K. Hen. Can we outrun the heavens? good Margaret,

stay.

Q. Mar. What are you made of? you'll not fight, nor fly. Now is it manhood, wisdom, and defence, 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
Of all our fortunes; but if we haply 'scape,
(As well we may, if not through your neglect,)
We shall to London get, where you are loved;
And where this breach, now in our fortunes made,
May readily be stopped.

Enter Young CLIFFORD.

Y. Clif. But that my heart's on future mischief set,
I would speak blasphemy ere bid you fly;
But fly you must; uncurable discomfit
Reigns in the hearts of all our present parts.
Away, for your relief! and we will live
To see their day, and them our fortune give.
Away, my lord, away!

[Exeunt.

SCENE III. Fields near Saint Albans.

Alarum: Retreat. Flourish; then enter YORK, RICHARD PLANTAGENET, WARWICK, and Soldiers, with drum and colors.

York. Of Salisbury, who can report of him;
That winter lion, who, in rage, forgets
Aged contusions and all brush of time;
And, like a gallant in the brow of youth,
Repairs him with occasion? This happy day
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,
Three times bestrid him, thrice I led him off,
Persuaded him from any further act;

But still, where danger was, still there I met him;
And like rich hangings in a homely house,
So was his will in his old feeble body.
But, noble as he is, look where he comes.

Enter SALISBURY.

Sal. Now, by my sword, well hast thou fought to-day; By the mass, so did we all.-I thank you, Richard. 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.Well, lords, we have not got that which we have; '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.
Let us pursue him, ere the writs go forth.-
What says lord Warwick? shall we after them?

War. After them! nay, before them, if we can.
Now, by my faith, lords, 'twas a glorious day;
Saint Albans' battle, won by famous York,
Shall be eternized in all age to come.
Sound, drums and trumpets,- and to London all;
And more such days as these to us befall!

[Exeunt.
