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.
