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;
5     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;
10    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,
15    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.
