Henry, Earl Mertoun.
Gerard, and other Retainers of Lord Tresham.
Time, 17—
ACT I
Scene I. The interior of a lodge in Lord Tresham's park. Many Retainers crowded at the window, supposed to command a view of the entrance to his mansion. Gerard, the Warrener, his back to a table on which are flagons, etc.
1st Retainer. Ay, do! push, friends, and then you 'll push down me!
—What for? Does any hear a runner's foot
Or a steed's trample or a coach-wheel's cry?
Is the Earl come or his least poursuivant?
