III,2,1884

Lord Hastings. Go on before; I'll talk with this good fellow.
[Exeunt STANLEY and CATESBY]
How now, sirrah! how goes the world with thee?

Pursuivant. The better that your lordship please to ask.

III,2,1892

Lord Hastings. I tell thee, man, 'tis better with me now
Than when I met thee last where now we meet:
Then was I going prisoner to the Tower,
By the suggestion of the queen's allies;
But now, I tell thee—keep it to thyself—
This day those enemies are put to death,
And I in better state than e'er I was.

Pursuivant. God hold it, to your honour's good content!

III,2,1895

(stage directions). [Throws him his purse]

Pursuivant. God save your lordship!
