HEll take their spacious throats, we shall ever long Be pointed as a prodige; Antonio is the man they load with praise, And west and as a Cypher to advance Him by a number higher Dares he do this? Never more need, my worthy partners, in The dangerous brunts of Iron war, had we Of counsel: the hight rained French, led by that Haughty More, (upon whose sword sits Victory inthroned) daily increase; And Like the Army of another Xerxes, Make the over burdened earth groan at their weight. We cannot long hold out; nor have we hope Our Royal Master can raise up their Siege Ever we beforc't to yield: My Lord your counsel it's a desperate grief. Hum, hum. Good, But to the matter; Your counsel. Machvile speaks Oracle; What says Antonio? How? Speak, Antonio your counsel. How? Antonio you're too bold; this usurped liberty To abuse a man of so much merit, is not Seemly in you: nay I'll term it sauciness. Antonio, you're too long and wrack our patience; Your counsel? Antonio let me tell you, you have lost Your valiant heart; I can with safety now Term you a Coward. Nay more, Since by your Oratory, you strive To rob your Country of a glorious conquest; That may to after times beget a fear, Even with the thought should awe the trembling World: you are a Traitor. Antonio your counsel. Oh are you moved sir, has the deserved name Of Traitor pricked you? Yes.
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,…
