Could you not spare me money for mine hostess, where you put me to board? you're a whole fortnight ar r rages. Faith Sir, she has chaulk't up twenty shillings all ready, and swears she will chaulke no more. Alas Sir, I think you're able, but the world does not know it. I hope he will foist some money for my score, out of this gull here. Exit. In truth sir I herd no body. I have look't about all the house for my Mistress sir, but I cannot find her. My Mistress in men apparel sayest thou? Would to heaven I had seen her, canst tell whither she went. It's very well, she trims my Captain prettily, in the mean time his head pays for all, and yet alas poor hornestocke, he thinks her to have no fault, but her too much dotage upon him, well my conscience will not let me keep her counsel, he shall know on't. No, nor if he had seen it with his own own eyes I think, I shall never forget how the profound Cockatrice hung on his sleeve to day, and he shoude not from her sighed, shee'd follow him into the wars, one day should make and end of both their loves and lives, and then to see him the wittal, my Captain began to stroote, and batle the pride of his merits that so height ned her affection. Well, it'll not be for any man to follow him, if this were known once. Well, and I were worthy to give him counsel, he should e'ne fair and well hang himself. A plague of her labour, the Captains brows sweat while she labours. That dare not I do, but as often as he turns his back to me, I shall be here V with him thats certain: or when I fol low him and his cheating stock Innocentio, in the streets, I shall imagine still I am driving and Ox and and Ass before me, and cry phtroh, ho ptrough. In health sir I trust. What afore my Captain sir: you shall pardon me. At a poor woman's labour sir.
Plot summary
Plot — May Day
It is May morning. In accordance with the season, old Lorenzo is planning an amorous, adulterous adventure with Francischina, and approaches her kinsman Angelo to act as go-between. Francischina’s husband too is going out with his gull, Innocentio, who is to observe gentlemanly behaviour at an ordinary. Lodovico makes doubly sure of his absence by introducing him to an admirer, Giovanelli, and they go to a tavern together. He is implicated in a second plot which in turn requires Lorenzo to be away from his home: Lorenzo’s daughter Aemilia, whom he plans to marry against her will to Gasparo, loves Aurelio, and Lodovico has promised to bring him to her at the house’s rear terrace. Meanwhile, Leonoro conspires with Temperance to win the love of Lucretia, Aurelio’s cousin. Nothing goes entirely according to plan. Lorenzo comes to Francischina disguised as a chimney-sweep, so that he can enter the house without risk to her honour, but Lodovico lets his friends in on the secret and they tease him on the way; later Angelo pretends to be Quintiliano coming home early, and frightens Lorenzo into hiding. Aurelio’s assignation with Aemilia turns out to involve more than talking when Lodovico provides a rope ladder and he climbs up onto the terrace, which gives access to her bedroom. Lodovico waits below, muffled in his cloak, and Temperance mistakes him for Leonoro; she invites him in just as the real Leonoro arrives and is taken to Lucretia’s chamber. When he gets into bed with her, however, the liaison ends with fighting when he discovers ‘her’ to be a cross- dressed man. Meanwhile Quintiliano cozens Giovanelli of his money and then returns home drunk to find Lorenzo, still disguised, hiding in his coal-house. Lorenzo goes home in turn and discovers Aurelio and Aemilia together; Angelo helps Aurelio escape while Lorenzo is changing out of his disguise before fetching the Provost to administer justice, then substitutes Francischina in Aurelio’s clothes so that Lorenzo will infer that he misunderstood an innocent jest. Everyone goes to the May night show at Honorio’s house, which includes a masque. Leonoro and Quintiliano have the page Lionel cross-dress as a woman with a view to tricking Innocentio into chatting her up. Leonoro confronts Lodovico over his liaison with ‘Lucretia’, and he explains what happened. In fact ‘she’ is really Lucretio, whose father was a Sicilian exile and close friend of Aurelio’s family. ‘Lionel’ turns out to be Lucretio’s fiancée…
