For your partaker Pole and you yourself, [100] Exit.
I’ll note you in my book of memory Exit.
To scourge you for this apprehension:
Look to it well, and say you are well warned.

SOMERSET

Ah, thou shalt find us ready for thee still;
And know us by these colours for thy foes, [105]
For these my friends in spite of thee shall wear.

PLANT AGENET

And, by my soul, this pale and angry rose,
As cognisance of my blood-drinking hate,
Will I for ever, and my faction, wear
Until it wither with me to my grave, [110]
Or flourish to the height of my degree.

SUFFOLK

Go forward, and be choked with thy ambition!
And so farewell, until I meet thee next.

SOMERSET

Have with thee, Pole. Farewell, ambitious Richard.

PLANT AGENET

How I am braved and must perforce endure it! [115]

WARWICK

This blot that they object against your house
Shall be wiped out in the next parliament,
Called for the truce of Winchester and Gloucester;
And if thou be not then created York,
I will not live to be accounted Warwick. [120]
Meantime, in signal of my love to thee,
Against proud Somerset and William Pole
Will I upon thy party wear this rose.
And here I prophesy: this brawl today,
Grown to this faction in the Temple garden, [125]
