The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Edward II


Act: 4 Scene: 5
O no my lord, this princely resolution
Fits not the time, away, we are pursu'd.

Act: 4 Scene: 7
We were imbarkt for Ireland, wretched we,
With awkward windes, and sore tempests driven
To fall on shoare, and here to pine in feare
Of Mortimer and his confederates.
Edward. Mortimer, who talkes of Mortimer,
Who wounds me with the name of Mortimer
That bloudy man? good father on thy lap
Lay I this head, laden with mickle care,
O might I never open these eyes againe,
Never againe lift up this drooping head,
O never more lift up this dying hart!
My lord, it is in vaine to greeve or storme,
Here humblie of your grace we take our leaves,
Our lots are cast, I feare me so is thine.
Spencer, I see our soules are fleeted hence,
We are deprivde the sun-shine of our life,
Make for a new life man, throw up thy eyes,
And hart and hand to heavens immortall throne,
Pay natures debt with cheerefull countenance,
Reduce we all our lessons unto this,
To die sweet Spencer, therefore live wee all,
Spencer, all live to die, and rise to fall.
