Edward II

Act: 4 Scene: 2

Madam, returne to England,

And please my father well, and then a Fig

For all my unckles frienship here in Fraunce.

I warrant you, ile winne his highnes quicklie,

A loves me better than a thousand Spencers.

So pleaseth the Queene my mother, me it likes.

The king of England, nor the court of Fraunce,

Shall have me from my gratious mothers side,

Till I be strong enough to breake a staffe,

And then have at the proudest Spencers head.

How meane you, and the king my father lives ?

No my lord Mortimer, not I, I trow.

I thinke king Edward will out-run us all.

Act: 4 Scene: 6

Tell me good unckle, what Edward doe you meane?

Shall I not see the king my father yet?
