Sure Phego that should be sig ior Bordello : I pray you in treat his approach: of all our Courtiers I love men of his con try and breeding, they are the lovingest, best spoken, well gract creatures in these parts extant: I think it be given to those that be born under your northern climb, to thaw and melt away at the Sunshine of beauty: you shall read in very late stories that many of them have lost their best members in the service of La die and distressed waiting Gentlewomen.

Plot summary
Plot — The Turk (Muleasses the Turk)
Julia, the under-age Duchess of Florence, has been promised by her uncle, Borgias, in marriage to the Duke of Ferrara; but the Senate has promised her to the Duke of Venice. The rival dukes lay siege to Florence, but Borgias gets them to raise the siege by hiding Julia and telling them that she is dead. To supply a body for the funeral, he has his wife Timoclea poisoned by the Turk Muleasses. Borgias intends to marry his daughter Amada to Muleasses, marry Julia himself now that he is a widower, and make himself King of Italy; Muleasses will help him in order to secure Turkey a foothold in Christendom. They also plot to murder Venice and Ferrara, using a poison with a thirty-day time delay, so that they will not die until after they have left Florence. But Borgias still has another dead body to find, to stand in for Timoclea at her funeral, and he asks Eunuchus to help supply one. Eunuchus inveigles Bordello into a false assignation with Timoclea, intending to leave him instead in Borgias’s bedchamber to be killed. In fact, Timoclea is not dead: Muleasses only gave her a sleeping draught, and when she wakes he releases her from Julia’s tomb and promises to help her take revenge on her husband. She appears to Venice posing as Julia’s ghost, and denounces Borgias as her murderer. Bordello sees her en route to his assignation, and is scared off. Eunuchus is also haunted, flees, and ends up running into Ferrara’s dagger, with fatal consequences. After overhearing Muleasses express his passion for Amada, Timoclea jealously kills her. Muleasses encourages her to haunt and kill Borgias too. She tells her husband that she has been having an affair with the Turk, and he pretends to commit suicide by throwing himself off a balcony. This frees her to enjoy Muleasses, but he rejects her, intending that she 1607 should take her own life in despair. Muleasses calls for Eunuchus to remove Borgias’s body, but it is Ferrara who comes, in disguise, having substituted himself for the dead eunuch. Borgias, who is not really dead, stabs him; Ferrara lives long enough to reveal his true identity. In order to touch his wife’s conscience, Borgias poses as an echo, then as his own ghost; finally he strangles her with her own hair. Borgias plans to pin the murders of both Ferrara and Timoclea on Muleasses, but Bordello comes upon Timoclea’s body and is caught with it by Venice. Muleasses attempts to rape Julia, but Venice saves her. Muleasses explains Borgias’s plot; the two…
