Tell me if you love Warwick more than me;
If it be so, then both depart to him:
I rather wish you foes than hollow friends.
But if you mind to hold your true obedience,
Give me assurance with some friendly vow [140]
That I may never have you in suspect.

MONT AGUE

So God help Montague, as he proves true.

HAST INGS

And Hastings, as he favours Edward’s cause.

KING EDWARD

Now, brother Richard, will you stand by us?

GLOUCEST ER

Ay, in despite of all that shall withstand you. [145]

KING EDWARD

Why so, then am I sure of victory!
Now therefore let us hence and lose no hour
Till we meet Warwick with his foreign power.

Exeunt.

Scene II IT

Enter Warwick and Oxford in England, with French Soldiers.

WARWICK

Trust me, my lord, all hitherto goes well:
The common men by numbers swarm to us.

Enter Clarence and Somerset.
But see where Somerset and Clarence comes. -
Speak suddenly, my lords, are we all friends?

CLARENCE

Fear not that, my lord. [5]
