Go to, hears a glass. Stand your backs North, and stir not till I bid you; What see you there? Look again, and mark, stand yet more North.

Happiness wait on your egregious Lordship, my phy sick Shall make your body soluble, but for working on your spirit, believe it when you find it; with any lies we must set forth siour'mples and compositions to utter them: so this is a good days work; lean chaps lay up, and because you have performed hamsomly, there is some silver for you, lay up my properties: 'Tis night already, thus we knaves will thrive, when honest plainness know not how to live.
Plot summary
Plot — The Maid's Revenge
PLOT Sebastiano hopes that his friend Antonio will marry one of his sisters, and introduces him to the family, even though the girls both have suitors already. Antonio falls for Berinthia, but her father, Vilarezo, will not allow her to marry until the elder daughter, Catalina, is wed. Catalina herself becomes enamoured of Antonio, which makes her jealous of her sister and annoys her suitor, Montenegro. After Antonio is called away, Catalina plots to frustrate his wooing: she persuades Valasco, Berinthia’s other suitor, to damn her reputation by claiming that Berinthia has promised to marry him; Vilarezo responds by ordering Berinthia’s confinement in Catalina’s custody. Antonio writes to Berinthia, but the letter falls into Catalina’s hands. Catalina proposes that Valasco should force the issue by kidnapping Berinthia; but her real plan is for him to take the blame for Berinthia’s death by poison. Antonio’s servant overhears the plot and warns his master. Antonio comes to rescue Berinthia, and is admitted by Catalina’s chambermaid, who takes him for Valasco; together they escape to Antonio’s castle. Upon realizing that Antonio is his daughter’s abductor, Vilarezo sends Sebastiano to take reprisals. Though told the truth and treated honourably, he feels obliged to fight a duel with Antonio, and wins: Antonio is killed and Berinthia brought home. Antonio’s sister Castabella, who has fallen in love with Sebastiano despite her brother’s death, follows him disguised as a page. Montenegro asks Catalina’s chambermaid to give her a love philtre, but Berinthia overhears the conversation and substitutes a poison; Catalina dies in agony. To avenge Antonio, Berinthia stabs Sebastiano in his sleep, then kills herself. Castabella enters a religious house.
