abroad;   those   never   dying   flames;   Which   cannot   be   extinguisht   but   by 

bloud。 Oft have I leveld; and at last have learnd; That perill is the cheefest 

way to happines; And resolution honors fairest aime。 What glory is there 

in a common good; That hanges for every peasant to atchive? That like I 

best that flyes beyond my reach。 Set me to scale the high Peramides; And 

thereon   set   the   Diadem   of   Fraunce;   Ile   either   rend   it   with   my   nayles   to 

naught; Or mount the top with my aspiring winges; Although my downfall 

be the deepest hell。 For this; I wake; when others think I sleepe; For this; I 

waite; that scorn attendance else: For this; my quenchles thirst whereon I 

builde;   Hath   often   pleaded   kindred   to   the   King。   For   this;   this   head;   this 

heart; this hand and sworde; Contrive; imagine and fully execute Matters 

of   importe;   aimed   at   by   many;   Yet   understoode   by   none。   For   this;   hath 

heaven   engendred   me   of   earth;   For   this;   the   earth   sustaines   my   bodies 

weight; And with this wait Ile counterpoise a Crowne; Or with seditions 

weary   all   the   worlde:   For   this;   from   Spaine   the   stately   Catholic   Sends 

Indian golde to coyne me French ecues: For this have I a largesse from the 

Pope; A pension and a dispensation too: And by that priviledge to worke 

upon;   My   policye   hath   framde   religion。   Religion:   O   Diabole。   Fye;   I   am 

ashamde; how ever that I seeme; To think a word of such a simple sound; 

Of   so   great   matter   should   be   made   the   ground。   The   gentle   King   whose 

pleasure uncontrolde; Weakneth his body; and will waste his Realme; If I 

repaire not what he ruinates: Him as a childe I dayly winne with words; So 

that for proofe; he barely beares the name: I execute; and he sustaines the 

blame。 The Mother Queene workes wonders for my sake; And in my love 

entombes   the   hope   of   Fraunce:   Rifling   the   bowels   of   her   treasurie;   To 

supply my wants and necessitie。 Paris hath full five hundred Colledges; As 

Monestaries;   Priories;   Abbyes   and   halles;   Wherein   are   thirtie   thousand 

able men; Besides a thousand sturdy student Catholicks; And more: of my 

knowledge in one cloyster keep; Five hundred fatte Franciscan Fryers and 

priestes。 All this and more; if more may be comprisde; To bring the will of 

our desires to end。 Then Guise; Since thou hast all the Cardes within thy 



                                                  6

hands To shuffle or to cut; take this as surest thing: That right or wrong; 

thou   deal'st   thy   selfe   a   King。   I   but;   Navarre。   Tis   but   a   nook   of   France。 

Sufficient yet for such a pettie King: That with a rablement of his hereticks; 

Blindes Europs eyes and troubleth our estate: Him will we 

     Pointing to his Sworde。 

     But first lets follow those in France。 That hinder our possession to the 

crowne: As   Caesar   to   his   souldiers;  so   say  I: Those   that   hate   me;   will   I 

learn to loath。 Give me a look; that when I bend the browes; Pale death 

may walke in furrowes of my face: A hand; that with a graspe may gripe 

the   world;   An   eare;   to   heare   what   my   detractors   say;   A   royall   seate;   a 

scepter and a crowne: That those which doe behold them may become As 

men that stand and gase against the Sunne。 The plot is laide; and things 

shall come to passe; Where resolution strives for victory。 

     Exit。

       Enter the King of Navar and Queen 'Margaret'; and his 'olde' Mother 

Queen 'of Navarre'; the Prince of Condy; the Admirall; and the Pothecary

    POTHECARIE。 Maddame; I beseech your grace to except this simple 

gift。 

    OLD QUEENE。 Thanks my good freend; holde; take thou this reward。 

    POTHECARIE。 I humbly thank your Majestie。 

    Exit Pothecary。 

    OLD   QUEENE。   Me   thinkes   the   gloves   have   a   very   strong   perfume; 

The sent whereof doth make my head to ake。 

    NAVARRE。 Doth not your grace know the man that gave them you? 

    OLD QUEENE。 Not wel; but do remember such a man。 

    ADMIRALL。           Your    grace   was    ill  advisde    to  take   them    then; 

Considering of these dangerous times。 

    OLD QUEENE。 Help sonne Navarre; I am poysoned。 

    QUEENE         MARGARET。          The   heavens    forbid   your    highnes    such 

mishap。 

    NAVARRE。 The late suspition of the Duke of Guise; Might well have 

moved your highnes to beware How you did meddle with such dangerous 

giftes。 

    QUEENE   MARGARET。   Too   late   it   is   my   Lord   if   that   be   true   To 

blame her highnes; but I hope it be Only some naturall passion makes her 

sicke。 

    OLD  QUEENE。  O  no;  sweet   Margaret; the  fatall   poyson   Doth   work 

within my heart; my brain pan breakes; My heart doth faint; I dye。 

     She dyes。 

    NAVARRE。   My  Mother   poysoned   heere   before   my  face:   O   gracious 

God; what times are these? O graunt sweet God my daies may end with 

hers; That I with her may dye and live againe。

     QUEENE MARGARET。 Let not this heavy chaunce my dearest Lord; 

(For whose effects my soule is massacred) Infect thy gracious brest with 

fresh supply; To agravate our sodaine miserie。 

    ADMIRALL。 Come my Lords let us beare her body hence; And see it 

honoured with just solemnitie。 

    As   they  are   going;   'enter'  the   Souldier   'above;   who'  dischargeth   his 

musket at the Lord Admirall 'and exit'。 

     CONDY。 What are you hurt my Lord high Admiral? 

    ADMIRALL。 I my good Lord; shot through the arme。 

    NAVARRE。 We are betraide; come my Lords; and let us goe tell the 

King of this。 

    ADMIRALL。 These are the cursed Guisians that doe seeke our death。 

Oh fatall was this mariage to us all。 

     They beare away the 'olde' Queene 'of Navarre' and goe out。
