My deer Cosmo: You have been too much absent I must chide you You will make me angry. D'ee fear it? I'st a misfortune? My love Not where the objects good. What mean you? I affect none but my Cosmo, Nor him with too much flame. To love another? So we should be inconstant. What? Have you a suspicion I am changed, and thus Would school me for it, or shall I imagine That you are altered. What riddle's this. You have a pretty humour. I do know him. 'Tis very likely you would resign then. Why it shall be so. Why sir I do love him. Why sir, did you ever think I was so taken with your worth, and person, I could not love another Lord as well? By your favour, there be many as proper men, And as deserving, you may save your plea, And be assured I needs no lesson to Direct my fancy, I did love Pisano, Before, but for your sake, I mean to place him, A great deal nearer, sure he does but jest. You did love me. Pray tell me: But truly I beseech you, do you wish Pisano mine indeed? are you jealous, And name him to accuse me? Unkind, And cruel Cosmo, dost thou think it possible, I can love any but thy self? thou wilt Undo my heart for ever. Yowl not compel affection? I've herd too much, do with me what you please I am all passive, nothing of my self, But and obedience to unhappiness. Something spoke to me from that window. Nothing now. Good Heaven J would it were, my heart can tell, J take No joy in being his bride, none in your prayers, You shall have my consent to have him still: J will resign my place, and wait on you, Jf you will marry him. Dear Amidea, do not think J mock Your sorrow; by these tears that are not worn By every Virgin on her wedding day; J am compelled to give away my self: Your hearts were promised, but he never had mine: Am not J wretched too? Why were you so unkind to call me from A pleasing slumber? Death has a fine dwelling.
Plot summary
Plot — The Traitor
PLOT Lorenzo plots against both the Duke and his political rivals. He induces Pisano to jilt his fiancée Amidea and transfer his affections to the wealthy Oriana, who loves Cosmo; this will block Cosmo’s political ascent by denying him Oriana’s money. Cosmo, motivated by male friendship, agrees to give up his girlfriend. The Duke is warned against Lorenzo, but when he publicly confronts Lorenzo with the letter of denunciation, the traitor argues plausibly that it is a malicious libel. The sexually undisciplined Duke is attracted to Amidea, and Lorenzo arranges an assignation for him, but also inflames her brother Sciarrha with a desire for revenge: the liaison is to be the occasion for the Duke’s assassination. When he comes to Sciarrha’s, the Duke is shown a moral masque rebuking royal lust, but he is so busy chatting up Amidea that he doesn’t watch the entertainment. He visits Amidea in her bedroom, but she keeps him off by threatening suicide, and he returns to his senses. Sciarrha is satisfied: he denounces Lorenzo to the Duke, but when Lorenzo is told that the assassination has taken place, with the Duke eavesdropping, the traitor disclaims all knowledge and again re-establishes his good faith. De Pazzi, Lorenzo’s ally, worries that his part in the treason will lead to his execution, and asks to be excused from further complicity; he gets his wish to leave court when the Duke banishes him. Oriana’s mother, believing Cosmo is a poor match while his enemy Lorenzo is in the ascendant, forces her to marry Pisano; but Sciarrha kills the bridegroom on the way to the ceremony, to avenge his treatment of Amidea. Having persuaded the Duke to make another attempt on Amidea’s chastity, Lorenzo tries to enlist Sciarrha’s help by promising a pardon for Pisano’s murder. Sciarrha makes the proposition, but when Amidea consents to save his life, he saves her honour by killing her. Meanwhile Lorenzo recruits a new accomplice in Petruccio, and practises stabbing the Duke’s portrait. The Duke’s assignation with Amidea goes ahead, but he finds himself in bed with her corpse. Lorenzo and Petruccio assassinate him, but Lorenzo is killed by Sciarrha, who dies himself in the fight. Cosmo, the next in blood, becomes Duke.
