"_Pem._ Here, here, king: convey hence Gaveston, thaile murder him." I have followed Dyce in giving the line "Convey hence Gaveston, &c.," to the king; but I do not agree with him in regarding "king" as a prefix (for in the old copies "_Edw._" is always the prefix to the king's speeches.) [223] The reader cannot fail to be reminded of Hotspur:-- "But I will find him when he lies asleep, And in his ear I'll holla 'Mortimer!'" [224] The scene shifts to the interior of Tynemouth Castle. [225] So ed. 1612.--Ed. 1598 "would." [226] So ed. 1612.--Ed. 1598 "thy _treasure_ drie and made _the_ weake." [227] So modern editors.--Old eds. "hath." [228] Light-armed foot soldiers, poor and undisciplined.--Compare a passage in the _Contention of York and Lancaster_:-- "The wild Onele, my lord, is up in arms, With troops of Irish kernes that uncontroll'd Doth plant themselves within the English pale." [229] Old eds. "made."--"Road,"="Inroad." [230] old eds. "Drave." [231] Cf. _3 Henry VI_. i. 1:--"Stern Faulconbridge _commands the narrow seas_." [232] Against. [233] Jeering. [234] This jig (ballad) is taken with slight alteration from Fabyan's "Chronicle," ii. 169 (ed. 1559).--"The battle of Bannockburn," says Mr. Fleay, "was fought in 1314, yet is here alluded to in a scene which is made up from narratives of events which occurred between 1309 and 1311. This is a striking instance of Marlowe's carelessness in such matters." [235] "Common burdens to songs; see Skelton's _Works_, ii. 110, ed. Dyce."--_Dyce._ [236] "Ralph de Wigmore, who came into England with the Conqueror, obtained the Castle of Wigmore, Co. Hereford, and the Roger Mortimer of this play was summoned to Parliament as 'de Wigmore.'"--_Cunningham._ [237] Old eds. "him." [238] Scene: the neighbourhood of Tynemouth. [239] Surmise. [240] Tattered. [241] "In all Latin deeds the Mortimers are called 'de Mortuo mari.'" _Cunningham._ [242] Scene: the interior of Tynemouth Castle. [243] Delay. The word occurs in _3 Henry VI._ ii. 3, l. 56; _Arden of Feversham, &c._ [244] Old eds. "this." [245] So ed. 1622.--Eds. 1598, 1612, "_and_ therefore." [246] "There is such uncertainty about the location of this scene that I can only mark it--an open country."--_Dyce._ [247] The Italian form of "maugre." [248] So ed. 1612.--Ed. 1598 "these." [249] A line, as Dyce remarks, in which Warwick says that Gaveston shall be _beheaded_, has dropped out. [250] The passage is corrupt: I have followed the reading of the old eds. Dyce gives-- "Will _now_ these _short_ delays beget my hopes?" [251] "When? can you tell?"--a sort of proverbial expression. See Dyce's _Shakespeare Glossary_. [252] So Dyce.--Ed. 1598 omits "his." Eds. 1612, 1622, read:-- "He that _hath_ the care of Realme-remits." ("Care" must be pronounced as a dissyllable.) [253] Cunningham reads "sees." [254] Old eds. "It is."
