Chapter 38 act five

first coventry Warwick, the mayor of Coventry, the second official and others went to the city. Where is Lord Warwick's messenger from Oxford?My honest friend, how far is your lordship from here? Officer A, he has arrived at Dun Simo at this moment, and is continuing to move forward here. Warwick How far is my brother Montague from here?Where is the messenger from Montague? Second Officer He is at Daintree at the head of a mighty army. Enter John Somerville. Wallace Somerville, what did my son-in-law say?In your estimation, how far is Clarence from here? Somerville His troops were at Southham when I left them, and would be there in about two hours. (Drums are heard.)

Warwick Clarence is almost here, I can already hear his drum. Lord Somerville, this is not his drum, Southham is this way, and the drum you hear comes from Warwickshire. Warwick Who is that?Maybe it was the rescuers who came to help on their own initiative. Somerville They're coming, and you'll know who it is. Enter King Edward and Gloucester with soldiers. King Edward's trumpeter, go to the edge of the city and blow the trumpet for negotiations. Gloucester behold, wrathful Warwick's defenses upon the city! Warwick, hey, the evil spirits are at your door!Is the whore Edward coming?Is our scout dead asleep, or has he been bribed?The enemy came to the edge of the city, why didn't they even have any information?

Listen, King Edward, Warwick, will you open the gates, kneel before me respectfully, say something kind, honor me as king, and ask my forgiveness?If you are willing to do this, I will pardon your treason. Warwick is just the opposite. I would like to ask you, are you willing to withdraw the army, publicly admit who helped you to the throne, and who kicked you down, and call me a benefactor and repent of past sins?If you will, I will grant you the continuation of the Duke of York. Gloucester I thought he would say at least he would continue to honor you as king.Did he mean these wisecracks?

General Warwick, isn't it good enough to give him the title of duke? Gloucester is true, in all fairness, what other title can a poor earl give away?Since you gave me such a generous gift, I can't help but pay you back something. Warwick, don't forget your brother's throne was given to him by me. King Edward has no present from Warwick this time, and I am still king. Warwick, you are not Atlas Hercules⑤, you can't bear this heavy world, tell you, boy, Warwick took away his gift again.Henry is my king now, and Warwick his subject. King Edward Pity Warwick's king is in my prison.Proud Warwick, answer my question: if there is no skin, how can the hair be attached?

Oh, Gloucester, Warwick did not expect, he stole a ten from the deck, and someone else took the king!You and poor Henry parted in the Bishop's Palace, and you will probably see him again in the Tower. KING EDWARD That's the way it is, but you Warwick still a Warwick. Gloucester, Warwick, now is the time, kneel down, kneel down, kneel now, and when?Strike the iron while it is hot, otherwise the iron will be cold. Warwick I'd rather chop off that hand with one hand, and fling that hand in your face, than turn the wheel with the wind, and bow my heart to you. King Edward, you are against the wind and the current, what wind and rudder are you going to follow?I'm going to grab your black hair while it's still warm after it's severed, and write these words on the ground with your own blood: "Warric, who turned over and over, will never turn over again. "

Oxford leads the team, leading with drums and flags. Warwick, O banner that flutters in the wind!Look, Oxford is here! Oxford Oxford for Lancaster! (Leading the team into the city.) The gates of Gloucester City opened, and we entered. King Edward, watch out for enemy soldiers to take our rear.We have lined up, not afraid that they will not come out to fight.It doesn't matter if they don't come out, anyway, there are not many troops in this city, we might as well attack and catch the turtle. Warwick, welcome to Oxford!We need your assistance. Montague leads the team, leading with drums and banners.

Montague Montague for Lancaster! (Leading the team into the city.) Gloucester You two brethren dared to rebel, to atone with the blood of your breasts. King Edward met his opponent, and victory is more glorious.I had a premonition of victory in my heart. Enter Somerset at the head of the procession, leading with drums and banners. Somerset for Lancaster! (Leading the team into the city.) Gloucester Two Dukes of Somerset with your name fell at York's hand, and you were the third, and my sword is not forgiving. Clarence led the procession, leading with drums and banners. Warwick, look, the Duke of Clarence is coming like a whirlwind, and he has enough troops to fight his brother.He is so passionate about justice that he would rather sacrifice his brotherhood!Come, Clarence, come!When you hear Warwick's call, you must come.

Old man Clarence Warwick, do you know what that means? (Plucks the red rose from the hat.) Look, I'll throw the filth back at you.My father gave his life to establish the house of York, and I cannot bring myself to destroy it and serve Lancaster instead.Hey, Warwick, do you think I, Clarence, are so hard-hearted, so foolish, so unnatural, to turn against his brother, his rightful king?Maybe you'll blame me for the vows I made.That kind of oath, if I kept it seriously, would be even more deviant than Jephthah, who sacrificed his own daughter.I betrayed my brother before, I am very sad, in order to atone for him, I declare that you are my enemy, no matter where I meet you - if you dare to go out of the city, I will meet you soon - I am firmly against you , to punish you for seducing me.Domineering Warwick, I am against you; I turn to my brother with shame.Please forgive me, Edward, I will take the initiative to atone; Richard, please do not condemn my fault, from now on I will never change my mind.

KING EDWARD I now welcome you more, and love you ten times dearer than I would if you had never erred. Gloucester welcomes you, good Clarence, that's like a brother! Warwick, you traitor number one, you perjurer of false oaths and infidelity! How about King Edward, Warwick, would you rather go out and fight, or wait till we take the city? Warwick, haha, I can't be trapped in this city!I'll go to the Banat at once, Edward, and we'll fight there if you dare. King Edward, Warwick, what dare Edward dare?I lead the way.Gentlemen, go to the battlefield.Saint George bless us with victory! (King Edward disembarks first. Marching bugles sound. Warwick disembarks.)

The second battle near Banat The horns sounded together.The two armies fought.Enter KING EDWARD, and Warwick is led up wounded. King Edward You lie down.Once you die, there is nothing to fear.Warwick is indeed the scourge that gives us the most headaches.Wait, Montague, till I find you, and keep your dead company with Warwick's. (Down.) Warwick Oh, who is by my side?Friends or enemies, I hope you will come to me and tell me who is the victor, York or Warwick?why do i ask?I am covered with bruises, bleeding profusely, my body is weary, my heart is aching—all this shows that my body must return to the earth, and after my death, the victory must belong to the enemy.My majestic pine and cypress, eagles once perched on its branches, lions slept under its shade, its tops once looked down on the dense osmanthus, and under its shade there were clusters of osmanthus. The miscellaneous tree survived the harsh winter, but in the end the old tree fell to the woodcutter's axe.My eyes have been clouded and clouded with the cloud of death, but once they were as bright as the noonday sun, and saw through the machinations of the world.The wrinkle between my eyebrows is now dripping with blood, but in the past, people regarded it as the emperor's tomb, because which emperor's life is not in my grasp?If I frown, who would dare to laugh?Hey, my world-famous fame has been paid to the dust!All my gardens, ponds, towers and pavilions are empty.Except for the Qichikuang cave where I was buried, all my vast countryside is not mine.Alas, what style, power, and prestige count?It's just loess!No matter how well you live, you cannot escape death.

Enter Oxford and Somerset. Somerset, Warwick, Warwick!If you are as strong as we are, we still have hope of turning the tables.The queen has borrowed a mighty army from France, and we are assured.Oh, how good it would be if you could retreat with us! Warwick Well, I wouldn't go if I could.Oh, Montague, if you were here, my good brother, take my hand, and kiss me with your lips, and keep my soul a little while longer!You don't love me, if you love me, good brother, your tears will surely wash away the blood clots on my lips, so that I can say a few more words.Come on, Montague, I'm going to die if you don't come. Somerset O Warwick!Montague has breathed his last breath, and to his dying breath, he still thinks of you, and asks us to "give him his honor to his valiant brother."He wanted to say a lot more, and at the end his voice was as indistinct as a urn in a cellar, but at last I heard him say with a groan, "Oh, farewell, Warwick!" Warwick may his soul rest in peace!Run away, generals, and save yourselves.Warek bids farewell to everyone, and we will see you in heaven. (die.) Oxford go, go, to meet the queen's army! (Exit with Hualek's corpse.) Another place in the third battlefield Trumpets play coloratura, playing victory music.Enter KING EDWARD, with Clarence, Gloucester, and others. King Edward Till now, our fortunes continue to rise, and we have won the crown of victory.But while our fortunes were in full swing, I saw an ominous cloud that was about to overtake the bright sun before it reached the comfortable couch in the west.My lords, I mean the queen's men brought from France.I heard she has landed and is attacking us. All it takes for Clarence is a gust of wind to blow the cloud back to where it started.The sun's rays evaporate the clouds.Not every cloud creates a storm. Gloucester reported that the queen had brought thirty thousand troops, and that Somerset and Oxford joined her.If she is allowed to breathe, she can easily increase her strength to equal ours. KING EDWARD According to our faithful friend, the queen's army is marching towards Tewkesbury.The elite of our side are now concentrated in Banat. We'd better drive to Tewkesbury to meet her. It's a long journey, but if you have determination, you won't feel the distance.On the way to march, our army can be replenished every time we pass through a state.Beat the drums and tell the sergeants to shout "Brave!" and set off quickly. (Trumpets play coloratura. Same below.) Scene 4 Plains near Tewkesbury marching trumpets.Enter Queen Margaret, Prince Edward, Somerset, and Oxford with troops. Queen Margaret, my lords, wise men do not sit and cry over failure, but optimistically seek ways to save it.What does it matter if the masts of our ships are blown into the sea, the hawsers are snapped, the anchors are lost, and half the sailors are swallowed up by the sea?Our helmsman is safe and sound.If you work hard and show courage, you will be able to turn the crisis into safety. At this time, if you leave the rudder and sprinkle tears into the sea like a timid child, it will only increase the momentum of the water. When he is crying , The ship was smashed into powder on the reef, isn't this just asking for trouble?Oh, what a disgrace!Oh, what a miscalculation!Let's say Warwick is our anchor, so what?Montague is our mast, so what?What does it matter that our fallen friends are all ropes and canopies?Well, isn't Oxford the new anchor?Isn't Somerset the new mast?Aren't the new cable boat canopy my friends from France?My son Ned and I, although our skills are inseparable, why not take on the task of helmsman for a while?We will never leave the rudder tower, weeping and weeping, we must stick to the course under the storm, bypass the reef, and advance safely.When the storm comes, cursing and cursing it is of no use as flattering and praising it.What is Edward?He is but a raging sea.What is Clarence?He's nothing but quicksand.What is Richard?He is but a jagged rock.These are the enemies of our unfortunate ship.Don't rely on your ability to swim, oh, how can you float in the sea for a long time!Don't think that you can step on quicksand, you will sink as soon as you step on it.Don't think you can step on the reef, the tide will wash you away, otherwise you will starve to death on the reef.None of these three kinds of death can escape.My lords, I say these words to make you understand that, should anyone ever think of running away, he has no more hope of gaining the forgiveness of the three brothers than he can escape the calamity of waves, quicksands, and rocks.Only courage is the way!For things that cannot be avoided, if you are only afraid and anxious, you can only be regarded as childish and weak. A woman like the prince can have such a heroic spirit. I think even a coward will become strong after hearing her words, and even dare to fight with bare hands against people in armor and armor.I say this not to doubt anyone.If someone is really afraid, I would rather let him leave us early, so as not to affect others.If there are such people here—God forbid! ——Let him do what he wants. Women and children in Oxford have such guts. Could it be that the dignified fighters are full of worries?That's a shame that it can't be cleaned!Wise young prince!Your grandfather's heroic demeanor is reflected in you again.I wish you to carry forward the martyrs and revive the family voice! Somerset We have so bright a future, and if there be any man who will not fight, let him sleep at home like an owl by day, and let him be laughed at when he appears. Queen Margaret Thank you, General Somerset, and thank you, General Oxford. Prince I have nothing else to repay you, please accept my heartfelt thanks. On a mission. Officers, please get ready, Edward is coming soon, he is about to attack, please make up your mind. Sure enough, Oxford did what I expected. His strategy was to march quickly and attack it unprepared. Somerset, he's been fooled, because we're ready to stop. Queen Margaret I am very glad to see the generals go forward so bravely. Oxford is fighting here and we won't give an inch. Blow into the bugle.King Edward, Clarence, and Gloucester led their troops in the distance. Gentlemen King Edward, before us stands the thorny tree, which by the help of Heaven and the strength of all of you, will be cut down by the roots to-night.I don't need to stir up your anger anymore, I know you are already furious and want to burn them up.Now order the attack, generals, rush over! Queen Margaret Generals and warriors, what I want to say, my tears hold me back.With every word I utter, my tears choke my throat.Therefore, I will just say a few words.Your King Henry was imprisoned by thieves, his throne was usurped, his country was turned into a slaughterhouse by his enemies, his subjects were slaughtered, his decrees were annulled, and his treasury was plundered.Standing opposite is the wild wolf who caused all these disasters.You are fighting for justice.In the name of God, generals, order the attack and kill the enemy bravely. (A melee between the two armies. Same below.) Another place in the fifth battlefield Beat the drum and blow the horn.The two armies clashed.Then blow the bugle.Enter King Edward, Clarence, and Gloucester with an army.Queen Margaret, Oxford, Somerset captured, put in charge. King Edward's years of strife were finally over.Sent Oxford to Helms Castle for imprisonment and Somerset beheaded.Take them away immediately and don't allow them to speak. Oxford I don't want to say anything to you at all. Somerset I'm resigned to my fate, I don't want to speak. (Oxford, Somerset are charged.) Queen Margaret We bid farewell to this troubled world, and meet again in happy heaven. Has the notice that King Edward offered a reward for Edward's capture been posted? Gloucester posted it.Look, it's not that little Edward coming! Enter PRINCE EDWARD, all soldiers. King Edward brought the young man here, and heard what he had to say.Hey, can such a tender thorn poke someone?Edward, you rebelled, stirred up my people, made trouble with me, what good did you get? Prince, arrogant York, speak to me like a courtier.I am now speaking on behalf of my father, the king, and ask you to abdicate immediately and surrender the country, and kneel before me.What you asked me to answer just now, traitor, is exactly what I wanted to ask you. Queen Margaret, if your father were as strong as you! Gloucester, if that's the case, you'll have to be a woman and keep your hen from crowing like a rooster. Prince Aesop the hunchback wants to tell fables, and it should be told in the idle winter nights, this is not the place for you to tell silly riddles. Damn Gloucester, you bastard, you call me a hunchback, I call you a plague! Queen Margaret Yes, you are the plague god. Damn Gloucester, take this cursed prisoner away. The prince is wrong, quickly take this cursing hunchback away. King Edward Shut up, wayward boy, if you swear again, I will clamp your tongue. Clarence's unbred child, you are too much. Prince, I understand my duty, you are all misbehaving.Lewd Edward, False George, Ugly Dick, I say to you three, I am higher than you, and you are all traitors.You have usurped my father's and my throne. The little bastard raised by King Edward's stinky mother-in-law, eat me with a sword. (Strikes Edward with sword.) Gloucester Are you on the ground?I will give you another sword, so that you will not suffer. (Stab Edward.) Clarence You call me a false oath, and you too. (Stab Edward.) Queen Margaret kill me too! Gloucester is ready to kill. (He raises his sword to kill.) KING EDWARD Hold on, Richard, hold on, we've gone too far. Why did Gloucester let her live to scold? King Edward Hey, did she faint?wake her up. Gloucester Clarence, plead my case to the king, for I have business to go to London.When you get there, I will let you hear the good news. Clarence what?What? Gloucester Tower, Tower. (Down.) Queen Margaret, O Ned, O dear Ned!Talk to mothers, children!Can't speak yet?O traitors!Murderers!The people who assassinated Caesar back then, compared with these murderers, even if they did not commit any serious crimes, they did not shed any blood. Caesar was an adult, and my Ned was still a child. Kill the child.What worse name could be called for them than murderer?No, no, as soon as I open my mouth, my heart will explode; I just want to open my mouth and let my heart explode.Butcher!Scoundrel!Cannibalism!What a delicate tree you cut down before it grows up!Butchers who have no sons and grandchildren, if you have children yourself, as long as you think of them, you will not be so heartless.But you executioners, if you have a child, let him die like this young prince! King Edward takes her away, go, throw her out. Queen Margaret need not take me away, but send me here.Kill me here, I don't blame you.Uh, you don't kill?All right, Clarence, you do it. Clarence Well, I will not let you die so happily. Queen Margaret Good Clarence, come; my dear Clarence, lay hands. Clarence I swear off, do you hear me? Queen Margaret Why, your vows never count.It used to be a sin to break an oath, but now it is a good deed.Well, won't you?Where is the murderous ghost, and where is ugly Richard?Richard, where are you?Hey, it's gone.Killing is his kind deed, and he never refuses to ask him to kill. Take King Edward, I said.I order you, take her away. Queen Margaret bids you and your grandchildren suffer the same fate as the prince! (Forcibly taken down.) Where is King Edward Richard? Clarence He hastened to London.I guess he's throwing a bloody supper in the tower. King Edward When he thinks of something, he does it right away.We also have to withdraw our troops and leave this place.The recruited soldiers were given severance pay, thanked them, and asked them to return to their hometowns.Let's go to London and see how our gentle queen lives.I reckon it's time for her to have a baby for me. (same below.) Game 6 London.A room in the Tower of London King Henry sat indoors with a book in hand, accompanied by the captain of the guard.Enter Gloucester. Lord Gloucester, hello.Hey, reading is so hard. King Henry TOEFL, my good lord—I should just say lord, flattery is not a good thing, the word "good" is not used properly. "Good Gloucester" and "Good Devil" sound alike.Both terms are absurd.Or don't say "Good Lord". Stand down, Captain of the Gloucester Guard, I have business to speak with him. (The captain exits.) King Henry didn't care about the sheep. The shepherds ran for their lives when they saw a wolf coming.Weak sheep let their wool be sheared first, and then stretch out their necks to be knifed.What spot-on show is our famous actor going to put on? Gloucester is really guilty of a thief, and the thief always thinks there are spies waiting for him on all sides. The bird that King Henry has snared in the bush trembles at the sight of the bush.As an old bird, I once had a baby who fell into a trap and was caught and killed, and now I see that trap placed in front of me again. Gloucester, what kind of bird is not a bird? The stupid bird imprisoned on Crete tried to teach his son how to fly, and even though he had put on wings, didn't he fall into the sea and drown? King Henry I am Daedalus, my poor son is Icarus, your father is Minos who cut off our return, your brother Edward is the sun that melts my son's wings, and you yourself are the sea that devours my son.Hey, kill me with a knife, don't pierce my heart with words!My breast can bear your knife's edge, but my ears can't bear your sad words!What are you here for?Didn't you come to kill me? Gloucester Do you think I'm a hangman? King Henry You are a wicked man, that is for sure.If killing the innocent is execution, then you are the executioner. Gloucester Thy son is too bold, That's why I killed him. King Henry If you were killed the first time you were presumptuous, you would not live to kill my son now.I now prophesy that although millions of people now believe nothing of what I fear, there will soon be countless old men choking for the loss of their sons, countless widows weeping for the loss of their husbands, countless orphans crying for the loss of their parents. Weeping when you die, they will all be heartbroken because of your birth.When you were born, the owl crowed, it was an ominous omen, the night crow wailed, heralding an ominous era, the dog howled, the trees were blown down, the vulture landed on the roof, and the chirping magpie let out a mournful cry. noise.When your mother gave birth to you, she suffered more than ordinary mothers, but the child she gave birth disappointed her mother more than any other child;Your mouth is full of teeth in one fell swoop, which shows that you were born to eat people.I've heard a lot of other stuff, and if it's true, you're here to... Gloucester listened no more.Prophet, tell you that you have not yet spoken, and you will die first. (Strikes King Henry) This is the completion of a task that God has given me. KING HENRY Yes, your murders will be endless.Oh, ask God to forgive my sins, and ask God to forgive you! (die.) Gloucester Oh, high-minded Lancaster, will your blood sink to the ground? I thought your blood would rise to the sky.Behold, my sword weeps for the death of the poor king!In the future, whenever you meet someone who tries to overthrow the York family, let my sword shed purple tears for him!If you still have a breath, I will push you into hell and tell you that I pushed you down. (stabs King Henry again) I am a ruthless, unscrupulous man.Really, what Henry said about me just now is true, and I have also heard my mother say many times that when I was born, I went to the ground on two legs first: that's no wonder, someone took away my rights, how could I not Take a quick step and knock them down?The midwife was taken aback, and the women shouted, "Oh, Jesus bless us, the baby is born with teeth!" I did have teeth, which obviously meant that I was born to look like a dog. Dogs barking and biting like that.Since God has made my body so ugly, please ask Lord Yama to simply turn my mind into evil, so that the inside and the outside are consistent.I am brotherless, I am totally different from my brothers."Love," what the old men call holy, may be in everyone, and everyone is the same, but I don't have much love, I've always been alone.Be careful, Clarence, for as you shade my light, I should make dark days for you.I'm going to spread nursery rhymes to make Edward uneasy, and then, to relieve his worries, I'll have to kill you.King Henry and his son Prince Edward are finished, Clarence, and now it is your turn.I want to get rid of this group of people one by one. One day I don't become the only person, and I think I have been wronged.Henry, let me drag your body into another room, today is your last day, go and be complacent. (Drags off King Henry's body.) The seventh game is the same as before.a room in the palace King Edward sat on the throne, Queen Elizabeth embraced the newborn prince, Clarence, Gloucester, and Hastings stood beside King Edward. KING EDWARD We have regained the royal throne of England, which we won after bloodshed the foe.When the powerful enemies are rampant, we eradicate them like harvesting crops in autumn!The three Dukes of Somerset, all men of stature and stature; the Cliffords, and the Northumberlands, and the two of them, in the excitement of the trumpets, rode to battle. and brothers Warwick and Montague, who surpassed two mighty bears, who once chained the lion king of beasts, and shook the whole forest world with their roar--this group It was all wiped out by me.With no one snoring next to our couch, we can rest easy.Beth, please hold the little one here and let me kiss him.For you, little Ned, your father and your two uncles stayed up all night in cold armor in winter, and walked about in the scorching sun in summer, to win the world and keep you safe.We have worked hard so that you can reap the rewards. Gloucester (aside) Till your head hangs down, your little darling won't sit still.The world has not sufficiently estimated my ambitions.I was born with a hunchback, and I was destined to bear heavy responsibilities, or to carry them, or to break my back.Do what you want, and you will achieve your goal. King Edward Clarence, Gloucester, two good brothers, How affectionate to your virtuous sister-in-law, and to your nephew, little prince. CLARENCE I kiss this sweet little darling, To show my allegiance to your majesty. King Edward, my honorable Clarence, thank you; wise brother, thank you. Gloucester I kiss the fruit, To show how much love I have for the tree that bears it. (Narrator) To be honest, my kiss is like Judas kissing Jesus, saying "blessing" in his mouth, but saying "worry on you" in his heart. King Edward's country is peaceful now, we are brothers and sisters, I am firmly on the throne, and I am content. How does your Majesty's case with Clarence Margaret end?Her father Renier pledged Sicily and Jerusalem to the King of France, and raised a ransom for his daughter. King Edward granted him ransom, and sent her to France.Now that the smoke has cleared away, we just have fun, singing and dancing.Order to beat the drums!It's exactly: the traitors give the head, and we will enjoy peace forever. (same below.) Notes: Here Warwick uses the term falconry, and "bells" refer to the bells tied to the eagle's feet. According to British folklore, after the mountain eagle gives birth, the female eagle leads the young to look at the sun, and feeds the ones that can open their eyes, and pushes them out of the nest if they cannot open their eyes, causing them to fall to death. Proteus, an old man in the sea with endless changes in Greek mythology. In Greek mythology, Rexos, the leader of the Thracians, led a team of white horses to rescue the city of Troy.It is said that if these white horses drank the water of Troy, Troy would be impenetrable.So Odysseus and others raided the camp and stole the white horse. Atlas (Atlas), a giant in Greek mythology, can carry celestial bodies on its shoulders. Jephthah vowed to win the war, and was willing to dedicate to the Lord the first person he met who came out of his home, but the first one who came out was his daughter.In order to keep his oath, he actually killed his daughter as a sacrifice.See "Old Testament": "Judges" chapter eleven.
