The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Edward II

Act: 2 Scene: 1

The greefe for his exile was not so much,

As is the joy of his returning home.

This letter came from my sweete Gaveston,

What needst thou, love, thus to excuse thy selfe?

I know thou couldst not come and visit me.

I will not long be from thee though I die:

This argues the entire love of my Lord.

When I forsake thee, death seaze on my heart,

But rest stay Q3-4, Dd2- thee here where Gaveston shall sleepe

Now to the letter of my Lord the King,

He wils me to repaire unto the court,

And meete my Gaveston why do I stay,

Seeing that he talkes thus of my mariage day?

Whose there, Balduck?

See that my coache be readie, I must hence.

And meete me at the parke pale presentlie:

Exit [Baldock].

Spencer, stay you and beare me companie,

For I have joyfull newes to tell thee of;

My lord of Cornewall is a comming over,

And will be at the court as soone as we.

If all things sort out, as I hope they will,

Thy service Spencer shalbe thought upon.

Come lead the way, I long till I am there.

Act: 2 Scene: 2

Sweet unckle speake more kindly to the queene.

Two of my fathers servants whilst he liv'de,

Mait please your grace to entertaine them now.

Act: 2 Scene: 4

Farewell sweete unckle till we meete againe.
