KING EDWARD.
The harder matched, the greater victory.
My mind presageth happy gain and conquest.
Enter Somerset with drum and colours.
SOMERSET.
Somerset, Somerset, for Lancaster!
[He and his forces enter the city.]
RICHARD.
Two of thy name, both Dukes of Somerset,
Have sold their lives unto the House of York;
And thou shalt be the third if this sword hold.
Enter George (Duke of Clarence) with drum and colours.
WARWICK.
And lo, where George of Clarence sweeps along,
Of force enough to bid his brother battle;
With whom an upright zeal to right prevails
More than the nature of a brother’s love.
[Richard and George whisper.]
Come, Clarence, come; thou wilt if Warwick call.
GEORGE.
Father of Warwick, know you what this means?
