Not illustrated. 1894 edition. Excerpt: ...than St. Peter? whom--what is it you doubt? Behold your peace at hand. Becket. I say that those Who went before us did not wholly clear The deadly growths of earth, which Hell's own heat So dwelt on that they rose and darken'd Heaven. Yet they did much. Would God they had torn up all By the hard root, which shoots again; our trial Had so been less; but, seeing they were men Defective or excessive, must we follow All that they overdid or underdid? Nay, if they were defective as St. Peter Denying Christ, who yet defied the tyrant. We hold by his defiance, not his defect. O good son Louis, do not counsel me, No, to suppress God's honor for the sake Of any king that breathes. No, God forbid! Henry. No! God forbid! and turn me Mussulman! No God but one, and Mahound is his prophet. But for your Christian, look you, you shall have None other God but me--me, Thomas, son Of Gilbert Becket, London merchant. Out! I hear no more! Exit.

You will have war; and tho' we grant the Church King over this world's kings, yet, my good lord, We that are kings are something in this world, And so we pray you, draw yourself from under The wings of France. We shelter you no more. Exit. John of Oxford. I am glad that France hath scouted him at last: I told the Pope what manner of man he was. Exit. Roger of York.

Our castle, my lord, belongs to Canterbury. I pray you come and take it. Exit. Fitzurse....
