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.
 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.

 [Exeunt]




 KING RICHARD III
