Henry IV, Part 2

’Tis well done .
My friends and brethren in these great affairs ,
I must acquaint you that I have received
New-dated letters from Northumberland ,
Their cold intent , tenor , and substance , thus :
Here doth he wish his person , with such powers
As might hold sortance with his quality ,
The which he could not levy ; whereupon
He is retired , to ripe his growing fortunes ,
To Scotland , and concludes in hearty prayers
That your attempts may overlive the hazard
And fearful meeting of their opposite .
