I'll warrant you. Oh they are proud in that they rescued you, And my blood of honour; since you are pleased To grace the now declining Trade of Tailors, By being shrouded in their homely clothes, And deck a Shopboard with your noble person; The taunting scorns, the foul mouthed World, can throw upon our needful Calling Shall be answered: They injure honour, since your honour is a Noble practitioner in our Mystery. Come, come my Lord leave melancholy To hired slaves, that murder at a price: Yours was— You are too strict a convertite, let's in. Exit. My servant banished. Leave your discovery. My brain is busy, Sebastiano must not tread and unknown Land To find out a Grave; unfortunate Sebastiano, First to loose thy self in a disguise, unfitting for thy Birth, and then thy Country for thy too much valour: There's danger in being virtuous, in this Age Led by those sinful Actors, the plunged stage, Of this vice-bearing World, would headlong fallen But charitable virtue bears up all. I must invent, I have't, so: As he's a Tailor; he is banished Spain, As Sebastiano it's revoked again. Exit cum suis. Come, come let's work; For if my guesses point the right, we sha'nt Work long. Come let's have a device, a thing, a song Boy Now my Master's are we to do; d'e mark me, do— Well play; we are to play a play. Well, act a Play before the King. What say you to our Spanish Bilbo? I. But shall we act him? Who shall act the Ghost. Very fine: but who shall act Horatio ? Who shall act Prince Belthazer and the King? Lets go seek our fellows, and to this gear. It's a merry life we live, All our work is brought unto us; Still are getting, never give; For their Clothes all men do woe us: Yet unkind they blast our Names, With aspersions of dishonour: For which we make bold with their Dams, When we take our measure on her. Thou dost not look Like a Ghost.
Plot summary
Plot — The Rebellion
Machvile envies Antonio his popularity and also covets the crown. When the French, under Raymond the Moor, lay siege to Seville, Machvile engineers Antonio’s downfall at a council of war: he speaks for a military strategy, Antonio responds with a proposal to make peace, and the city’s Governor accuses Antonio of treason and cowardice; this provokes Antonio into killing the Governor. Antonio flees to his home, where he is appalled to find his sister Evadne kissing the tailor Giovanno. Before he can do more than protest, he is arrested by Machvile, who has succeeded to the governorship; but Giovanno and other tailors rescue him and he goes into hiding among them. Despite Giovanno’s help, Antonio is unable to sanction his love for Evadne, being bound by a deathbed promise to his father only to allow her to marry a nobleman. Machvile’s aggressive strategy is put into effect: the Spanish break out of their besieged city and defeat the French; Giovanno captures Raymond, but Machvile takes charge of the prisoner and banishes the heroic tailor. Planning to seize the Spanish throne, he proposes an alliance with Raymond to divide the country between them, planning all the while to kill the Moor once his object is achieved. Meanwhile the captive Raymond looks for a way to communicate with France and ask for additional troops. Antonio is told in a dream to flee, but is found, arrested, and sentenced to be ground to death in a mill. Aurelia, daughter of the captain of the mill, falls in love with him at first sight, asks for the privilege of execution herself, and helps him to escape in disguise. Evadne is banished, but Giovanno meets her and rescues her from rape at the hands of bandits. Antonio finds them together, but Aurelia, fleeing with him, identifies Giovanno as her brother Sebastiano: he has adopted the guise of a tailor in order to woo Evadne. The King comes to Seville incognito and stays with an old tailor, Giovanno’s employer, who has overheard Machvile’s plotting. Antonio and Sebastiano get confirmation in disguise, Antonio as a physician attending Machvile’s wife and Sebastiano as a French cobbler whom Raymond engages as a messenger to the court of France, giving him his ring for authentication (which Sebastiano uses to dismiss the remaining French troops). The grateful King pardons Antonio and agrees to his marrying Aurelia. The plan is to give Machvile enough rope to hang himself. The King witnesses, in hiding, a meeting at which the army colonels,…
