SCENE VI. Windsor. An Apartment in the Castle.
Flourish. Enter King Henry and York with Lords and Attendants.
KING HENRY.
Kind uncle York, the latest news we hear
Is that the rebels have consumed with fire
Our town of Cicester in Gloucestershire,
But whether they be ta’en or slain we hear not.
Enter Northumberland.
Welcome, my lord. What is the news?
NORTHUMBERLAND.
First, to thy sacred state wish I all happiness.
The next news is: I have to London sent
The heads of Salisbury, Spencer, Blunt, and Kent.
The manner of their taking may appear
At large discoursed in this paper here.
KING HENRY.
We thank thee, gentle Percy, for thy pains,
And to thy worth will add right worthy gains.
Enter Fitzwater.
FITZWATER.
My lord, I have from Oxford sent to London
The heads of Brocas and Sir Bennet Seely,
Two of the dangerous consorted traitors
That sought at Oxford thy dire overthrow.
KING HENRY.
Thy pains, Fitzwater, shall not be forgot.
Right noble is thy merit, well I wot.
