EDWARD
Once more we sit in England's royal throne,
Repurchased with the blood of enemies.
What valiant foemen, like to autumn's corn,
Have we mowed down in tops of all their pride! (5.7.1-4)
At the end of the war, Edward promises peace. He reminds us of a weird paradox: that peace is only brought about with war. Well, that's what he says, anyway; we're not totally sure if that has to be true. Is this just something Edward is telling himself so that he can sleep at night?
