| ACT IV 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; |
| The fear of that withholds my present aid. | 5 |
| 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; | 10 |
| 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. | 15 |
| 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. |
| [Exeunt] |
