Oh, Madam Most virtuous Princess, banish straggling fear; Keep league with comfort. For these eyes beheld Tke Dukes united; you faint glimmering light Near peeped through the crannies of the east, Since I beheld them drink a found carouse, In sparkling Bacchus, Unto each others health; Your son assured to beauteous Mellida : And all clouds cleared of threatening discontent. I think about five. Madam, it best you took some lodging up, And lay in private till the soil of grief Were cleared your cheek, and new burnished lustre Clothed your presence, before you saw the Dukes, And entered, among the proud Venetian States. My Lord, 'tis supper time. Fair gentle prince My Lord My Lord, the Duke, with the Venetian States, Approach the great hall to judge Mellida. No motion of him: dare you trust this habit? Cheer up your spirits Madam; fairer chance Then that which courts your presence instantly, Can not be formed by the quick mould of thought.
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.
