Till Warwick or himself be quite suppress'd.

2 WATCHMAN.
To-morrow, then, belike shall be the day,
If Warwick be so near as men report.

3 WATCHMAN.
But say, I pray, what nobleman is that
That with the king here resteth in his tent?

1 WATCHMAN.
'T is the Lord Hastings, the king's chiefest friend.

3 WATCHMAN.
O, is it So? But why commands the king
That his chief followers lodge in towns about him,
While he himself keeps in the cold field?

2 WATCHMAN.
'T is the more honour, because more dangerous.

3 WATCHMAN.
Ay, but give me worship and quietness;
I like it better than dangerous honour.
If Warwick knew in what estate he stands,
'T is to be doubted he would waken him.

1 WATCHMAN.
Unless our halberds did shut up his passage.
