Scene I IT
[Flourish.] Enter [the] King, Gloucester, Winchester, York, Suffolk,
Somerset, Warwick, Talbot, and Governor [of Paris], Exeter [and others].
GLOUCEST ER
Lord Bishop, set the crown upon his head.
WINCHEST ER
God save King Henry, of that name the Sixth!
[Winchester crowns King Henry.]
GLOUCEST ER
Now, Governor of Paris, take your oath:
[Governor kneels.]
That you elect no other king but him;
Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, [5]
And none your foes but such as shall pretend
Malicious practices against his state.
This shall ye do, so help you righteous God!
Enter Fastolf.
FAST OLF
My gracious sovereign, as I rode from Calais
To haste unto your coronation, [10]
A letter was delivered to my hands,
Writ to your grace from th’Duke of Burgundy.
T ALBOT
Shame to the Duke of Burgundy and thee!
I vowed, base knight, when I did meet thee next
To tear the Garter from thy craven’s leg, [15]
[Plucks it off.]
