantagenet
\n100. Is crown’d so soon, and broke his solemn oath?
\n101. As I bethink me, you should not be king
\n102.\u00a0 Till our King Henry had shook hands with death.
\n103. And will you pale your head in Henry’s glory,
\n104. And rob his temples of the diadem,
\n105. Now in his life, against your holy oath?
\n106. O, ’tis a fault too too unpardonable!
\n107. Off with the crown, and with the crown his head;
\n108. And, whilst we breathe, take time to do him dead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
