To-morrow are let blood at Pomfret-castle; |
And bid my friend, for joy of this good news, |
Give mistress Shore one gentle kiss the more. |
BUCKINGHAM: |
Good Catesby, go, effect this business soundly. |
CATESBY: |
My good lords both, with all the heed I may. |
GLOUCESTER: |
Shall we hear from you, Catesby, ere we sleep? |
CATESBY: |
You shall, my lord. |
GLOUCESTER: |
At Crosby Place, there shall you find us both. |
BUCKINGHAM: |
Now, my lord, what shall we do, if we perceive |
Lord Hastings will not yield to our complots? |
GLOUCESTER: |
Chop off his head, man; somewhat we will do: |
And, look, when I am king, claim thou of me |
The earldom of Hereford, and the moveables |
Whereof the king my brother stood possess'd. |
BUCKINGHAM: |
I'll claim that promise at your grace's hands. |
GLOUCESTER: |
And look to have it yielded with all willingness. |
Come, let us sup betimes, that afterwards |
We may digest our complots in some form. |
Messenger: |
What, ho! my lord! |
HASTINGS: |
Messenger: |
A messenger from the Lord Stanley. |
HASTINGS: |
What is't o'clock? |
Messenger: |
Upon the stroke of four. |
HASTINGS: |
Cannot thy master sleep these tedious nights? |
Messenger: |
So it should seem by that I have to say. |
First, he commends him to your noble lordship. |
HASTINGS: |
And then? |
Messenger: |
And then he sends you word |
He dreamt to-night the boar had razed his helm: |
Besides, he says there are two councils held; |
And that may be determined at the one |
which may make you and him to rue at the other. |
Therefore he sends to know your lordship's pleasure, |
If presently you will take horse with him, |
And with all speed post with him toward the north, |
To shun the danger that his soul divines. |
HASTINGS: |
Go, fellow, go, return unto thy lord; |
Bid him not fear the separated councils |
His honour and myself are at the one, |
And at the other is my servant Catesby |
Where nothing can proceed that toucheth us |
Whereof I shall not have intelligence. |
Tell him his fears are shallow, wanting instance: |
And for his dreams, I wonder he is so fond |
To trust the mockery of unquiet slumbers |
To fly the boar before the boar pursues, |
Were to incense the boar to follow us |
And make pursuit where he did mean no chase. |
Go, bid thy master rise and come to me |
And we will both together to the Tower, |
Where, he shall see, the boar will use us kindly. |
Messenger: |
My gracious lord, I'll tell him what you say. |
CATESBY: |
Many good morrows to my noble lord! |
HASTINGS: |
Good morrow, Catesby; you are early stirring |
What news, what news, in this our tottering state? |
CATESBY: |
