SCENE V. A Room in Lord Stanley’s house
Оглавление[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 renownèd 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.]
