CLIFFORD

In dreadful war mayst thou be overcome
Or live in peace abandoned and despised! [190]

[Exit.]

WARWICK

Turn this way, Henry, and regard them not.

EXET ER

They seek revenge and therefore will not yield.

KING HENRY

Ah, Exeter!

WARWICK

Why should you sigh, my lord?

KING HENRY

Not for myself, Lord Warwick, but my son
Whom I unnaturally shall disinherit. [195]
But be it as it may. - [To York] I here entail
The crown to thee and to thine heirs for ever,
Conditionally, that here thou take an oath
To cease this civil war and, whilst I live,
To honour me as thy king and sovereign, [200]
And neither by treason nor hostility
To seek to put me down and reign thyself.

Y ORK

This oath I willingly take and will perform.

WARWICK

Long live King Henry! Plantagenet, embrace him.
[York comes down and he and the king embrace.]

KING HENRY

And long live thou, and these thy forward sons! [205]

Y ORK

Now York and Lancaster are reconciled.
