The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Edward II


Act: 5 Scene: 2
In health sweete Mortimer, how fares your grace?
I heare of late he hath deposde himselfe.
Ah they do dissemble.
Not I my lord: who should protect the sonne,
But she that gave him life, I meane the Queene?
I, do sweete Nephew.
I would those wordes proceeded from your heart.
The more cause have I now to make amends.
Sister, Edward is my charge, redeeme him.
Mortimer shall know that he hath wrongde mee.
Hence will I haste to Killingworth castle,
And rescue aged Edward from his foes,
To be revengde on Mortimer and thee.
