The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Edward II


Act: 2 Scene: 5
My lords, king Edward greetes you all by me.
His majesty,
Hearing that you had taken Gaveston,
Intreateth you by me, yet but he may
See him before he dies, for why he saies,
And sends you word, he knowes that die he shall,
And if you gratifie his grace so farre,
He will be mindfull of the curtesie.
Then if you will not trust his grace in keepe;
My lords, I will be pledge for his returne.
My lord of Lancaster, what say you in this ?
Tis verie kindlie spoke my lord of Penbrooke,
Your honor hath an adamant, of power
To drawe a prince.
