Noble earl, I bring you certain news from Shrewsbury. (NORTHUMBERLAND: Good, an God will!) As good as heart can wish. The King is almost wounded to the death; And, in the fortune of my lord your son, Prince Harry slain outright; and both the Blunts Kill’d by the hand of Douglas; young Prince John And Westmoreland and Stafford fled the field; And Harry Monmouth’s brawn, the hulk Sir John, Is prisoner to your son. O, such a day, So fought, so follow’d and so fairly won, Came not till now to dignify the times Since Caesar’s fortunes! (NORTHUMBERLAND: How is this derived? Saw you the field? Came you from Shrewsbury?) I spake with one, my lord, that came from thence, A gentleman well bred and of good name, That freely render’d me these news for true.
