Upon his party. He, mistrusting them,
Hois’d sail, and made his course again for Bretagne.

KING RICHARD

March on, march on, since we are up in arms:
If not to fight with foreign enemies,
Yet to beat down these rebels here at home. [530]

Enter Catesby.

CAT ESBY

My liege, the Duke of Buckingham is taken:
That is the best news. That the Earl of Richmond
Is with a mighty power landed at Milford
Is colder tidings, yet they must be told.

KING RICHARD

Away towards Salisbury! While we reason here [535]
A royal battle might be won and lost.
Someone take order Buckingham be brought
To Salisbury; the rest march on with me.

Flourish. Exeunt.

Scene V IT

Enter Stanley Earl of Derby and Sir Christopher [Urswick].

ST ANLEY

Sir Christopher, tell Richmond this from me:
That in the sty of the most deadly boar
My son George Stanley is frank’d up in hold;
If I revolt, off goes young George’s head;
The fear of that holds off my present aid. [5]
So get thee gone: commend me to thy lord;
Withal say that the Queen hath heartily consented
He should espouse Elizabeth her daughter.
But tell me, where is princely Richmond now?

CHRIST OPHER

At Pembroke, or at Ha’rfordwest in Wales. [10]
