I bring you certain news from Shrewsbury.
NORTHUMBERLAND. Good, an God will! LORD BARDOLPH. As good as heart can wish: The king is almost wounded to the death; And, in the fortune of my lord your son, Prince Harry slain outright; and both the Blunts Kill'd by the hand of Douglas; young Prince John, And Westmoreland and Stafford fled the field: And Harry Monmouth's brawn, the hulk Sir John, Is prisoner to your son: O, such a day, So fought, so follow'd and so fairly won, Came not till now to dignify the times, Since Caesar's fortunes! NORTHUMBERLAND. How is this derived? Saw you the field? came you from Shrewsbury? LORD BARDOLPH. I spake with one, my lord, that came from thence, A gentleman well bred and of good name, That freely render'd me these news for true. NORTHUMBERLAND. Here comes my servant Travers, whom I sent On Tuesday last to listen after news. |
