He's but a stranger here of some four days standing; and we never set eye on him, but at setting the watch. A friend. I blame him not: the law's see vere (though joust and can not be dispensed.) So we may chide the fire for burning us; or say the Bee's not good because she stings; 'Tis not the body the law respects, but the soldiers neglect; when the watch (the guard and safety of the City) is left abandoned to all hazards. But let him go; and tell me if your news sort with mine, for Lycus ; apprehended they say, about Lysander's murder. Oh world, if this be true; his dearest friend, his bed compa nion, whom of all his friends he culled out for his bosom! Oh that jade falsehood is never found of all; but halts of one leg still. Truth pace is all upright; found every where. And Like a die, sets ever on a square. And how is Lycus his bearing in this condition? I care not if I do, to view heavens power in this vnbottomd seller. Blood, though it sleep a time, yet never die. The Gods on murderers fix revengeful eyes. Exeunt Lysander solus with a crow of iron, and a halter which he lays down and puts on his disguise again. COme my borrowed disguise, let me once more Be reconciled to thee, my trustiest friend; Thou that in truest shape hast let me see That which my truer self hath hid from me, Help me to take revenge on a disguise, Ten times more false and counterfeit then thou. Thou, false in show, hast been most true to me; The seeming true; hath proved more false then her. Assist me to behold this act of lust, Note with a Scene of strange impiety. Her husbands murdered corpse! Oh more then horror! I'll not beleeue't untried; If she but lift A hand to act it; by the fates her brains fly out, Since she has madded me; let her beware my horns. For though by goring her, no hope be shown To cure my self, yet I'll not bleed alone. He knocks. Come convey him to the Lord Governor, First afore the Captain Sir. Have the heavens nought else to do, but to stand still, and turn all their malignant Aspects upon one man? Captain here's the Sentinel we sought for; he's some new pressed Soldier, for none of us know him.
Plot summary
Plot — The Widow's Tears
Renouncing Fortune and devoting himself instead to the goddess Confidence, Tharsalio intends to woo the widowed Countess Eudora. His wooing technique is grossly sexual, and he also quarrels with a rival, Rebus. Rebuffed and mocked by his family, he seeks out Arsace and bribes her to advise Eudora not to marry him, but when he returns to her and throws out Rebus, he is rejected a second time. Finally, however, she accepts him, and their wedding is marked by a masque. ===== PAGE 180 ===== Lysander is concerned about his wife Cynthia’s constancy, and plans to test it by faking his own death: with the help of Lycus he undertakes a journey and sends back a report that he has been murdered by mountain bandits. His body is interred in the family monument; Cynthia and her waiting-woman go to live in the tomb in order to be near him. Lysander returns incognito, disguised as a soldier assigned as the sentinel of the cemetery. He successfully seduces Cynthia, but she insists that their liaison be conducted privately to avoid compromising her reputation. Tharsalio sees them kissing inside the tomb and takes revenge on the ‘sentinel’ by stealing one of the crucified bodies he is supposed to be watching. When this is discovered, Cynthia suggests disinterring Lysander’s body and substituting it for the stolen one. Lysander goes to fetch a crowbar, removes his disguise, and meets Tharsalio, who deduces what is happening and informs Cynthia. She is thus able to pretend that she knew who the ‘sentinel’ was all along. Lycus is arrested for Lysander’s murder, and the tomb is opened to test whether his presence will make the corpse’s wounds bleed; but the coffin proves to be empty, and the ‘sentinel’ is found hiding in the tomb. Both men are sent for trial by the Governor, recently appointed with a hard-line law-and-order policy. Eudora intervenes to explain the truth, and Lycus is released; after Tharsalio replaces the stolen body, so is Lysander. Tharsalio allows him to believe that Cynthia was never tempted to infidelity.
