I charge you by your duties to the State, And love to gentry, sheath your weapons. Gentlemen— Now in the name of manhood I conjure ye, Appear in your true shapes; Italians, You kill your honours more in this revenge, Than in his murder: Stay, stand, here's the house. Sheath all your weapons worthy Gentlemen, And by my life I swear, if Fontinell Have stained the honour of your Sisters bed, The fact being death, I'll pay you his proud head, This honest Officer— Shall fetch him forth: go sirrah, in our name Attach the French Lord. Oh what a scandal were it to a State, To have a stranger, (and a prisoner) Murdered by such a troop? Beside, through Venice Are numbers of his Countrymen dispersed; Whose rage (meeting with yours) none can prevent The mischief of a bloody consequent. Be satisfied my noble Countrymen, I'll trust you with his life, so you will pawn The faith's of Gentlemen, no desperate hand Shall rob him of it; otherwise, he runs Upon this dangerous point, that dares appose His rage gainst our authority: French Lord, Yield up this strength, our word shall be your Guard. My honest fellow, with a good defence, Enter again, fetch out the Courtesan, And all that are within. The beauty you adore so, is profane, The breach of wedlock (by our law) is death. With all severity. Make way, she comes. Now fetch Curuetto, and the Spaniard heather, Their punishments shall lie under one doom, What is she masked? This combat shall not need; for see, ashamed, Of their rash vows, these Gentlemen here break, This storm; and do with hands, what tongues should speak, O here's our other spirits that walk i'th night, Signior Curuetto, by complaint from her, And by your writing here, I reach the depth Of your offence; they charge your climbing up To be to rob her: if so, then by law You are to die unless she marry you. Well Signior, for we rightly understand, From your accusers, how you stood her guest, We pardon you and pass it as a jest: And for the Spaniard sped so hardly too, Discharge him Blurt, Signior we pardon you. Sirrah, his debt, our self will satisfy. And since this heat of fury is all spent, And Tragic shapes meet Comical event: Let this bright morning, merrily be crowned With dances, banquets, and choice Musics found.
Plot summary
Plot — Blurt, Master Constable, or The Spaniard's Night Walk
Camillo and Hippolito return home to Venice after a war with France. Camillo brings the French lord Fontinelle as a prisoner, and presents him to his love Violetta. She falls for the Frenchman, so Camillo sends him to prison. Hippolito takes charge of the situation. He makes the courtesan Imperia dote on Fontinelle by sending her his picture; but Fontinelle refuses to accept her love and is taken back to his dungeon. Meanwhile Camillo’s attempts to woo Violetta back are met with rejection. Fontinelle escapes by changing clothes with Frisco, and, using Violetta’s page as a go-between, makes an assignation at a chapel, where they are secretly married. Afterwards, though, he takes up with Imperia. Camillo swears revenge on all three and leads a party of armed men to kill them and hang out their dead bodies. Violetta also goes to find her husband at Imperia’s, and is invited to join him in bed. Camillo’s men, the watch, and the Duke all arrive simultaneously at the brothel. The Duke prevents murder being done, but has Fontinelle arrested for adultery, which is a capital crime in Venice. Violetta denies that infidelity has occurred: it was all a plot laid by her and Fontinelle. In the sub-plot, Lazarillo also arrives in Venice from the wars and gets lodgings with Blurt the constable. He goes to Imperia’s house to lecture the ladies on Spanish marital conduct, and makes a nocturnal assignation with Imperia. Simperina makes another assignation with old Curvetto, but when he tries to attract her attention he is doused with water. Lazarillo is equally unlucky in his date: he falls through a trapdoor. Curvetto returns and is climbing up a rope ladder let down by Frisco when his foot slips; Frisco accuses him of trying to burgle the house, and he is arrested by Blurt. Lazarillo climbs out and he too is doused, with urine, and then arrested by Blurt. Curvetto refuses to 1601 marry Imperia to escape the death penalty, but the Duke pardons him and Lazarillo anyway, and agrees to pay the money the latter owes Blurt.
