GAVESTON
I have some business; leave me to myself.

POOR MEN
We will wait here about the court.
Exeunt

GAVESTON
Do. These are not men for me;
I must have wanton poets, pleasant wits,
Musicians, that with touching of a string
May draw the pliant King which way I please.
Music and poetry is his delight;
Therefore I'll have Italian masques by night,
Sweet speeches, comedies, and pleasing shows.

—Christopher Marlowe, Edward the Second
