The Works of Christopher Marlowe
Edward II
Act:
5
Scene:
1
Leister
Be patient good my lord, cease to lament,
Imagine Killingworth castell were your court
And that you lay for pleasure here a space,
Not of compulsion or necessitie.
Leister
My lord, why waste you thus the time away,
They stay your answer, will you yeeld your crowne?
Leister
Call them againe my lorde, and speake them faire,
For if they goe, the prince shall lose his right.
Leister
My lord, the king is willing to resigne.
Leister
An other poast, what newes bringes he?
Leister
My lorde, the counsell of the Queene commaunds,
That I resigne my charge.
Leister
Favor him my lord, as much as lieth in you.
Leister
Not yet my lorde, ile beare you on your waye.
