But do not break your oaths; for of that sin
My mild entreaty shall not make you guilty.
Go where you will, the king shall be commanded;
And be you kings, command, and I'll obey.
First Keeper We are true subjects to the king, King Edward.
KING HENRY VI So would you be again to Henry,
If he were seated as King Edward is.
First Keeper We charge you, in God's name, and the king's,
To go with us unto the officers.
KING HENRY VI In God's name, lead; your king's name be obey'd:
And what God will, that let your king perform;
And what he will, I humbly yield unto.
[Exeunt]
3 KING HENRY VI
ACT III
SCENE II London. The palace.
[Enter KING EDWARD IV, GLOUCESTER, CLARENCE, and
LADY GREY]
KING EDWARD IV Brother of Gloucester, at Saint Alban's field
This lady's husband, Sir Richard Grey, was slain,
His lands then seized on by the conqueror:
Her suit is now to repossess those lands;
Which we in justice cannot well deny,
Because in quarrel of the house of York
The worthy gentleman did lose his life.
GLOUCESTER Your highness shall do well to grant her suit;
It were dishonour to deny it her.
KING EDWARD IV It were no less; but yet I'll make a pause.
