Próbką stylu Kyda jest otwierający sztukę monolog ducha Andrea:
When this eternal substance of my soul Did live imprison’d in my wanton flesh, Each in their function serving other’s need, I was a courtier in the Spanish court: My name was Don Andrea; my descent, Though not ignoble, yet inferior far To gracious fortunes of my tender youth. For there in prime and pride of all my years, By duteous service and deserving love, In secret I possess’d a worthy dame, Which hight sweet Bellimperia by name.
Dramaturg wykorzystuje aliterację: prime and pride. Kyd, opierając się na wzorach antycznych, stosuje stychomytię, czyli wymianę replik jednowersowych:
Lorenzo: This hand first took his courser by the reins. Horatio: But first my lance did put him from his horse. Lorenzo: I seiz’d his weapon, and enjoy’d it first. Horatio: But first I forc’d him lay his weapons down.
