Scene

V

Lord Derby’s house.

Enter Derby and Sir Christopher Urswick.

Derby

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;

The fear of that withholds my present aid.

But, tell me, where is princely Richmond now?

Christopher

At Pembroke, or at Ha’rford-west, in Wales.

Derby

What men of name resort to him?

Christopher

Sir Walter Herbert, a renowned soldier;

Sir Gilbert Talbot, Sir William Stanley;

Oxford, redoubted Pembroke, Sir James Blunt,

And Rice ap Thomas, with a valiant crew;

And many more of noble fame and worth:

And towards London they do bend their course,

If by the way they be not fought withal.

Derby

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.

Farewell. Exeunt.
