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.

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;

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. 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.
