1    Sir Christopher, tell Richmond this from me:
2    That in the sty of this most bloody boar
3    My son George Stanley is frank'd up in hold:
4    If I revolt, off goes young George's head;
5    The fear of that withholds my present aid.
6    But, tell me, where is princely Richmond now?

7    At Pembroke, or at Harford-west, in Wales.

8    What men of name resort to him?

9    Sir Walter Herbert, a renowned soldier;
10   Sir Gilbert Talbot, Sir William Stanley;
11   Oxford, redoubted Pembroke, Sir James Blunt,
12   And Rice ap Thomas with a valiant crew;
13   And many more of noble fame and worth:
14   And towards London they do bend their course,
15   If by the way they be not fought withal.

16   Return unto thy lord; commend me to him:
17   Tell him the queen hath heartily consented
18   He shall espouse Elizabeth her daughter.
19   These letters will resolve him of my mind. Farewell.
