Me thinks if Beech himself be innocent, That then the murderer should not dwell far off, TO e hammer that is sticking in his head, Was borrowed of a Cutler dwelling by, But he remembers not, who borrowed it: He is committed that did owe the hammer, But yet he stands upon his innocence, And Beeches absence causeth great suspicion. Devils seem Saints, and in this hateful times, Deceit can bear apparraunt signs of truth, And vice bear show of virtues excellence. What have you head, and hose, and shoes to show, And want the body that should use the same. Thanks my good friends, ther's some thing for your pains, Farewell good fellows, neighbour now be bold, They dwell not far that did this bloody deed, As God no boubt will at the last reveal: Though they conceal it never so cunningly, All houses, gutters, Sinks and crevices, Have carefully been sought for, for the blood. Yet theres no instance found in any place. But who is that, that brings a heavy load, Behind him on a painful porters back. Behold the mighty miracles of God, That senseless things should propagate their sin, That are more bestial far then beastliness, Of any creature most insensible. 'Tis very likely, let no pains be spared, To bring it out, if it be possible, It pity such a murder should remain Unpunished, amongst Turks and Infidels. I pray you do it, we will tarry here: Exit 1. neigh. And let the eyes of every passenger Be satisfied, which may example be, How they commit so dreadful wickedness. How now fair maid, dwells any here but you? Thou hast too true a face for such a deed. This will not serve, we cannot find her out, Bring in those bodies, it grows towards night, God bring these damned murderers at length to light. This is the place, what would you with the man? They all agree, but yet they cannot make, That found and whole, which a remorseless hand Hath severed with a knife of cruelty: But ay good sir, where did you find this out? 'Tis very strange, that having many wounds, So terrible, so ghastly, which is more, Having the hammer sticking in his head, That he should live and stir from Friday night, To Sunday morning, and even then depart, When that his Masters mangled course were found, Bring him forth too, perchance the murderers May have their hearts touched with endue remorse, Viewing their deeds of damned wickedness. Nor where she dwells. Go round about to every neighbours house, And will them show their maids immediately: God grant we may find out the murderers. Bring forth such maids as are within your house. Is this the maid. Come out maid. Whose house is this? This is not she?
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.
