Part 8

_Exe._ Beside, his wealth doth warrant a liberal dower,   [aee046] Where Reignier sooner will receive than give.   [aee047]

_Suf._ A dower, my lords! disgrace not so your king, That he should be so abject, base and poor, To choose for wealth and not for perfect love.   ·aee050· Henry is able to enrich his queen And not to seek a queen to make him rich: So worthless peasants bargain for their wives, As market-men for oxen, sheep, or horse. Marriage is a matter of more worth   [aee055] Than to be dealt in by attorneyship; Not whom we will, but whom his grace affects, Must be companion of his nuptial bed: And therefore, lords, since he affects her most, It most of all these reasons bindeth us,   [aee060] In our opinions she should be preferr’d. For what is wedlock forced but a hell, An age of discord and continual strife? Whereas the contrary bringeth bliss,   [aee064] And is a pattern of celestial peace.   ·aee065· Whom should we match with Henry, being a king, 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,   ·aee070· More than in women commonly is seen,   [aee071] Will answer our hope in issue of a king;   [aee072] For Henry, son unto a conqueror, Is likely to beget more conquerors, If with a lady of so high resolve   ·aee075· 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._ Whether it be through force of your report, My noble Lord of Suffolk, or for that   ·aee080· My tender youth was never yet attaint With any passion of inflaming love, I cannot tell; but this I am assured, I feel such sharp dissension in my breast, Such fierce alarums both of hope and fear,   ·aee085· As I am sick with working of my thoughts. Take, therefore, shipping; 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   [aee090] 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.   ·aee095· 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,   ·aee100· I may revolve and ruminate my grief. [_Exit._

_Glou._ Ay, grief, I fear me, both at first and last.   [aee102] [_Exeunt Gloucester and Exeter._

_Suf._ 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,   ·aee105· But prosper better than the Trojan did.   [aee106] Margaret shall now be queen, and rule the king; But I will rule both her, the king and realm. [_Exit._
