Poor Harry the Sixth, hustled, beaten, and prest,
Had his nosegay of lilies soon torn from his breast;

329

And, though Margaret, to shield him, had clasped him around,
From her arms he was shaken, and hurled to the ground;
While Edward of York flourished over his head
The rose's pale blossoms, and trampled the red;
Though Warwick strove vainly the ill to repair,
And set fallen Henry again on his chair.
 

Henry VI. of Windsor.

Lost the kingdom of France.

Supported by his queen, Margaret.

Overcome by the York party, and made a prisoner in the Tower.

Edward IV., raised to the throne by the aid of the Earl of Warwick; who afterwards quarrelled with Edward, and endeavoured to restore Henry, but without success.
