The Works of Christopher Marlowe

The Massacre at Paris


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.
