Spent all day writing today. Not feeling super confident about this essay but it’s getting there. Hopefully it turns out ok after I revise it tomorrow.
Theatre last night was really great.
Base Fortune, now I see, that in thy wheel There is a point, to which when men aspire, They tumble headlong down: that point I touch'd, And, seeing there was no place to mount up higher, Why should I grieve at my declining fall? — Farewell, fair queen: weep not for Mortimer, That scorns the world, and, as a traveller, Goes to discover countries yet unknown.
Christopher Marlowe, Edward the Second
Then, Baldock, you must cast the scholar off, And learn to court it like a gentleman. ' Tis not a black coat and a little band, A velvet-cap'd cloak, fac'd before with serge, And smelling to a nosegay all the day, Or holding of a napkin in your hand, Or saying a long grace at a table's end, Or making low legs to a nobleman, Or looking downward, with your eye-lids close, And saying, "Truly, an't may please your honour," Can get you any favour with great men: You must be proud, bold, pleasant, resolute, And now and then stab, as occasion serves.
Christopher Marlowe, Edward the Second
edward ii - christopher marlowe (act i, scene i)
Edward the Second, by Christopher Marlowe, Act I:
Gaveston: I'm so glad I got unbanished. Now I get back with my boyfriend, the new king.
Edward: Gaveston! Let's be gay forever!
Everyone else: Gaveston sucks and your father banished him. You got to re-banish him.
Edward: ...Okay.
Everyone else: Oh thank god. Man, I really hate Gaveston.
Edward: *Mope*
JK! Gaveston can come back.
Eward: Yay!
Everyone else: Get a room.
