King Henry VI — Part III
Act I Sc. 1
“Prove it so, Henry, and thou shalt be King.”
“Before I would have granted to that act.”
This use of ‘granted’ is unusual; we might read assented.
“Will cost my crown, and like an empty eagle
Tire on the flesh of me.”
I do not understand ‘cost’ here. Singer reads coast.
Sc. 2
“Thou, Richard, shalt unto the duke of Norfolk,
And tell him privily of our intent.
You, Edward, shall unto my lord of Cobham.”
“Courteous, witty, liberal, full of spirit.”
The folio reads ‘Witty, courteous.’
“The Queen with all the Northern earls and lords
Intend here to besiege you in your castle.”
We might incline to read ‘Intends’; but see Jul. Cæs. iv. 3, and Hen. VIII. i. 3.
