Hah, her wit stings, blisters, galls off the skin with the tart acrimony of her sharp quickness: by sweetness, she is the very Pallas that flew out of Ju piters brainepan. Delicious creature, vouchsafe me your service: by the purity of bounty, I shall be proud of such bondage. Am not I a most sweet youth now? Good, very good, very passing passing good. Feliche, health, fortune, mirth, and wine, I drink to thee, sweating. Now thou hast seen the Court; by the perfec ction of it, dost not envy it? Would, would: but if thou knewest my happiness, Thou wouldst even grate away thy soul to dust, In envy of my sweet beatitude: I can not sleep for kisses; I can not rest For Ladies letters, that importune me With such unused vehemence of love, Straight to solicit them, that Pew waw, you never accourted them in pomp: Put your good parts in presence, graciously. Would, and you had, why they would would come of, sprung To your arms: and sued, and prayed, and vowed; And opened all their sweetness to your love. Nay then i'faith, pree thee look here. Oh, you spoil my ruff, unset my hair; good away. In sooth it is the outside of her letter; on which I took the copy of a tailors bill. And tell not my Lady mother.

It you that struck me even now: was it not? You bastinadoed me, I take it. Faith sir, I have the richest Tobacco in the court for you; I would be glad to make you satisfaction, if I have wronged you. I would not the Sun should set v Pon your anger; give me your hand. Spark spirit, how Like you his voice? By my wealthiest thought, you grace my shoo with and unmeasured honour: I will preserve the soale of it, as a most sacred relic, for this service. My mistress, the Lady Rossaline, withdrew her gracious aspect even now. I will warble to the delicious concave of my Mistress ear: and strike her thoughts with The pleasing touch of my voice.
Plot summary
Plot — Antonio and Mellida
The Genoese navy is routed by the Venetians, and the defeated Duke and his son Antonio are banished; the victorious Venetian Duke Piero proclaims a price on both their heads. Meanwhile, aristocratic suitors have come to Venice to woo Mellida, Piero's daughter and Antonio's love. Shipwrecked in Venetian territory and believing his father dead, Antonio disguises himself as an Amazon. He meets Mellida and is received at court; at first he maintains his alias, pretending to have seen Antonio die, but then reveals himself to Mellida. He makes arrangements to abscond with her to England; the plot is discovered, but they escape, separately, in disguise. Andrugio too is alive, believing Antonio to have perished, and he too has been washed up in Venice. Father and fugitive son are reunited in the Venetian marsh; then Antonio meets the disguised Mellida. Piero's search party captures Mellida; she is imprisoned and will be forced to marry her suitor Galeazzo. The courtiers perform a wedding masque, during which Andrugio arrives, to claim Piero's proffered reward for bringing his own head. Piero is astounded at his courage and renounces their enmity. Antonio prompts further remorse by feigning his own death; he rises from his coffin when Piero wishes Mellida's love could bring him back to life. Galeazzo agrees to give up Mellida (he was never that fond of her anyway), and Piero gives her to Antonio, along with the promised gold.
