Edward II

Act: 2 Scene: 2

Welcome Lord governour of the Ile of Man.

Looke to your owne crowne, if you back him thus.

Lets to our castels, for the king is moovde.

Ile have his bloud, or die in seeking it.

Meane time my lord of Penbrooke and my selfe,

Will to Newcastell heere, and gather head.

I warrant you.

Act: 2 Scene: 3

He is your brother, therefore have we cause

To cast the worst, and doubt of your revolt.

And ile follow thee.

Act: 2 Scene: 4

Forslowe no time, sweet Lancaster lets march.

Act: 2 Scene: 5

Upon him souldiers, take away his weapons.

Souldiers, have him away:

But for thou wert the favorit of a King,

Thou shalt have so much honor at our hands.

Arundell, say your message.

How now?

No, it needeth not.

Arundell, we will gratifie the king

In other matters, he must pardon us in this,

Souldiers away with him.

When, can you tell ? Arundell no,

We wot, he that the care of realme remits,

And drives his nobles to these exigents

For Gaveston, will if he seaze zease sees him once,

Violate any promise to possesse him.

Penbrooke, what wilt thou do?

Cause yet more bloudshed: is it not enough

That we have taken him, but must we now

Leave him on had-I-wist, and let him go ?

Nay, do your pleasures,I know how twill proove.

Yet not perhaps, [Aside.]

If Warwickes wit and policile prevaile.

Act: 2 Scene: 6

My lord of Penbrookes men,

Strive you no longer, I will have that Gaveston.

No James, it is my countries cause I follow.

Goe, take the villaine, soldiers come away,

Weel make quick worke, commend me to your maister

My friend, and tell him that I watcht it well.

Come, let thy shadow parley with king Edward.

The king of heaven perhaps, no other king, Away.
