The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Edward II


Act: 4 Scene: 6
Succesfull battells gives the God of kings,
To them that fight in right and feare his wrath:
Since then succesfully we have prevayled,
Thankes be heavens great architect and you.
Ere farther we proceede my noble lordes,
We heere create our welbeloved sonne,
Of love and care unto his royall person,
Lord warden of the realme, and sith the fates
Have made his father so infortunate,
Deale you my lords in this, my loving lords,
As to your wisdomefittest seemes in all.
My lord, the Maior of Bristow knows our mind.
Baldock is with the king,
A goodly chauncelor, is he not my lord ?
We thanke you all.
I rue my lords ill fortune, but alas,
Care of my countrie cald me to this warre.
