<l>Enter Gaveston, reading on a letter that</l>
<l>Was brought him from the king.</l>
<l>Gav. 'my father is deceased. come Gaveston,</l>
<l>And share the kingdom with thy dearest friend.'</l>
<l>Ah, words that make me surfeit with delight!</l>
<l>What greater bliss can hap to Gaveston</l>
<l>Than live and be the favorite of a king!</l>
<l>Sweet prince, i come! these, these thy amorous lines</l>
<l>Might have enforced me to have swum from france,</l>
<l>And, like leander, gasped upon the sand,</l>
<l>So thou wouldst smile, and take me in thine arms.</l>
<l>The sight of london to my exiled eyes</l>
<l>Is as elysium to . . .
