2 MESSENGER.
By this at Daintry, with a puissant troop.
Enter Sir John Somerville.
WARWICK.
Say, Somerville, what says my loving son?
And, by thy guess, how nigh is Clarence now?
SOMERVILLE.
At Southam I did leave him with his forces
And do expect him here some two hours hence.
[Drum heard.]
WARWICK.
Then Clarence is at hand; I hear his drum.
SOMERVILLE.
It is not his, my lord; here Southam lies.
The drum your honour hears marcheth from Warwick.
WARWICK.
Who should that be? Belike, unlooked-for friends.
SOMERVILLE.
They are at hand, and you shall quickly know.
March. Flourish. Enter King Edward, Richard (Duke of Gloucester) and Soldiers.
