The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Edward II


Act: 5 Scene: 4
Mortimer, I did, he is our king,
And thou compelst this prince to weare the crowne.
Strike of my head? base traitor I defie thee.
Staie villaines.
Art thou king, must I die at thy commaund?
Let me but stay and speake, I will not go,
Either my brother or his sonne is king,
And none of both them thirst for Edmunds bloud.
And therefore soldiers whether will you hale me?
