The Massacre at Paris


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.
