SCENE II.
A Plain in Warwickshire.
-- 71 --
Enter Warwick, Oxford, and Forces.
War.
Trust me, my lord note, all hitherto goes well;
The common people by numbers swarm note to us.
Enter Clarence, and Somerset.
But, see, where Somerset and Clarence comes note;—
Speak suddenly, my lords, are we all friends?
Cla.
Fear not that, my lord.
War.
Then, gentle Clarence, welcome unto Warwick;—
And welcome, Somerset:—I hold it cowardice,
To rest mistrustful where a noble heart
Hath pawn'd an open hand in sign of love;
Else might I think, that Clarence, Edward's brother,
Were but a feigned friend to our proceedings:
But welcome, Clarence note; my daughter shall be thine.
[giving him his Hand.
And now what rests, but, in night's coverture,
Thy brother being carelesly encamp'd,
His soldiers lurking in the towns note about,
And but attended by a simple guard,
We may surprize and take him at our pleasure?
Our scouts have found the adventure very easy:
That as Ulysses, and stout Diomede,
By slight and manhood stole to Rhesus' tents,
And brought from thence the Thracian fatal steeds;14Q0853
So we, well cover'd with the night's black mantle,
At unawares may beat down Edward's guard,
And seize himself; I say not—slaughter him,
For I intend but only to surprize him.—
You that will follow me in this attempt,
Applaud the name of Henry, with your leader.
[they all cry, Henry!
Why, then, let's on our way in silent sort:
-- 72 --
For Warwick and his friends, God and saint George!
[Exeunt, marching.
