Full speech
Who would have thought of all the men alive, That Thomas Merry would have done this deed: So full of ruth and monstrous wickedness. This is the house, come let us knock at door, I see a light they are not all in bed: How now fair maid, is your brother up? You do but lest, I know he is within, And I must needs go up and speak with him. Well sister, I am sorry for your sake, But for your brother, he is known to be A damned villain and and hypocrite, Rachell, I charge thee in her highness name, To go with us to prison presently. You know that best, but every one do know, You and your brother murdered master Be changed, And his poor boy that dwelled at Lambert hill. That must be tried, where does your brother lie? Now master Merry, are you in a sweat. Some sudden fear affrights you, whats the cause? In the Queens name I do command you rise, And presently to go along with us. Riseth up. We partly do, when saw you master Beech ? Not Beech the chandler upon Lambert hill. I would you had not, for your sisters sake, For yours, for his, and for his harmless boy, Be not obdurate in your wickedness, Confession draws repentance after it. Your man is fast in hold, and hath confessed, The manner how, and where, the deed was done: Therefore it vain to colour any thing, Bring them away.
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.
