<H3>SCENE IV. London. The Temple-garden.</h3>

<p><blockquote>
<i>Enter the Earls of SOMERSET, SUFFOLK, and WARWICK; RICHARD PLANTAGENET, VERNON, and another Lawyer</i>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1>RICHARD</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech1><b>PLANTAGENET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=2>Great lords and gentlemen, what means this silence?</A><br>
<A NAME=3>Dare no man answer in a case of truth?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech2><b>SUFFOLK</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=4>Within the Temple-hall we were too loud;</A><br>
<A NAME=5>The garden here is more convenient.</A><br>
<A NAME=6>RICHARD</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech3><b>PLANTAGENET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=7>Then say at once if I maintain'd the truth;</A><br>
<A NAME=8>Or else was wrangling Somerset in the error?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech4><b>SUFFOLK</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=9>Faith, I have been a truant in the law,</A><br>
<A NAME=10>And never yet could frame my will to it;</A><br>
<A NAME=11>And therefore frame the law unto my will.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech5><b>SOMERSET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=12>Judge you, my Lord of Warwick, then, between us.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech6><b>WARWICK</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=13>Between two hawks, which flies the higher pitch;</A><br>
<A NAME=14>Between two dogs, which hath the deeper mouth;</A><br>
<A NAME=15>Between two blades, which bears the better temper:</A><br>
<A NAME=16>Between two horses, which doth bear him best;</A><br>
<A NAME=17>Between two girls, which hath the merriest eye;</A><br>
<A NAME=18>I have perhaps some shallow spirit of judgement;</A><br>
<A NAME=19>But in these nice sharp quillets of the law,</A><br>
<A NAME=20>Good faith, I am no wiser than a daw.</A><br>
<A NAME=21>RICHARD</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech7><b>PLANTAGENET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=22>Tut, tut, here is a mannerly forbearance:</A><br>
<A NAME=23>The truth appears so naked on my side</A><br>
<A NAME=24>That any purblind eye may find it out.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech8><b>SOMERSET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=25>And on my side it is so well apparell'd,</A><br>
<A NAME=26>So clear, so shining and so evident</A><br>
<A NAME=27>That it will glimmer through a blind man's eye.</A><br>
<A NAME=28>RICHARD</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech9><b>PLANTAGENET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=29>Since you are tongue-tied and so loath to speak,</A><br>
<A NAME=30>In dumb significants proclaim your thoughts:</A><br>
<A NAME=31>Let him that is a true-born gentleman</A><br>
<A NAME=32>And stands upon the honour of his birth,</A><br>
<A NAME=33>If he suppose that I have pleaded truth,</A><br>
<A NAME=34>From off this brier pluck a white rose with me.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech10><b>SOMERSET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=35>Let him that is no coward nor no flatterer,</A><br>
<A NAME=36>But dare maintain the party of the truth,</A><br>
<A NAME=37>Pluck a red rose from off this thorn with me.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech11><b>WARWICK</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=38>I love no colours, and without all colour</A><br>
<A NAME=39>Of base insinuating flattery</A><br>
<A NAME=40>I pluck this white rose with Plantagenet.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech12><b>SUFFOLK</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=41>I pluck this red rose with young Somerset</A><br>
<A NAME=42>And say withal I think he held the right.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech13><b>VERNON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=43>Stay, lords and gentlemen, and pluck no more,</A><br>
<A NAME=44>Till you conclude that he upon whose side</A><br>
<A NAME=45>The fewest roses are cropp'd from the tree</A><br>
<A NAME=46>Shall yield the other in the right opinion.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech14><b>SOMERSET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=47>Good Master Vernon, it is well objected:</A><br>
<A NAME=48>If I have fewest, I subscribe in silence.</A><br>
<A NAME=49>RICHARD</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech15><b>PLANTAGENET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=50>And I.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech16><b>VERNON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=51>Then for the truth and plainness of the case.</A><br>
<A NAME=52>I pluck this pale and maiden blossom here,</A><br>
<A NAME=53>Giving my verdict on the white rose side.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech17><b>SOMERSET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=54>Prick not your finger as you pluck it off,</A><br>
<A NAME=55>Lest bleeding you do paint the white rose red</A><br>
<A NAME=56>And fall on my side so, against your will.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech18><b>VERNON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=57>If I my lord, for my opinion bleed,</A><br>
<A NAME=58>Opinion shall be surgeon to my hurt</A><br>
<A NAME=59>And keep me on the side where still I am.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech19><b>SOMERSET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=60>Well, well, come on: who else?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech20><b>Lawyer</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=61>Unless my study and my books be false,</A><br>
<A NAME=62>The argument you held was wrong in you:</A><br>
<p><i>To SOMERSET</i></p>
<A NAME=63>In sign whereof I pluck a white rose too.</A><br>
<A NAME=64>RICHARD</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech21><b>PLANTAGENET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=65>Now, Somerset, where is your argument?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech22><b>SOMERSET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=66>Here in my scabbard, meditating that</A><br>
<A NAME=67>Shall dye your white rose in a bloody red.</A><br>
<A NAME=68>RICHARD</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech23><b>PLANTAGENET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=69>Meantime your cheeks do counterfeit our roses;</A><br>
<A NAME=70>For pale they look with fear, as witnessing</A><br>
<A NAME=71>The truth on our side.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech24><b>SOMERSET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=72>No, Plantagenet,</A><br>
<A NAME=73>'Tis not for fear but anger that thy cheeks</A><br>
<A NAME=74>Blush for pure shame to counterfeit our roses,</A><br>
<A NAME=75>And yet thy tongue will not confess thy error.</A><br>
<A NAME=76>RICHARD</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech25><b>PLANTAGENET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=77>Hath not thy rose a canker, Somerset?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech26><b>SOMERSET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=78>Hath not thy rose a thorn, Plantagenet?</A><br>
<A NAME=79>RICHARD</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech27><b>PLANTAGENET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=80>Ay, sharp and piercing, to maintain his truth;</A><br>
<A NAME=81>Whiles thy consuming canker eats his falsehood.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech28><b>SOMERSET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=82>Well, I'll find friends to wear my bleeding roses,</A><br>
<A NAME=83>That shall maintain what I have said is true,</A><br>
<A NAME=84>Where false Plantagenet dare not be seen.</A><br>
<A NAME=85>RICHARD</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech29><b>PLANTAGENET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=86>Now, by this maiden blossom in my hand,</A><br>
<A NAME=87>I scorn thee and thy fashion, peevish boy.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech30><b>SUFFOLK</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=88>Turn not thy scorns this way, Plantagenet.</A><br>
<A NAME=89>RICHARD</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech31><b>PLANTAGENET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=90>Proud Pole, I will, and scorn both him and thee.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech32><b>SUFFOLK</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=91>I'll turn my part thereof into thy throat.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech33><b>SOMERSET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=92>Away, away, good William de la Pole!</A><br>
<A NAME=93>We grace the yeoman by conversing with him.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech34><b>WARWICK</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=94>Now, by God's will, thou wrong'st him, Somerset;</A><br>
<A NAME=95>His grandfather was Lionel Duke of Clarence,</A><br>
<A NAME=96>Third son to the third Edward King of England:</A><br>
<A NAME=97>Spring crestless yeomen from so deep a root?</A><br>
<A NAME=98>RICHARD</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech35><b>PLANTAGENET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=99>He bears him on the place's privilege,</A><br>
<A NAME=100>Or durst not, for his craven heart, say thus.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech36><b>SOMERSET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=101>By him that made me, I'll maintain my words</A><br>
<A NAME=102>On any plot of ground in Christendom.</A><br>
<A NAME=103>Was not thy father, Richard Earl of Cambridge,</A><br>
<A NAME=104>For treason executed in our late king's days?</A><br>
<A NAME=105>And, by his treason, stand'st not thou attainted,</A><br>
<A NAME=106>Corrupted, and exempt from ancient gentry?</A><br>
<A NAME=107>His trespass yet lives guilty in thy blood;</A><br>
<A NAME=108>And, till thou be restored, thou art a yeoman.</A><br>
<A NAME=109>RICHARD</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech37><b>PLANTAGENET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=110>My father was attached, not attainted,</A><br>
<A NAME=111>Condemn'd to die for treason, but no traitor;</A><br>
<A NAME=112>And that I'll prove on better men than Somerset,</A><br>
<A NAME=113>Were growing time once ripen'd to my will.</A><br>
<A NAME=114>For your partaker Pole and you yourself,</A><br>
<A NAME=115>I'll note you in my book of memory,</A><br>
<A NAME=116>To scourge you for this apprehension:</A><br>
<A NAME=117>Look to it well and say you are well warn'd.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech38><b>SOMERSET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=118>Ah, thou shalt find us ready for thee still;</A><br>
<A NAME=119>And know us by these colours for thy foes,</A><br>
<A NAME=120>For these my friends in spite of thee shall wear.</A><br>
<A NAME=121>RICHARD</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech39><b>PLANTAGENET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=122>And, by my soul, this pale and angry rose,</A><br>
<A NAME=123>As cognizance of my blood-drinking hate,</A><br>
<A NAME=124>Will I for ever and my faction wear,</A><br>
<A NAME=125>Until it wither with me to my grave</A><br>
<A NAME=126>Or flourish to the height of my degree.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech40><b>SUFFOLK</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=127>Go forward and be choked with thy ambition!</A><br>
<A NAME=128>And so farewell until I meet thee next.</A><br>
<p><i>Exit</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech41><b>SOMERSET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=129>Have with thee, Pole. Farewell, ambitious Richard.</A><br>
<p><i>Exit</i></p>
<A NAME=130>RICHARD</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech42><b>PLANTAGENET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=131>How I am braved and must perforce endure it!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech43><b>WARWICK</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=132>This blot that they object against your house</A><br>
<A NAME=133>Shall be wiped out in the next parliament</A><br>
<A NAME=134>Call'd for the truce of Winchester and Gloucester;</A><br>
<A NAME=135>And if thou be not then created York,</A><br>
<A NAME=136>I will not live to be accounted Warwick.</A><br>
<A NAME=137>Meantime, in signal of my love to thee,</A><br>
<A NAME=138>Against proud Somerset and William Pole,</A><br>
<A NAME=139>Will I upon thy party wear this rose:</A><br>
<A NAME=140>And here I prophesy: this brawl to-day,</A><br>
<A NAME=141>Grown to this faction in the Temple-garden,</A><br>
<A NAME=142>Shall send between the red rose and the white</A><br>
<A NAME=143>A thousand souls to death and deadly night.</A><br>
<A NAME=144>RICHARD</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech44><b>PLANTAGENET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=145>Good Master Vernon, I am bound to you,</A><br>
<A NAME=146>That you on my behalf would pluck a flower.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech45><b>VERNON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=147>In your behalf still will I wear the same.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech46><b>Lawyer</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=148>And so will I.</A><br>
<A NAME=149>RICHARD</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech47><b>PLANTAGENET</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=150>Thanks, gentle sir.</A><br>
<A NAME=151>Come, let us four to dinner: I dare say</A><br>
<A NAME=152>This quarrel will drink blood another day.</A><br>
