The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Edward II


Act: 5 Scene: 3
My lord, be not pensive, we are your friends.
Men are ordaind to live in miserie,
Therefore come, dalliance dangereth our lives.
Heeres channell water, as our charge is given.
Sit downe, for weele be Barbars to your grace.
Why strive you thus? your labour is in vaine.
Twixt theirs and yours, shall be no enmitie.
Come, come, away, now put the torches out,
Weele enter in by darkenes to Killingworth.
Guarde the king sure, it is the earle of Kent.
Keepe them a sunder, thrust in the king.
The court is where lord Mortimer remaines,
Thither shall your honour go, and so farewell.
