The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Edward II


Act: 3 Scene: 1
Long live my soveraigne the noble Edward,
In peace triumphant, fortunate in warres.
Loe, with a band of bowmen and of pikes,
Browne bils, and targetiers, foure hundred strong,
Sworne to defend king Edwards royall right,
I come in person to your majestie,
Spencer, the father of Hugh Spencer there,
Bound to your highnes everlastinglie,
For favors done in him, unto us all.
A noble attempt, and honourable deed,
Is it not, trowe ye, to assemble aide,
And levie armes against your lawfull king?
