Franciscus: son! Signior Arbaces you are the man I wished for. Cornelia. No, 'tis no matter. Tomaso you shall do't, Go see nothing want; you are all my guests, you dine with Me that's certain: Nay, I will not be denied: Most welcome Sir to you: will you walk? Run to all brief confusion. Even in the pride, and noon time of his Fortune's, brought to destruction thus: a milder, better tempered Gen tleman, Venice nor Europe yielded; his knowledge made me proud, and I was rich in his adoption. My son, my son, so noble, valiant, wise, dearer to me then him I call mine own by true succession, do you weep? Not you offend? look here, This letter left he as a testimony, Who is there here amongst all this company, That knew Franciscus, knew not he affected, And highly prized the slave Antonio? What could have raised such deadly enmity? But this, but this, thou strumpet, Between such twinlike friends? Thy misdemeanour, thy approved falseness; Which too, too well he knew Thou hast und one him, Fled he is and gone; His goods already seized are for the State: And die he shall if ever he be took, O, fie upon thee my perpetual shame! Thou art not mine, I here deny thy claim, And warn thee henceforth, Come not near my roof: Pine, starve and die, relief and comfort Never more expect from him that was thy father. I must weep, to deem I should be forced to be so cruel; More I have to say, if tears would let me; (Me thinks) I could both kiss and curse her: If she be wronged, and through some make-strife, These foul ills prove a greater plague, Then fell in Egypt, light on the Authors head, The maws of Dogs be his Tomb: Help me to curse him Julio. Disgrace, contagion, and what can be worse, Smite thee and all thy tribe. Answer thine own words; Where's mine Arbaces? Sorrow gripe my heart till it be blood less, But what thou speakest is false: A more slanderous lie never left the lips of any. Tell not me, I'll prove it on him, Arbaces, boy— Not meet him. Give me leave. Meet thee, yes I will meet thee; I dare meet a man: Arbaces thou shalt find it. Prate; you shall hear from me. Sure, sure, how found was I That could not weigh this before; Having his proper cause, If for some not slaughtered, Nor mine own, but by selection, I could sighs my age, shed floods of tears, Meet dangers in my shirt, bid conquering Death defiance, if all this and more I durst attempt, For one no otherwise, then mine by law; Needs must he rave passed rules of Manhood, And forget all precepts that support his sufferance: See you this? What think you of your self? Have you not done well? account thou scandal, That Like the Whore of Greece, Was teemed for men destruction; Thy sin upon thy self, my door is shut; That hospitality I show a stranger, Shall be restrained from thee. Keep your Orisons to charm relenting beggars. Such in needs, as may thy wants relieve; Or at least sympathy thy mournful tale, When fierce distress smiles, Expect more comfort from the blustering North, When he does blow the highest Acorn head Down to the Meadow, and there dips his cup; Then least relief from me, for thee; For thee chased Maid, all benisons, And goodness, that I can, command and have. Since you disdain my proffered courtesy, Together shelter your necessities; Take up your habour with the hardy beast; These gates are locked to her and her relievers Henceforth I will forget her, Blot her name forth of the Bed roll Where my children stand, And vow I had none such: Hence, hence, thou scandal. Have mercy, good my Lord. When will these humid fountains be dried up, and yield no more warm drops? Grant him a halter; nothing else good Duke. Thy hand Arbaces, our quarrel's over, we'll no fighting. Daughter I have done thee wrong too; but I'll seek for givenesse when we have more leisure.
Plot summary
Plot — The Knave in Grain, New Vamped
Jorezzo, banished after his father’s conviction for treason, has returned to Venice under the alias Julio, confiding his identity only to his old schoolfellow Franciscus. He plans to raise his fortunes by marrying Franciscus’ sister Phemone. Unfortunately for him, she is already in love with Antonio; so he tells Franciscus that Antonio is attempting to seduce his wife Cornelia. The jealous Franciscus fights a duel with Antonio, leaves him for dead, and goes into exile. Antonio is found and nursed bya shepherd. Franciscus’ property is seized by the state, and Cornelia’s father, believing the accusation of adultery, turns her out of his house; Phemone leaves Venice with her. They are given shelter by the disguised Antonio, but do not realize his identity. Antonio’s father Arbaces offers a reward for the capture of the fugitive Franciscus, who is living in disguise near Venice. Julio seeks him out, pretending remorse, but really intending to claim the «reward. Franciscus accepts his company, but sneaks off to fetch Arbaces and the watch. Franciscus is arrested and brought before the Duke. At first he is condemned for Antonio’s murder, but the judgement is reversed when Antonio himself comes to the court. Franciscus generously asks the court to spare Julio, but his plea backfires when he lets it slip that Julio is really Jorezzo, the son of a traitor. The Duke sentences him to be branded on the forehead with the word ‘knave’, then banished. In the sub-plot, Stultissimo comes off worst in a fight with Clariflora, Lodowick’s courtesan, and falls in love with her. He sends her amorous verses, takes his revenge by giving her a powerful laxative, and then marries her, only to regret it when he realizes this makes him a cuckold. Meanwhile Lodowick’s friend Valentius is enamoured of the physician Vanderman’s wife Sibylia. Lodowick gets him taken into the doctor’s care as a mental patient in order to have easier access to her. The stratagem is successful, and Valentius has his way with Sibylla. Vanderman discovers the adultery, so Valentius is pronounced sane and discharged. Both Vanderman and Stultissimo appeal to the Duke in connection with their wives’ adultery, but are merely mocked as cuckolds.
