RICHMOND:
|
All for our vantage. Then, in God's name, march:
|
True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings:
|
Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings.
|
KING RICHARD III:
|
Here pitch our tents, even here in Bosworth field.
|
My Lord of Surrey, why look you so sad?
|
SURREY:
|
My heart is ten times lighter than my looks.
|
KING RICHARD III:
|
My Lord of Norfolk,--
|
NORFOLK:
|
Here, most gracious liege.
|
KING RICHARD III:
|
Norfolk, we must have knocks; ha! must we not?
|
NORFOLK:
|
We must both give and take, my gracious lord.
|
KING RICHARD III:
|
Up with my tent there! here will I lie tonight;
|
But where to-morrow? Well, all's one for that.
|
Who hath descried the number of the foe?
|
NORFOLK:
|
Six or seven thousand is their utmost power.
|
KING RICHARD III:
|
Why, our battalion trebles that account:
|
Besides, the king's name is a tower of strength,
|
Which they upon the adverse party want.
|
Up with my tent there! Valiant gentlemen,
|
Let us survey the vantage of the field
|
Call for some men of sound direction
|
Let's want no discipline, make no delay,
|
For, lords, to-morrow is a busy day.
|
RICHMOND:
|
The weary sun hath made a golden set,
|
And by the bright track of his fiery car,
|
Gives signal, of a goodly day to-morrow.
|
Sir William Brandon, you shall bear my standard.
|
Give me some ink and paper in my tent
|
I'll draw the form and model of our battle,
|
Limit each leader to his several charge,
|
And part in just proportion our small strength.
|
My Lord of Oxford, you, Sir William Brandon,
|
And you, Sir Walter Herbert, stay with me.
|
The Earl of Pembroke keeps his regiment:
|
Good Captain Blunt, bear my good night to him
|
And by the second hour in the morning
|
Desire the earl to see me in my tent:
|
Yet one thing more, good Blunt, before thou go'st,
|
Where is Lord Stanley quarter'd, dost thou know?
|
BLUNT:
|
Unless I have mista'en his colours much,
|
Which well I am assured I have not done,
|
His regiment lies half a mile at least
|
South from the mighty power of the king.
|
RICHMOND:
|
If without peril it be possible,
|
Good Captain Blunt, bear my good-night to him,
|
And give him from me this most needful scroll.
|
BLUNT:
|
Upon my life, my lord, I'll under-take it;
|
And so, God give you quiet rest to-night!
|
RICHMOND:
|
Good night, good Captain Blunt. Come gentlemen,
|
Let us consult upon to-morrow's business
|
In to our tent; the air is raw and cold.
|
KING RICHARD III:
|
What is't o'clock?
|
CATESBY:
|
It's supper-time, my lord;
|
It's nine o'clock.
|
KING RICHARD III:
|
I will not sup to-night.
|
Give me some ink and paper.
|
What, is my beaver easier than it was?
|
And all my armour laid into my tent?
|
CATESBY:
|
If is, my liege; and all things are in readiness.
|
KING RICHARD III:
|
Good Norfolk, hie thee to thy charge;
|
Use careful watch, choose trusty sentinels.
