I would be towsing Their saire Madonna's, that in little Dogs, Monkeis, and Paraquito's consume thousands; Yet for the advancement of a noble Actium, Repine to partly with a poor Piece of Eight: Wars plagues vpon'em: I have seene'em stop Their scornful noses first, then seem to swoon At sighed of a buff Jerkin; if it were not Perfumed, and hid with Gold; Yet these nice wantons, (Spurred on by Lust, covered in some disguise, To meet some rough Court Stallion, and be leaped) Durst enter into any common Brothel, Though all varieties of stink contend there; Yet praise the entertainment. My main hope is, To begin the sport at Milan: Ther's enough, And of all kinds of pleasure we can wish for, To satisfy the most covetous. On mine, I do not wish it: I had rather that To show his valour, he'd put us to the trouble To fetch him in by the Ears. And should be writ so, In the list of those you pardon. Would his City Had rather held us out a Seidge Like Troy, Then by a feigned submission, he should cheat you Of a joust revenge: Or us, of those fair glories We have sweat blood to purchase. There is Fire, and Spirit in't; But not long lived, I hope. I do begin, I know not why, to hate him Less then I did. As I live, I do begin strangely to love this fellow; And could partly with three quarters of my share In the promised spoil, to save him. He hath delivered reasons, Especially in his purpose to enrich Such as fought bravely (I my self am one, I care not who knows it) as, I wonder, that He can be so stupid. Now he begins to stir, Mercy an't be thy will. In this and all things, we are your Servants.

I am cousen'd: A suitor in the Devils name. This founds well. We embrace you, As one well read in all the points of honour, And there we are your Scholars.
Plot summary
Plot — The Duke of Milan
Sforza, Duke of Milan, dotes on his haughty Duchess Marcelia, and fears the prospect of losing her. Her birthday banquet is interrupted by bad news: Sforza rebuffed Charles the Emperor’s overtures and chose to ally Milan with France instead; but now the Empire has routed France at the Battle of Pavia. Sforza expects imperial reprisals, and goes to submit himself to Charles. Before he leaves, he appoints Francisco his deputy, with instructions that, should he not return, Marcelia is to be murdered so that nobody else shall enjoy her. He submits himself to Charles, offers an explanation but no excuse for his supporting France, and expresses his willingness to pay with his life in order to prevent the imperial army from sacking Milan, thus sparing his subjects further bloodshed.

She refuses him, so he explains the excessive love which led Sforza to order her death. This annoys her. When Sforza returns to Milan, she greets him coldly, which gives offence. Mariana learns of Francisco’s efforts to seduce Marcelia, and informs Sforza, who will not believe her. Francisco finds out her plans in advance and sets up the situation to favour his revenge: three years before, his sister Eugenia was seduced by Sforza with a promise of marriage on which he then reneged. First he presents himself to Marcelia as a potential victim of Sforza’s jealousy, inducing her to promise to protect him. Then he tells Sforza that Marcelia has tried to seduce him. As a test of her fidelity, Sforza pretends to have murdered ===== PAGE 365 ===== 1621 Francisco; Marcelia’s outrage seems to confirm her guilt, and Sforza wounds her fatally. News arrives that Francisco has fled Milan; Marcelia tells her husband the truth, and dies. Sforza is distracted with grief. His physicians persuade him that she is merely in a coma and may one day be revived, but realize that putrefaction will soon put an end to the ruse. Francisco returns to court posing as a Jewish doctor, and offers to treat the body to prolong the appearance of life. In fact, he puts poison in her mouth, claiming it…
