. William Shakespere : a biography. k who prophesies what is to come :— This brawl to-dayGrown to this faction, in the Temple garden.Shall send, between the red rose and the white, A thousand souls to death and deadly night. * In the connected plays which form the Three Parts of Henry VI., the Earlof Warwick, with some violation of chronological accuracy, is constantly broughtforward in a prominent situation.

Once embarked in the greatquarrel, Warwick is the presiding genius of the scene :— Now, by my fathers badge, old Nevils crest.The rampant bear chaiud to the ragged Btaff, This day I 11 wear aloft my burgonet, As on a mouutaai-top the cedar showsThat keeps his leaves in spite of any storm. * The sword is fir
