The Massacre at Paris

Act: 1 Scene: 5

I am disguisde and none nows who I am,

And therfore meane to murder all I meet.

That charge is mine. Swizers keepe you the streetes,

And at ech corner shall the Kings garde stand.

Cossin, the Captaine of the Admirals guarde,

Plac'd by my brother, will betray his Lord:

Now Guise shall catholiques flourish once againe,

The head being of, the members cannot stand.

In lucky time, come let us keep this lane,

And slay his servants that shall issue out.

Now cosin view him well,

It may be it is some other, and he escapte.

I sweare by this crosse, wee'l not be partiall,

But slay as many as we can come neer.

Anjoy will follow thee.

Kill them, kill them.

Stay my Lord, let me begin the psalme.
