—Would it were the Countess!
DERBY.
And hath accorded to your highness suite.
KING EDWARD.
—Thou liest, she hath not; but I would she had.
AUDLEY.
All love and duty to my Lord the King!
KING EDWARD.
Well, all but one is none.—What news with you?
AUDLEY.
I have, my liege, levied those horse and foot
According to your charge, and brought them hither.
KING EDWARD.
Then let those foot trudge hence upon those horse
According to our discharge, and be gone.—
Darby, I’ll look upon the Countess’ mind anon.
DERBY.
The Countess’ mind, my liege?
KING EDWARD.
I mean the Emperour:—leave me alone.
