Christopher Marlowe Quote

YOUNGER MORTIMER: Base Fortune, now I see, that in thy wheelThere 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 shall 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.
