Well, and what dost thou play? Whoop, in the old cut? good show us a draught of thy spirit. Faith sweet, isle lay thee on the lips for that jest. No, but the livings joust possession. Thy lips, and love, are mine. Why speak you not? The time is scant: now nimble wits appear: Phœbus begins gleam, the welkin's clear. Faith, isle tell thee. I'll no longer burn, then yowl shine and smile upon my love. For look ye fairest, by your pure sweets, I do not dote upon your excellence. And faith, unless you shed your brightest beams Of sunny favour, and acceptive grace Upon my tender love, I do not burn: Marry but shine, and isle reflect your beams, with fervent ardor. Faith I would be loath to flatter thee fair soul, because I love, not dote, court Like thy hus band; which thy father swears, to morrow morn I must be. This is all, and now from henceforth, trust me Mellida, I'll not speak one wise word to thee more. By my troth, I'll speak pure fool to thee now. Good faith, I'll accept of the coxcomb, so you will not refuse the babble. Go to, I must take you down for this. Lend me your ear. In your fair daughter, with all my thought, So help me faith, the naked truth I'll unfold; He that was never hight, will soon be cold. Hark thee, I pray thee taint not thy sweet ear With that sots gabble; By thy beauteous cheek, He is the flagging'st bulrush that ere drooped With each slight missed of rain. But with pleased eye Smile on my courtship.
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.
