Bring the offender forth. Believe't thou mayest sooner move a rock, which nei there blustering wind, nor boisterous Sea could shake or swal low, then beget remorse or smallest favour in so foul a case: I were unjust, and much unmeet to be the man I am, should we show mercy where the crime deserves, beyond the laws extent. He that shall pardon murder, take't from me, is accessary to the guilty deed, and stands in self predicament: Heaven defend we should be such, were he my Nephew, nay, my firstborn son, or one more near: let me not be blessed in my proceedings, if our Authority should blind his sin, or altar justice course, set him forth: what favour equity can yield be his, no more expect Crisippus. Art thou not sorry for thy heinous crime? Arise, thou needest not kneel, nor beg for justice, be assum read Arbaces: such his deservings, such his punishment, and cruel as the cause, thou most brutish man, nay, beast or something worse: hadst thou no humanity, no spark of reason then, nor sense, to think thy trespass foul and ugly? dost not repent thy tyranny in death, though not the deed it self: fie on thee monster, hast thou a foul and dreadst not her perdition: what heathen sa vage, nay, what ruder thing, having the life thou seekest, would have enacted such a deed of ruth, as thou, thou worst of crea tures, on the image and liveless carcase of thy loving friend. Canst thou deny thy wrathful cruelty, impetuous ty ranny, and fell revenge upon his bleeding trunk? Produce your proof Arbaces, strike blushes through the cheeks of this false man, and let him see his shame. Is this the Gentleman? Make room, give way there. We shall be sudden. Speak, sir, can you report any thing more touching this business then what already is delivered here in the open Court. Arbaces: was this the man gave you first notice where this Murderer kept? Is this truth? Look not up for shame, thou hast no interest there. Canst thou behold it now? What are these that make this earnest deprecation, with such a hearty zeal; are they well known to this assembly? Is that his wife? Harken thy sentence. Did not I say he's mad, stark raving mad, away with him. The man's alive that's dead. How Ioretzo? not the son of that pernicious traitor, had plotted with Lamunes for sums of gold to burn our City? When brought the toad forth other than himself, un less 'twere something worse? He that prays next in his behalf, by heaven friends not himself, and is mine enemy: We have too long suffered such Weeds as these to flourish in our soil: No more the bosom of this earth of ours, shall (Like a mother) lend her fruitless en crease, to cherish those would bane her: The sword of justice cut the justice off that keeps it sheathed to such: His deeds were shameful, his rewards be so, and quittance his desert: S are on his brow in letters capital, the name of knave, that all behold may read him what he is, and hate him in the sighed: His next doom is this; after three days we charge thee on thy life, never set foot more in thy Native Climate. So, bear him to his torture, speech is vain: For what is said there's nothing can restrain. We understand their humours, And the cause of their distempers; And have too long suffered such weeds As these to flourish in our soil, But now no longer shall this earth of ours, Like a ind Mother lend her fruits increase, To cherish those would eclipse her worth. But those whose aims and acts are imitable, Crown with green Garlands, and with Bowls brimmed full. Music proclaim a general Festival, A Jubilee of joy and mirth to all: May love and truth, never Like comfort miss, Nor Knave in Grain, escape a reward Like this. Give ear unto thy sentece. Is no man here amazed but only I? Whither away: stay him officers; we have not done with you. Give him his liberty: Art thou so impudent to plead for mercy, and beg of me, having committed such a capital tres pass here in my view? Francisco, henceforth know your virtuous wife, & prize her as a jewel: I have herd the world speak well of her, and those unmatched wish they may have your Fortune's. Lodwicke where's the dumb show you promised me. The jealous Doctor: I have him. What art? Then Medice curam teipsum; more knave than fool, the plot's false drawn else: away with em.
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.

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.
