| <H3>SCENE IV. York. The ARCHBISHOP'S palace.</h3> | |
| <p><blockquote> | |
| <i>Enter the ARCHBISHOP OF YORK and SIR MICHAEL</i> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech1><b>ARCHBISHOP OF YORK</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=1>Hie, good Sir Michael; bear this sealed brief</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=2>With winged haste to the lord marshal;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=3>This to my cousin Scroop, and all the rest</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=4>To whom they are directed. If you knew</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=5>How much they do to import, you would make haste.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech2><b>SIR MICHAEL</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=6>My good lord,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=7>I guess their tenor.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech3><b>ARCHBISHOP OF YORK</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=8>Like enough you do.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=9>To-morrow, good Sir Michael, is a day</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=10>Wherein the fortune of ten thousand men</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=11>Must bide the touch; for, sir, at Shrewsbury,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=12>As I am truly given to understand,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=13>The king with mighty and quick-raised power</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=14>Meets with Lord Harry: and, I fear, Sir Michael,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=15>What with the sickness of Northumberland,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=16>Whose power was in the first proportion,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=17>And what with Owen Glendower's absence thence,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=18>Who with them was a rated sinew too</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=19>And comes not in, o'er-ruled by prophecies,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=20>I fear the power of Percy is too weak</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=21>To wage an instant trial with the king.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech4><b>SIR MICHAEL</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=22>Why, my good lord, you need not fear;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=23>There is Douglas and Lord Mortimer.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech5><b>ARCHBISHOP OF YORK</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=24>No, Mortimer is not there.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech6><b>SIR MICHAEL</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=25>But there is Mordake, Vernon, Lord Harry Percy,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=26>And there is my Lord of Worcester and a head</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=27>Of gallant warriors, noble gentlemen.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech7><b>ARCHBISHOP OF YORK</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=28>And so there is: but yet the king hath drawn</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=29>The special head of all the land together:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=30>The Prince of Wales, Lord John of Lancaster,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=31>The noble Westmoreland and warlike Blunt;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=32>And moe corrivals and dear men</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=33>Of estimation and command in arms.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech8><b>SIR MICHAEL</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=34>Doubt not, my lord, they shall be well opposed.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech9><b>ARCHBISHOP OF YORK</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=35>I hope no less, yet needful 'tis to fear;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=36>And, to prevent the worst, Sir Michael, speed:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=37>For if Lord Percy thrive not, ere the king</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=38>Dismiss his power, he means to visit us,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=39>For he hath heard of our confederacy,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=40>And 'tis but wisdom to make strong against him:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=41>Therefore make haste. I must go write again</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=42>To other friends; and so farewell, Sir Michael.</A><br> | |
