The Works of Christopher Marlowe

The Massacre at Paris


Act: 1 Scene: 9
Madam, I have heard him solemnly vow,
With the rebellious King of Navarre,
For to revenge their deaths upon us all.

Act: 1 Scene: 12
Vive le Roy, vive le Roy.
And long may Henry enjoy all this and more.
Vive le Roy, vive le Roy.
Madam, as I in secresy was tolde,
My brother Guise hath gathered a power of men,
Which are he saith, to kill the Puritans,
But tis the house of Burbon that he meanest
Now Madam must you insinuate with the King,
And tell him that tis for his Countries good,
And common profit of Religion.

Act: 1 Scene: 20
Murder me not, I am a Cardenall.
What, will you fyle your handes with Churchmens bloud?
Then there is no remedye but I must dye?
Yet lives
My brother Duke Dumaine, and many moe:
To revenge our deaths upon that cursed King,
Upon whose heart may all the furies gripe,
And with their pawes drench his black soule in hell.
