Scene V IT
Flourish. Enter [King] Edward, Gloucester, Clarence [and Soldiers; with]
Queen [Margaret], Oxford, [and] Somerset [, prisoners].
KING EDWARD
Now here a period of tumultuous broils.
Away with Oxford to Hammes Castle straight;
For Somerset, off with his guilty head.
Go bear them hence; I will not hear them speak.
OXFORD
For my part, I’ll not trouble thee with words. [5]
[Exit guarded.]
SOMERSET
Nor I, but stoop with patience to my fortune.
[Exit guarded.]
MARGARET
So part we sadly in this troublous world
To meet with joy in sweet Jerusalem.
KING EDWARD
Is proclamation made that who finds Edward
Shall have a high reward, and he his life? [10]
GLOUCEST ER
It is, and lo where youthful Edward comes.
Enter [Soldiers with] the Prince [Edward].
KING EDWARD
Bring forth the gallant; let us hear him speak.
[Edward struggles with his captors.]
What, can so young a thorn begin to prick?
Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make
For bearing arms, for stirring up my subjects, [15]
And all the trouble thou hast turned me to?
