SCENE XIX.
Enter _Montague_ with drum and souldiers. _Mont._ _Montague_, _Montague_, for _Lancaster_. _Exit._ _Edw._ Traitorous _Montague_, thou and thy brother Shall deerelie abie this rebellious act. [eas049] Enter _Clarence_ with drum and souldiers. _War._ And loe where George of Clarence sweepes [eas050] Along, of power enough to bid his brother battell.. _Cla._ Clarence, Clarence, for _Lancaster_. _Edw._ Et tu Brute, wilt thou stab _Cæsar_ too? [eas052] A parlie sirra to _George_ of Clarence. [eas053] Sound a Parlie, and _Richard_ and _Clarence_ whispers togither, and then _Clarence_ takes his red Rose out of his hat, and throwes it at _Warwike_. _War._ Com Clarence come, thou wilt if _Warwike_ call. ·eas055· _Cla._ Father of _Warwike_, know you what this meanes? I throw mine infamie at thee, I will not ruinate my fathers house, Who gaue his bloud to lime the stones togither, And set vp _Lancaster_. Thinkest thou ·eas060· That _Clarence_ is so harsh vnnaturall, To lift his sword against his brothers life, And so proud harted _Warwike_ I defie thee, And to my brothers turne my blushing cheekes? [eas064] Pardon me _Edward_, for _I_ haue done amisse, ·eas065· And _Richard_ doe not frowne vpon me, For henceforth I will proue no more vnconstant. _Edw._ Welcome _Clarence_, and ten times more welcome, Then if thou neuer hadst deserud our hate. [eas069] _Glo._ Welcome good _Clarence_, this is brotherlie. ·eas070· _War._ Oh passing traytor, periurd and vniust. _Edw._ Now _Warwike_, wilt thou leaue [eas072] The towne and fight? or shall we beate the Stones about thine eares? _War._ Why _I_ am not coopt vppe heere for defence, ·eas075· _I_ will awaie to Barnet presently, And bid thee battaile Edward if thou darest. [eas077] _Edw._ Yes _Warwike_ he dares, and leades the waie, Lords to the field, saint _George_ and victorie. _Exeunt Omnes._
