Sadness cannot Become a Bridal harmony. Have a stabbing wit. Were you ere in love fine Signior? Spruice Signior, if a man may love so many, Why may not a fair Lady have Like privilege Of several servants? Yet Women sure in such a case are ever More secret then men are. To swear and flatter, sometime lie for profit. You were indeed too broad, too violent. Somewhat bitter Against our sex. Why you are moved Sir? Why dost thou fright us so, and art so peremptory where we are present fellow? What a wise goosecap hast thou showed thy self? It is even so, and howsoever Report may wander loosely in some scandal Against our privacies; yet we have wanted No graceful means fit for our births and qualities, To train us up into a virtuous knowledge Of what, and who we ought to be. Aptly have you stiled it, A providence for ever in chased loves, Such majesty hath power,—our Kinsman Troylo Was herein his own factor; he will prove, Believe him Lady, every way as constant, As noble, we can bail him from the cruelty Of misconstruction. Sh'as waited on us From all our Cradles, will prate sometime oddly, However means but sport; I am unwilling Our household should break up, but must obey His wisdom, under whose command we live: Sever our companies I'm sure we shall not; Yet it's a pretty life this and a quiet. We knew you Sir, in Prugniolo's posture. Your sure friends. Command it Nitido. Our harmless pleasure's, free in every sort Actions of scandal; may they free report.
Plot summary
Plot — The Fancies Chaste and Noble
Before the start of the action, Lord Julio was advised by his physicians that his malady could be cured b narriage to a particular woman, Flavia. He duly arranged to purchase her from her husband, Fabricio, who procured a divorce by pretending a pre-contract. Flavia's brother Romanello is outraged and refuses to see her. Flavia herself feels ashamed of the arrangement and, at her request, Julio pensions off Fabricio and sends him into exile; he goes to Bologna and becomes a Capuchin monk. The gallants Camillo and Vespucci pursue Flavia, hoping that her track record indicates a propensity to adultery, but later see the error of their ways. Troilo Savelli procures a place at court for his friend Livio; but the price is that he must bring his sister Castamela to join the Bower of Fancies, a group of chaste young women visited by the Marquess Octavio for recreational purposes, and debarred most other company. Livio complies, breaking off Castamela's liaison with Romanello. The situation is not what it may seem, however: Octavio is impotent. Romanello comes to court disguised as a mountebank and manages to see the Fancies. Left alone with Castamela while the Fancies have a singing lesson, Octavio asks for her love, but she refuses, and later vents her annoyance on her brother for bringing her to court. Livio decides after all to give his blessing to her marriage to Romanello. Octavio is annoyed that scandalous rumours are in circulation concerning his relationship with the Fancies. He invites the principal characters to supper and the truth emerges: the Fancies are his nieces, and he was charged by their dead mother to supervise their education. Now that this is complete, he allows the courtiers to woo them. Romanello renounces his claim on Castamela, and she accepts Troilo's offer of marriage. In the sub-plot, Secco the young barber, whom Octavio has married to the Fancies' ancient guardian Morosa, is persuaded by the eunuch Spadone that he has been cuckolded by Octavio's page Nitido. Troilo saves the boy from a thrashing, and Secco takes his revenge by trapping Spadone in his barber's chair. Spadone confesses that he is only pretending to be a eunuch, and that he is the one who cuckolded Secco.
