Full speech
Why then belike you mean to do your charge And feel no taste of pity in your heart. Such charity will never have reward, Unless it be with sting of conscience: And that's a torment worse then Sisipus, That rolls a restless stone against the hill. That shows thee further off from hoped grace. Then God forbid I should consort my self, With one so far from grace and piety: Least being found within thy company, I should be partner of thy punishment. That thou shalt see my heart is far from fraud, Or vain illusion in this enterprise, Which does import the safety of our souls, There take my earnest of impiety. Give him his money. Only forbear to lay thy uder hands, Upon the poor mistrustless tender child, As for our vows, fear not their violence, God will forgive on hearty penitence. Thou shalt not make his little finger ache. A treacherous villain, full of cowardice, I'll make thee know that thou hast done amiss. O God forgive me all my wickedness, And take me to eternal happiness. Oh be not blinded with a false urmise, For least my tongue should fail to end the all . Of our untimely f e appointed death: Know young Allenso is as innocent, As is Faller guilty of the crime. He, he it was, that with four hundredth marks, Whereof two hundred he paid presently, Did hire this damned villain and my self, To massacre this harmless innocent: But yet my conscience touched with some remorse, Would feign have saved the young P rtillos life, But he remorseless would not let him live, But unawares thrust in his harmless breast, That life bereaving fatal instrument: Which cruel deed I seeking to revenge, Have lost my life, and paid the slave his endue Reward, for spilling blood of Innocents: Surprise Fallerio author of this ill, Save young Allenso, he is guiltless still. Dyeth. But by that God, which made that wondrous globe, Wherein is seen his powerful diety, Thou shalt not kill him maugre all thy spite: Swear, and forswear thy self ten thousand times, Awake Pertillo, for thou art betrayed, This bloody slave intends to murder thee. Draw both. No child, thy wicked Uncle hath suborned, Both him and me to take thy life away: Which I would save, but that this hellish imp, Will not consent to spare thy guiltless blood. The lands and goods, thy father left his son, Do hale thee on to thy destruction. Enough, enough, I had my death before. Those lands and goods, thy father God with pain, Are swords where with his little son is slain. Fear not sweet child, he shall not murder thee.
Plot summary
Plot — Two Lamentable Tragedies
MOmicide is frustrated at finding the town so virtuous, but AWaige recommends two men as suitable agents of violence. [Filth overhears them and introduces the stories. In one plot, MRGM@SIMERY, who would like to be richer, notices how well off B&BGh is. He lures Beech to his inn and murders him there with a hammer. The other members of his household quickly discover what has happened; his man MWilli@fhs leaves his service rather than condone the crime, but nevertheless agrees to keep it a secret. Merry is concerned that BEGeh’sIBSy may know too much, and murders him too. Thinking there are thieves in Beech’s shop, a Maid gives the alarm, and the dying boy is found with the hammer still embedded in his head. Beech comes under suspicion. Merry wants to get the other body out of his inn before it starts to putrefy, and chops it up to facilitate disposal. The various parts of the body are found around London; the torso is in an identifiable sack, but when a house-to-house search is instigated, its vendor fails to recognize M@PySisister as the woman who bought it. Merry begins to feel secure, but the melancholy Williams finally reveals the secret after close questioning by a friend. Merry and his sister are arrested and hanged; Williams is allowed benefit of clergy. In the other plot, ——- —f% die, leaving him in the custody of his uncle, , who will inherit everything should the boy die. Fallerio plans murder, but when his son All@H8o will not co-operate, he hires two ruffans instead. The assassins are to escort Pertillo to university at Padua, and kill him on the way; Allenso follows in secret to see that his cousin is safe. In the event one of the ruffians proves to have a conscience, and tries unsuccessfully to buy off his colleague. Perfillo dies, and the two murderers then kill one another. The bodies are found by the Dike, and Allenso is arrested; the virtuous rufhan survives just long enough to exonerate him and name Fallerio as the guilty man. Allenso brings home the news of Pertillo’s murder, which causes his mother to drop dead. Suicidally guilt-stricken, Allenso disguises himself as his father in order to be executed in his place. He is convicted, but Fallerio follows him to court and admits the truth. Both father and son are sentenced to death. Truth insists that Homicide and Avarice will never get away with their crimes in Eliza’s realm, but they leave the stage threatening more covetousness and murder to come.
