The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Edward II


Act: 1 Scene: 1
Barons and Earls, your pride hath made me mute,
But now ile speake, and to the proofe I hope:
I do remember in my fathers dayes,
Lord Percie of the North being highly mov'd,
Brav'd Mowberie in presence of the king,
For which, had not his highnes lov'd him well,
He should have lost his head, but with his looke,
The undaunted spirit of Percie was appeasd,
And Mowberie and he were reconcild:
Yet dare you brave the king unto his face.
Brother revenge it, and let these their heads,
Preach upon poles for trespasse of their tongues.
Brother, the least of these may well suffice
For one of greater birth then Gaveston.
Ah brother, lay not violent hands on him,
For heele complaine unto the sea of Rome .

Act: 1 Scene: 4
Is this the dutie that you owe your king?
