17981630Hast. Whats a clocke?

17991631Mess. Vpon the stroke of foure.

18011632Hast. Cannot thy Master sleepe these tedious nights?

18031633Mess. So it should seeme by that I haue to say:

18041634First he commends him to your noble Lordship.

18051635Hast. And then. Mes. And then he sends you word.

18071636He dreamt to night the beare had raste his helme:

18081637Besides, he saies there are two councels held,

18091638And that may be determined at the one,

18101639Which may make you and him to rewe at the other,

18111640Therefore he sends to know your Lordships pleasure:

18121641If presently you will take horse with him,

18131642And with all speede post into the North,

18141643To shun the danger that his soule diuines.

18151644Hast. Go fellow go, returne vnto thy Lord,

18161645Bid him not feare the seperated counsels:

18171646His honour and my selfe are at the one,

18181647And at the other, is my seruant Catesby:

18191648Where nothing can proceede that toucheth vs,

18201649Whereof I shall not haue intelligence.

18211650Tell him his feares are shallow, wanting instance.

18221651And for his dreames, I wonder he is so fond,

18231652To trust the mockery of vnquiet slumbers,

18241653To flie the boare, before the boare pursues vs,

18251654Were to incense the boare to follow vs,

18261655And make pursuite where he did meane no chase:

18271656Go bid thy Master rise and come to me,

18281657And we will both together to the tower,

18291658Where he shall see the boare will vse vs kindely.

18301659Mess. My gratious Lo: Ile tell him what you say. Enter( Cates.

18331660Cat. Many good morrowes to my noble Lo:

18341661Hast. Good morrow Catesby, you are early stirring,

18351662What newes what newes, in this our tottering state?

18361663Cat. It is a reeling world indeede my Lo:

18371664And I beleeue it will neuer stand vpright,

18381665Till Richard weare the garland of the Realme.

18391666Hast. Howe? weare the garland? doest thou meane the (crowne?

18411667Cat. I my good Lord.
