Who was it Rachell that went up the stairs? Why do you not then carry up a light, But suffer them to tarry in the dark. Do so I prithee, he will chide anon. Exit. If I am heavy, if I often sighs, And if my eyes bear records of my woe, Condemn me not, for I have mighty cause, More then I will impart to any one. Good master Cowley you were ever kind, But pardon me, I will not utter it, To any one, for I have passed my word, And therefore urge me not to tell my grief. My cause of grief is now remediless, And all the world can never lessen it, Then since no means can make my sorrows less, Suffer me wail a woe which wants redress. Nay, if you are so curious to intrude, Your self to sorrow, where you have no share, I will frequent some unfrequented place, Where none shall here nor see my lamentations. Who roves all day, at length may hit the mark, That is the cause, because I cannot stay, With him whose love, is dearer then my life. We fell not out, but fear hath parted us. No, no, your unde standing is but dim, That far removed, cannot judge the fear, We both were fearful, and we both did partly, Because indeed we both were timorous. That which my heart hath promised to conceal. 'Tis vain to urge me from this silent vain, I will conceal it, though it breed my pain. Were I assured my heart should have release, Of secret torment, and distemperature, I would reveal it to you specially, Whom I have found my faithful favourite. What have you herd of Beech of Lambert hill? And of his boy which late were murdered. But have you herd of them that murdered them? This I misdoubted, therefore will forbear, To utter what I thought to have revealed. My master unawares escaped my mouth, But what the Lord does please shall come to light, Cannot be hid by human policy: His hapless hand hath wrought the fatal end, Of Rob rt Beech and Thomas Winchester. If I offended, 'twas my Masters love, That made me hide his great transgressions: But I will be directed as you please, So save me God, as I am innocent. Exeunt. What? shall I then betray my masters life? Nor knew not of it, till the deed was done.
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.
