The Massacre at Paris


Act: 1 Scene: 4
My noble sonne, and princely Duke of Guise,
Now have we got the fatall stragling deere,
Within the compasse of a deadly toyle,
And as we late decreed we may perfourme.
I hope these reasons mayserve my princely, Sonne,
To have some care for feare of enemies.
Thankes to my princely sonne, then tell me Guise,
What order wil you set downe for the Massacre?
Your Majesty had best goe visite him,
And make a shew as if all were well.
