There can no punishment be thought to great For this so grievous crime: let speed therefore Be used therein for it behooves so. If ever time to gain a kingdom here Were offered man, now it is offered me: The Realm is reft both of their king & Queen The offspring of the Prince is slain and dead No issue now remains, the Heir unknown, The people are in Arms and mutinies The Nobles they are busied how to cease These great rebellious tumults and uproars And Britain Land now desert left alone Amid these broils uncertain where to rest Offers her self unto that noble heart That will or dare pursue to bear her Crown: Shall I that am the Duke of Albany Descended from that Line of noble blood. Which hath so long floorisshed in worthy fame Of valiant hearts, such as in noble Breasts Of right should rest above the baser sort, Refuse to adventure lief to win a Crown, Whom shall I find enemies that will w to stand My fact herein, if I attempt by Arms To seek the Fame now in these times of broil These Dukes power can hardly well appease The people that already are in Arms. But if perhaps my force be ones in field Is not my strength in power above the best Of all these Lords now left in Britain Land. And though they should match me w to power of men Yet doubtful is the chance of Battle's joined If Victor's of the field we may depart, Ours is the Sceptre than of great Britain, If slain amid the plain this body be Mine enemies yet shall not deny me this, But that I died gyving the noble charge To hazard life for conquest of a Crown. Forthwith therefore will I in post depart To Albany and raise in Armour there All power I can: and here my secret friends, By secret practice shall solicit still, To seek to win to me the peoples hearts.
Plot summary
Plot — Ferrex and Porrex (Gorboduc)
Queen WidHa is outraged that King GGEBGAGE plans to divide his prosperous kingdom between his two sons, instead of leaving everything to the elder, Fetrex) Gorboduc seeks his council’s consent to the division, ‘and to his sons’ installation as kings before his own death, but gets three different answers. He makes Ferrex king of the south, PO#PEX of the north, and appoints a counsellor to advise each. B€frex is advised to mistrust his brother’s intentions, and he prepares for war. This provokes POFFex into making a pre-emptive invasion of the south; he murders Ferrex with his own hands. Gorboduc summons Porrex and charges him with fratricide. Porrex admits it, and is killed by Videna. In turn, Gorbodie and Vida are murdered by their own people. The land is laid waste with civil war, followed by mass executions after the good councillor BGbGIGS and the British dukes repress the rebellion. Fergus) Duke of Albany, takes advantage of the chaos to plot for the throne. In taking arms against him, the other lords agree, rather than submit to foreign domination, to remit the question of the succession to the judgement of Parliament. Eubulus is confident that the crown will eventually be restored to the rightful heir.
