ton: hie thee, get thee gone!
Edward, with fire and sword, follows at thy heels. [_Exit Herald._
My lord[s], perceive you how these rebels swell?--
Soldiers, good hearts! defend your sovereign's right,
For, now, even now, we march to make them stoop.
Away!

[_Exeunt. Alarums, excursions, a great fight, and a
retreat sounded, within._

_Re-enter_ KING EDWARD, _the elder_ SPENSER, _the younger_
SPENSER, BALDOCK, _and_ Noblemen _of the king's side._

_K. Edw._ Why do we sound retreat? upon them, lords!
This day I shall your vengeance with my sword
On those proud rebels that are up in arms,
And do confront and countermand their king.
_Y. Spen._ I doubt it not, my lord; right will prevail.
_E. Spen._ 'Tis not amiss, my liege, for either part
To breathe a while; our men, with sweat and dust
All chok'd well near, begin to faint for heat;
And this retire refresheth horse and man.
_Y. Spen._ Here come the rebels.

_Enter the younger_ MORTIMER, LANCASTER, WARWICK,
PEMBROKE, _and others._

_Y. Mor._ Look, Lancaster, yonder is Edward
Among his flatterers.
_Lan._And there let him be,
Till he pay dearly for their company.
_War._ And shall, or Warwick's sword shall smite in vain.
_K. Edw._ What, rebels, do you shrink and sound retreat?
_Y. Mor._ No, Edward, no; thy flatterers faint and fly.
_Lan._ They'd best betimes forsake thee and their trains,
For they'll betray thee, traitors as they are.
_Y. Spen._ Traitor on thy face, rebellious Lancaster!
_Pem._ Away, base upstart! brav'st thou nobles thus?
_E. Spen._ A noble attempt and honourable deed,
Is it not, trow ye, to assemble aid
And levy arms against your lawful king?
_K. Edw._ For which, ere long, their heads shall satisfy
T' appease the wrath of their offended king.
_Y. Mor._ Then, Edward, thou wilt fight it to the last,
And rather bathe thy sword in subjects' blood
Than banish that pernicious company?
_K. Edw._ Ay, traitors all, rather than thus be brav'd,
Make England's civil towns huge heaps of stones,
And ploughs to go about our palace-gates.
_War._ A desperate and unnatural resolution!--
Alarum to the fight!
Saint George for England, and the barons' right!
_K. Edw._ Saint George for England, and King Edward's right!
[_Alarums. Exeunt the two parties severally._

_Enter_ KING EDWA
