So help me God! [Aside] As I intend it not. [140]
KING HENRY
O loving uncle, kind Duke of Gloucester,
How joyful am I made by this contract. -
Away, my masters, trouble us no more,
But join in friendship as your lords have done.
FIRST SERVINGMAN
Content; I’ll to the surgeon’s.
SECOND SERVINGMAN
And so will I. [145]

WARWICK
Accept this scroll, most gracious sovereign,
Which in the right of Richard Plantagenet
We do exhibit to your majesty.
GLOUCEST ER
Well urged, my Lord of Warwick; for, sweet prince, [150]
And if your grace mark every circumstance,
You have great reason to do Richard right,
Especially for those occasions
At Eltham Place I told your majesty.
KING HENRY
And those occasions, uncle, were of force. - [155]
Therefore, my loving lords, our pleasure is
That Richard be restorèd to his blood.
WARWICK
Let Richard be restorèd to his blood:
So shall his father’s wrongs be recompensed.
