Aye me. Oh here, here is a vent to pass my sighs. I have surcharged the dungeon with my plaints. Prison, and heart will burst, if void of vent I, that is Phoebe, empress of the night, That begins to mount; o chastest deity: If I be false to my Antonio, If the least soil of lust smeers my pure love, Make me more wretched, make me more accursed Then infamy, torture, death, hell and heaven Can bound with amplest power of thought: if not, Purge my poor heart, with defamations blot. Kill me, I faith I'll wink, not stir a jot. For God sake kill me: insooth, loved youth, I am much injured; look, see how I creep. I cannot wreak my wrong, but sighs and weep. To morrow I must die For loving thee; 'tis true my sweetest breast I must die falsely: so must thou, deer heart. Nets are a knitting to entrap thy life. Thy father's death must make a Paradise To my (I shame to call him) father. Tell me sweet, Shall I die thine? dost love me still, and still? Then welcome heavens will. Give me thy hand. Peace on thy bosom dwell: Thats all my woe can breath: kiss. Thus farewell. ALL honour to this royal confluence. Produce the devil,; let your Strotzo come: I can defeat his strongest argument, Which With tears, with blushes, sighs, & clasped hands, With innocent upreared arms to heaven: With my vnnookt simplicity. These, these Must, will, can only quit my heart of gilded. Heaven permits not taintless blood be spilled. If no remorse live in your savage breast Yet dying, I'll be blessed. Yet blessed, in that I strove To live, and die Antonyo's love. I, is this the clofe of all my strains in love? Oh me most wretched maid. He still cried Mellida? Aye me. I know he loved me dearly, dearly, I: And since I cannot live with him, I die. Woe for my deer deer love. How found you out, my Lord (alas) I know 'Tis easy in this age, to find out woe. I have a suit to you. Let me entreat a favour, gracious love. Be patient, see me die, good do not weep: Go sup, sweet chuck, drink, and securely sleep. God night good heart,
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.
