But Margaret, that is daughter to a king?
Her peerless feature, joined with her birth,

Approves her fit for none but for a king;
Her valiant courage and undaunted spirit,

More than in women commonly is seen,
Will answer our hope in issue of a king;

For Henry, son unto a conqueror,
Is likely to beget more conquerors,

If with a lady of so high resolve
As is fair Margaret he be link'd in love.

Then yield, my lords; and here conclude with me
That Margaret shall be Queen, and none but she.

KING HENRY. Whether it be through force of your report,
My noble Lord of Suffolk, or for that

My tender youth was never yet attaint
With any passion of inflaming love,

I cannot tell; but this I am assur'd,
I feel such sharp dissension in my breast,

Such fierce alarums both of hope and fear,
As I am sick with working of my thoughts.

Take thereforeshipping; post, my lord, to France;
Agree to any covenants; and procure

That Lady Margaret do vouchsafe to come
To cross the seas to England, and be crown'd

King Henry's faithful and anointed queen.
For your expenses and sufficient charge,

Among the people gather up a tenth.
Be gone, I say; for till you do return

I rest perplexed with a thousand cares.
And you, good uncle, banish all offence:

If you do censure me by what you were,
Not what you are, I know it will excuse

This sudden execution of my will.
And so conduct me where, from company,

I may revolve and ruminate my grief. Exit
GLOUCESTER. Ay, grief, I fear me, both at first and last.

Exeunt GLOUCESTER and EXETER
SUFFOLK. Thus Suffolk hath prevail'd; and thus he goes,

As did the youthful Paris once to Greece,
With hope to find the like event in love

But prosper better than the Troyan did.
Margaret shall now be Queen, and rule the King;

But I will rule both her, the King, and realm. Exit
