King Henry the Sixth, V. i  K. Edw. Seize on the shamefac'd Henry! bear him hence:

And once again proclaim us King of England.

You are the fount that makes small brooks to flow:

Now stops thy spring, my sea shall suck them dry,

And swell so much the higher by their ebb.

Hence with him to the Tower! let him not speak.

Exit [Attendant] with King Henry.

And, lords, towards Coventry bend we our course,

Where peremptory Warwick now remains:

The sun shines hot, and if we use delay,

Cold biting winter mars our hop'd-for hay.

Rich. Away betimes, before his forces join,

And take the great-grown traitor unawares:

Brave warriors, march amain towards Coventry.

Exeunt.

 

War. Where is the post that came from valiant Oxford?

How far hence is thy lord, mine honest fellow?

1. Mess. By this at Dunsmore, marching hitherward.

War. How far off is our brother Montague?

Where is the post that came from Montague?

 52 shamefac'd: shamefast, bashful

55 Now spring: now that your spring is stopped

60, 61 Cf. n.
