Chapter 35 second act

First Herefordshire.Plain near Mortimer's Cross Blow the trumpet.Enter Edward and Richard leading their soldiers. EDWARD I fear for our father's safety, I wonder if he's safe, from Clifford's and Northumberland's pursuers.If he is unfortunately captured, we should have information; if he is unfortunate enough to die in battle, we should also have information.If he is out of danger, we should all the more deserve the good news.My good brother, how are you?Why do you look sad? Richard I can't be happy till I know where my father is.I saw him darting from side to side, I saw him challenge Clifford alone.He was majestic among thousands of troops, like a lion among cattle, or like a bear surrounded by dogs. After he bit a few dogs, the rest of the dogs did not dare to approach him. Barking all around.Thus our father conquered his enemies, and thus the enemies fled from his presence.I deeply feel that being the son of my father is a great honor.Look, the morning sun has opened the golden gate and is bidding farewell to the brilliant sun!It really looks like a young man in the prime of life, neatly dressed, walking towards his lover with his head held high!

Edward, am I dazzled? How did I see three suns? Richard is three brilliant suns, each perfectly aligned, undisturbed by clouds, with nothing but a blue sky between them.Look, look!They came close to each other, embraced each other, almost kissed, and they seemed to form an unbreakable alliance.Now they have merged into one, and there is only one lamp, one fire, and one sun left.This spectacle must have been some kind of omen from heaven. Edward was a wonder that had never been seen before.Brother, I think this is God calling us to go to the front line.The three of us are the sons of the brave Plantagenet. Each of us has already made brilliant achievements in battle. In the future, we should combine our brilliance together to illuminate this earth.Regardless of what this omen is, I will henceforth paint three bright suns on my hand shield.

Richard No, it would be better to paint three girls.Allow me to say this: you are more interested in women than men. On a mission. Richard, what are you doing here?You look gloomy. There must be some terrible news to report. Alas, I saw with my own eyes the murder of your father, my lord, the noble Duke of York! Edward Oh, needless to say, this sentence is enough. Richard told me how he died, and I want to know the whole story. He was surrounded by many enemy troops, and he stood up against them, surpassing the heroes of ancient Troy against the Greek army trying to enter the city of Troy.But even Heracles himself could not win against the odds.Even if you use a small ax to chop a hard oak tree, even though the ax is small, if you keep chopping, it will eventually cut down the tree.Your father was defeated by many enemies, but he died at the hands of cruel Clifford and the queen.She teases our duke, crowns him, and laughs at his face.Later, the Duke wept, but the cruel queen took out a handkerchief stained with the blood of the young Rutland—Rutland was killed by Clifford—and wiped the tears for the Duke.And when they had done all they could to the Duke, they took his head and hung it over York City, where it still hangs, and it was the worst sight I ever saw in my life.

Edward, dear Duke of York, you are our support, and now you are gone, on whom shall we depend!Oh, Clifford, violent Clifford!You killed the flowers of chivalry all over Europe.You beat him only by intrigue. If you fight him one on one, you will be defeated by him.Now the palace of my soul has become its prison, I wish I could get my soul out of the cage and leave my body quietly buried in the earth!From now on I shall never be happy again, oh, never, never shall I be happy! RICHARD I cannot weep; my rage burns like a coal, and my fluids are not enough to quench it.My tongue can't give vent to the restlessness in my heart, because when I speak, my breath will fan the fire in my chest, burn my body, and I will have to extinguish it with tears.Crying is only used to ease the grief in the heart.Let the baby cry, but I want to fight back, to take revenge!Father Richard, since I have inherited your name, I will avenge you, and if the vengeance fails, I will sacrifice my life to gain a posthumous name.

Edward's father has bequeathed his name to you, so of course his dukedom and throne are bequeathed to me. Richard didn't say so.If you are really the eagle's chick, keep your eyes open to the sun, and prove that you are worthy of his heir. ②If you are so, of course the Duke's title and the King's throne are all yours, otherwise, you are not his son. Blow the trumpet.Warwick and Montague lead their troops to enter. How is Warek, young generals!What's the situation?What's the news? Richard, great Lord Warwick, if I were to tell the sad news in detail, every word I uttered would be like a steel knife piercing my flesh, and the pain would be more painful than the flesh. The injury was even worse.Alas, my valiant lord, the Duke of York is dead!

Edward, Warwick, Warwick!My father Plantagenet, who hath made you the savior of his soul, has been slain by the violent Lord Clifford. Warwick I had received the information ten days ago, and I cried a lot for it.Now I want to tell you the situation after your father was killed in battle, and it will inevitably add to your troubles.After your father breathed his last in a bloody battle at Wakefield, news of your defeat and his death came to me as quickly as possible.I was serving as the King's Guard in London at the time.I also got information that the queen sent troops to come, determined to overthrow the last parliament's bill on King Henry's abdication of succession, so I immediately gathered troops, summoned allies, held the king hostage, and rushed to St. Alban to intercept the queen's army.I think the deployment at that time was very appropriate.Now to cut a long story short, at St. Alban's the two armies met and fought very violently.We do not know whether our morale was disturbed by the calm demeanor of the king, who was always benign to his belligerent queen, or by the rumors of the queen's military successes, or by Clifford's respect for the warlike queen. His captives slaughtered and caused great horror, I can't say; the fact is that the enemy's weapons struck like lightning, while our soldiers' weapons were like owls lazing in the night. Flying, it was like a lazy thresher's sledgehammer shaking slowly, only beating lightly, as if he was slapping ashes for a friend.I told the soldiers that we were fighting for justice, and promised them high wages and generous rewards, trying to boost morale, but it was all useless.Soldiers don't want to fight, and we have no hope of winning with them.We had therefore to retreat, the king had gone to the queen, and your brother Lord George, Norfolk and myself, had heard you stationed here on the way, and had come to join you, that we might rally and fight again.

Edward Warwick the good-natured, Duke of Norfolk Where is now?When did George return to England from Burgundy? The Duke of Warwick stationed his troops about six miles from here.As for your brother George, it was your aunt, the Duchess of Burgundy, who sent troops with him to this urgent campaign. In Richard's words, the heroic Warwick was defeated by being outnumbered.I have only heard that he was good at hunting down the enemy, and I have never heard of him being humiliated by defeat until today. Do not think, Richard Warwick, that you hear only of my defeat; soon you shall know that my mighty arm can take the crown from Henry's head, and the scepter from Henry's hand, even if Henry is not a good-natured and peaceful man, begging for mercy, as he is now, but a man of courage and fame, and I can do it too.

RICHARD That is all I know, Lord Warwick.Please don't be offended, I say this out of love for your honor.What should we do in this critical moment?Shall we take off our armor, put on mourning clothes, and recite prophecies, or shall we rise up the determination of revenge and slash the helmet of the enemy?If you agree to take revenge, please agree and let's go immediately. Hey Warwick, I, Warwick, have come here for this purpose, and my brother Montague has the same purpose.Hear, generals, the insolent queen, with Clifford, Northumberland, and the others, has the feeble king in her hands.The king once swore to surrender the throne to your family, and his oath has been enshrined in the resolution of the Parliament, but now the Queen and his gang marched into London, trying to tear up the oath and write off all matters that are not conducive to the Lancaster family.According to my estimate, her force was about 30,000 horses.For our part, brave Lord March, the army you can muster among the faithful Welsh, with Norfolk's and my own, amounts to no more than twenty-five thousand men.But let it be, and we will set off for London at once, and our foaming horses will gallop on, and we will cry "to the enemy" again, and this time we will not retreat.

Richard Yes, that's what the great Warwick said.When Hua Lek ordered to keep fighting, whoever dared to shout "retreat" would not be able to see the sun of the next day. Lord Edward Warwick, I count you on my back.In case you fail—God forbid that! ――I, Edward, will also collapse.May God not let this happen! Warwick You don't need to be called Earl of March now, you should inherit the title of Duke of York, and the next step is to inherit the throne of England.Wherever our troops pass, you must be respected as king, and anyone who does not throw up his hat to show his joy will have his head cut off as punishment.Edward my lord, Richard the valiant, Montague, don't stay here dreaming of future majesty, let us blow the horn and do it now.

Richard I said, Clifford boy, your heart is hard from the way you behave, but if your heart is as hard as steel, I will break it, or I will give you my heart. Edward beat the drum, God and St. George bless us! On a mission. How about Warwick!What's the news? The commissioner, the Duke of Norfolk, sent me to report to you that the Queen is leading a powerful army and is marching here. The Duke asks you to discuss the military situation quickly. Warwick came just in time.Generals, march immediately. (same below.) before the second york city Trumpets play coloratura.Enter King Henry, Queen Margaret, Prince of Wales, Clifford, and Northumberland, leading with trumpets.

Majesty Queen Margaret, welcome to this majestic city of York.The culprit who tried to wear your crown now has his head hanging there.My lord, don't you feel happy when you see that thing? King Henry, I feel like a man who is afraid to see rocks when he is on the rocks.Seeing that head can only make me feel uneasy from the bottom of my heart.Oh God, please don't punish me, it's not my fault, I don't mean to break my oath! Clifford, merciful king, you must not be so magnanimous that you hurt yourself by pity others.On whom does the lion cast his gentle eyes?Never throw it on the beast that robs its lair.Whose hand does the big bear in the forest lick?Never lick the hand of the enemy who kills the cub in the face.Who can escape the teeth of the hidden viper?Not the one who put his foot on the serpent's back.The tiniest insects and ants also know how to avoid stepping on their feet, and the docile pigeons will peck back a few times to protect their young.Ambitious York did covet your crown, and he glared at you when you were kind to him.He is only a duke, but he wants to make his son a king. Like a loving father, he thinks of future generations in every way; and you, as the king of a country, have a handsome prince, and you agree to deprive His inheritance, that's enough to say you're an unloving father.You see, those ignorant animals still know how to raise their offspring; although they feel terrible when they see human faces, if someone digs out their nests, in order to protect their young, they will no longer raise their wings to scare them away, but use They use their wings to fight humans, even at the expense of their lives.Are you not ashamed, my lord, to see their example?Such a wise prince lost his right to inherit the throne due to his father's fault. After many years, he had to say to his descendants: "The world that our great-grandfather and grandfather gained through hard work was gently ruined by my careless father." "What a pity!Oh, what an embarrassment!Take a look at this boy, see his handsome face, his face is full of blessings, you should strengthen your will, keep your throne, and pass it on to him. King Henry Clifford speaks eloquently, and speaks good things, but tell me, Clifford, that you have never heard it said that what is wronged does not come to a good end?If the father is blindly greedy for money and does many unrighteous acts, can the son enjoy eternal happiness?I just want to accumulate virtue for my descendants, and I wish my father would only leave me with the virtue he accumulated back then!As for the other things, they can only become endless burdens, and cannot give people the slightest happiness.Oh, Cousin York, how do your friends know, how it pains me to see your head hanging here! Queen Margaret, my lord, cheer up!In front of the enemy, your mother-in-law's attitude will only make your subordinates feel disheartened.Thou hast promised to knight our aspirant son, draw your sword, and knight him at once.Edward, kneel down. King Henry Edward Plantagenet, rise up, you are knighted.Remember this instruction: Always use your sword to uphold justice. Benevolent father of the prince, with your permission, I will draw my sword as the heir to the throne, and I will go through fire and water to regain the throne. Clifford is very well, that is the tone of a wise prince. On a mission. Commanders of the royal family, please get ready.As the backing of the Duke of York, Warwick led 30,000 horses and galloped forward.York was proclaimed king in all the cities they passed through, and many people had surrendered to them.Quickly organize the team, the enemy will arrive soon. Clifford asks the king to leave the field. The queen is more likely to win if the king is not here. Queen Margaret Yes, my lord, go away, and let us try our luck. KING HENRY Well, this has something to do with my fate, and I will stay here. Northumberland You must make up your mind to fight if you stay. Your Majesty and Father, please encourage these generals and these people who are loyal to you.Good father, draw your sword, and cry "St. George!" The marching bugle.Enter Edward, George, Richard, Warwick, Norfolk, Montague with soldiers. Edward Hi, Henry the perjurer!Would you rather put the crown on my head and kneel and beg for mercy, or wait to die in battle? Queen Margaret is such an unreasonable boy, go and lose your temper with your subordinates.How dare you be so presumptuous in front of your king? Edward I am his king, and he should kneel before me.He willingly surrendered my succession to the throne, but he later broke the oath.He wears the crown, but you are the king.I heard that you encouraged him to introduce a new bill in Congress to overthrow me and still pass the throne to his son. Clifford That is reasonable.If the father's throne is not inherited by the son, who should inherit it? Richard the Executioner, are you out again?Oh, I'm so angry that I can't speak! Clifford is right, hunchback boy, I'm here for you.Whether it's yourself or any self-righteous person in your cohort, I can handle it. Richard You killed little Rutland, didn't you? Clifford is right, and old York, too, but I'm not good enough. Richard the hell, generals, send the order to go to war. Warwick Henry, what do you say?Will you hand over the crown? Queen Margaret Ga, tongue-long Warwick!Do you dare to speak?When I last saw you at St. Albans, your legs were more useful to you than your hands. Wallek I was the one who ran away, but this time it's your turn. Clifford, you said the same thing last time, but you are the one who escaped. It was not your strength, Warwick Clifford, that drove me away. Northumberland is all right, but your heroism hasn't kept you going. Richard Northumberland, I have a lot of respect for you.Don't gossip now.I was filled with rage, determined to avenge Clifford who killed the child, and could bear it no longer. Clifford I killed your father, do you call him a boy? Richard Hum, you are a coward, a scheming coward, and you murdered my weak brother.Before the sun goes down, I'll make you regret what you did. Generals King Henry, shut up and listen to me. Queen Margaret If you want to speak, scold them, or please keep your mouth shut. King Henry please don't stop me from speaking, I am the king and I have the privilege of speaking. My lord Clifford, the wounds of this war cannot be healed by words, so hold your tongue. Richard Then, hangman, draw your sword.For God's sake, I daresay, Clifford's only heroism consists in his big talk. Edward Now, Henry, will I have my rights?I have a thousand soldiers who have just had breakfast, and they won't eat lunch until you hand over your crown. Warwick If you refuse, you will be responsible for the bloodshed, and it is just for York to mobilize. Prince, if what Warwick says is just is really just, then there will be no injustice in the world, and everything will be just. RICHARD Whoever your father is, it's your mother standing there.I know that your mouth is as bad as your mother's. Queen Margaret But you are neither father nor mother, but a monstrous hideous creature, born to be repulsive, like a toad, or a four-legged snake, that stings everywhere. Richard, you are a piece of iron in Naples gilded in England.Although your father has the title of king in vain, he is really just a small ditch pretending to be the sea.You think about your own parentage, you let your obscene thoughts slip out on your tongue, aren't you afraid of being ashamed? Edward If this shameless woman could know what she is, then the grass crown on the vixen's head would be worth a thousand pounds.Although you asked your husband to wear a cuckold like Helen in Greece back then, she is much more beautiful than you, and the woman who stole the man did not do her husband as much as you did to Henry.Henry's father ran rampant in the heart of France, took care of the French king, and subdued the French prince; if Henry matched with a well-matched marriage, he would definitely be able to maintain his father's honor to this day.But he married a poor woman, let your poor father get the glory of this marriage, and from the day of marriage, even the sun has brewed a rainstorm for him, and this rainstorm has ruined his father's estate in France. Flushed and brought a lot of turmoil to his throne at home as well.Take this war as an example, if you were not arrogant, why would it erupt immediately?If you were a humble man, I could have put aside the question of the succession for a while, and we could have endured a generation later, we pity the king's incompetence. George But what we see is: the warm sunshine we give you makes you as proud as spring, and you don't produce anything good for us after a summer, then we will no longer be polite, and we will raise Take the ax and cut down the root of your usurpation.Although the edge of our ax has hurt us to some extent, you should know that since we have made a move, we will never stop unless we cut you down; irrigation. Edward I make up my mind, I challenge you; You need not negotiate, since you will not speak of the meek king.Tell them to blow their trumpets, let our blood-red banner fly!If you can't win, you don't hesitate to die. Queen Margaret Wait, Edward! Edward No, bickering woman, we will never wait any longer, today's words will cost ten thousand lives. (Exit each.) Third Yorkshire.Battlefield between Twighton and Saxton Drums and horns.The two armies are at war.Enter Warwick. After Warwick's long hours of fatigue, I was exhausted, like a long-distance runner, and now I must lie down for a while and catch my breath.I fought the enemy with guns and swords. After fighting for a long time, my muscles and muscles were exhausted even though they were strong. Although I was full of fighting spirit, I could not help but rest for a while. Edward fled in a hurry. Edward do it, good heavens!Let's do it, cruel Death!It seems that the world doesn't like me, Edward, and the sun shining on my top is also covered by the haze. How is Warwick, my lord!How's your luck?Is there any hope of getting better? Enter George. George Our luck is defeat, our hope is nothing.Our army has been routed and looks set to collapse.What do you think?Where should we escape? It was useless for Edward to flee, the enemy seemed to have grown wings and followed closely behind.Our army is weak and cannot stop the pursuers. Enter Richard. Richard, Warwick, why do you hold back?The dry earth was sprinkled with the blood of my brother from under the point of Clifford's spear.He uttered a cry in his dying pain, like the sound of a golden horse and an iron horse coming from afar.He cried: "Avenge me, Warwick! Avenge me, my brother!" The noble general fell under the belly of the enemy's horse, and the tufts of the enemy's hooves were stained with his blood. At that time, he died. Warek then let our blood be spilled on this land.I will kill my steed to show my determination not to run away.When the enemy is rampant, how can we stand here, like soft-hearted women, crying after losing a battle?How can we just stand by and watch the actors play?Now I kneel in front of the Emperor of Heaven and swear: If I don’t avenge blood today, I will die in battle and close my eyes. Before that, I will never give up. Edward, Warwick, I kneel with you, and I swear by my soul and yours!Before my knees have lifted from the cold ground, O God of power to dethrone the rulers of the world, I bow my head to Thee and surrender; I beg You, if it is Your will Hand, please open the gate of heaven and allow my guilty soul to pass through!Generals, now we are parting for the time being. Whether in heaven or on earth, we will meet again later. Brother Richard, let me shake your hand; gentle Warwick, let me embrace you with weary arms.I, who never shed tears, can't help but feel sad when I see our flowery spring suddenly cut off by severe winter. Warwick let's go, let's go!Once again, dear generals, I bid you farewell. George But before we part, we should first go together and explain to our army that those who do not want to stay will be allowed to escape individually, and those who are willing to fight with us to the end will be called the pillars of the country; if we can have On the day of revival, they will be rewarded richly, and honored like the victors in the Olympic Games.Such promises may revive their sinking wills.We still have hope of survival and victory.Don't delay, let's go right away. (same below.) Another place in the fourth battle field The two armies are at war.Enter Richard and Clifford. RICHARD Well, Clifford, I've found you out yourself.Look at my two arms, one wants to avenge the Duke of York, the other wants to avenge Rutland, even if you put a copper wall around you, it can't protect you. Clifford Hum, Richard, you and I stand here alone.Look at the two hands I gave birth to, one hand killed your father, and the other hand killed your brother.At that time, I killed two of them, and I was overjoyed. Now I take advantage of my courage to do the same for you.Come, eat me with a sword! (The two fight, Warwick enters, Clifford flees.) Richard don't help me, Warwick, you go find other prey.I will go after this wolf myself and kill it. (same below.) Another place in the fifth battle field Drums and horns.Enter King Henry alone. King Henry's battle was fought as day and night at dawn, when the fading clouds still resist the opening dawn; when the shepherd, blowing on his fingers, could not tell whether it was day or night.This battle is like the sea, sometimes flocking to one side and sometimes to the other; for a while the tide outweighs the wind and the sea surges up, and for a while the wind overwhelms the tide and the sea recedes.Sometimes the tide has the upper hand, sometimes the wind has the upper hand.The two warring parties, sometimes one wins, and sometimes the other takes the lead, face each other, chest to chest, trying to win the battle, but neither can defeat the other.This vicious fight has resulted in a stalemate.I am on this mound, and I will sit down and rest for a while.Whoever God calls to overcome, let him overcome!My royal wife Margaret and General Clifford both forced me to leave the line, saying they would have good luck as long as I was not there.I'd rather die if it's God's will.Apart from suffering, what are the other benefits of living in this world?God!I'd rather be a farmer than live a happy life.Just like I am now, sitting on the hillside, carving a delicate sundial, watching the time go by every minute.The accumulation of minutes and seconds is hours, the accumulation of hours is days, the accumulation of days and months, year after year, and one person lives a lifetime.If you know how long a person lives, you should arrange your life well; how much time is spent on animal husbandry, how much time is spent on rest, how much time is used for meditation, and how much time is used for playfulness.You can also calculate how many days the ewe will be pregnant, how many weeks will it take to give birth to lambs, and how many years will it take to shear the wool.In this way, a minute, an hour, a day, a month, and a year passed quietly, until the hair was gray, and then quietly slipped into the grave.Ah, how fascinating such a life is!how sweet!How wonderful!Isn't it more comfortable for a shepherd to sit under the hawthorn tree and watch over his docile flock than for a king who sits under an embroidered canopy and is constantly afraid of his people's rebellion?Oh, really, it was much more comfortable, a thousand times more comfortable.All in all, I would rather be a shepherd, eat homemade cheese, drink light wine from gourds, sleep in the shade of a tree, be free and carefree, than be a king, although he eats There are delicacies from mountains and seas, the drink is jade liquid and fine wine, and the quilt is covered with brocade quilts, but I am frightened and can't rest for a moment. Drums and horns.A son who killed his father, dragged his father's corpse. The wind blowing my son was really annoying.I killed this man in hand-to-hand combat, and he may have some silver on him, which I can take to enjoy, but before dark, I may be killed by others again, and the silver will be put into other people's pockets again.Let me see who this person is?oh my gosh!This is the face of my father, whom I accidentally killed.Oh, in times of trouble, such things can happen!He was forced to come here from London by the king.My father was under the Earl of Warwick, and the Earl forced him to work for York.My father gave me life, but I gave his life away with my own hands.God forgive me, I really don't know what I'm doing!Father, please forgive me, I really did not recognize you!I can only wash away my sins with tears, and now I don't want to say anything, I just want to cry bitterly. KING HENRY Oh, what a sight!Oh, what a cruel time!Lions vie for dens, while innocent tame sheep fall under their claws.Cry, poor man, and I will cry for you too.All shall perish in the flames of civil war, let our eyes be blinded with weeping and our hearts crushed with sorrow. A father who killed his own son dragged his son to his body. Father, you are a guy who is desperately fighting against me, if you have money, give it away quickly, I will beat you a hundred times to make your money belong to me.Oh, let me see, is this the face of the enemy?No, no, no, this is my own only son!Ah, child, if you still have breath, open your eyes!Behold, my heart hurts like a knife, and tears are falling on your wounds, and I see you are covered with bruises, my eyes are going to be blinded, and my heart is going to be broken.Oh, have mercy, my God!What a miserable time this is!How ferocious, cruel, absurd, violent, and contrary to human nature is the evil result of this life-and-death struggle!Alas, child, your father born you too early and killed you too late. King Henry One misfortune after another!What a tragedy this is!Alas, I would rather die to prevent such tragedies from happening.O merciful God, have mercy!This man had two roses on his face, one red and one white, which was the mark of many misfortunes caused by our quarrelsome family.The red roses were like his purple blood, and the white roses were like his pale cheeks.Let one rose wither, let another flourish.If you continue to struggle, tens of thousands of people will die. My son, if my mother knows that I killed my father, she will definitely be furious with me, and there will be no rest! If my father and my wife know that I killed my son, she will cry bitterly, and the days will never stop! The people of King Henry must hate me to the bone when they hear these tragic things, and they will never rest! Son, son, father, is there anyone who is as sad as me? Father father died son, is there anyone who grieves like me? King Henry grieves for the disaster of the people. Is there anyone as deeply as I am?You are grieved enough, but I suffer ten times more than you. Son, I will carry you over there so that I can cry bitterly. (Carrying his father's corpse on his back.) Father, my arms are your quilt, my heart is your tomb, on my heart your small shadow will never fade.My mourning shall be your death knell.You are my only son, and I lose you as much as Priam, king of Troy, lost all his valiant sons.I will carry you on my back, if they want to fight, let them fight. As for me, I did it where I shouldn't, and I don't care about anything now. (Get off the dead body.) King Henry's heartbroken people, you are wretched, but the king who sits here is more wretched than you. Drums and horns.The two armies are at war.Enter Queen Margaret, Prince of Wales, and Exeter. Prince and father, run away, run away!All your friends have escaped.Navarek was as aggressive as an enraged bull.let's go!Death is chasing us. Queen Margaret My lord, mount your horse, retreat to Berek.Edward and Richard, like a pair of hounds chasing a frightened rabbit, with angry flames in their eyes, and bloody steel knives in their hands, are following us closely.Don't delay, go and go. Exeter go!They came for revenge.Don't stay here to discuss, the sooner the better.Otherwise, you will come later, and I will go first. KING HENRY Slow down, good Exeter, take me with you.It's not that I don't dare to stay, I want to follow the queen, wherever she goes, I will go.let's go, let's go! (same below.) The sixth game is the same as before The trumpets sounded in unison, and the drums sounded deafeningly.Enter Clifford wounded. Clifford My candle will be extinguished, indeed, will be extinguished soon; and when it burns, King Henry shall have light.Alas, Lancaster, I fear your ruin more than my own life!With my loyalty and planning, I have gathered many friends to attach to you. Once I die, your strong group will surely disintegrate.The commoners swarmed like summer flies, and they would weaken King Henry and increase the power of the domineering House of York.Originally, if the fly does not fly to the sun, where should it fly?Now who but Henry's enemies can shine?O Sun-god, if you had not let Phaethon ride your steed, your fiery chariots would not have scorched the earth!King Henry, if you were as firm as other kings, as your father and grandfather were, to enforce your power, and make no concessions to the House of York, they would never swarm like summer flies, and I and a thousand Tens of thousands of loyal ministers and righteous men will never die in martyrdom, leaving orphans and widows to mourn for us, and you will surely be able to enjoy honor until now.春风和煦，往往使恶草滋蔓；优柔寡断，往往使盗贼横行。现在喋喋埋怨，已是徒然；我身受重伤，已是无法医治。非但无路可逃，我也没有气力逃跑。敌人是无情的，他决不会对我哀怜，我也没有理由承受他们的怜悯。空气侵入我的伤口，我流血过多，使我头脑昏晕。来吧，约克和理查，华列克和你们这一帮全来吧，我曾用剑刺进你们父亲的胸膛，现在你们也来劈开我的胸脯吧。 （晕倒。） 鼓角声，退军号声。爱德华、乔治、理查、蒙太古、华列克率兵士上。 爱德华将军们，让我们喘一口气，军事的胜利使我们能够休息片时，我们多日来的愁容也可以舒展一下了。那心地平和的亨利名义上虽是国王，却被嗜杀的王后所操纵，好像大商船上的帆樯被狂风所鼓动，不得不迎着巨浪向前行驶。我们已经派了一支人马去追赶他们。将军们，你们以为克列福也和他们一同逃跑了吗？ 华列克不会的，他不能逃了。即便是当着他的面我也可以说，令弟理查已经给他以致命的打击，此刻不论他在哪里，他必死无疑。（克列福发出呻吟声，随即死去。） 爱德华是谁的灵魂在向尘世辞别以前发出这样沉重的叹息？ 理查这是一声垂死的呻吟，这是生死关头的呻吟。 爱德华瞧瞧是谁。现在仗已打完，不论是友人还是敌人，该好好地照顾他了。 理查这道仁慈的命令请您收回吧，因为这不是别人，正是克列福本人。他这人杀了鲁特兰不算，还杀死我们堂堂的父亲，约克公爵；他砍掉了我们的枝叶还不满足，而且心狠手辣，一定要把我们的根株一齐挖掉才肯罢休。 华列克叫人把你们父亲的头颅从约克城门上取下来，把克列福的首级挂上去。先前克列福把你父亲枭首示众，现在就用他的头来补缺，这叫做以怨报怨。 爱德华把这只不吉利的夜猫子带到我们家里去，它专对我们家族报凶信，现在死亡堵住它的戾声戾气，它的不祥的舌头再也不能说什么了。（众仆将克列福尸体抬至台前。） 华列克我看他现在已经不省人事了吧。克列福，你说，你知道谁在对你说话吗？他生命的光线已被死亡的阴霾所掩蔽，不论我们说什么，他都看不见、听不见了。 理查嘿，我倒愿意他看得见、听得见。说不定他真的能呢。他可能是故意装死，他当时在我们父亲断气之前说了许多糟蹋他的话，他现在想避免我们用同样的话来糟蹋他。 乔治既然如此，何妨说几句厉害话薅恼薅恼他。 理查克列福，你来向我们讨饶，碰碰我们的钉子呀。 爱德华克列福，你来白白地向我们低头悔罪吧，看能不能得到宽恕。 华列克克列福，你替你的罪过找出一些卸罪的借口吧。 乔治而我们恰好要为你的罪过想出一些惩罚的酷刑来。 理查你热爱过约克，偏偏遇到我是约克的儿子。 爱德华你可怜过鲁特兰，我也要可怜可怜你。 乔治你们的玛格莱特队长在哪儿，她怎么不来袒护你呀？ 华列克克列福，他们都在挖苦你，你怎不像往常那样破口大骂呀？ 理查怎么啦，一句也不骂？哎呀，克列福对他的朋友连一句骂的话都舍不得说，这世上的日子真是够苦的了。这样看来，他的确是死了。我以我的灵魂发誓，我宁可剁掉我的右手来替他赎回两个钟头的生命，好让我辱骂他一顿，发泄一下我心头之恨。这恶贼嗜血成性，杀害了约克和未成年的鲁特兰还不能解渴，我倒是愿意用我砍掉右手淌出的血来堵他的嘴。 华列克说得对，不过他是死啦；把这奸贼的头斩下来挂在悬挂你父亲首级的地方。现在我们可以耀武扬威地向伦敦进军，在那里扶保主公做英国的王上，举行加冕。我还要从伦敦折回，渡海到法国，去撮合波那郡主做你的王后，借此可把两国结合起来。一旦有了法国作为你的友邦，你就无须担心那瓦解了的敌人死灰复燃了。这些叛贼们固然不足成为大害，但他们随时的骚扰也不可不防。我先去参加你的加冕大典，然后我就前往布列塔尼渡海，说合这门亲事，不知主公意下如何？ 爱德华华列克爱卿，你怎么说就怎么办，我的王位完全靠你扶持。如果你不出主意，或是没有你的同意，我决不轻举妄动。理查，我封你为葛罗斯特公爵；乔治，我封你为克莱伦斯公爵。华列克可以和我本人一样有全权处理一切，爱怎么办就怎么办。 理查让我当克莱伦斯公爵，把葛罗斯特公爵让给乔治去当，因为葛罗斯特这个封号向来是不吉利的。 华列克嘿，别说呆话啦。理查，你就做葛罗斯特公爵好了。现在向伦敦进发，去享受我们的荣华。 (same below.)
