ACT IV. | |
SCENE V. A Room in LORD STANLEY'S house. | |
| [Enter STANLEY and SIR CHRISTOPHER URSWICK.] |
STANLEY. | |
| Sir Christopher, tell Richmond this from me:-- |
| That in the sty of the most deadly boar |
| My son George Stanley is frank'd up in hold: |
| If I revolt, off goes young George's head; |
| The fear of that holds off my present aid. |
| So, get thee gone: commend me to thy lord; |
| Withal say that the queen hath heartily consented |
| He should espouse Elizabeth her daughter. |
| But tell me, where is princely Richmond now? |
CHRISTOPHER. | |
| At Pembroke, or at Ha'rford-west in Wales. |
STANLEY. | |
| 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 other of great name and worth: |
| And towards London do they bend their power, |
| If by the way they be not fought withal. |
STANLEY. | |
| Well, hie thee to thy lord; I kiss his hand; |
| My letter will resolve him of my mind. |
| Farewell. |
| [Gives papers to SIR CHRISTOPHER. Exeunt.] |
