_ ACT III - SCENE I
Scene I. Country near Deddington.
[Enter GAVESTON mourning, JAMES and other Attendants of PEMBROKE.]
Gav.
O treacherous Warwick, thus to wrong thy friend!
James.
I see it is your life these arms pursue.
Gav.
Weaponless must I fall, and die in bands?
O, must this day be period of my life,
Centre of all my bliss? And ye be men,
Speed to the king.
[Enter WARWICK and Soldiers.]
War.
My Lord of Pembroke's men,
Strive you no longer: I will have that Gaveston.
James.
Your lordship doth dishonour to yourself,
And wrong our lord, your honourable friend.
War.
No, James, it is my country's cause I follow.--
Go, take the villain: soldiers, come away;
We'll make quick work.--Commend me to your master,
My friend, and tell him that I watch'd it well.--
Come, let thy shadow parley with King Edward.
Gav.
Treacherous earl, shall I not see the king?
War.
The king of heaven perhaps, no other king.--
Away!
[Exeunt Warwick and Soldiers with Gaveston.]
James.
Come, fellows: it booted not for us to strive:
We will in haste go certify our lord.
