The Tragedy

Edw.
That you have parled with your Mortimer.

Qu.
That Gavestone my Lord shall be repeald.

Edw.
Repeald, the newes is too sweet to be true.

Qu.
But will you love me if you find it so?

Edw.
If it be so, what will not Edward do?

Qu.
For Gaveston, but not for Isabell.

Edw.
For thee faire Queene, if thou lovest Gaveston,
Ile hang a golden tongue about my necke,
Seeing thou hast pleaded with so good successe.

Qu.
No other jewels hang about my necke
Then these my Lord, nor let me have more wealth,
Then I may fetch from this rich treasury:
O how a kisse revives poore Isabell.

Edw.
Once more receive my hand, and let this be,
A second mariage twixt thy selfe and me.

Qu.
And may it prove more happy then the first,
My gentle Lord, bespeake these Nobles faire,
That waite attendance for a gracious looke,
And on their knees salute your Majesty.

Edw.
Couragious Lancaster, imbrace thy King,
And as grosse vapours perish by the sunne,
Even so let hatred with thy soveraignes smile,
Live thou with me as my companion.

Lanc.
This salutation over-joyes my heart.

Edw.
Warwick shall be my chiefest Counsellour:
These silver haires will more adorne my Court,
Then gaudie silkes, or rich imbrothery,
Chide me sweete Warwicke, if I goe astray.

War.
Slay me my Lord, when I offend your Grace.

Edw.
In solemne triumphs, and in publike showes
Penbrooke shall beare the Sword before the King.

Pen.
And with this sword Penbrooke will fight for you.

Edw.
But wherefore walkes yong Mortimer aside?
Be thou commander of our royall fleete,
Or if that lofty office like thee not,
I make thee here Lord Marshall of the realme.

Mor.ju.
My Lord, ile Marshall all your enemies,
As England shall be quiet, and you safe.

Edw.
