                                   Scene II IT

    Enter Richard, Edward [Earl of March], and [the Marquess of] Montague.

     RICHARD

     Brother, though I be youngest, give me leave.

     EDWARD

     No, I can better play the orator.

     MONT AGUE

     But I have reason strong and forcible.

                                     Enter the Duke of York.

     Y ORK

     Why how now, sons and brother, at a strife?
     What is your quarrel? How began it first? [5]

     EDWARD

     No quarrel, but a slight contention.

     Y ORK

About what?

     RICHARD

     About that which concerns your grace and us:
     The crown of England, father, which is yours.

     Y ORK

     Mine, boy? Not till King Henry be dead. [10]

     RICHARD

     Your right depends not on his life or death.

     EDWARD
