Part 17
_Queen._ What are you made of? you’ll nor fight nor fly: [beb074] Now is it manhood, wisdom and defence, ·beb075· To give the enemy way, and to secure us By what we can, which can no more but fly. [_Alarum afar off._ If you be ta’en, we then should see the bottom [beb078] Of all our fortunes: but if we haply scape, As well we may, if not through your neglect, [beb080] We shall to London get, where you are loved And where this breach now in our fortunes made [beb082] May readily be stopp’d. [beb083]
_Re-enter young_ CLIFFORD.
_Y. Clif._ But that my heart’s on future mischief set, [beb084] I would speak blasphemy ere bid you fly: ·beb085· But fly you must; uncurable discomfit [beb086] Reigns in the hearts of all our present parts. [beb087] Away, for your relief! and we will live To see their day and them our fortune give: Away, my lord, away! [_Exeunt._ ·beb090·
## SCENE III. _Fields near St Alban’s_.
_Alarum. Retreat. Enter_ YORK, RICHARD, WARWICK, _and_ Soldiers, _with drum and colours_.
_York._ Of Salisbury, who can report of him, [bec001] That winter lion, who in rage forgets Aged contusions and all brush of time, [bec003] And, like a gallant in the brow of youth, [bec004] Repairs him with occasion? This happy day ·bec005· Is not itself, nor have we won one foot, If Salisbury be lost.
_Rich._ My noble father, Three times to-day I holp him to his horse, [bec008] Three times bestrid him; thrice I led him off, Persuaded him from any further act: ·bec010· But still, where danger was, still there I met him; And like rich hangings in a homely house, [bec012] So was his will in his old feeble body. But, noble as he is, look where he comes. [bec014]
_Enter_ SALISBURY.
_Sal._ Now, by my sword, well hast thou fought to-day; ·bec015· By the mass, so did we all. I thank you, Richard: [bec016] God knows how long it is I have to live; And it hath pleased him that three times to-day You have defended me from imminent death. [bec019] Well, lords, we have not got that which we have: ·bec020· ’Tis not enough our foes are this time fled, Being opposites of such repairing nature.
_York._ I know our safety is to follow them; For, as I hear, the king is fled to London, To call a present court of parliament. ·bec025· Let us pursue him ere the writs go forth. What says Lord Warwick? shall we after them? [bec027]
_War._ After them! nay, before them, if we can. Now, by my faith, lords, ’twas a glorious day: [bec029] Saint Alban’s battle won by famous York ·bec030· Shall be eternized in all age to come. Sound drums and trumpets, and to London all: [bec032] And more such days as these to us befall! [_Exeunt._ [bec033]
