| To Owen Glendower: and, dear coz, to you | |
| The remnant northward, lying off from Trent. | |
| And our indentures tripartite are drawn; | |
| Which being sealed interchangeably, | |
| A business that this night may execute, | |
| To-morrow, cousin Percy, you and I | |
| And my good Lord of Worcester will set forth | |
| To meet your father and the Scottish power, | |
| As is appointed us, at Shrewsbury. | |
| My father Glendower is not ready yet, | |
| Not shall we need his help these fourteen days. | |
| Within that space you may have drawn together | |
| Your tenants, friends and neighbouring gentlemen. | |
| GLENDOWER A shorter time shall send me to you, lords: | |
| And in my conduct shall your ladies come; | |
| From whom you now must steal and take no leave, | |
| For there will be a world of water shed | |
| Upon the parting of your wives and you. | |
