Enter DERBY and SIR CHRISTOPHER URSWICK
DERBY
Sir Christopher, tell Richmond this from me:That in the sty of this most bloody boarMy 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 Harford-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 consentedHe shall espouse Elizabeth her daughter.These letters will resolve him of my mind. Farewell.
