How is it with our sovereign and his peers?
AUDLEY. Tis full a fortnight, since I saw his highness What time he sent me forth to muster men; Which I accordingly have done, and bring them hither In fair array before his majesty. What news, my Lord of Derby, from the Emperor? DERBY. As good as we desire: the Emperor Hath yielded to his highness friendly aid, And makes our king lieutenant general In all his lands and large dominions; Then via for the spatious bounds of France! AUDLEY. What, doth his highness leap to hear these news? DERBY. I have not yet found time to open them; The king is in his closet, malcontent; For what, I know not, but he gave in charge, Till after dinner none should interrupt him: The Countess Salisbury and her father Warwick, Artois and all look underneath the brows. AUDLEY. Undoubtedly, then, some thing is amiss. |
