HOTSPUR

               We’ll fight with him to-night.



              WORCESTER
                               It may not be.



              DOUGLAS
               You give him then advantage.



              VERNON
                               Not a whit.



              HOTSPUR
               Why say you so? Looks he not for supply?



              VERNON
               So do we.



              HOTSPUR

                               His is certain, ours is doubtful.


              WORCESTER

               Good cousin, be advised; stir not to-night. [5]



              VERNON
               Do not, my lord.



              DOUGLAS
                               You do not counsel well.
               You speak it out of fear and cold heart.



              VERNON
               Do me no slander, Douglas. By my life −
               And I dare well maintain it with my life −

               If well-respected honour bid me on, [10]
               I hold as little counsel with weak fear
               As you, my lord, or any Scot that this day lives.
