The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Edward II


Act: 5 Scene: 4
What else my lord ? and farre more resolute.
I, I, and none shall know which way he died.
Relent, ha, ha, I use much to relent.
You shall not need to give instructions,
Tis not the first time I have killed a man.
I learnde in Naples how to poison flowers,
To strangle with a lawne thrust through the throte,
To pierce the wind-pipe with a needles point,
Or whilst one is a sleepe, to take a quill
And blowe a little powder in his eares,
Or open his mouth, and powre quick silver downe,
But yet I have a braver way then these.
Nay, you shall pardon me, none shall knowe my trickes.
No?
That will I quicklie do farewell my lord.
