What is this forest call’d? (HASTINGS: ’Tis Gaultree Forest, an ’t shall please your Grace.) Here stand, my lords, and send discoverers forth To know the numbers of our enemies. (HASTINGS: We have sent forth already.) ’Tis well done. My friends and brethren in these great affairs, I must acquaint you that I have received New-dated letters from Northumberland, Their cold intent, tenor, and substance, thus: Here doth he wish his person, with such powers As might hold sortance with his quality, The which he could not levy; whereupon He is retired, to ripe his growing fortunes, To Scotland, and concludes in hearty prayers That your attempts may overlive the hazard And fearful meeting of their opposite.
