| ACT V SCENE III | Another part of the field. | |
| | Flourish. Enter KING EDWARD IV in triumph; withGLOUCESTER, CLARENCE, and the rest | |
| KING EDWARD IV | Thus far our fortune keeps an upward course, | |
| | And we are graced with wreaths of victory. | |
| | But, in the midst of this bright-shining day, | |
| | I spy a black, suspicious, threatening cloud, | 5 |
| | That will encounter with our glorious sun, | |
| | Ere he attain his easeful western bed: | |
| | I mean, my lords, those powers that the queen | |
| | Hath raised in Gallia have arrived our coast | |
| | And, as we hear, march on to fight with us. | 10 |
| CLARENCE | A little gale will soon disperse that cloud | |
| | And blow it to the source from whence it came: | |
| | The very beams will dry those vapours up, | |
| | For every cloud engenders not a storm. | |
| GLOUCESTER | The queen is valued thirty thousand strong, | 15 |
| | And Somerset, with Oxford fled to her: | |
| | If she have time to breathe be well assured | |
| | Her faction will be full as strong as ours. | |
| KING EDWARD IV | We are advertised by our loving friends | |
| | That they do hold their course toward Tewksbury: | 20 |
| | We, having now the best at Barnet field, | |
| | Will thither straight, for willingness rids way; | |
| | And, as we march, our strength will be augmented | |
| | In every county as we go along. | |
| | Strike up the drum; cry 'Courage!' and away. | 25 |
| | Exeunt | |
