SCENE V. Lord DERBY’S house.
Enter DERBY and Sir CHRISTOPHER URSWICK.
♦
Der.
Sir Christopher, tell Richmond this from me:
♦
That in the sty of this most bloody boar
My son George Stanley is frank’d up in hold:
If I revolt, off goes young George’s head;
5
The fear of that withholds my present aid.
♦
But, tell me, where is princely Richmond now?
♦
Chris.
At Pembroke, or at Ha’rford-west, in Wales.
♦
Der.
What men of name resort to him?
♦
Chris.
Sir Walter Herbert, a renowned soldier;
10
Sir Gilbert Talbot, Sir William Stanley;
♦
Oxford, redoubted Pembroke, Sir James Blunt,
♦
And Rice ap Thomas, with a valiant crew,
♦
And many moe of noble fame and worth:
♦
And towards London they do bend their course,
15 If by the way they be not fought withal.
♦
Der.
Return unto thy lord; commend me to him:
Tell him the queen hath heartily consented
He shall espouse Elizabeth her daughter.
♦
These letters will resolve him of my mind.
20
Farewell.
[Exeunt.
