Thy pangs of anguish rip my cerecloth up: And lo the ghost of old Andrugio Forsakes his coffin. Antonio, revenge. I was empoisoned by Piero's hand: Revenge my blood; take spirit gentle boy: Revenge my blood. Thy Mellida, is chaste: Only to frustrate thy pursuit in love, Is blazed unchaste. Thy mother yields consent To be his wife, & give his blood a son, That made her husbandless, and does complot To make her sonless: but before I touch The banks of rest, my ghost shall visit her. Thou vigor of my youth, juice of my love, Seize on revenge, grasp the stern bent front Of frowning vengeance, with vnpaized clutch. Alarm Nemesis, rouse up thy blood, Invent some stratagem of vengeance: Which but to think on, may Like lightning glide, With horor through thy breast; remember this. Scelera non vlcisceris, nisi vincis. Exit Andrugio's ghost. Murder. From above and beneath. DISLOYAL to our Hymniall rites, What raging heat rains in thy stru ̄ pet blood? Hast thou so soon forgotten Andrugio? Are our love-bands so quickly canceled? Where lives thy plighted faith unto this breast? Oh weak Marya ! Go to, calm thy fears. I pardon thee, poor soul. Oh shed no tears. Thy sex is weak. That black incarnate fiend May trip thy faith, that hath orethrowne my life: I was empoisoned by Piero's hand. Join with my son, to bend up strained revenge. Maintain a seeming favour to his suit, Till time may form our vengeance absolute. Pardon ignorance. Fly deer Antonio : Once more assume disguise, and dog the Court In feigned habit, till Piero's blood May even overflow the brim of full revenge. Peace, and all blessed Fortune's to you both. Fly thou from Court, be peerless in revenge: Sleep thou in rest, lo here I close thy couch. And now ye sooty coursers of the night, Hurry your chariot into hels black womb. Darkness, make flight; Graves, eat your dead again: Let's repossess our shrowds. Why lags delay? Mount sparkling brightness, give the world his day. Venit die, tempusque, quo reddat suis Animam squallentem sceleribus. The fist of strenuous vengeance is clutched, And stern Vindictam towereth up aloft, That she may fall with a more weighty paise, And crush lives sap from out Pieros veins. Now begins the leprous cores of ulcered sins Wheal to a head: now is his fate grown mellow, Instant to fallen into the rotten jaws Of chapfallen death. Now down looks provide ̄ ce, T'attend the last act of my sons revenge. Be gracious, Observation, to our scene: For now the plot unites his scattered limbs Close in contracted bans. The Florence Prince (Drawn by firm notice of the Dukes black deeds) Is made a partner in conspiracy. The States of Venice are so swollen in hate Against the Duke, for his accursed deeds (Of which they are confirmed by some odd letters Found in dead Strotzos study, which had passed Betwixt Piero and the murdering slave) That they can scarce retain from bursting forth In plain revolt. Oh, now triumphs my ghost; Exclaiming, heaven's joust; for I shall see, The scourge of murder and impiety. Exit Here will I fit, spectator of revenge, And glad my ghost in anguish of my foe. Blessed be thy hand. I taste the joys of heaven, Viewing my son triumph in his black blood. Found doleful tunes, a solemn hymn advance, To close the last act of my vengeance: And when the subject of your passion's spent, Sing Mellida is dead, all hearts will relent, In sad condolement, at that heavy found, Never more woe in lesser plot was found. And, o, if ever time create a Muse, That to th'immortall fame of virgin faith, Dares once engage his pen to write her death, Presenting it in some black Tragedy. May it prove gracious, may his style be decked With freshest blooms of purest elegance; May it have gentle presence, and the Sceans sucked up By calm attention of choice audience: And when the closing Epilogue appears, In stead of claps, may it obtain but tears. Revenge. 'Tis done, and now my soul shall sleep in rest. Sons that revenge their father's blood, are blessed.
Plot summary
Plot — Antonio's Revenge (2 Antonio and Mellida)
The war between Venice and Genoa is over, and peace is to be sealed with a marriage between Antonio and Mellida, the children of the two dukes; Antonio's mother Maria is on her way to Venice to attend the wedding. But Duke Piero's commitment to peace is not sincere: he secretly murders Felice and Duke Andrugio, and hides Felice's body in Mellida's bedroom. When Antonio comes to wake her on the wedding morning, he finds the body hanging in the window, and Piero claims that he killed Felice in rage upon finding him and Mellida fornicating; Mellida herself is imprisoned. Andrugio in tum is reported to have died of joy. Piero's plan is to kill Antonio, marry Mellida to the heir to the duchy of Florence, and marry Maria himself, thereby extending his dominion across three Italian states. To this end, he plans to frame Antonio and establish Mellida's innocence. Antonio visits Andrugio's tomb and sees his ghost, who calls on him to avenge his death, assures him of Mellida's chastity, and warns him that Maria is going to marry Piero. Antonio murders Piero's son. The day before Maria's intended wedding, the ghost appears to her in her bedroom and reproaches her for disloyalty in widowhood. He further tells her that he was poisoned by Piero, and insists that Antonio should flee the court in order to seek revenge. Instead, Antonio stays at court disguised as a fool, and has it put about that he is dead. Mellida is put on trial, and Strozzo makes a false confession vindicating her and implicating Antonio in his father's death; Piero strangles him. On hearing that Antonio is dead, Mellida falls ill and dies herself. Letters are found in Strozzo's study which establish Piero's guilt, and opposition to him gathers head. With Maria's collusion, Antonio and his allies present a masque, which serves as cover to assault Piero: they remove his tongue, serve him a banquet of his dead son's limbs, and kill him. Contrary to expectations, the Venetian senators approve and applaud the murder, but even so the revengers declare their intention to retire to a religious order.
