EXET ER

Thy father was a traitor to the crown.

WARWICK

Exeter, thou art a traitor to the crown [80]
In following this usurping Henry.

CLIFFORD

Whom should he follow but his natural king?

WARWICK

True, Clifford; that’s Richard, Duke of York.

KING HENRY

And shall I stand and thou sit in my throne?

Y ORK

It must and shall be so: content thyself. [85]

WARWICK

Be Duke of Lancaster; let him be king.

WEST MORLAND

He is both king and Duke of Lancaster:
And that the Lord of Westmorland shall maintain.

WARWICK

And Warwick shall disprove it. You forget
That we are those which chased you from the field [90]
And slew your fathers and, with colours spread,
Marched through the city to the palace gates.

NORT HUMBERLAND

Yes, Warwick, I remember it to my grief;
And, by his soul, thou and thy house shall rue it.

WEST MORLAND

Plantagenet, of thee and these thy sons, [95]
Thy kinsmen and thy friends, I’ll have more lives
