The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Edward II


Act: 2 Scene: 3
Stay Edmund, never was Plantagenet
False of his word, and therefore trust we thee.
Ile give the onset.
This tottered ensigne of my auncesters,
Which swept the desart shore of that dead sea,
Whereof we got the name of Mortimer,
Will I advaunce upon this castell walles,
Drums strike alarum, raise them from their sport,
And ring aloude the knell of Gaveston.
