My Lord, I think she's free from reason too, For did that govern her, she could not thus neglect Her happiness: or rather she may yet suspect, your Lordship Does not mean what you profess; and from that fear Seems coy, till she be more assured. My Lord, you make and Idol of a peevish Girl, Who hath indeed no worth but what you please To give her in your opinion. Daughter, I charge you on my blessing, When the Duke returns to use him with respect. Before you partly, when he comes back, I pray you urge my restoration, But first promise to marry him. Come my Lord, we will draw near, I see their parley's at and end. My Lord, believe me, he hath spoke my thoughts. But that your Grace does tell it, I should not think a woman could do this. My Lord, I hope it will not be long Before this ceremony of parting will be quite lost, And that you will not be so far asunder. Why is your Majesty offended with your Vassal, Who as yet never so much as in a thought offended you. Sir, let me perish it I knew it, I am amazed to hear it now. Exeunt. Sir, there is a Hermit, Which hath brought sad news. Sir, to your Majesty he only will relate That which he hath to say, and yet by the sadness Of his countenance, know his news is ill. I see the King did dearly love him, He weeps. My Lord, I have the full possession; But she does utterly refuse them. How black and sorrowful this day looks! This day, in which Lysander is to suffer: Noble Lysander, to whom my Child and I Are so much bound; and yet he is the cause Of both our ruins; or rather I am cause: It was my ambition to have a Duke My Son in Law: no, it was my Clarinda's Beauty bred all this mischief, and it was The Heavens that gave Beauty to her: Why did they then not bless that gift in her, But turn it to her curse? Peace wretched man And argue not with those high powers, But wait their pleasure, and pray for their assistance, Who can yet change this Scoene of blood into— A Scoene of joy, and back return thee thy Clarinda. Sir, I do grieve, My Daughters love unto Lysander, should Move her for to seek a most unjust revenge Against good Giacomo, whose Like for honesty I know not in this Kingdom of his quality. My deer friend! welcome. Enter Giacomo. My Lord, if you'll be pleased to grace my house This day she either shall requite your sufferings, Oh I will deny her for a child of mine. You know it is bootless, The King is so incensed, in begging mercy For Lysander, you may prove cruel to your self, And unto me your Father. How! Oh daughter, let not your passionate love Unto Lysander, make you accuse good Giacomo.
Plot summary
Plot — The Deserving Favorite
Before the start of the action, Utrante and Orsinio were suspected of poisoning a member of the royal family: Orsinio was banished and, for a time, Utrante imprisoned, his lands confiscated. Nevertheless Orsinio's son, Lysander, has prospered: the Duke saved his life after a hunting accident, took him into favour, and intervened to secure his estate when his uncle mounted a legal claim against him. He has become secretly betrothed to Utrante's daughter, Clarinda; but now the Duke has fallen in love with her too. Lysander feels he must stand aside in his patron's favour, not only because of his personal obligations to the Duke but also because he knows that, if balked, the Duke could make life difficult, or short, for Clarinda's father. Clarinda, however, will not accept Lysander's withdrawal or the Duke's suit. Not knowing of her prior engagement, Utrante pressurizes her, and she asks to postpone the decision for a month, intending to force a fait accompli by marrying Lysander in the interim. Jacomo discovers the secret romance and arranges for the Duke to witness an assignation between the lovers. He offers to murder Lysander, against whom he has a grudge, but the Duke refuses, preferring the honourable option: a duel. The rivals fight in the forest; both are wounded, but the Duke gets the worst of it. They are found by the Princess, Cleonarda, who takes Lysander back to her hunting lodge, leaving the Duke's body for later collection. It has gone when her servants come back for it. Meanwhile the King receives a letter from the Duke, which was to be delivered in the event of his death, in which he names Clarinda as his heir and asks forgiveness for his killer. The King ignores the request and swears that Lysander will be swiftly executed when caught. A forest hermit arrives with news of the Duke's death: his body was stolen by pirates and disposed of at sea. Cleonarda falls in love with Lysander, but accepts that Clarinda has a prior claim on him, and tells her that he is hiding out at the hunting lodge. Clarinda plans to go there disguised as a boy, and asks Jacomo to escort her, but on the way he attempts to rape her. She is saved by the intervention of the Duke, who is still alive and staying at the hermit's cottage; not knowing her gender, he spends the night there with her. Meanwhile Jacomo fetches the King, who besieges the hunting lodge and arrests Lysander. Jacomo is rewarded with a grant of lands. The day of Lysander's execution arrives. Clarinda…
