ACT IV SCENE III The rebel camp near Shrewsbury.
HOTSPUR We’ll fight with him to-night.
EARL OF WORCESTER It may not be.
EARL OF DOUGLAS You give him then the advantage.
HOTSPUR His is certain, ours is doubtful.
EARL OF WORCESTER Good cousin, be advised; stir not tonight.
VERNON Do not, my lord.
You speak it out of fear and cold heart.
EARL OF DOUGLAS Yea, or to-night.
The better part of ours are full of rest.
if you vouchsafe me hearing and respect.
You were of our determination!
But stand against us like an enemy.
You stand against anointed majesty.
Herein misled by your suggestion.
Knows at what time to promise, when to pay.
Swore him assistance and perform’d it too.
Even at the heels in golden multitudes.
When he was personal in the Irish war.
HOTSPUR Then to the point.
Too indirect for long continuance.
SIR WALTER BLUNT Shall I return this answer to the king?
HOTSPUR Not so, Sir Walter: we’ll withdraw awhile.
Bring him our purposes: and so farewell.
SIR WALTER BLUNT I would you would accept of grace and love.
SIR WALTER BLUNT Pray God you do.
