Enter Stanley, [and] Sir Christopher.
¶Stanley Sir Christopher, tell Richmond this from me,
3350That in the sty of this most bloody boar
¶My son, George Stanley, is franked 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.
¶Stanley What men of name resort to him?
3360Christopher Sir Walter Herbert, a renownèd soldier,
¶Sir Gilbert Talbot, Sir William Stanley,
¶Oxford, redoubted Pembroke, Sir James Blunt,
¶Rhys ap Thomas with a valiant crew,
¶With many more of noble fame and worth;
3365And towards London they do bend their course,
¶If by the way they be not fought withal.
¶Stanley Return unto thy lord, commend me to him;
3355Tell him the Queen hath heartily consented
¶He shall espouse Elizabeth, her daughter.
Exeunt.
