in his death。 Sword; hold thy temper; heart; be wrathful still: Priests pray
for enemies; but princes kill。 Exit
Fight。 Excursions。Enter KING; QUEEN; and others
QUEEN。 Away; my lord! You are slow; for shame; away! KING
HENRY。 Can we outrun the heavens? Good Margaret; stay。 QUEEN。 What
are you made of? You'll nor fight nor fly。 Now is it manhood; wisdom; and
defence; To give the enemy way; and to secure us By what we can; which
can no more but fly。 'Alarum afar off' If you be ta'en; we then should see
the bottom Of all our fortunes; but if we haply scape… As well we may; if
not through your neglect… We shall to London get; where you are lov'd;
And where this breach now in our fortunes made May readily be stopp'd。
Re…enter YOUNG CLIFFORD
YOUNG CLIFFORD。 But that my heart's on future mischief set; I
would speak blasphemy ere bid you fly; But fly you must; uncurable
discomfit Reigns in the hearts of all our present parts。 Away; for your relief!
and we will live To see their day and them our fortune give。 Away; my lord;

SCENE III。 Fields near Saint Albans
Alarum。 Retreat。Enter YORK; RICHARD; WARWICK; and
soldiers; with drum and colours
YORK。 Of Salisbury; who can report of him; That winter lion; who in
rage forgets Aged contusions and all brush of time And; like a gallant in
the brow of youth; Repairs him with occasion? This happy day Is not itself;
nor have we won one foot; If Salisbury be lost。 RICHARD。 My noble
father; Three times to…day I holp him to his horse; Three times bestrid him;
thrice I led him off; Persuaded him from any further act; But still where
danger was; still there I met him; And like rich hangings in a homely
house; So was his will in his old feeble body。 But; noble as he is; look
where he comes。Enter SALISBURY
SALISBURY。 Now; by my sword; well hast thou fought to…day! By
th' mass; so did we all。 I thank you; Richard: God knows how long it is I
have to live; And it hath pleas'd Him that three times to…day You have
defended me from imminent death。 Well; lords; we have not got that which
we have; 'Tis not enough our foes are this time fled; Being opposites of
such repairing nature。 YORK。 I know our safety is to follow them; For; as
I hear; the King is fled to London To call a present court of Parliament。 Let
us pursue him ere the writs go forth。 What says Lord Warwick? Shall we
after them? WARWICK。 After them? Nay; before them; if we can。 Now;
by my faith; lords; 'twas a glorious day: Saint Albans' battle; won by
famous York; Shall be eterniz'd in all age to come。 Sound drum and
trumpets and to London all; And more such days as these to us befall!
Exeunt
