Full speech
Is this the fellow that the people pointed at, For the mere sign of man, the walking image, He speaks wondrous highly. Is there no difference betwixt his and you sir. Nay sir you shall not carry it So bravely off, you shall not wrong a Lady In a high huffing strain, and think to bear it, We stand not by as bawds to your brave fury, To see a Lady weep. I have better thought, I pray sir use your wife well. I'll cross your joy yet. He shall not have his will, I shall prevent him, I have a toy here that will to rne the tide, And suddenly, and strangely, here Done Ivan, Do you present it to him. A fellow sounded out of Charity, And moulded to the height contemn his maker, Curb the freehand that framed him? This must not be. Ne e fear it Sanchio, Weel have her free again, and move at Court, In her clear orb, but one sweet hansomenesse, To bless this partly of Spain, and have that slubberd. I thank you noble sir. Do not disquiet me, But let me take my leave in peace. Exit Duke. Sanch. Alon. Marg. Servants. Who's there, o o. Are there none here, Let me look round; we cannot be too wary, noise below. O let me bless this hour, are you alone sweet friend. What's that you tumble, I have herd a noise this half hour under me, A fearful noise. I have none Lady, My wounds I counterfeited cunningly, Noise below. And feigned the quarrel too, to enjoy you sweet, Let's lose no time, hark the same noise again. I have none, I am as lusty and as full of health, High in my blood. It nam me certainly, I herd it plainly found. Heaven bless me. I would I were, A that condition I had leapt a window. Are you honest then. Would I were off fair, If ever Lady caught me in a trap more. She mocks my misery, thou cruel Lady. I am most miserable. Let me be gone, I'll never more a tempt you. Preserve me but this once. I would not die so wretchedly. have you no mercy. A goodly house. Now Cacafogo, how Like you this mansion, It a brave pawn. I thank you Lady, I am bold to visit you. Once more to bless mine eyes with your sweet beauty, Tas been a long night since you left the Court, For till I saw you now, no day broke to me. Your wife? What Sir, preparing for your noble journey? 'Tis well and full of care. J saw your mind was wedded to the war, And knew you would prove some good man for your cou ̄ try Therefore fair Cozen with your gentle pardon, I God this place, what mourn at his advancement? You are too blame, he will come again sweet cozen, Mean time Like sad Penelope and sage, Amongst your maids at home, and huswifely. By no means Captain. What take a young and tender bodied Lady, And expose her to those dangers, and those tumults, A sickly Lady too. I cannot blame her tears, fright her with tempests With thunder of the war. I dare swear if she were able. Are you blank at this, then I must tell you Sir, You have no command, now you may go at pleasure And ride your ass troop, it a trick I use To try your jealousy upon entreaty, And saving of your wife. If I miss thee again, I am and arrant bungler. I fell out with my friend the noble Coronel, My cause was nought, for 'twas about your honour: And he that wrongs the Innocent never prospers; And he has left me thus for charity, Lend me a bed to ease my tortured body, That ere I perish I may show my penitence, I fear I am slain. I had thought he had been a devil. He made as many noises and as horrible, And this is yours, your true commission, Sir, Now you are a Captain. And all the world shall know, a noble mind Makes women beautiful and envy blind. Exeunt. I'll warrant he shall be glad to please us, And glad to share too, we shall hear anon A new song from him, let's attend a little. Exeunt Believe me Lady. The noise again. And isle be your true servant, Ever from this hour virtuously to love you, Chastely and modestly to look upon you, And here I seal it. Have you brought me comfort.
Plot summary
Plot — Rule a Wife and Have a Wife
Perez, gathering his troops in preparation for an expedition to Flanders, is visited by the veiled Estefania. She piques his interest by refusing to show her face; on their second meeting, he woos her, hastily marries her, abandons his military career, and moves into what she claims to be her house, bringing with him what he claims to be a trunk of jewels. In fact the house belongs to Margarita; Estefania is no lady but a former servant. Margarita intends to marry, but when her older confidantes remind her of the joys of promiscuity, she decides on a husband who will be content to be cuckolded. Her waiting-woman Altea recommends Leon, who has just evaded military recruitment by feigning folly, and who agrees to be his wife’s subordinate in the marriage, no better than her household servants. The newlyweds arrive unexpectedly at Margarita’s city house, surprising Estefania and her husband. Estefania claims that she has lent the house to Margarita (whom she claims as a kinswoman), to facilitate the cozening of a lover. Perez moves temporarily into lodgings, whereupon Estefania steals the contents of his trunk. She later discovers the jewels to be counterfeit, and gets her own back by encouraging Perez to take possession of ‘his’ house; when he attempts to do so, he is rebuffed by Leon. She presents the jewels to the rich tradesman Cacafuego, persuading him that they are a love-gift from Margarita. In return, he gives her money which she hands over to Perez: evidently she has something to bring to the marriage after all. Now married to Margarita, Leon proves less subservient than she bargained for. She entertains the Duke of Medina to dinner, but Leon refuses to serve any food until he is introduced to the guests and treated as her husband, the host. The Duke tries to get rid of him by sending him a commission to lead a troop of cavalry in Flanders; but he intends to take Margarita along with him, and has all her property packed up. When Margarita cannot dissuade him by entreaty, sickness, or feigned pregnancy, the Duke admits that the commission was a fake. Leon's response is to plan a trip to visit Margarita’s commercial interests in the Indies. To delay her departure and extend her opportunities for adultery, the Duke arranges to be ‘injured’ in a fight outside the house so that he can be lodged there during his convalescence. Threatened with humiliation, Margarita submits herself to her husband. Cacafuego visits the house to show Margarita some jewels,…
