Bard. Tell thou the earl,
Stuffing the ears of men with false reports.
I speak of peace, while covert enmity,

That the lord Bardolph doth attend him here!

Blown by surmises, jealousies, conjectures,
And of so easy and so piain a stop,

I did demand, what news from Shrewsbury.

Mor. I am sorry, I should force you to believe,
He told me, that rebellion had bad luck,

That, which I would to heaven I had not seen:
And that young Harry Percy's spur was cold: But these mine eyes saw him in bloody state,
With that, he gave his able horse the head,

Against the panting sides of his poorjade

Up to the rowel-head; and, starting so,

From whence with life he never more sprung up.
He seem'd in running to devour the way,
