I can, & have some cause, Oh Lucius! When shall mine eyes feed on that blessed sighed? Or when wilt thou with one kind look dissolve This cloud which now obscures me? and makes me seem Another from my self? Canst thou love Thy Isabella? Sir I beseech you grant it. Oh Lucius! Oh happy hour! I would I could not. Most wretched Isabella. Oh my Lucius! Might I but once more see thee, I could go Unto the graven me thinks with such a look As should make death enamoured on me. But in this house I've learned Pandora lives, Who now does reap my harvest: here I hope I may enjoy at least a sighed of him, And that is all that ever I must hope for. Constan. appears at the window But I shall be observed. Doubt not that: Th'are shallow griefs that make a noise. Indeed forsooth I was abused there; beside, that trade Begins to fail of late, most of your Gallants Are grown so wise and frugal, that they choose Rather to spend their money on a whore (Which they call necessary ) then on such toys. Ah whither will he drag me? o my heart! I am undone! my father, and my brother. Sir, I beseech you pardon what my love, And younger years have trespassed. It is Endymion My brother.—Brother, God save you. It's Lucius.
Plot summary
Plot — The Rival Friends
With Placenta’s help, Constantina disguises herself as a boy and leaves her father’s house in search of her missing love, Cleopes; she leaves a former boy-actor in her place. The friends Neander and Lucius both love Pandora, but she cannot decide between them. Each asks old Lively to help him win her love, not for himself but for his friend. Favouring Lucius, Lively plans to arrange a bogus wedding that will remove Neander from the rivalry, leaving Pandora for Lucius, without being subsequently binding. The ‘boy’ whom Lively selects to pose as Neander’s bride is actually Constantina; but he allows the wedding to go ahead even after discovering her identity. Meanwhile Placenta advises Pandora to make her lovers jealous by pretending interest in someone else, so she woos the page Endymion. When she learns that Neander is married, and when Lucius claims to be a eunuch, she transfers her affections to Endymion in earnest. It emerges that Lucius has jilted Endymion’s sister Isabella, who subsequently disappeared. Constantina is brought in apparently dead, killed by Neander, and her brother Love-All recognizes her. In fact, she is only injured, and revives, calling for Cleopes. Neander admits that he is Cleopes: he had wooed her, but became more interested in Pandora, and feigned a voyage overseas; he then returned with a new identity to pursue Pandora. Love-All wants to know who was pretending to be his sister while Constantina has been out of the house; the ‘boy’ is brought in, and is recognized as the absent Isabella. Lucius agrees to marry her, waiving a dowry, and Pandora is allowed to marry Endymion. In one sub-plot, Lively’s house, a parsonage, will revert to the church upon his death. Pandora’s father, Justice Hook, has the living in his gift, and has promised it to whoever marries his other daughter, the deformed Ursely. Suitors flock to Hook’s house, but Lively intends to outlive them. While Hook is interviewing the candidates, Lively feigns death and names Hook his heir, but comes back to life when Hook rushes off to take possession of the property. Ursely herself wants to marry the misogynistic Anteros, and Anteros overhears Hook acceding to her wishes. To win the compliance of Anteros’ father Terpander, Hook surrenders a mortgage on his lands, which Anteros destroys. Placenta then reveals that the marriage cannot take place: Ursely is Anteros’ sister, given up at birth by her mother to simulate the results of a phantom pregnancy to Hook’s wife.…
