Prologue: Red rose, avenger of the white
Blood and roses
Not a drop of doubtful royal blood
Richmond
He seeks in all places to destroy me
Now must you supply the mother's part also
Change of worlds
No sure way
Council learned
Our second treasure
Null and void
This day came De la Pole
New heaven, new earth
A state of avarice
Extraordinary justice
Courage to be bold
Savage harshness made complete
The art of dying
Rich, ferocious, thirsting for glory.
