Blunt. Tut, I came not to hear this.[3001]
Hot. Then to the point.
In short time after, he deposed the king;90
Soon after that, deprived him of his life;
And in the neck of that, task'd the whole state;[3002]
To make that worse, suffer'd his kinsman March,
Who is, if every owner were well placed,[3003]
Indeed his king, to be engaged in Wales,[3004]95
There without ransom to lie forfeited;
Disgraced me in my happy victories,
Sought to entrap me by intelligence;
Rated mine uncle from the council-board;[3005]
In rage dismiss'd my father from the court;100
Broke oath on oath, committed wrong on wrong,[3006]
And in conclusion drove us to seek out
This head of safety; and withal to pry
Into his title, the which we find[3007]
Too indirect for long continuance.105
Blunt. Shall I return this answer to the king?
Hot. Not so, Sir Walter: we'll withdraw awhile.[3008]
Go to the king; and let there be impawn'd
Some surety for a safe return again,[3009]
And in the morning early shall my uncle110
Bring him our purposes: and so farewell.[3010]
Blunt. I would you would accept of grace and love.
Hot. And may be so we shall.
Blunt. Pray God you do. [Exeunt.[3011]
Scene IV. York. The Archbishop's palace.
Enter the Archbishop of York and Sir Michael.[3012]
Arch. Hie, good Sir Michael; bear this sealed brief[3013]
With winged haste to the lord marshal;[3014]
This to my cousin Scroop, and all the rest
To whom they are directed. If you knew[3015]
How much they do import, you would make haste.[3015]5
