Full speech
Duchess it is your youngest son, we're sorry, His violent Act has even drawn blood of honour And stained ou honours, Thrown ink upon the forehead of our state Which envious spirits will dip their pens into After our death; and blot us in our Tombs. For that which would seem treason in our lives Is laughter when we're dead, who dares now whisper That dares not then speak out, and even proclaim, With loud words and broad pens our closest shame. We will defer the judgement till next sitting, In the mean time let him be kept close prisoner: Guard bear him hence. About it then my Lords with your best powers, More serious business calls upon our homes. Nay villain traitor, Worse then the foulest Epithet, now I'll gripe thee Ee'n with the Nerves of wrath, and throw thy head Amongst the Lawyers guard. This boy that should be my self after me, Would be my self before me, and in heat Of that ambition bloodily rushed in Intending to depose me in my bed? Bear him hence. Excuse? to prison with the Villain, Death shall not long lag after him. Is't possible a son should be disobedient as far as the sword: it is the highest he can go no farther. Pity boys? Honey, how's this? Here's no Step-mothers-wit, I'll try they both upon their love and hate. You have prevailed, My wrath Like flaming wax hath spent it self, I know 'twas but some peevish Moon in him: go, let him be released. Why go, release him. 'Tis true too; here then, receive this signet, doom shall pass, Direct it to the Judges, he shall die Ere many days, make hast. Here's Envy with a poor thin cover or't, Like Scarlet hid in lawn, easily spied through, This their ambition by the Mother's side, Is dangerous, and for safety must be purged, I will prevent their envies, sure it was But some mistaken fury in our son, Which these aspiring boys would climb upon: He shall be released suddenly. Welcome my Lords. O. My teeth are eaten out. O? O! Millions of death's. Is there a hell beside this, villains? O, kill me not with that sighed. Traitors, murderers? Treason, murder? They do, we're sorry for't, it is our fate, To live in fear and die to live in hate, I leave him to your sentence dome him Lords The fact is great; while I fit by and sighs. Hold, hold, my Lord. You upper Guard defend us. O take me not in sleep, I have great sins, I must have days, Nay months deer son, with penitential heaves, To lift they out, and not to die unclear, Oh thou wilt kill me both in heaven and here. Be comforted our Duchess, he shall die. But my hand shall never doot. How seriously their loves and honours woo For that, which I am about to pray them do Which, rise my Lords, your knees sign his release, We freely pardon him. It well becomes that Judge to nod at crimes, That dos commit greater himself and lives: I may forgive a disobedient error, That expect pardon for adultery And in my old days am a youth in lust: Many a beauty have I turned to poison In the denial, covetous of all, Age hight, is Like a Monster to be seen: My hairs are white, and yet my sins are Green. You shall have leave to leave us, with this charge, Upon your lives, if we be missed by'th Duchess Or any of the Nobles, to give out, We're privately rid forth. Piato, well done hast brought her, what Ladyist? I love that best, conduct her. In gravest looks the Greatest faults seem less Give me that sin thats robbed in Holiness. How sweet can a Duke breath? age has no fault, Pleasure should meet in a perfumed missed, Lady sweetly encountered, I came from Court I must be bold with you, o, what's this, o! O, tas poisoned me. What are you two? O Hippolito? call treason. Then I'm betrayed. Oh my tongue. Is it thou villain, nay then— I cannot brook— With some few honourable gentlemen you may say, You may name those that are away from Court.
Plot summary
Plot — The Revenger's Tragedy
Nine years ago, the DUKE poisoned Gl@fiana when she refused to submit to his sexual advances; Windies has preserved her skull. HippOlit6 is given the task of recruiting a pander for the Duke’s son [iisstinioso, and brings Mimdiee, his brother, to court in disguise. The object of seduction turns out to be their sister, @AStiZa. Vindice undertakes the task, incognito as the pander (Piato’; he is delighted at Castiza’s outraged rejection, but less pleased at their mother’s venal readiness to countenance a liaison between her daughter and the heir apparent. ‘Piato’ reports this limited success back to Lussurioso. The Prince changes his initial plans to visit Castiza that night when he learns of a chance to catch his bastard brother Spud in bed with the DweHessl However, Spurio has changed his plans too, in the expectation of catching Lussurioso in the act of raping Castiza; so when Lussurioso bursts in on the Duchess with his sword drawn, it is the Duke who is with her, and he is arrested. Two of the Duchess’s sons plead insincerely for their stepbrother’s release, and put their pleas into reverse when the Duke, recognizing their malice, agrees to pardon him. Finally, without their knowledge, he sends order for Lussurioso to be freed. Meanwhile, the Duchess’s younger son, Jaimi6r has raped Ammtonio'siwifé at a recent court masque. He is tried and convicted for the crime, but the Duke defers sentencing until a later date. The victim poisons herself in shame; and a group of lords, including Hippolito, decide to take the law into their own hands should the Duke grant a reprieve. AlbiHOS6 and Sipenvaeuo use the Duke’s signet to order Lussurioso’s immediate execution, not knowing that he has already been released; in consequence it is Jiii6r who is beheaded. His brothers receive the severed head and are busy congratulating themselves on their stratagem when [bussurioss arrives, with his head still on. The Duke engages ‘Piato’ to get him a girl in secret. Waimedice arranges the assignation at a place where the Duchess and Spurid have agreed to meet. The ‘lady’ is also not what the Duke expects: Gléfianasiskull The Duke kisses the skull and is poisoned by it; the last thing he sees is the Duchess and Spurio together. Later, the brothers violently force their mother to repent; (Castiza then tests her by pretending to agree to sex with Lussurioso. Dissatisfied with ‘Piato’, IGSSii0sS6 asks Hippolito to bring his brother Vindice to court as a replacement; his first…
