Clarence. As well as Lewis of France, or the Earl of Warwick,4.1.11

        To whom the heavens in thy nativity4.6.33
        Adjudged an olive branch and laurel crown,4.6.34
        As likely to be blest in peace and war;4.6.35
        And therefore I yield thee my free consent. 4.6.36

Clarence. Father of Warwick, know you what this means?5.1.81

Taking his red rose out of his hat

        Look here, I throw my infamy at thee5.1.82
        I will not ruinate my father's house,5.1.83
        Who gave his blood to lime the stones together,5.1.84
        And set up Lancaster. Why, trow'st thou, Warwick,5.1.85
        That Clarence is so harsh, so blunt, unnatural,5.1.86
        To bend the fatal instruments of war5.1.87
        Against his brother and his lawful king?5.1.88
        Perhaps thou wilt object my holy oath:5.1.89
        To keep that oath were more impiety5.1.90
        Than Jephthah's, when he sacrificed his daughter.5.1.91
        I am so sorry for my trespass made5.1.92
        That, to deserve well at my brother's hands,5.1.93
        I here proclaim myself thy mortal foe,5.1.94
        With resolution, wheresoe'er I meet thee--5.1.95
        As I will meet thee, if thou stir abroad--5.1.96
        To plague thee for thy foul misleading me.5.1.97
        And so, proud-hearted Warwick, I defy thee,5.1.98
        And to my brother turn my blushing cheeks.5.1.99
        Pardon me, Edward, I will make amends:5.1.100
        And, Richard, do not frown upon my faults,5.1.101
        For I will henceforth be no more unconstant. 5.1.102

Clarence. A little gale will soon disperse that cloud5.3.10
        And blow it to the source from whence it came:5.3.11
        The very beams will dry those vapours up,5.3.12
        For every cloud engenders not a storm. 5.3.13
