I but sir Iohn, me thinks they are exceeding poor and bare, too beggarly. Faith for their poverty I know not where they had that, and for their bareness I am sure they never learned that of me. No i'll be sworn, unless you call three fingers in the ribs bare, but sirrah make haste, Percy is already in the field. What is the king encamped? He is sir Iohn, I fear we shall stay too long. Well, to the latter end of a fray, and the beginning of a feast fits a dull fighter and a keen guest. we'll fight with him to night. It may not be. You give him then advantage. Not a whit. Why say you so, looks he not for supply? So do we. His is certain, ours is doubtful. Good cousin be advisd, stir not to night. Do not my Lord. You do not counsel well, You speak it out of fear, and cold heart. Do me no slander Douglas, by my life, And I dare well maintain it with my life, If well respected honour bid me on, I hold as little counsel with weak fear, As you my Lord, or any Scot that this day lives, Let it be seen to morrow in the battle which of us fears: Yea or to night. Content. To night say I. Come, come, it may not be. I wonder much being men of such great leading as you are, That you foresee not what impediments Drag back our expedition, certain horse Of my cousin Vernons are not yet come up, Your Uncle Worcester's horses came but to day, And now their pride and metal is a sleep, Their courage with hard labour tame and dull, That not a horse is half the half of himself. So are the horses of the enemy In general journey bated and brought low, The better part of ours are full of rest. The number of the King exceedeth our, For God's sake cousin stay till all come in. I come with gracious offers from the king, If you vouchsafe me hearing, and respect. Welcome sir Walter Blunt: and would to God You were of our determination, Some of us love you well, and even those some Envy your great deservings and good name, Because you are not of our quality, But stand against us like an enemy. And God defend but still I should stand so, So long as out of limit and true rule You stand against anointed Majesty. But to my charge. The king hath sent to know The nature of your griefs and whereupon You conjure from the breast of civil peace Such bold hostility: teaching his duteous land Audacious cruelty. If that the king Have any way your good deserts forgot Which he confesseth to be manifold, He bids you name your griefs, and with all speed, You shall have your desires with interest And pardon absolute for yourself, and these Herein misled by your suggestion.
