Arch. I take your princely word for these redresses.
Lanc. I give it you, and will maintain my word:
And thereupon I drink unto your Grace. 68
Hast. [To an Officer.] Go, captain, and deliver to the army
This news of peace: let them have pay, and part:
I know it will well please them: hie thee, captain.
Arch. To you, my noble Lord of Westmoreland. 72
West. I pledge your Grace: and, if you knew what pains
I have bestow'd to breed this present peace,
You would drink freely; but my love to you
Shall show itself more openly hereafter. 76
Arch. I do not doubt you.
West.I am glad of it.
Health to my lord and gentle cousin, Mowbray.
Mowb. You wish me health in very happy season;
For I am, on the sudden, something ill. 80
Arch. Against ill chances men are ever merry,
But heaviness foreruns the good event.
West. Therefore be merry, coz; since sudden sorrow
Serves to say thus, Some good thing comes to-morrow. 84
Arch. Believe me, I am passing light in spirit.
Mowb. So much the worse if your own rule be true. Shout [within].
Lanc. The word of peace is render'd: hark, how they shout!
Mowb. This had been cheerful, after victory. 88
70 part: depart
81 Against: when about to face
82 heaviness: depression
85 passing: exceedingly
87 render'd: reported
