- 3:37Speaker 1: Act one, Scene one induction Enter the ghost of Andrea
- 3:43Speaker 1: and with him revenge.
- 3:46Speaker 2: When the eternal substance of my soul did live imprisoned
- 3:51Speaker 2: in my wanton flesh, each in their function on serving
- 3:56Speaker 2: others need. I was a courtier in the Spanish court.
- 4:01Speaker 2: My name was Don Andrea. My descent, though not ignoble,
- 4:06Speaker 2: yet inferior far to gracious fortunes of my tender youth.
- 4:12Speaker 2: For there in prime and pride of all my years,
- 4:16Speaker 2: by duteous service and deserving love, in secret, I possess'd
- 4:22Speaker 2: a worthy dame, which hight sweet bell Imperia by name.
- 4:28Speaker 2: But in the harvest of my summer joys, death's winter
- 4:33Speaker 2: knit the blossoms of my bliss, forcing divorce betwixt my
- 4:39Speaker 2: love and me. For in the late conflict with Portingal,
- 4:44Speaker 2: my valor drew me into danger's mouth, till life to
- 4:49Speaker 2: death made passage through my wounds. When I was slain,
- 4:55Speaker 2: my soul descended straight to pass the flowing stream of Aci.
- 5:00Speaker 2: But Charlish Charon only boatmen there said that my rights
- 5:07Speaker 2: of burial not perform'd, I might not sit amongst his passengers.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Ere soul had slept three nights in thetis lap and
- 5:19Speaker 2: sleek'd his smoking chariot in her flat. By Don Horatio
- 5:25Speaker 2: a night martial sun, my funerals and obsequies were done.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Then was the ferryman of Hell content to pass me
- 5:34Speaker 2: over to the slimy strand that leads to felavalness ugly waves. There,
- 5:43Speaker 2: pleasing Cerberus with honeyed speech, I pass'd the perils of
- 5:49Speaker 2: the foremost porch, not far from hence, amidst ten thousand
- 5:55Speaker 2: souls sat Minos, Iachus and radamanth, to whom no sooner
- 6:02Speaker 2: can I make approach to crave a passport for my
- 6:05Speaker 2: wandering ghost. But mine loss in graven leaves of lottery
- 6:11Speaker 2: drew forth the manner of my life and death this night,
- 6:18Speaker 2: quoth he both liv'd and died in love, and for
- 6:23Speaker 2: his love tried fortune of the wars, and by war's
- 6:27Speaker 2: fortune lost both love and life. Why, then, said Iachus,
- 6:35Speaker 2: convey him hence to walk with lovers in our fields
- 6:39Speaker 2: of love, and spend the course of everlasting time under
- 6:44Speaker 2: green myrtle trees and cypress shades. No, no, said radamanth.
- 6:53Speaker 2: It were not well with loving souls to place a marcialist.
- 6:58Speaker 2: He died in war, and must to massial fields, where
- 7:03Speaker 2: wounded hector lives in lasting pain, and achilles mermidons do
- 7:09Speaker 2: scour the plain. Then Minss mildest censor of the three,
- 7:16Speaker 2: made this device to end the difference. Send him, quoth
- 7:22Speaker 2: he to our infernal King, to doom him, as best
- 7:26Speaker 2: seems his majesty. To this effect, my passport strait was
- 7:32Speaker 2: drawn in keeping on my way to Pluto's court, through
- 7:37Speaker 2: dreadful shades of ever glooming night, I saw more sights
- 7:43Speaker 2: than thousand tongues can tell, or pens can write, or
- 7:48Speaker 2: mortal hearts can think. Three ways there were that on
- 7:54Speaker 2: the right hand side was ready way under the foresaid fields,
- 7:59Speaker 2: when lovers live and bloody marcialists, but either sort contain'd
- 8:06Speaker 2: within his bounds. The left hand path, declining fearfully, was
- 8:13Speaker 2: ready downfall to the deepest hell, where bloody furies shake
- 8:20Speaker 2: their whips of steel, and poor ixion turns an endless wheel,
- 8:26Speaker 2: where usurers are chok'd with melting gold, and wantons are
- 8:31Speaker 2: embraced with ugly snakes, and murderers groan with never killing wounds,
- 8:39Speaker 2: and purged whites scalded in boiling lead, and all foul
- 8:46Speaker 2: sins with torments overwhelm'd. TwixT these two ways, I trod
- 8:54Speaker 2: the middle path, which brought me to the fair elision
- 8:58Speaker 2: green in midst whereof there stands a stately tower, the
- 9:04Speaker 2: walls of brass, the gates of Adamant. Here, finding Pluto
- 9:10Speaker 2: with his Proserpine, I showed my passport, humbled on my knee,
- 9:16Speaker 2: whereat fair Proserpine began to smile and begged that only
- 9:22Speaker 2: she might give my doom. Pluto was pleased and sealed
- 9:28Speaker 2: it with a kiss. Forthwith revenge, she rounded thee and
- 9:34Speaker 2: ear and bad thee lead me through the gates of horn,
- 9:39Speaker 2: where dreams have passage in the silent night. No sooner
- 9:46Speaker 2: had she spoke, but we were here. I WoT not
- 9:50Speaker 2: how in twinkling of an eye.
- 9:54Speaker 15: Then know Andrea, that thou art arrived Where thou shalt
- 9:58Speaker 15: see the author of death, Don Balthazar, the Prince of Portingal,
- 10:04Speaker 15: deprived of life by bel Imperia. Here sit we down
- 10:09Speaker 15: to see the mystery and serve for chorus.
- 10:11Speaker 1: In this tragedy scene too, the court of Spain enter
- 10:19Speaker 1: Spanish King, General Castile and Hieronimo.
- 10:25Speaker 16: Now say, Lord General, how fares our camp all?
- 10:29Speaker 8: Well, my sovereign liege, accept some view that are deceased
- 10:33Speaker 8: by fortune of the war.
- 10:35Speaker 16: But what portends thy cheerful countenance? Imposting to our presence.
- 10:39Speaker 16: Thus in haste speak man, hath fortune given us victory.
- 10:44Speaker 8: Victory my liege, and that with little loss.
- 10:48Speaker 16: Our portgals will pay us tribute, then.
- 10:52Speaker 8: Tribute and wanted homage therewithal.
- 10:56Speaker 16: Then blessed be Heaven and guider of the heavens. From
- 11:00Speaker 16: host fair influence. Such justice flows.
- 11:03Speaker 17: Oh mutum de lecte deo tib millet at it at
- 11:08Speaker 17: conjurat gurvato poplite gente sukumbunt recti soro is victoria.
- 11:15Speaker 16: URIs thanks to my loving brother of Castile, but general
- 11:20Speaker 16: unfolding brief discourse your former battle and your war's success,
- 11:25Speaker 16: that adding all the pleasure of thy news onto the
- 11:28Speaker 16: height of former happiness, with deeper age and greater dignity,
- 11:33Speaker 16: we may reward thy blissful chivalry.
- 11:36Speaker 8: Where Spain and puddingal do jointly knit their frontiers, leaning
- 11:40Speaker 8: on each other's bound, there met our armies in their
- 11:44Speaker 8: proud array, both furnished well, both full of hope and fear,
- 11:48Speaker 8: both menacing alike with daring shows, both vaunting sundry colors
- 11:53Speaker 8: of device, both cheerly sounding trumpets, chums and fives, both
- 11:59Speaker 8: raising dreadful clamours to the sky that valleys, hills and
- 12:03Speaker 8: rivers made rebound, and Heaven itself was frighted with the
- 12:08Speaker 8: sound our battles. Both were pitched in squadron form, each
- 12:13Speaker 8: corner strongly fenced with wings of shot. But ere we
- 12:17Speaker 8: joined and came to push of pike. I brought a
- 12:20Speaker 8: squadron of our readiest shot from out our rearward to
- 12:24Speaker 8: begin the fight. They brought another wing to encounter us. Meanwhile,
- 12:30Speaker 8: our ordinance played on either side, and Captain strove to
- 12:34Speaker 8: have their valors tried. Don Pedro, their chief horsemen's colonel, did,
- 12:41Speaker 8: with his cornet bravely make attempt to break the order
- 12:44Speaker 8: of our battle reks. But Don roggiero worthy man of war,
- 12:50Speaker 8: marched forth against him with our musketeers, and stopped the
- 12:54Speaker 8: malice of his fell approach. While they maintain hot skirmish
- 13:00Speaker 8: to in fro both battles join and fall to handy blows,
- 13:05Speaker 8: their violent shot resembling the ocean's rage. When roaring loud
- 13:10Speaker 8: and with a swelling tide, it beats upon the rampiers
- 13:14Speaker 8: of huge rocks and gapes to swallow neighbor bounding lands. Now,
- 13:21Speaker 8: while Bellona rageth here and there thick storms of bullets
- 13:26Speaker 8: ran like winter's hail, and shivered lances dark the troubled
- 13:31Speaker 8: air peri passes cuspi, decuspis armas ornant armis via petitkeeviro.
- 13:40Speaker 8: On every side drop captains to the ground, and soldiers,
- 13:44Speaker 8: some ill maimed, some slain. Outright Here falls a body
- 13:49Speaker 8: sundered from his head. Their legs and arms lie bleading
- 13:53Speaker 8: on the grass, mingled with weapons and unboweled steeds that
- 13:59Speaker 8: scattering overspread the purple plain. In all this turmoil, three
- 14:04Speaker 8: long hours and more, the victory to neither part inclined
- 14:10Speaker 8: till dawn. Andrea, with his brave lancers in their main battle,
- 14:15Speaker 8: made so great a breach that half dismayed the multitude retired,
- 14:21Speaker 8: but Balthissar, the Portingal's young prince, brought rescue and encouraged
- 14:25Speaker 8: them to stay here. Hence the fight was eagerly renewed,
- 14:29Speaker 8: And in that conflict was Andrea slain, brave man at arms,
- 14:36Speaker 8: but weak to Balthissar. Yet, while the prince, insulting over him,
- 14:41Speaker 8: breathed out proud vaunts sounding to our reproach, friendship and
- 14:47Speaker 8: hardy valor joined in one pricked forth. Horatio our Knight
- 14:51Speaker 8: Martial Sun to challenge forth that prince in single fight.
- 14:56Speaker 8: Not long between these twain. The fight endured, but straight
- 15:00Speaker 8: the Prince was beaten from his horse and forced to
- 15:04Speaker 8: yield him prisoner to his foe. When he was taken
- 15:09Speaker 8: all the rest they fled, and our carbines pursued them
- 15:13Speaker 8: to the death, till Phoebus waving to the western deep,
- 15:18Speaker 8: our trumpeters were charged to sound retreat.
- 15:22Speaker 16: Thanks, good Lord General, for these good news, and for
- 15:26Speaker 16: some argument of more to come, take this and wear
- 15:30Speaker 16: it for thy sovereign's sake.
- 15:32Speaker 1: Gives him his chain.
- 15:34Speaker 16: But tell me now hast thou confirmed a peace?
- 15:38Speaker 8: No peace, my liege, but peace conditional that if homage
- 15:43Speaker 8: tribute be well paid, the fury of your forces will
- 15:47Speaker 8: be stayed. And to this peace their viceroy hath.
- 15:51Speaker 1: Subscribed, gives the King a paper.
- 15:54Speaker 8: And made a solemn vow that during life his tribute
- 15:58Speaker 8: shall be truly paid.
- 16:00Speaker 16: To spain these words, these deeds become thy person well.
- 16:05Speaker 16: But now Knight Marshal frolic withy King. Fortis thy son
- 16:10Speaker 16: that wins this bottle's prize.
- 16:13Speaker 7: Long may he live to serve my sovereign liege. And
- 16:16Speaker 7: soon to carry on us.
- 16:17Speaker 16: He serve, my liege, nor thou, nor he shall die
- 16:20Speaker 16: without reward?
- 16:22Speaker 1: Attack it afar off?
- 16:24Speaker 16: What means the warning of this? Trumpets sound?
- 16:27Speaker 8: This tells me that your Grace's men of war, such
- 16:30Speaker 8: as war's fortune, hath rescued from death, come marching on
- 16:34Speaker 8: towards your royal seat, to show themselves before your majesty.
- 16:39Speaker 8: For so I gave in charge at my depart whereby
- 16:42Speaker 8: by demonstration shall appear that all except three hundred or
- 16:47Speaker 8: few more are safe returned, and by their foes enriched.
- 16:53Speaker 1: The army enters Balthasar, between Lorenzo and Horatio, captive.
- 16:59Speaker 16: A gladsome side. I long to see.
- 17:01Speaker 1: Them here they enter and pass by?
- 17:05Speaker 16: Was that the warlike Prince of Portugal, that by our
- 17:08Speaker 16: nephew was in triumphaled?
- 17:10Speaker 8: It was my liege, the Prince of Putingal.
- 17:14Speaker 16: But what was he that on the other side held
- 17:16Speaker 16: him by the arm as partner of the price.
- 17:20Speaker 7: That was my son, my gracious Sovereign, of whom, though
- 17:23Speaker 7: from his tender infancy my loving thoughts did never hope.
- 17:26Speaker 7: But well, he never pleased his father's eyes till now,
- 17:30Speaker 7: nor filled my heart with overcloing joys.
- 17:33Speaker 2: Go.
- 17:33Speaker 16: Let them march once more about these walls, that staying them,
- 17:37Speaker 16: we may confer and talk with our brave prisoner and
- 17:41Speaker 16: his double guard, Eronimo. It greatly pleases that in our
- 17:45Speaker 16: victory thou have a share by virtue of thy worthy sons.
- 17:49Speaker 16: Exploit enter again, bring hither the young Prince of Portingal
- 17:55Speaker 16: the rest much on. But ere they be dismissed, we
- 17:58Speaker 16: will bestow on every soldier to the cuts, and on
- 18:01Speaker 16: every leader ten that they may know our lodgest welcomes
- 18:04Speaker 16: them acient.
- 18:06Speaker 1: All but Balthazar, Lorenzo and Horatio welcome.
- 18:11Speaker 16: Don Baltasar, welcome, nephew, and thou Horatio, thou art welcome
- 18:16Speaker 16: to young Prince. Although thy father's hard misteeds deserve but
- 18:21Speaker 16: evil measure at our hands, Yet shalt thou know that
- 18:24Speaker 16: Spain is honorable.
- 18:26Speaker 18: The trespass that my father made in peace is now
- 18:29Speaker 18: controlled by fortune of the wars and cards. Once dealt it,
- 18:34Speaker 18: Boots not ask why so his men are slain, a
- 18:38Speaker 18: weakening to his realm. His cothers seized a blot unto
- 18:42Speaker 18: his name, his son distressed a coursive to his heart.
- 18:46Speaker 18: These punishments may clear his late offense.
- 18:50Speaker 16: Ay, Baltasar. If you observe this truce, our peace will
- 18:54Speaker 16: grow the stronger. For these wars. Meanwhile, live thou, though
- 18:59Speaker 16: not in liberty, yet free from bearing any servile joke.
- 19:03Speaker 16: For in our hearing thy deserts were great, and in
- 19:07Speaker 16: our sight thyself art gracious.
- 19:09Speaker 18: And I shall study to deserve this grace.
- 19:12Speaker 16: But tell me, for their holding makes me doubt to
- 19:15Speaker 16: which of these twain art thou prisoner?
- 19:18Speaker 10: To me, my liege, to me, my sovereign. This hand
- 19:22Speaker 10: the first took his courser by the reins.
- 19:25Speaker 19: But first my lance did put him from his horse.
- 19:28Speaker 10: I seized his weapon and enjoyed it first, But first I.
- 19:33Speaker 19: Forced him to lay his weapons down.
- 19:35Speaker 16: Let go his arm. Upon our privilege.
- 19:38Speaker 1: They let him go.
- 19:40Speaker 16: Say were the prince to whether didst Thou yield.
- 19:44Speaker 18: To him in courtesy to this perforce? He spake me fair,
- 19:50Speaker 18: This other gave me strokes, He promised life, This other
- 19:55Speaker 18: threatened death. He won my love, this other angered me
- 20:01Speaker 18: and truth to say, I yield myself to both.
- 20:05Speaker 7: But that I know your grace is just and wise,
- 20:08Speaker 7: and might seem partial in this difference, enforced by nature
- 20:12Speaker 7: and by law of arms. My tongue should plead for
- 20:16Speaker 7: young Horatio's right. He hunted well, that was a lion's death,
- 20:21Speaker 7: not he that in a garment wore his skin, So
- 20:24Speaker 7: hares may pull dead lions by the beard.
- 20:27Speaker 16: Content De Marshal, thou shalt have no wrong, and for
- 20:31Speaker 16: thy sake thy son shall want no right. Will both
- 20:34Speaker 16: abide the censure of my doom.
- 20:36Speaker 10: I crave no better than your grace awards.
- 20:40Speaker 16: Nor I although I sit beside my right, then by
- 20:44Speaker 16: my judgment, thus your strife shall end. You both deserve,
- 20:49Speaker 16: and both shall have reward. Nephew, thou took'st his weapon
- 20:53Speaker 16: and his horse. His weapons and his horse are thy
- 20:57Speaker 16: reward for Rachel Thou didst force him first to yield
- 21:02Speaker 16: his ransom. Therefore is thy valor's fee appoint to some
- 21:07Speaker 16: as you shall both agree. But Nephew, thou shalt have
- 21:11Speaker 16: the prince in guard for thine estate best fitteth such
- 21:14Speaker 16: a guest. Horacious house were small for all his train.
- 21:19Speaker 16: Yet in regard thy substance passeth his, and that just
- 21:23Speaker 16: Gerdon may befall desert to him, we yield the armor
- 21:28Speaker 16: of the prince. How like stone balter ser of this device.
- 21:33Speaker 18: Right well, my liege, if this Praviso were that don
- 21:37Speaker 18: Horatio bear us company whom I admire and love for.
- 21:40Speaker 16: Chivalry, Horatio, leave him not that loves thee. So now
- 21:45Speaker 16: let us hands to see our soldiers paid, and feast
- 21:49Speaker 16: our prisoner as our friendly guest.
- 21:52Speaker 1: Accient Scene three the court of Portugal and Viceroy Alexandro Filopo.
- 22:04Speaker 5: Is our ambassador dispatched for Spain.
- 22:07Speaker 3: Two days my liege have passed since his depart.
- 22:10Speaker 5: And tribute payment gone along with him.
- 22:13Speaker 3: Aye, my good lord.
- 22:14Speaker 5: Then rest we hear a while in our unrest, and
- 22:17Speaker 5: feed our sorrows with some inward size. For deepest cares
- 22:21Speaker 5: break never into tears, and where force it I in
- 22:25Speaker 5: a regal throne, this better fits a reties.
- 22:28Speaker 7: Endless moan falls to the ground.
- 22:31Speaker 5: Yet this is higher than my fortune's reach and therefore
- 22:35Speaker 5: better than my state deserves. Aye. Aye, this earth image
- 22:39Speaker 5: of Melancholy seeks him whom fate a judged to misery.
- 22:44Speaker 5: Here let me lie now am I at my lowest
- 22:48Speaker 5: coesa tin terror non abbe uncadet in me can sum
- 22:53Speaker 5: sit Virea's fortune and nosendo nil superestus jam possit obese
- 23:00Speaker 5: some magics. Fortune may bereave me of my crown. Here
- 23:05Speaker 5: take it now, let fortune do her worst. She will
- 23:09Speaker 5: not rob me of this sable weed. Oh no, she
- 23:12Speaker 5: envies non but pleasant things. Such is the folly of
- 23:16Speaker 5: despiteful chance. Fortune is blind and sees not my deserts.
- 23:22Speaker 8: So is she death?
- 23:23Speaker 5: And hears not my laments? And could she hear? Yet?
- 23:27Speaker 5: Is she wilful? Mad? And therefore will not pity my distress?
- 23:33Speaker 5: Suppose she could be to me? What then? What help
- 23:36Speaker 5: can be expected in her hands? Whose foot is standing
- 23:39Speaker 5: on a rolling stone, and mine more mutable than fickle winds?
- 23:44Speaker 5: Why wail I? Then? Where's hope of no redress? Oh? Yes,
- 23:50Speaker 5: complaining makes my grief seem less. My late ambition have
- 23:54Speaker 5: disdained my faith, my breach of faith occasion, bloody wars,
- 23:59Speaker 5: Those bloody wars have spent my treasure, and with my
- 24:03Speaker 5: treasure my people's blood, and with their blood my joy
- 24:07Speaker 5: and best beloved, my best beloved, my sweet and only son. Oh?
- 24:12Speaker 5: Wherefore went I not to war? Myself? The cause was mine.
- 24:17Speaker 5: I might have died, for both My years were mellow,
- 24:21Speaker 5: his but young and green. My death were natural, but
- 24:26Speaker 5: his was forced.
- 24:28Speaker 3: No doubt, my liege. But still the prince survives, survives.
- 24:32Speaker 3: I where in Spain a prisoner by mischance.
- 24:36Speaker 5: Of war, then they have slain him for his father's fault.
- 24:40Speaker 3: That were breached the common law of arms.
- 24:43Speaker 5: They reckon no laws that meditate revenge.
- 24:46Speaker 3: His ransom's worth will stay from foul revenge.
- 24:49Speaker 5: No, if he lived, the news would soon be here.
- 24:53Speaker 3: Nay, evil news fly faster still than good.
- 24:56Speaker 5: Tell me no more of news, for he is dead.
- 25:00Speaker 20: My sovereign, pardon the author of ill news, and I'll
- 25:03Speaker 20: be ray the fortune of thy son.
- 25:05Speaker 5: Speak on, I'll girdon thee whate'er it be. Myneer is
- 25:09Speaker 5: ready to receive ill news. My heart grown hard against mischiefs, battery.
- 25:15Speaker 5: Stand up, I say, and tell thy tail at lodge.
- 25:19Speaker 20: Then hear that truth which these mine eyes have seen.
- 25:22Speaker 20: When both the army war Beller joined Don Balthazar amidst
- 25:25Speaker 20: the thickest troops to win Renown, did wondrous feats of
- 25:28Speaker 20: arms amongst the rest. I saw him hand to hand
- 25:31Speaker 20: in single fight with their lord General. Tell Alexandro that
- 25:35Speaker 20: here counterfeits under the color of a dutious friend discharged
- 25:38Speaker 20: his pistol at the Prince's back, as though he would
- 25:40Speaker 20: have slain their general. But therewithal don Balthazar fell down,
- 25:44Speaker 20: And when he fell, then we began to fly. But
- 25:47Speaker 20: had he lived, the day had sure been ours?
- 25:50Speaker 3: Ooh, wicked forgery, Oh, traitor is miscreant.
- 25:54Speaker 5: Although thy peace? But no villipaul say where them became
- 25:58Speaker 5: the caucaus of my son?
- 26:00Speaker 20: I saw them drag it to the Spanish tents.
- 26:03Speaker 5: Ay, Ay, my knightly dreams have told me this, Thou false, unkind, unthankful,
- 26:09Speaker 5: traitorous beast. Where had a Balthazar offended Thee that thou
- 26:13Speaker 5: shoulst thus betray him to his foes? What's spain? Good?
- 26:18Speaker 5: That blears sulled thine eyes? That thou couldt see no
- 26:21Speaker 5: part of our deserts? Perchance because thou art Turker's lord,
- 26:26Speaker 5: Thou hast some hope to word this diadem if first
- 26:30Speaker 5: my son and then myself was slain, But thy ambitious
- 26:33Speaker 5: thoughts shall break thy neck eye. This was it that
- 26:37Speaker 5: made thee spill his blood.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Takes the crown and puts it on again.
- 26:42Speaker 5: But now I'll wear it till thy blood be spilt.
- 26:45Speaker 14: Go.
- 26:45Speaker 3: She dread sovereign to hear me speak.
- 26:48Speaker 5: Away with him. His sight is second hell. Keep him
- 26:52Speaker 5: till we determine of his death. If Balthazar be dead,
- 26:56Speaker 5: he shall not live. Villippo follow us.
- 26:59Speaker 1: For thy ward, except Viceroy does.
- 27:03Speaker 20: Have I with an envious forged tale, deceived the king
- 27:06Speaker 20: betrayed mine enemy, and hope for gerridon of my villainy.
- 27:10Speaker 1: Exit Scene four. Enter Horatio and bel imperia.
- 27:18Speaker 4: Senor Horatio, this is the place and hour wherein I
- 27:22Speaker 4: must entreat thee to relate the circumstance of Don Andrea's death,
- 27:27Speaker 4: who living was my garland's sweetest flower, and in his
- 27:31Speaker 4: death hath buried my delights.
- 27:34Speaker 19: For love of him and service to yourself, I nill
- 27:38Speaker 19: refused this heavy, doleful charge. Yet tears and sighs, I
- 27:43Speaker 19: fear will hinder me. When both our armies were enjoined
- 27:48Speaker 19: in fight, your worthy Chualiermidst, the thickest for glorious cost,
- 27:53Speaker 19: still aiming at the fairest, was at last by young
- 27:56Speaker 19: dom Balthassar, and counted hand to hand. The fight was long,
- 28:01Speaker 19: Their hearts were great, their clamors menacing their strength alike.
- 28:06Speaker 19: The strokes both dangerous but rough. Nemesis thou wicked power,
- 28:14Speaker 19: envying at Andrea's praise in worth, cut short his life.
- 28:18Speaker 19: To end his praise in worth, she she herself disguised
- 28:23Speaker 19: in armor's mask, as Pallace was before proud Pergamace brought
- 28:28Speaker 19: in a fresh supply of halberdis, which paunched his horse
- 28:32Speaker 19: and dinged him to the ground. Then young Don Balthasar,
- 28:36Speaker 19: with ruthless rage, taking advantage of his foes distress, did
- 28:40Speaker 19: finish what his halberdias begun, and left not till Andrea's
- 28:45Speaker 19: life was done. Then, though too late, incensed with just remorse,
- 28:51Speaker 19: I with my band set forth against the Prince and
- 28:54Speaker 19: brought him prisoner from his Halbertius.
- 28:57Speaker 4: Would thou hast slain him? That so slew my love?
- 29:00Speaker 4: But then was John Andrea's carcass lost.
- 29:04Speaker 19: No, that was it for which I chiefly strove nor
- 29:07Speaker 19: step thy back till a recovered him. I took him
- 29:11Speaker 19: up and wound him in mine arms, and wielding him
- 29:15Speaker 19: unto my private tent there laid him down and dewed
- 29:19Speaker 19: him with my tears, and sighed and sorrowed as became
- 29:24Speaker 19: a friend. But neither friendly sorrow sighs nor tears could
- 29:30Speaker 19: ween pale death from his usurp'd right. Yet this I
- 29:35Speaker 19: did unless I could not do. I saw him honored
- 29:38Speaker 19: with due funeral. The scarf I plucked from off his
- 29:41Speaker 19: lifeless arm, and wear it in remembrance of my friend.
- 29:46Speaker 4: I know the scarf would he had kept it still,
- 29:51Speaker 4: For had he lived, he would have kept it still
- 29:54Speaker 4: and worn it for his bell Imperio's sake, For twas
- 29:58Speaker 4: my favor at his last apart. But now where thou it,
- 30:02Speaker 4: both for him and me? For after him thou hast
- 30:06Speaker 4: deserved it best, but for thy kindness in his life
- 30:11Speaker 4: and death. Be sure, while bel Imperia's life endures, she
- 30:16Speaker 4: will be Don Horatio's thankful friend.
- 30:20Speaker 19: And Madam don Horatio will not slack humbly to serve
- 30:25Speaker 19: fair bel Imperia. But now, if your good likings stand
- 30:30Speaker 19: there too, I'll crave your pardon to go seek the prince.
- 30:34Speaker 19: For so the Duke your father gave me charge.
- 30:37Speaker 4: I go, Horatio, leave me here alone, for solitude best
- 30:42Speaker 4: fits my cheerless.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Mood, except Horatio.
- 30:46Speaker 4: Yet what avails to wail Andrea's death? From whence Horatio
- 30:50Speaker 4: proves my second love? Had he not loved Andrea as
- 30:55Speaker 4: he did, he could not sit in bel imperious thoughts.
- 30:59Speaker 4: But how can love find harbor in my breast till
- 31:02Speaker 4: I avenge the death of my beloved? Yes, second love
- 31:06Speaker 4: shall further my revenge. I'll love Horatio, my Andrea's friend,
- 31:12Speaker 4: the more to spite the prince that wrought his end.
- 31:15Speaker 4: And where don Balthazar that slew my love himself now
- 31:20Speaker 4: pleads for favor at my hands? He shall, in rigor
- 31:24Speaker 4: of my just disdain, reap long repentance for his murderous deed.
- 31:29Speaker 4: For what was it else but murderous cowardice, so many
- 31:34Speaker 4: to oppress one valiant knight without respect of honor in
- 31:37Speaker 4: the fight. And here he comes that murdered my delight.
- 31:42Speaker 1: Enter Lorenzo and Balthazar, Sister?
- 31:45Speaker 10: What means this melancholy walk?
- 31:48Speaker 4: That for a while I wish no company?
- 31:51Speaker 10: But here the prince has come to visit.
- 31:53Speaker 4: You, that argues that he lives in liberty?
- 31:57Speaker 18: No, madam, but in pleasing servant your prison?
- 32:01Speaker 4: Then be like, is your conceit?
- 32:04Speaker 18: Aye? By conceit my freedom is enthralled.
- 32:07Speaker 4: Then with conceit enlarge yourself again.
- 32:10Speaker 18: What if conceit have laid my heart to gage.
- 32:13Speaker 4: Pay that you borrowed and recover it.
- 32:17Speaker 18: I die if it return from whence it lies.
- 32:20Speaker 4: A heartless man, and live a miracle.
- 32:23Speaker 18: Aye, lady, Love can work such miracles.
- 32:27Speaker 10: Tush, tush, my lord, Let go these ambugas, and in
- 32:31Speaker 10: plain terms, acquaint her with your love.
- 32:33Speaker 4: What boots complaint when there's no remedy?
- 32:37Speaker 18: Yes to your gracious self. Must I complain? In whose
- 32:41Speaker 18: fair answer lies my remedy? On whose perfection all my
- 32:46Speaker 18: thoughts attend on whose aspect mine eyes find beauty's bower,
- 32:50Speaker 18: in whose translucent breast my heart is lodged.
- 32:54Speaker 4: Alas, my lord, these are but words, of course, and
- 32:58Speaker 4: but device to dry me from this place.
- 33:02Speaker 1: She in going in, let's fall her glove, which Horatio
- 33:06Speaker 1: coming out takes.
- 33:08Speaker 4: Up, Madam, your glove, Thanks good, Horatio, take it for
- 33:13Speaker 4: thy pains.
- 33:15Speaker 18: Signor Horatio stooped.
- 33:16Speaker 19: In happy time, I reap more grace than I deserved
- 33:20Speaker 19: or hoped.
- 33:21Speaker 10: My Lord, be not dismayed for what is past. You
- 33:24Speaker 10: know that women after humor is these clouds will overblow
- 33:28Speaker 10: with little wind. Let me alone, I'll scatter them myself. Meanwhile,
- 33:34Speaker 10: let us devise to spend the time in some delightful
- 33:37Speaker 10: sports and reveling the king.
- 33:39Speaker 19: My lords is coining hither straight to feast the portingal ambassador.
- 33:44Speaker 19: Things were in redness before I came.
- 33:47Speaker 18: Then here it fits us to attend the king, to
- 33:50Speaker 18: welcome hither our ambassador, and learn my father and my
- 33:53Speaker 18: country's health.
- 33:56Speaker 1: Scene five, enter the banquet, trumpets the king and ambassador.
- 34:03Speaker 16: See Lord, ambassador, how Spain entreats their prisoner, Balthasar, thy
- 34:07Speaker 16: Viceroy's son. We pleasure more in kindness than in.
- 34:11Speaker 9: Wars, sadizacing and porting gliments. Supposing that Don Balthasar is slain.
- 34:18Speaker 18: So am I slain by beauty's tyranny. You see, my lord,
- 34:23Speaker 18: how Balthasar is slain. I frolic with the Duke of
- 34:26Speaker 18: Castile's son, wrapped every hour in pleasures of the court,
- 34:30Speaker 18: and graced with favors of his majesty.
- 34:33Speaker 16: Put off your greetings till our feast be done. Now
- 34:36Speaker 16: come and sit with us and taste our chair.
- 34:39Speaker 1: Set to the banquet.
- 34:41Speaker 16: Sit down, young Prince, you are our second guest. Brother.
- 34:46Speaker 16: Sit down, and nephew take your place. Senor Rachel, Wait
- 34:51Speaker 16: thou upon our cup, for well them has deserved to
- 34:54Speaker 16: be honored. Now lordings fall too Spain is portable and poor.
- 35:00Speaker 16: Regalless Spain. We both are friends, tribute disspaid, and we
- 35:05Speaker 16: enjoy our right. But where is old Hieronimo, our marshal.
- 35:09Speaker 16: He promised us, in honor of our guests, to graze
- 35:12Speaker 16: our banquet with some pompous jest.
- 35:15Speaker 1: Enter Hieronymo with a drum, three knights each his scutcheon.
- 35:20Speaker 1: Then he fetches three kings, They take their crowns, and them.
- 35:24Speaker 16: Captive Hieronimo, this mask contains mine eye, although I sound
- 35:29Speaker 16: not well the mystery.
- 35:30Speaker 7: The first armed knight that hung his scutcheon.
- 35:33Speaker 1: Up, he takes the scutcheon and gives it to the king.
- 35:37Speaker 7: Was English Robert, Earl of Gloucester, who, in King Stephen
- 35:41Speaker 7: was Way and Albion arrived with five and twenty thousand
- 35:44Speaker 7: men in Portugal, and by success of war enforced the king.
- 35:48Speaker 7: Then but a saracen to bear the yoke of the
- 35:51Speaker 7: English monarchy, My.
- 35:53Speaker 16: Lord of Portugal, by this you see that which may
- 35:56Speaker 16: comfort both your king and jew and make your late
- 35:59Speaker 16: desis comfort seemed the less. But say Eeronimo, what was
- 36:04Speaker 16: the next?
- 36:05Speaker 7: The second knight that hung his scutching.
- 36:06Speaker 1: Up, He doth as he did before.
- 36:09Speaker 7: Was Edmund, Earl of Kent and Albion. When English Richard
- 36:13Speaker 7: wore the diadem, he came likewise and raised Lisbon walls
- 36:17Speaker 7: and took the King of Portugal in fight, for which
- 36:21Speaker 7: and others such like service done. He after was created
- 36:24Speaker 7: Duke of York.
- 36:25Speaker 16: This is another special argument that Portugal may deign to
- 36:29Speaker 16: bear your joke when it by little England hath been joked.
- 36:35Speaker 16: But now, Eeronimo, what were the last.
- 36:38Speaker 7: The third and last? Not least in our account?
- 36:41Speaker 1: Doing as before was as the.
- 36:44Speaker 7: Rest a valiant englishmen. Brave John of Gaunt, the Duke
- 36:48Speaker 7: of Lancaster, as by his scutcheon plainy may appear, he
- 36:52Speaker 7: with a puiscant army, came to Spain and took our
- 36:55Speaker 7: King of Castile prisoner.
- 36:57Speaker 9: This is an argument for our viceroy that Spain may
- 37:00Speaker 9: not insult for her success, since English warriors likewise conquered
- 37:03Speaker 9: Spain and made them bow their knees to Albion.
- 37:06Speaker 16: Eeronimo, I drink to thee for this device, which hath
- 37:10Speaker 16: pleased both the ambassador and me pledged me. Heeronimo, if
- 37:15Speaker 16: thou love thy.
- 37:16Speaker 1: King takes the cup of Horatio.
- 37:19Speaker 16: My Lord, I fear we see but over long unless
- 37:22Speaker 16: our dangers were more delicate. But welcome are you to
- 37:26Speaker 16: the best we have? Now let us in that you
- 37:29Speaker 16: may be dispatched. I think our counsel is already set.
- 37:33Speaker 1: Accient omnis seam sex, ghost of Andrea revenge.
- 37:42Speaker 2: Oh come we for this from depth of underground to
- 37:47Speaker 2: see him feast that gave me my death's wound. These
- 37:53Speaker 2: pleasant sights are sorrow to my soul, nothing but league
- 38:00Speaker 2: and love and banqueting. Oh come we for this from
- 38:08Speaker 2: depth of underground, to see him feast that gave me
- 38:12Speaker 2: my death's wound. These pleasant sights are sorrow to my soul,
- 38:20Speaker 2: nothing but league and love and banqueting.
- 38:26Speaker 15: Be still, Andrea, Here we go. From hence I'll turn
- 38:29Speaker 15: their friendship into fell despite their love to mortal hate,
- 38:34Speaker 15: their day to night, their hope into despair, their peace
- 38:39Speaker 15: to war, their joys to pain, their bliss to misery.
- 38:45Speaker 1: And of Act one, Act Too of the Spanish Tragedy.
- 39:00Speaker 1: This LibriVox recording is in the public domain. The Spanish
- 39:05Speaker 1: Tragedy by Thomas Kidd, Act Too, Scene one, Enter Lorenzo
- 39:12Speaker 1: and Balthazar.
- 39:14Speaker 10: My Lord, though bel imperious seem thus coy let reason
- 39:18Speaker 10: huld you in your wonted joy. In time, the savage
- 39:21Speaker 10: bulls stains the yoke. In time, all haggard hawks will
- 39:25Speaker 10: stoop to lure. In time, small wedges cleave the hardest oak.
- 39:30Speaker 10: In time the flint is pierced with softest shower, And she,
- 39:34Speaker 10: in time will fall from her disdain and rue the
- 39:38Speaker 10: sufferance of your friendly pain.
- 39:41Speaker 18: No, she is wilder and more hard withal than beast,
- 39:45Speaker 18: or bird, or tree or stony wall. But wherefore blot
- 39:49Speaker 18: I bel Imperia's name. It is my fault, not she
- 39:53Speaker 18: that merits blame. My feature is not to content her sight.
- 39:58Speaker 18: My words are rude, and work her no delight. The
- 40:01Speaker 18: lines I send her are but harsh and ill, such
- 40:05Speaker 18: as do drop from pan and marciest quill. My presents
- 40:08Speaker 18: are not of sufficient cost, and being worthless, all my
- 40:12Speaker 18: labor's lost. Yet might she love me for my valiancy, aye,
- 40:17Speaker 18: but that slandered by captivity? Yet might she love me
- 40:22Speaker 18: to content her sire?
- 40:23Speaker 19: Ay?
- 40:24Speaker 18: But her reason masters her desire? Yet might she love
- 40:28Speaker 18: me as her brother's friend?
- 40:30Speaker 20: Ay?
- 40:30Speaker 18: But her hopes aim at some other end? Yet might
- 40:34Speaker 18: she love me to uprear her state. Aye, but perhaps
- 40:37Speaker 18: she hopes some nobler mate. Yet might she love me
- 40:41Speaker 18: as her beauty's thrall Ay? But I fear she cannot
- 40:46Speaker 18: love it all?
- 40:47Speaker 10: My Lord, for my sake, leave this ecstasy and doubt not,
- 40:51Speaker 10: but will find some remedy. Some cause there is that
- 40:54Speaker 10: lets you not be lov'd? First that must needs be
- 40:58Speaker 10: known and then remov'd. What if my sister loves some other.
- 41:02Speaker 18: Night, my summer's day will turn to winter's night.
- 41:06Speaker 10: I have already found a stratagem to sound the bottom
- 41:09Speaker 10: of this doubtful theme, my lord, for once you shall
- 41:13Speaker 10: be ruled by me. Hinder me not what e'er you
- 41:16Speaker 10: hear or see, by force or fair means, will I
- 41:19Speaker 10: cast about to find the truth of all this question
- 41:23Speaker 10: out ho Pedringano.
- 41:26Speaker 1: Signor the enquipresto enter Pedringano.
- 41:30Speaker 11: Hath your lordship any service to command me.
- 41:33Speaker 10: I pedringano service of import, and not to spend the
- 41:38Speaker 10: time in trifling words. Thus stands the case. It is
- 41:42Speaker 10: not long thou know'st since I did shield thee from
- 41:45Speaker 10: my father's wrath for thy conveyance in Andrea's love, for
- 41:49Speaker 10: which thou wert adjudg'd to punishment. I stood betwixt THEE
- 41:54Speaker 10: and thy punishment. And since thou know'st how I have
- 41:57Speaker 10: favored THEE. Now to these favors, will I add reward,
- 42:01Speaker 10: not with fair words, but store of golden coin and
- 42:05Speaker 10: lands and living, join with dignities. If thou but satisfy
- 42:09Speaker 10: my just demand, tell truth and have me for thy
- 42:13Speaker 10: lasting friend.
- 42:15Speaker 11: Whate'er it be, your lordship shall demand my bound and
- 42:18Speaker 11: duty bids me tell the truth. If case it lie
- 42:20Speaker 11: in me to tell.
- 42:21Speaker 10: The truth, then Pedringano, this is my demand. Whom loves
- 42:26Speaker 10: my sister bel Imperia, for she reposeth all her trust
- 42:30Speaker 10: in THEE, Speak man and gain both friendship and reward.
- 42:34Speaker 10: I mean whom loves she in Andrea's.
- 42:36Speaker 11: Place alas my lord. Since don Andrea's death, I have
- 42:40Speaker 11: no credit with her as before, and therefore know not
- 42:43Speaker 11: if she love.
- 42:44Speaker 3: Or no nay.
- 42:45Speaker 10: If thou dali, then I am thy foe draws his
- 42:49Speaker 10: sword and fear shall force what friendship cannot win. Thy
- 42:53Speaker 10: death shall bury what thy life conceals. Thou diest for
- 42:57Speaker 10: more esteeming her than me.
- 42:59Speaker 11: Oh, stay, my lord.
- 43:01Speaker 10: Yet speak the truth, and I will girden THEE and
- 43:04Speaker 10: shield THEE from whatever can ensue, and will conceal whatever
- 43:08Speaker 10: proceeds from THEE. But if thou daly once again, thou diest.
- 43:12Speaker 11: If Madame bel Imperia be in love.
- 43:14Speaker 10: What villain? If san An's oh stay, my.
- 43:17Speaker 11: Lord, she loves Horatio.
- 43:19Speaker 1: Balthazar starts back.
- 43:21Speaker 10: What don Horatio, our knight.
- 43:23Speaker 11: Martial son, even him?
- 43:25Speaker 10: My lord now say? But how knowest thou he is
- 43:28Speaker 10: her love? And thou shalt find me kind and liberal?
- 43:31Speaker 10: Stand up? I say, and fearlest tell the truth.
- 43:35Speaker 11: She sent him letters which myself perused, full fraught with
- 43:38Speaker 11: lines and arguments of love, preferring him before Prince Balthasar, swear.
- 43:43Speaker 10: On this cross that what thou sayest is true, and
- 43:46Speaker 10: that thou wilt conceal what thou hast told.
- 43:48Speaker 11: I swear to both by him that made us all in.
- 43:51Speaker 10: Hope thou othest true. Here is thy reward. But if
- 43:54Speaker 10: I prove THEE perjured and unjust, this very sword whereon
- 43:59Speaker 10: thou took'st thine own shall be the worker of thy tragedy.
- 44:02Speaker 11: What I have said is true, and shall for me
- 44:05Speaker 11: be still concealed from bel Imperia. Besides your honor's liberality
- 44:10Speaker 11: deserves my duty of service even till death.
- 44:14Speaker 10: Let this be all that thou shalt do for me.
- 44:16Speaker 10: Be watchful when and where these lovers meet, and give
- 44:19Speaker 10: me notice in some secret.
- 44:21Speaker 11: Sort I will, my Lord.
- 44:23Speaker 10: Then shalt thou find that I am liberal? Thou knowest
- 44:26Speaker 10: that I can more advance thy state than she be
- 44:29Speaker 10: therefore wise and fail me not go and attend her
- 44:33Speaker 10: as thy custom is, lest absence make her think thou dost.
- 44:37Speaker 1: Amiss except Pedrigano.
- 44:40Speaker 10: Why so tam armis quam ingenio. Where words prevail, not
- 44:45Speaker 10: violence prevails, but gold doth more than either of them.
- 44:49Speaker 10: Both how likes Prince Baltazar.
- 44:52Speaker 18: This stratagem both well and ill. It makes me glad
- 44:56Speaker 18: and sad. Glad that I know the winder of my love,
- 45:02Speaker 18: Sad that I fear she hates me whom I love,
- 45:05Speaker 18: Glad that I know on whom to be revenged, Sad
- 45:09Speaker 18: that she'll fly me if I take revenge. Yet must
- 45:14Speaker 18: I take revenge or die myself? For love resisted grows impatient?
- 45:20Speaker 18: I think Horatio be my destined plague. First in his
- 45:24Speaker 18: hand he brandished a sword, and with that sword he
- 45:28Speaker 18: fiercely waged war. And in that war he gave me
- 45:32Speaker 18: dangerous wounds, and by those wounds he forced me to yield,
- 45:36Speaker 18: And by my yielding I became his slave. Now in
- 45:41Speaker 18: his mouth he carries pleasing words, which pleasing words do
- 45:45Speaker 18: harbor sweet conceits, which sweet conceits are lim'd with sly deceits,
- 45:51Speaker 18: which sly deceits smooth bell imperious ears, And through her
- 45:57Speaker 18: ears dive down into her heart, and in her heart
- 46:01Speaker 18: set him where I should stand. Thus hath he tae
- 46:06Speaker 18: in my body by his force, and now by slight
- 46:09Speaker 18: would captivate my soul. But in his fall I'll tempt
- 46:15Speaker 18: the destinies and either lose my life or win my love.
- 46:20Speaker 10: Let's go, my lord, your staying stays revenge. Do you
- 46:23Speaker 10: but follow me and gain your love? Her favor must
- 46:27Speaker 10: be won by his.
- 46:28Speaker 1: Remove accient scene too, Enter Horatio and bel Imperia.
- 46:36Speaker 19: Now, madam, since by favor of your love, our hidden
- 46:41Speaker 19: smoke is turned to open flame, and that with looks
- 46:45Speaker 19: and words we feed our thought to chief contents where
- 46:49Speaker 19: more cannot be had. Thus, in the midst of love's
- 46:52Speaker 19: fair blandishments, why show you sign of inward languishments?
- 46:57Speaker 1: Pedroun Gano showeth all to the Prince and Lorenzo, placing
- 47:00Speaker 1: them in secret.
- 47:02Speaker 4: My heart, sweet friend, is like a ship at sea.
- 47:05Speaker 4: She wisheth port where, riding all at ease, she may
- 47:09Speaker 4: repair what stormy times have worn, and, leaning on the shore,
- 47:13Speaker 4: may sing with joy that pleasure follows pain and bliss anoy.
- 47:18Speaker 4: Possession of thy love is the only port wherein my heart,
- 47:22Speaker 4: with fears and hopes long tossed each hour, doth wish
- 47:27Speaker 4: and long to make resort there, to repair the joys
- 47:31Speaker 4: that it hath lost, and sitting safe to sing in
- 47:34Speaker 4: Cupid's choir, that sweetest bliss is crown of love's desire.
- 47:39Speaker 1: Balthazar and Lorenzo above.
- 47:42Speaker 18: Oh, sleep mine eyes see not my love, profan'd be deaf?
- 47:47Speaker 18: My ears bear not my discontent? Die heart and other joys?
- 47:53Speaker 18: What thou deservest?
- 47:54Speaker 4: Why stands Horatio speechless?
- 47:56Speaker 5: All this?
- 47:57Speaker 19: While the less I speak more ameditate?
- 48:01Speaker 4: But whereon dost thou chiefly meditate.
- 48:04Speaker 19: On dangerous past and pleasures to ensue, on pleasures past
- 48:10Speaker 19: and dangers to ensue?
- 48:13Speaker 7: What dangers?
- 48:14Speaker 4: What pleasures dost thou mean?
- 48:16Speaker 19: Dangers of war and pleasures of our love?
- 48:21Speaker 10: Dangers of death, but pleasures none at all.
- 48:25Speaker 4: Let dangers go. Thy war shall be with me, But
- 48:28Speaker 4: such a war as breaks no bond of peace. Speak
- 48:32Speaker 4: thou fair words, I'll cross them with fair words. Send
- 48:36Speaker 4: thou sweet looks, I'll meet them with sweet looks. Write
- 48:41Speaker 4: loving lines. I'll answer loving lines. Give me a kiss,
- 48:46Speaker 4: I'll counter check thy kiss. Be this our warring peace
- 48:51Speaker 4: or peaceful.
- 48:52Speaker 19: War, But gracious madam, Then appoint the field where trial
- 48:57Speaker 19: of this war shall first be.
- 48:59Speaker 18: Made, ambitious villain, how his baldness grows.
- 49:04Speaker 4: Then be thy father's pleasant bower, the field where first
- 49:08Speaker 4: we vowed a mutual amity. The court were dangerous. That
- 49:12Speaker 4: place is safe. Our hour shall be when vesper begins
- 49:16Speaker 4: to rise, that summons home distressful travelers. Then none shall
- 49:22Speaker 4: hear us, but the harmless birds harply. The gentle nightingale
- 49:27Speaker 4: shall carol us asleep. Eer we beware, and singing with
- 49:32Speaker 4: the prickle at her breast, Tell our delight and mirthful dalliance,
- 49:38Speaker 4: till then each hour will seem a year and more.
- 49:42Speaker 19: But homehy, sweet and honorable love. Return we now into
- 49:46Speaker 19: your father's sight. Dangerous suspicion waits on our delight.
- 49:51Speaker 10: Aye, danger mixed with jealous despite shall send thy soul
- 49:56Speaker 10: into eternal night.
- 49:59Speaker 1: Se enter the King of Spain, Portingal Ambassador don Cyprian
- 50:05Speaker 1: et cetera.
- 50:06Speaker 16: Brother of Castil to the Prince's love. What says your
- 50:10Speaker 16: daughter bel imperium.
- 50:12Speaker 3: Although she quieth as becomes her kind, and yet dissemble
- 50:17Speaker 3: that she loves the Prince? I doubt not ay, but
- 50:21Speaker 3: she will stoop in time and where she frowed, which
- 50:25Speaker 3: she will not be yet herein shall she follow my advice,
- 50:29Speaker 3: which is to love him or forego my love?
- 50:34Speaker 16: Then, Lord Ambassador of Portigal, advised thy King to make
- 50:38Speaker 16: this marriage up for strengthening of our late confirmed league.
- 50:43Speaker 16: I know no better means to make us friends. Her
- 50:46Speaker 16: dowry shall be large and liberal. Besides that she is
- 50:50Speaker 16: daughter and half heir unto our brotherhood don Cyprian, and
- 50:55Speaker 16: shall enjoy the mighty of his land. I'll grace her
- 50:58Speaker 16: marriage with an uncle's gift. And this it is in
- 51:02Speaker 16: case the match go forward, the tribute which you pay
- 51:06Speaker 16: shall be released, and if by Baltazar she have a son,
- 51:11Speaker 16: he shall enjoy the kingdom after us.
- 51:14Speaker 9: I'll make the motion to my sovereign liege and work
- 51:17Speaker 9: it if my counsel may prevail.
- 51:19Speaker 16: Do so, my lord, And if he give consent, I
- 51:23Speaker 16: hope his presence here will honor us in celebration of
- 51:26Speaker 16: the nuptial day, and let himself determine of the time.
- 51:31Speaker 9: Will please your grace to command me beside.
- 51:34Speaker 16: Command me to the king, and so farewell. But where's
- 51:38Speaker 16: Prince Baltasar to take his leave?
- 51:40Speaker 9: That is performed already, my good lord.
- 51:42Speaker 16: Amongst the rest of what you have in charge, the
- 51:45Speaker 16: princess ransom must not be forgot. That's none of mine
- 51:50Speaker 16: but his that took him prisoner, and well, his forwardness
- 51:54Speaker 16: deserves reward. It was horachel, our knight Marshal's son.
- 51:59Speaker 9: Between us. There's a price already pitched and shall be
- 52:01Speaker 9: sent with all convenient speed.
- 52:04Speaker 16: Then once again, farewell, my lord.
- 52:06Speaker 9: Farewell, my lord of Castile, and the rest.
- 52:09Speaker 16: Except no brother. You must take some little pains to
- 52:13Speaker 16: win fair bel Imperia from her will. Young virgins must
- 52:17Speaker 16: be ruled by their friends. The Prince is aimable and
- 52:21Speaker 16: loves her well. If she neglects him and forego his love,
- 52:26Speaker 16: she both will wrong her own estate and ours. Therefore,
- 52:31Speaker 16: whilst I do entertain the Prince with great displeasure that
- 52:34Speaker 16: our court affords, endeavor you to win your daughter's thought.
- 52:39Speaker 16: If she give back, all this will come to no.

- 53:11Speaker 19: Why make it doubt of Pedrigano's faith.
- 53:14Speaker 4: No, he is as trusty as my second self. Go Pedrongano,
- 53:20Speaker 4: watch without the gate and let us know if any make.
- 53:23Speaker 1: Approach Pedergano aside.
- 53:27Speaker 11: Instead of watching, I'll deserve more gold by fetching Don
- 53:31Speaker 11: Lorenzo to this match.
- 53:33Speaker 1: Except Pedernano, what means my love?
- 53:36Speaker 4: I know not what myself, and yet my heart foretells

- 54:28Speaker 19: How the birds recall by night for joy that bel
- 54:32Speaker 19: Imperia sits in sight.
- 54:34Speaker 4: No Cupid counterfeits the nightingale to frame sweet music to
- 54:39Speaker 4: Horatio's tale.
- 54:41Speaker 19: If Cupid sing, then Venus is not far. I thou
- 54:45Speaker 19: art Venus or some fair star.
- 54:48Speaker 4: If I be Venus, thou must needs be Mars, And

- 1:01:22Speaker 7: It was a man, sure that was hanged up here,
- 1:01:25Speaker 7: a youth, as I remember, I cut him down. If

- 1:01:44Speaker 22: drop all your stings at once in my cold bosom
- 1:01:46Speaker 22: that now is stiff with horror. Kill me quickly, be
- 1:01:51Speaker 22: gracious to me, thou infective knight, and drop this deed
- 1:01:54Speaker 22: of murder down on me in my waiste of grief,
- 1:01:57Speaker 22: with thy large darkness, and I mean not survive to

- 1:02:25Speaker 21: once these eyes were only my delight.

- 1:02:33Speaker 7: from me till I take revenge.
- 1:02:35Speaker 16: Seest thou.
- 1:02:36Speaker 7: Those wounds that yet are bleeding fresh, I'll not entomb

- 1:02:53Speaker 21: the author both of truth and right, and time will
- 1:02:56Speaker 21: bring this treachery to light.
- 1:02:59Speaker 7: Meanwhile, good Isabella, cease thy plans, or at the least

- 1:06:22Speaker 6: waves with sundry winds, as fortune toileth. In the affairs
- 1:06:25Speaker 6: of kings that would be feared, yet fear to be
- 1:06:28Speaker 6: beloved sith fear or love to kings is flattery. For instance, Lordings,
- 1:06:34Speaker 6: look upon your king by hate, deprived of his dearest son,
- 1:06:38Speaker 6: the only hope of our successive line.
- 1:06:41Speaker 14: I had not thought that Alexandro's heart had been enveloped
- 1:06:44Speaker 14: with such extreme hate. But now I see that words
- 1:06:47Speaker 14: have several works, and there's no credit in the countenance.
- 1:06:51Speaker 20: No for my lord, had you beheld the train that
- 1:06:54Speaker 20: feigned love, had cowered in his looks when he in
- 1:06:56Speaker 20: camp and sorted Balphazzar, far more in constant, had you
- 1:06:59Speaker 20: thought the sun on it hourly coast the center of
- 1:07:01Speaker 20: the earth, than Alexandra's purpose to the prince.
- 1:07:04Speaker 6: No more, Villopol, thou hast said enough, and with thy
- 1:07:07Speaker 6: words thou slayest our wounded thoughts. Nor shall I longer
- 1:07:11Speaker 6: dully with the world procrastinating Alexandra's death. Go some of
- 1:07:15Speaker 6: you and fetch the traitor forth, that as he is
- 1:07:18Speaker 6: condemned he may die.
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: Enter Alexandro with a nobleman and Halberts.
- 1:07:24Speaker 23: In such extremes will naught for patience, sirve.
- 1:07:27Speaker 3: But in extremes, what patience shall I use? Nor discontents
- 1:07:31Speaker 3: it me to leave the world with whom then nothing
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: can prevail but wrong.
- 1:07:36Speaker 23: Yet, hope the best.
- 1:07:38Speaker 3: Tis Heaven is my hope. As for the earth, it
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: is too much infect to ye'll be hope of any
- 1:07:44Speaker 3: of hermould.
- 1:07:45Speaker 6: Why linger ye bring forth that daring fiend and let
- 1:07:49Speaker 6: him die for his accursed deed.
- 1:07:51Speaker 3: Not that I fear the extremity of death, for nobles
- 1:07:54Speaker 3: cannot stoop to serve our fear, do I, O, king,
- 1:07:58Speaker 3: thus discontideredly? But this owes, this torments my laboring soul,
- 1:08:04Speaker 3: that thus I die, I suspect that of a sin,
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: whereof as heavens have known my secret thoughts, so am
- 1:08:11Speaker 3: I free from this suggestion.
- 1:08:13Speaker 6: No more, I say to the tortures, when bind him
- 1:08:17Speaker 6: and burn his body in.
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: Those flames, they bind him to the stake that.
- 1:08:21Speaker 6: Shall prefigure those unquenched fires of Fledgathon prepared for his soul.
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: My goutless death will be avenged on thee on thee
- 1:08:31Speaker 3: Viluppo that hath maliced thus or for thy meed has
- 1:08:35Speaker 3: falsely me accused.
- 1:08:37Speaker 20: Yay, Alexandro, If thou menace me, I'll lend a hand
- 1:08:40Speaker 20: to send thee to the lake, where those thy words
- 1:08:42Speaker 20: shall perish with thy works injurious traitor monstrous homicide.
- 1:08:48Speaker 9: Enter, Ambassador, stay hold awhile, and here, with pardon of
- 1:08:53Speaker 9: his Majesty, lay hands upon Volupo.
- 1:08:56Speaker 6: Ambassador, What news hath urged this sudden entrance?
- 1:09:00Speaker 9: Know soveign loud that Balthazar doth live?
- 1:09:03Speaker 6: What sayest thou liveth Balthozar, our son.
- 1:09:07Speaker 9: Your Highness's son, Lor Balthozar doth live and well entreated
- 1:09:11Speaker 9: in the court of Spain, humbly commends him to your Majesty.
- 1:09:15Speaker 9: These eyes beheld, and these my followers. With these the
- 1:09:19Speaker 9: letters of the King's.
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: Commends, gives him letters are.
- 1:09:23Speaker 9: Happy witnesses of his Highness's health.
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: The King looks on the letters and proceeds, Thy.
- 1:09:29Speaker 6: Son doth live. Your tribute is received, Thy piece is made,
- 1:09:34Speaker 6: and we are satisfied. The rest resolve upon us things
- 1:09:37Speaker 6: propos'd for both our honors and thy benefit.
- 1:09:40Speaker 9: These are his Highness's father articles.
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: He gives him more letters.
- 1:09:45Speaker 6: A cursed wretch to intimate these ills against the life
- 1:09:48Speaker 6: and reputation of Noble Alexandro. Come, my lord, unbind him.
- 1:09:53Speaker 6: Let him unbind thee that is bound to death to
- 1:09:56Speaker 6: make acquittal for thy discontent.
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: They unbind him.
- 1:10:00Speaker 3: Read, Lord, in kindness, you could do no less upon
- 1:10:03Speaker 3: report of such a damned fact. But thus we see
- 1:10:07Speaker 3: our innocence. Hath saved the hopeless life which thou, Muluppo,
- 1:10:11Speaker 3: sought by thy suggestions to have massacred.
- 1:10:14Speaker 6: Say false Villoppo, wherefore didst thou thus falsely betray Lord
- 1:10:18Speaker 6: Alexandro's life, him whom thou knowest that no unkindness else
- 1:10:23Speaker 6: but even the slaughter of our dearest son, could once
- 1:10:26Speaker 6: have moved us to have misconceived.
- 1:10:28Speaker 3: Say treacherous Viluppo. Tell the king, wherein hath Alexandro use.
- 1:10:33Speaker 20: The ill read with remembrance of so far agi, my
- 1:10:36Speaker 20: guilty soul submiss me to thy doom, for not for
- 1:10:40Speaker 20: Alexandro's injuries, but for reward and hope to be preferred.
- 1:10:44Speaker 20: Thus I have shamelessly hazarded his life.
- 1:10:46Speaker 6: Which villain shall be ransomed with thy death, and not
- 1:10:50Speaker 6: so mean a torment as we here devised for him,
- 1:10:52Speaker 6: who thou saidst slew our son, but with the bitterest
- 1:10:55Speaker 6: torments and extremes that may be yet invented for thine end.
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: Alexandro seems to.
- 1:11:01Speaker 6: Entreat, entreat me, not go take the traitor.
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: Hence acceit filoupo.
- 1:11:07Speaker 6: And Alexandro, let us honor thee with public notice of
- 1:11:10Speaker 6: thy loyalty. To end those things articulated here by our
- 1:11:15Speaker 6: gread lord, the mighty King of Spain. We, with our council,
- 1:11:18Speaker 6: will deliber it. Come Alexandro, keep us company.
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: Accient scene too, enter hieronimo.
- 1:11:27Speaker 7: O eyes, no eyes but fountains fraught with tears. O life,
- 1:11:33Speaker 7: no life but lively form of death. O world, no
- 1:11:38Speaker 7: world but mass of public wrongs, confused and filled with
- 1:11:41Speaker 7: murder and misdeeds, Oh, sacred heavens. If this unhallowed deed,
- 1:11:46Speaker 7: if this inhuman and barbarous attempt, if this incomparable murder,
- 1:11:50Speaker 7: thus of mine, but now no more my son shall
- 1:11:53Speaker 7: unrevealed an unrevenged pass. How should we term your dealings
- 1:11:58Speaker 7: to be just? If you unjust deal with those that
- 1:12:01Speaker 7: in your justice trust The knight, sad secretary to my moans,
- 1:12:06Speaker 7: with direful visions, wakes my vexed soul, and with the
- 1:12:09Speaker 7: wounds of my distressful son, solicits me for notice of
- 1:12:12Speaker 7: his death. The ugly fiends do sally forth of hell,
- 1:12:17Speaker 7: and frame my steps to unfrequented paths, and fear my
- 1:12:20Speaker 7: heart with fierce inflamed thoughts. The cloudy day my discontents
- 1:12:24Speaker 7: records early begins to register my dreams, and drive me
- 1:12:28Speaker 7: forth to seek the murderer eyes life, world, heavens, hell,
- 1:12:33Speaker 7: night and day, see search shoe, send some man, Some
- 1:12:37Speaker 7: mean that may a letter falleth? What's here? A letter? Tush?
- 1:12:42Speaker 7: It is not so? A letter written to Hieronimo.
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: Red ink for want of ink.
- 1:12:49Speaker 7: Receive this bloody writ me, hath, my hapless brother hid
- 1:12:52Speaker 7: from thee. Revenge thyself on Batho's eye and hem, for
- 1:12:56Speaker 7: these were they that murdered thy son, Hieronimo. Revenge Herrasio's
- 1:13:00Speaker 7: death and better fare than bel imperior? Doth what means
- 1:13:04Speaker 7: this unexpected miracle? My son slain by Lorenzo and the Prince?
- 1:13:09Speaker 7: What cause had they Heratio to malign O? What might
- 1:13:13Speaker 7: move thee bel Imperia to accuse thy brother had he
- 1:13:16Speaker 7: been the mien Hieronimo, Beware thou art betrayed and to
- 1:13:21Speaker 7: entrap thy life. This train is laid. Advise THEE therefore
- 1:13:26Speaker 7: be not credulous. This is devised to endanger thee that thou,
- 1:13:31Speaker 7: by this, Lorenzo shouldest accuse, and he for thy dishonor done,
- 1:13:36Speaker 7: should draw thy life in question in thy name and
- 1:13:38Speaker 7: hate dear was the life of my beloved son, and
- 1:13:42Speaker 7: of his death behooves me be revenged. Then has it
- 1:13:46Speaker 7: not thine own, Hieronimo, but live to effect thy resolution?
- 1:13:51Speaker 7: I therefore will, by circumstances try what I can gather
- 1:13:55Speaker 7: to confirm this writ And hearkening near the Duke of
- 1:13:58Speaker 7: Castile's house, I can, with bel Imperior to listen more,
- 1:14:03Speaker 7: but nothing.
- 1:14:04Speaker 19: To be ray.
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: Enter pedron Gano.
- 1:14:07Speaker 7: Now Pedrongano, Now Hiroonimo. Where's thy lady?
- 1:14:12Speaker 11: I know not, here's my lord?
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: Enter Lorenzo.
- 1:14:16Speaker 10: How No, who's this Hieronimo?
- 1:14:19Speaker 7: My lord?
- 1:14:20Speaker 11: He asketh for my lady bell Imperia.
- 1:14:22Speaker 10: What to do, Hieronimo? The Duke my father hath upon
- 1:14:26Speaker 10: some disgrace or why I removed her? Hence, but if
- 1:14:29Speaker 10: it be aught, I may inform her of tell me Hieronimo,
- 1:14:32Speaker 10: and I let her know it.
- 1:14:33Speaker 7: Nay, nay, my Lord, I thank you. It shall not need.
- 1:14:37Speaker 7: I had a suit unto her, but too late, and
- 1:14:39Speaker 7: her disgrace makes me unfortunate.
- 1:14:41Speaker 10: Why so Hieronimo use me?
- 1:14:43Speaker 7: Oh no, my lord, I dare not. It must not be.
- 1:14:47Speaker 7: I humbly thank your lordship.
- 1:14:48Speaker 10: Why then, farewell my grief.
- 1:14:51Speaker 7: No heart, my thoughts, no tongue can tell.
- 1:14:55Speaker 10: Accept Come hither, Pedron Gano seest.
- 1:14:58Speaker 11: Thou this, my lord, I see it and suspect it too.
- 1:15:02Speaker 10: This is that damned villain Serberine, that hath I fear
- 1:15:06Speaker 10: revealed Horatio's death.
- 1:15:08Speaker 11: My lord, he could not twas so lately done. And
- 1:15:11Speaker 11: since he hath not left.
- 1:15:12Speaker 10: My company, admit he have not. His conditions, such as
- 1:15:16Speaker 10: fear or flattering words, may make him false. I know
- 1:15:20Speaker 10: his humor, and therewith repent that e're I used him
- 1:15:23Speaker 10: in this enterprise. But pedring Gallo to prevent the worst,
- 1:15:28Speaker 10: and because I know thee secret as my soul. Here
- 1:15:30Speaker 10: for thy further satisfaction, take thou.
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: This gives him more gold, and hearken to me.
- 1:15:37Speaker 10: Thus it is devised, this knight. Thou must and prithee
- 1:15:40Speaker 10: so resolve meet Serberreen at Saint Luigi's Park. Thou know'st
- 1:15:45Speaker 10: tis here hard by behind the house. There, Take thy
- 1:15:49Speaker 10: stand and see thou strike him sure for die, he
- 1:15:53Speaker 10: must if we do mean to live.
- 1:15:55Speaker 11: But how shall Serbarein be there? My Lord?
- 1:15:58Speaker 10: Let me alone. I'll send to him to meet the
- 1:16:00Speaker 10: Prince and me where thou must do this deed.
- 1:16:03Speaker 11: It shall be done, my lord, it shall be done,
- 1:16:06Speaker 11: and I'll go arm myself to meet him there.
- 1:16:08Speaker 10: When things shall alter, as I hope they will, then
- 1:16:11Speaker 10: shalt thou mount for this thou know'st my mind.
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: Exit pedron Gano.
- 1:16:16Speaker 10: Cala ylleron enter page.
- 1:16:20Speaker 12: My Lord, go Sirrah.
- 1:16:22Speaker 10: To Serberine and bid him forthwith meet the Prince and
- 1:16:25Speaker 10: me at Saint Luigi's park behind the house this evening, boy,
- 1:16:29Speaker 10: I go, my lord, But Sirrah, let the hour be
- 1:16:33Speaker 10: eight o'clock. Bid him not fail.
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: I fly, my lord, except now.
- 1:16:39Speaker 10: To confirm the complot thou hast cast of all these practices.
- 1:16:43Speaker 10: I'll spread the watch, upon precise commandment from the King
- 1:16:47Speaker 10: strongly to guard the place where Pedringano, this knight shall
- 1:16:51Speaker 10: murder hapless Serberine. Thus must we work that will avoid distrust.
- 1:16:56Speaker 10: Thus must we practice to prevent mishap. And thus one
- 1:16:59Speaker 10: ill another must expulse thisly inquiry of Hieronimo for bel
- 1:17:04Speaker 10: Imperia breeds suspicion, and this suspicion bodes a further ill.
- 1:17:09Speaker 10: As for myself, I know my secret fault, and so
- 1:17:12Speaker 10: do they. But I have dealt for them. They that
- 1:17:15Speaker 10: for coin, their souls endangered. To save my life for coin,
- 1:17:19Speaker 10: shall venture theirs and better its that base companions die
- 1:17:23Speaker 10: than by their life to hazard are goodhaps, Nor shall
- 1:17:26Speaker 10: they live for me to fear their faith. I'll trust myself.
- 1:17:30Speaker 10: Myself shall be my friend. For die they shall. Slaves
- 1:17:35Speaker 10: are ordained to no other end.
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: Scene three, enter Pedrongano with a pistole.
- 1:17:43Speaker 11: Now Pedringano, bid thy pistol, hold and hold on fortune
- 1:17:47Speaker 11: once more. Favor me, give but success to mine attempting spirit,
- 1:17:52Speaker 11: and let me shift for taking of mine aim. Here
- 1:17:55Speaker 11: is the gold. This is the gold proposed. It is
- 1:17:58Speaker 11: no dream that I adventure for. But Pedringano is possessed thereof.
- 1:18:02Speaker 11: And he that would not strain his conscience for him
- 1:18:05Speaker 11: that thus his liberal purse hath stretched unworthy such a
- 1:18:08Speaker 11: favor may he fail and wishing want when such as
- 1:18:12Speaker 11: I prevail. As for the fear of apprehension, I know,
- 1:18:16Speaker 11: if need should be, my noble Lord will stand between
- 1:18:18Speaker 11: me and ensuing harms. Besides, this place is free from
- 1:18:22Speaker 11: all suspect here therefore, will I stay and take my
- 1:18:25Speaker 11: stand enter the watch.
- 1:18:28Speaker 3: We wonder much to what intent it is that we
- 1:18:31Speaker 3: are those expressly charged to watch.
- 1:18:34Speaker 8: Tis by commandment in the king's own name.
- 1:18:38Speaker 20: But we were never wont to watch and ward so
- 1:18:40Speaker 20: near the duke his brother's house.
- 1:18:42Speaker 8: Before content yourself stand close this some odd ain't enter.
- 1:18:49Speaker 24: Serbareen, hey, sabareen, attend and stay thy pace, For here
- 1:18:54Speaker 24: did don Larentiu's page a point that thou, by his
- 1:18:57Speaker 24: command shouldst meet with him? How a place if one
- 1:19:01Speaker 24: were so disposed. Methinks this corner is too close with one.
- 1:19:06Speaker 11: Here comes the bird that I must seize upon. Now
- 1:19:08Speaker 11: pedron gano or never play the man.
- 1:19:11Speaker 24: I wonder that his lordship stays so long? Or wherefore
- 1:19:15Speaker 24: should he send for me so late?
- 1:19:17Speaker 11: For this submarine?
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: And now shalt have it shoots the dag so there
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: he lies.
- 1:19:23Speaker 11: My promise is performed.
- 1:19:25Speaker 3: Oh gentlemen, this is a Bristol shot.
- 1:19:29Speaker 8: And here is one slain. Stay the murderer.
- 1:19:33Speaker 11: Now, by the sorrows of the souls in.
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: Hell he strives with the watch who.
- 1:19:38Speaker 11: First lays hands on me? I'll be his.
- 1:19:40Speaker 20: Priest, Srah, confess, and there imply the priest. Why hast
- 1:19:45Speaker 20: thou unkindly killed the man?
- 1:19:47Speaker 11: Why because he walked abroad so late?
- 1:19:50Speaker 20: Come, sir, you had better kept your bed than have committed.
- 1:19:53Speaker 10: His misdeed so late.
- 1:19:55Speaker 8: Come to the marshals with the murderer.
- 1:20:00Speaker 3: Hieronimo's hint me here to bring the murdered Boody with us.
- 1:20:04Speaker 11: Do Hieronimo carry me before whom you will, whatever he be,
- 1:20:09Speaker 11: I'll answer him and you and do your worst, for
- 1:20:13Speaker 11: I defy.
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: You all accient. Scene four, Enter Lorenzo and Balthazar.
- 1:20:21Speaker 18: How now, my lord? What makes you rise so.
- 1:20:23Speaker 10: Soon fear of preventing armshaps too late?
- 1:20:27Speaker 18: What mischief is it that we not mistrust.
- 1:20:29Speaker 10: Our greatest tales? We least mistrust, my lord, and inexpected
- 1:20:33Speaker 10: harms do hurt us most?
- 1:20:35Speaker 18: Why tell me, Don Lorenzo, tell me man if aught
- 1:20:39Speaker 18: concerns our honor and your.
- 1:20:40Speaker 10: Own, Nor you nor me, my lord, but both in one.
- 1:20:44Speaker 10: For I suspect, and the presumption's great that by those
- 1:20:47Speaker 10: base confederates in our fault touching the death of Don Horatio,
- 1:20:50Speaker 10: we are betrayed to old.
- 1:20:52Speaker 18: Hieronimo betrayed Lorenzo tush. It cannot be.
- 1:20:56Speaker 10: A guilty conscience urge with the thought of former evil
- 1:21:00Speaker 10: easily cannot err. I am persuaded, and persuade me not
- 1:21:04Speaker 10: that all's revealed to Heronimo, and therefore know that I
- 1:21:08Speaker 10: have cast it.
- 1:21:08Speaker 1: Thus enter page.
- 1:21:11Speaker 10: But here's the page. How now what news.
- 1:21:13Speaker 12: With thee my lord Serberine is slain?
- 1:21:17Speaker 18: Who Serberen?
- 1:21:19Speaker 12: My man, your highness is men my lord speak page?
- 1:21:23Speaker 10: Who murdered him?
- 1:21:24Speaker 12: He that is apprehended for the fact, Who patron Gano.
- 1:21:29Speaker 18: Is Serberen slain that loved his lord so well? Injurious
- 1:21:33Speaker 18: villain murderer of his friend?
- 1:21:36Speaker 10: Hath petron Gano murdered Serberine? My lord? Let me entreat
- 1:21:40Speaker 10: you to take the pains to exasperate and hasten his
- 1:21:43Speaker 10: revenge with your complaints. Unto my Lord the King, this
- 1:21:46Speaker 10: dead dissension breeds a greater doubt.
- 1:21:49Speaker 18: Assure THEE don Lorenzo, he shall die or else his
- 1:21:52Speaker 18: Highness hardly shall deny. Meanwhile, I'll haste the martial sessions
- 1:21:57Speaker 18: for die he shall for this his damn indeed.
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: Exit Balthazar.
- 1:22:03Speaker 10: Why so this fits our former policy, and thus experience
- 1:22:07Speaker 10: bids the wise to deal. I lay the plot. He
- 1:22:10Speaker 10: prosecutes the point I set the trap. He breaks the
- 1:22:13Speaker 10: worthless twigs and sees not that wherewith the bird was limbed.
- 1:22:17Speaker 10: Thus hopeful men that mean to hold their own must
- 1:22:20Speaker 10: look like fowlers to their dearest friends. He runs to
- 1:22:24Speaker 10: kill whom I have helped to catch, and no man
- 1:22:27Speaker 10: knows it was my reaching. Fetch tis hard to trust
- 1:22:30Speaker 10: into a multitude or any one, in mine opinion, when
- 1:22:33Speaker 10: men themselves their secrets will reveal.
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: Enter a messenger with a letter.
- 1:22:38Speaker 10: Boy, My lord, what's he?
- 1:22:41Speaker 23: I have a letter to your lordship from whence from.
- 1:22:45Speaker 24: Pedringano that's imprisoned.
- 1:22:47Speaker 10: So he is imprisoned, then, I, my good lord, what
- 1:22:51Speaker 10: would he with us? He writes us here to stand
- 1:22:53Speaker 10: a good lord and help him in distress? Tell him
- 1:22:56Speaker 10: I have his letters, Noah's mind, and what we may
- 1:23:00Speaker 10: let him assure him off. Fellow be gone, My boy
- 1:23:03Speaker 10: shall follow.
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: Thee exit messenger.
- 1:23:06Speaker 10: This works like wax. Yet once more, try thy wits boy.
- 1:23:09Speaker 10: Go convey this purse to pedrn Gano. Thou knows to
- 1:23:12Speaker 10: prison closely, give it him, and be advised that none
- 1:23:16Speaker 10: be thereabout. Bid him be merry still but secret, And
- 1:23:19Speaker 10: though the martial sessions be to day, bid him not
- 1:23:22Speaker 10: doubt of his delivery. Tell him his pardon is already signed,
- 1:23:26Speaker 10: and thereon bid him boldly be resolved. For were he
- 1:23:29Speaker 10: ready to be turned off, as tis my will the
- 1:23:32Speaker 10: uttermost be tried, Thou, with his pardon shalt attend him. Still,
- 1:23:36Speaker 10: show him this box, tell him his pardon's int but
- 1:23:38Speaker 10: open it not. And if thou lovest thy life, but
- 1:23:42Speaker 10: let him wisely keep his hopes unknown. He shall not
- 1:23:45Speaker 10: want while Don Lorenzo lives away.
- 1:23:48Speaker 12: I go, my lord, I run.
- 1:23:51Speaker 10: But Sarah see that this be cleanly done. Exit page
- 1:23:56Speaker 10: now stands our fortune on a tickle point, and now
- 1:23:59Speaker 10: on never ends Arenzo's doubts. One only thing is unaffected yet,
- 1:24:04Speaker 10: and that's to see the executioner.
- 1:24:06Speaker 5: But to what end?
- 1:24:07Speaker 10: I lest not trust the air with utterance of our
- 1:24:10Speaker 10: pretense therein for fear the privy whisperings of the wind
- 1:24:14Speaker 10: convey our words amongst unfriendly ears that lie to open
- 1:24:17Speaker 10: to advantages. A quel k voglio EO nasun loosar Nintendo
- 1:24:22Speaker 10: EO quell me bastara.
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: Exit Scene five and her boy with the box.
- 1:24:31Speaker 21: My master hath forbidden me to look in this box,
- 1:24:35Speaker 21: and by my draft as likely, if he had not
- 1:24:38Speaker 21: warned me, I should not have had so much idle
- 1:24:41Speaker 21: time for we men's kind in our minority. I like
- 1:24:45Speaker 21: women in their uncertainty that they are most forbidden, and
- 1:24:49Speaker 21: they will soonest attempt. So I now, by my bare honesty,
- 1:24:57Speaker 21: here's nothing but the bare empty box. Were it not
- 1:25:01Speaker 21: sin against secrecy, I would say it were a piece
- 1:25:05Speaker 21: of gentlemanlike knavery. I must go to Pedringano and tell
- 1:25:10Speaker 21: him his pardon is in this box. Nay, I would
- 1:25:14Speaker 21: have sworn it had I not seen the contrary. I
- 1:25:18Speaker 21: cannot choose but smile to think how the villain will
- 1:25:21Speaker 21: flout the gallows, scorn the audience, and descant on the
- 1:25:25Speaker 21: hangman and all, presuming of his pardon. From hence wilt
- 1:25:30Speaker 21: not be an odd jest for me to stand and
- 1:25:33Speaker 21: grace every jest he makes pointing my finger at this box,
- 1:25:36Speaker 21: as who would say, mock on, here's thy warrantst not
- 1:25:41Speaker 21: a scurvy jest that a man should jest himself to death,
- 1:25:45Speaker 21: alas poor pedron Gano, I am in a sort sorry
- 1:25:49Speaker 21: for thee. But if I should be hanged with thee
- 1:25:52Speaker 21: I cannot weep.

- 1:26:06Speaker 7: them justice when unjustly we for all our wrongs can
- 1:26:11Speaker 7: compass no redress. But shall I never live to see
- 1:26:14Speaker 7: the day that I may come, by justice of the heavens,
- 1:26:17Speaker 7: to know the cause that may my chairs allay? This
- 1:26:21Speaker 7: toils my body, this consumeth age that only I to
- 1:26:24Speaker 7: all men just must be, and neither gods nor men
- 1:26:29Speaker 7: be just.
- 1:26:29Speaker 8: To me worthy Hiramo, your office asks a care to
- 1:26:34Speaker 8: punish such as do transgress.
- 1:26:38Speaker 7: So is it my duty to regard his death, who,
- 1:26:40Speaker 7: when he lived, deserved my dearest blood. But come for
- 1:26:44Speaker 7: that we came for let's begin, For here lies that

- 1:32:01Speaker 7: surcharged the air with ceaseless plaints for my deceased son.
- 1:32:05Speaker 7: The blustering winds, conspiring with my words at my lament,
- 1:32:09Speaker 7: have moved the leafless trees, disrobed the meadows of their
- 1:32:12Speaker 7: flowered green, made mountains marsh with spring tides of my tears,
- 1:32:16Speaker 7: and broken through the brazen gates of hell. Yet still
- 1:32:20Speaker 7: tormented is my tortured soul, with broken sighs and restless passions,
- 1:32:24Speaker 7: that winged mount and hovering in the air, beat at
- 1:32:27Speaker 7: the windows of the brightest heavens, soliciting for justice and revenge.
- 1:32:32Speaker 7: But they are placed in those imperial heights where countermerrored
- 1:32:35Speaker 7: with walls of diamond. I find the place impregnable, and
- 1:32:39Speaker 7: they resist my woes and give my words no way.
- 1:32:43Speaker 1: Enter Hangman with a letter.

- 1:32:53Speaker 2: conceits well what of him, O, Lord sir? He went
- 1:32:58Speaker 2: the wrong way. The fellow had a fair commission to

- 1:33:08Speaker 2: we have done him wrong.
- 1:33:10Speaker 7: I warrant they give it me.

- 1:33:30Speaker 7: mine extremes required that you would labor my delivery. If
- 1:33:34Speaker 7: you neglect, my life is desperate, and in my death

- 1:33:39Speaker 7: slew him for your sake, and was confederate with the prince,
- 1:33:42Speaker 7: and you won by rewards and hopeful promises. I hope
- 1:33:46Speaker 7: to murder don Horatio too. Hope he'd a murder mine
- 1:33:50Speaker 7: Horatio and act as in the accursed tragedy. Wast thou,
- 1:33:54Speaker 7: Lorenzo Balthazah, and thou of whom my son my son deserved?
- 1:33:59Speaker 7: So well? What have I heard? What have mine eyes beheld? O?

- 1:34:05Speaker 7: monstrous and detested deed, so closely smothered and so long concealed,
- 1:34:10Speaker 7: shall thus by this be venged or revealed? Now see
- 1:34:14Speaker 7: I what I durst not? Then suspect that bel Imperia's
- 1:34:17Speaker 7: letter is not feigned nor faint she though falsely they
- 1:34:21Speaker 7: have wronged both her, myself, Horatio and themselves. Now may

- 1:35:01Speaker 7: day and place where he did pity thee. But wherefore
- 1:35:05Speaker 7: waste I mine unfruitful words? When nought but blood will
- 1:35:08Speaker 7: satisfy my woes. I'll go plain me to my lord
- 1:35:11Speaker 7: the King, and cry aloud for justice through the court,
- 1:35:14Speaker 7: wearing the flints with these my withered feet, and either

- 1:36:35Speaker 21: Henley notes rare harmony to greet his innocence that died,
- 1:36:41Speaker 21: I died a mirror in our days. But say, where

- 1:41:34Speaker 4: But why had I no notice.
- 1:41:35Speaker 10: Of his ire that were to add more fuel to
- 1:41:38Speaker 10: your fire? Who burnt Legatna for Andrea's loss?
- 1:41:41Speaker 4: Has not My father then inquired for me, sister, he.
- 1:41:45Speaker 10: Hath and thus excused I thee he.
- 1:41:47Speaker 1: Whispereth in her ear.
- 1:41:49Speaker 10: But bel imperia, see the gentle prince, look on thy love.
- 1:41:53Speaker 10: Behold young Baltazzar, whose passions, by thy presence are increased,
- 1:41:57Speaker 10: and in whose melancholy thou mayst see. Thy hate is
- 1:42:01Speaker 10: love by flight is following thee.
- 1:42:03Speaker 4: Brother, you are become an orator. I know not I
- 1:42:06Speaker 4: by what experience too politic for me? Past all compare
- 1:42:12Speaker 4: since last I saw you, but content yourself. The Prince
- 1:42:17Speaker 4: is meditating higher things.
- 1:42:19Speaker 18: Tis of thy beauty then that conquers kings of those
- 1:42:23Speaker 18: thy tresses Ariadne's twines. Wherewith my liberty thou hast surprised
- 1:42:29Speaker 18: of that thine ivory front my sorrow's map, wherein I
- 1:42:33Speaker 18: see no haven to rest my hope, to.
- 1:42:36Speaker 4: Love and fear, and both at once, my Lord, in
- 1:42:40Speaker 4: my conceit, are things of more import than women's wits
- 1:42:44Speaker 4: are to be busied with.
- 1:42:46Speaker 26: Tis, I that love whom bel imperia, But I that
- 1:42:51Speaker 26: fear whom bel imperia.
- 1:42:54Speaker 10: Fear yourself, I brother, how.
- 1:42:57Speaker 4: As those that what they love are loathe and fear
- 1:43:02Speaker 4: to lose.
- 1:43:03Speaker 18: Then fair, let Balthasar your keeper be.
- 1:43:07Speaker 4: No Balthazar doth fear as well as we et tremulo
- 1:43:11Speaker 4: metui padom jungs tomorrowm as van uns Stoliday.
- 1:43:15Speaker 10: Producionis opus nay, And you argue things so cunningly? Will
- 1:43:20Speaker 10: go continue this discourse at court?
- 1:43:23Speaker 18: Lead by the load star of her heavenly looks. When's
- 1:43:27Speaker 18: poor oppressive Balthazar as o'er the mountains walks the wanderer,
- 1:43:32Speaker 18: incertain to effect his pilgrimage.
- 1:43:35Speaker 1: Accient scene eleven enter two portingals and Heronimo meets them.
- 1:43:43Speaker 7: Oh, leave, sir, tis neither as you think, nor as
- 1:43:46Speaker 7: you think, nor as you think you're wide. All these
- 1:43:50Speaker 7: slippers are not mine. They were my son, Horatios, my son.
- 1:43:54Speaker 7: And what a sun a thing begot within a pair
- 1:43:56Speaker 7: of minutes thereabout a lump bred up in darkness, and
- 1:44:00Speaker 7: doth serve to ballast these like creatures we call women,
- 1:44:03Speaker 7: And at nine months end creeps forth to light. What
- 1:44:07Speaker 7: is there Yetna's son to make a father doat rave
- 1:44:10Speaker 7: or run mad? Being born? It pouts, cries and breathes teeth.
- 1:44:15Speaker 7: What is there Yetna's son? He must be fed, be
- 1:44:19Speaker 7: taught to go and speak? Ay? Or yet, why not
- 1:44:22Speaker 7: a man love a calf as well, or melt in passion,
- 1:44:25Speaker 7: or frisking kid as for a son. Methinks a young
- 1:44:28Speaker 7: bacon or a fine little smooth horse colt should move
- 1:44:32Speaker 7: a man as much as doth a son. For one
- 1:44:35Speaker 7: of these, in very little time will grow to some
- 1:44:37Speaker 7: good use. Whereas a sun, the more he grows in
- 1:44:41Speaker 7: stature ends in years, the more unsquared, unbeveled he appears,
- 1:44:45Speaker 7: reckons his parents among the rank of fools, strikes care
- 1:44:49Speaker 7: upon their heads with his mad riots, makes them look
- 1:44:52Speaker 7: old before they meet with age. This is a sun,
- 1:44:55Speaker 7: And what a loss were this considered? Truly?
- 1:44:58Speaker 3: Oh?
- 1:45:00Speaker 7: My Heratio grew out of reach of these insatiate humors.
- 1:45:03Speaker 7: He loved his loving parents. He was my comfort and
- 1:45:06Speaker 7: his mother's joy, the very arm that did hold up
- 1:45:09Speaker 7: our house. Our hopes were stored up in him. None
- 1:45:13Speaker 7: but a damned murderer could hate him. He had not
- 1:45:16Speaker 7: seen the back of nineteen year when his strong arm
- 1:45:19Speaker 7: onnhorsed the proud Prince Balthazar, and his great mind, too
- 1:45:23Speaker 7: full of honor, took him to his mercy, that valiant
- 1:45:26Speaker 7: but ignoble portingale. Well, heaven is heaven still, and there
- 1:45:30Speaker 7: is nemesis, and furies and things called whips. And they
- 1:45:35Speaker 7: sometimes do meet with murderers. They do not always escape.
- 1:45:39Speaker 7: That is some comfort, aye, ay ay. And then time
- 1:45:44Speaker 7: steals on and steals and steals till violence leaps forth
- 1:45:47Speaker 7: like thunder wrapt in a ball of fire. And so
- 1:45:49Speaker 7: doth bring confusion to them all. Good leave have you, nay?
- 1:45:53Speaker 7: I pray you go, for I'll leave you if you
- 1:45:56Speaker 7: can leave me, So pray you.
- 1:45:58Speaker 23: Which is the next way to my lords?
- 1:46:01Speaker 7: The next way from me to his house? We mean,
- 1:46:04Speaker 7: oh hard by tis yon house that you see?
- 1:46:07Speaker 23: You could not tell us if his son were there?
- 1:46:09Speaker 1: Who my lord Lorenzo, Ay, sir, He goeth in at
- 1:46:13Speaker 1: one door and comes out at another.
- 1:46:16Speaker 7: Oh, forbear for other talk for us far fire were.
- 1:46:20Speaker 7: But if you be importunate to know the way to
- 1:46:22Speaker 7: him and where to find him out, then this to me,
- 1:46:25Speaker 7: and I'll resolve your doubt. There is a path upon
- 1:46:28Speaker 7: your left hand side that leadeth from a guilty conscience
- 1:46:31Speaker 7: unto a forest of distrust and fear, a darkson place
- 1:46:35Speaker 7: and dangerous to pass. There shall you meet with melancholy thoughts,
- 1:46:39Speaker 7: whose bareful humors, if you but uphold it will conduct
- 1:46:43Speaker 7: you to despair and death, whose rocky cliffs, when you
- 1:46:47Speaker 7: have once beheld within a hugely dale of lasting night,
- 1:46:51Speaker 7: that kindled with the world's iniquities, doth cast up filthy
- 1:46:54Speaker 7: and detested fumes. Not far from thence where murderers have
- 1:46:58Speaker 7: built a habitation for their cursed souls. There in a
- 1:47:02Speaker 7: brazen cauldron fixed by Jove in his fell wrath upon
- 1:47:06Speaker 7: a self aflame, yourselves shall find Lorenzo bathing him and
- 1:47:10Speaker 7: boiling lead and blood of innocence.
- 1:47:13Speaker 10: Ha ha ha.
- 1:47:14Speaker 7: Ha ha ha why ha ha farewell good ha ha
- 1:47:18Speaker 7: ha accent.
- 1:47:21Speaker 23: Doubtless this man is passing, lunatic or imperfection of his
- 1:47:25Speaker 23: age doth make him dot come. That's a way to
- 1:47:28Speaker 23: seek my lord, the Duke Scene twelve.
- 1:47:32Speaker 1: Enter Hieronimo with a poniard in one hand and a
- 1:47:35Speaker 1: rope in the other.
- 1:47:37Speaker 7: Now, sir, perhaps I come and see the king. The
- 1:47:40Speaker 7: king sees me, and fain would hear my suit? Why
- 1:47:43Speaker 7: is not this a strange and celled seen thing that
- 1:47:46Speaker 7: standeth by with toys? Should strike me? Mute? Go too,
- 1:47:50Speaker 7: I see their ships and say no more, Hieronimo. Tis
- 1:47:54Speaker 7: time for thee to trudge down by the dale that
- 1:47:56Speaker 7: flows with purple gore. Standeth a fiery tower. There, says
- 1:48:01Speaker 7: the judge, upon a seat of steel and molten brass,
- 1:48:04Speaker 7: and TwixT his teeth he holds a firebrand that leads
- 1:48:08Speaker 7: on to the lake where hell doth stand away. Hire
- 1:48:11Speaker 7: Animo to him, be gone. He'll do thee justice for
- 1:48:14Speaker 7: Horatio's death. Turn down this path, thou shalt be with
- 1:48:18Speaker 7: him straight all this, and then thou needest not take
- 1:48:22Speaker 7: thy breath. This way all that way I soften fare
- 1:48:26Speaker 7: not so, for if I hang or kill myself, let's
- 1:48:30Speaker 7: know who will revenge Horatio's mirth. Then no, no, fie,
- 1:48:35Speaker 7: no pardon me, all none of that.
- 1:48:38Speaker 1: He flings away the dagger and halter.
- 1:48:41Speaker 7: This way I'll take and this way comes the King.
- 1:48:44Speaker 1: He takes them up again, and here I'll have a.
- 1:48:46Speaker 7: Fling at him. That's flat, and Balthazar, I'll be with
- 1:48:50Speaker 7: thee to bring and thee Lorenzo, here's the king. Nay, stay,
- 1:48:55Speaker 7: and here I hear there goes the hare away.
- 1:48:59Speaker 1: Enter King, Ambassador Castile and Lorenzo.
- 1:49:03Speaker 16: Now show Ambassador what our viceroy said. Hath he received
- 1:49:08Speaker 16: the articles we sent.

- 1:49:20Speaker 7: Not I here, animo, beware, go by, go by.
- 1:49:25Speaker 9: Renowned King, he hath received and read thy kingly prophets
- 1:49:28Speaker 9: and thy promised league. And as a man extremely overjoyed
- 1:49:32Speaker 9: to hear his son so princely entertained, whose death he
- 1:49:35Speaker 9: had so solemnly bewailed this for thy further satisfaction in
- 1:49:39Speaker 9: kingly love, he kindly lets THEE know first for the
- 1:49:43Speaker 9: marriage of his princely son with bel Imperia, thy beloved niece.
- 1:49:47Speaker 9: The news are more delightful to his soul than me
- 1:49:49Speaker 9: or incense to the offended heavens in person. Therefore, will
- 1:49:53Speaker 9: he come himself to see the marriage right solemnized and
- 1:49:57Speaker 9: in the presence of the court of Spain to knitish.
- 1:50:00Speaker 9: It's your inextricable band of kingly love and everlasting league

- 1:50:06Speaker 9: give his crown to Balthazar and make a queen of
- 1:50:09Speaker 9: bel Imperia.
- 1:50:10Speaker 16: Brother, how like you this sole viceroys love.

- 1:50:26Speaker 3: that bends by liking to my daughter.

- 1:51:05Speaker 7: me bankrupt of my bliss. Give me my son. You
- 1:51:08Speaker 7: shall not ransom him away.
- 1:51:10Speaker 1: I'll rip the bowels of the earth he diggeth with

- 1:53:05Speaker 20: Wonder, Aedro, why o master thus at midnight sends us
- 1:53:08Speaker 20: with our torture's light, when man and bird and beast
- 1:53:12Speaker 20: are all at rest, save those that watch for rape
- 1:53:15Speaker 20: and bloody murder.
- 1:53:16Speaker 13: Oh, Jacques, know thou that our master's mind is much distraught,
- 1:53:20Speaker 13: since his Horatio died, and now his aged years should
- 1:53:23Speaker 13: sleep and rest his heart and quiet like a desperate man,
- 1:53:27Speaker 13: grows lunatic and childish for his son. Sometimes, as he
- 1:53:31Speaker 13: dot that his table sit, he speaks as if Horatio
- 1:53:35Speaker 13: stood by him. Then, starting in a rage, falls on
- 1:53:38Speaker 13: the earth, cries out, Horatio, where is my Horatio? So
- 1:53:43Speaker 13: that with extreme grief and cutting sorrow, there is not
- 1:53:46Speaker 13: left in him one inch of man? See where he comes?
- 1:53:50Speaker 1: Enter hieronimo.
- 1:53:52Speaker 7: I pry through every crevice of each wall, look on
- 1:53:55Speaker 7: each tree, and search through every break. Beat at the bush,
- 1:54:00Speaker 7: stamp our grand am earth, dive in the water, and
- 1:54:03Speaker 7: stare up to heaven. Yet cannot I behold my son Horatio?
- 1:54:08Speaker 7: How now? Who's there? Spirits? Spirits?
- 1:54:11Speaker 13: We are your servants that attend you, sir?
- 1:54:13Speaker 7: What make you with your torches in the dark?
- 1:54:16Speaker 13: You bid us light them and attend you here?
- 1:54:19Speaker 7: No, no, you are deceived, Not I you are deceived?
- 1:54:23Speaker 7: Was I so mad to bid you light your torches? Now?
- 1:54:26Speaker 7: Light me your torches? At the mid of noon, when
- 1:54:28Speaker 7: as the sun God rides in all his glory, light
- 1:54:31Speaker 7: me your torches.
- 1:54:32Speaker 13: Then then we burn daylight.
- 1:54:35Speaker 7: Let it be burnt. Night is a murderous slut that
- 1:54:38Speaker 7: would not have her treasons to be seen, and yonder
- 1:54:42Speaker 7: pale faced he cat there the moon doth give consent
- 1:54:46Speaker 7: to that is done in her darkness. And all those
- 1:54:49Speaker 7: stars that gaze upon her face are aglets on her sleeve,
- 1:54:53Speaker 7: pins on her train. And those that should be powerful
- 1:54:56Speaker 7: and divine do sleep in darkness. When they move, should
- 1:55:00Speaker 7: shine provoke them?
- 1:55:02Speaker 13: Not, fair, sir, with tempting words. The heavens are gracious,
- 1:55:05Speaker 13: and your miseries and sorrows make you speak.
- 1:55:07Speaker 7: You know not what villain thou liest, and thou dost
- 1:55:11Speaker 7: not for tell me I am mad, thou liest, I
- 1:55:14Speaker 7: am not mad. I know thee to be Pedro, and
- 1:55:17Speaker 7: he jacuis. I'll prove it to thee. And were I'm mad?
- 1:55:20Speaker 7: How could I? Where was she that same night when
- 1:55:24Speaker 7: my Horatio was murdered? She should have shown search thou
- 1:55:29Speaker 7: the book. Had the moon shone in my boy's face,
- 1:55:32Speaker 7: there was a kind of grace that I know, Nay,
- 1:55:36Speaker 7: I do know. Had the murderer seen him, his weapon
- 1:55:39Speaker 7: would have fallen and cut the earth, had he been
- 1:55:42Speaker 7: framed of naught but blood and death. Alack, When mischief
- 1:55:47Speaker 7: doth it knows not, what what shall we say to mischief?
- 1:55:51Speaker 21: Enter Isabella, dear Hieronimo, come in adoors, Oh seek not
- 1:55:56Speaker 21: means so to increase thy sorrow.
- 1:55:59Speaker 7: Indeed, Isabella, we do nothing here. I do not cry,
- 1:56:03Speaker 7: ask Pedro and ask jaquies not I. Indeed we are
- 1:56:09Speaker 7: very merry, very merry.
- 1:56:11Speaker 21: How be merry? Here, be merry?
- 1:56:15Speaker 4: Here?
- 1:56:16Speaker 21: Is not this the place? And this the very tree
- 1:56:19Speaker 21: where my Horatio died, where he was murdered.
- 1:56:24Speaker 7: Was do not say what? Let her weep it out?
- 1:56:29Speaker 7: This was the tree I said it of a colonel.
- 1:56:33Speaker 7: And when our hot spain could not let it grow,
- 1:56:36Speaker 7: but that the infant in the human sap began to
- 1:56:38Speaker 7: wither duly twice a morning, would I be sprinkling it
- 1:56:41Speaker 7: with fountain water. At last it grew and grew, and
- 1:56:46Speaker 7: bore and tore to let the length. It grew a
- 1:56:49Speaker 7: gallows and did bear our son. It bore thy fruit,
- 1:56:52Speaker 7: and mine o wicked, wicked plant.
- 1:56:56Speaker 1: One knocks within at the door.
- 1:57:00Speaker 7: See who knock there?
- 1:57:01Speaker 13: It is a painter.
- 1:57:02Speaker 7: Sir, bid him come in and paint some comfort, For
- 1:57:06Speaker 7: surely there's none lives but painted comfort. Let him come in.
- 1:57:10Speaker 7: One knows not what may chance God's will that I
- 1:57:13Speaker 7: should set this tree. But even so, Master's ungrateful servants
- 1:57:18Speaker 7: rear from naught and then they hate them that did
- 1:57:21Speaker 7: bring them.
- 1:57:21Speaker 1: Up enter the painter.
- 1:57:24Speaker 3: God bless you, sir.
- 1:57:26Speaker 7: Wherefore why thou scornful villain? How where or by what
- 1:57:31Speaker 7: means should I be blessed?
- 1:57:33Speaker 21: What wouldst thou have, good fellow justice?
- 1:57:37Speaker 7: Madam, Oh, ambitious beggar? Wouldst thou have that that lives
- 1:57:42Speaker 7: not in the world? Why all the undealt minds cannot
- 1:57:45Speaker 7: buy an ounce of justice? Tis a jewel so inestimable.
- 1:57:49Speaker 7: I tell thee God hath engrossed all justice in his hands,
- 1:57:54Speaker 7: and there is none but what comes from him.
- 1:57:58Speaker 3: Oh, then I see that God must write me for
- 1:58:01Speaker 3: my murdered son.
- 1:58:03Speaker 7: How was thy son murdered?
- 1:58:05Speaker 3: Ay, sir, no man did hold his son?
- 1:58:08Speaker 7: So dear what not as thine? That's a lie, as
- 1:58:13Speaker 7: massy as the earth. I had a son whose least
- 1:58:16Speaker 7: unvalued hair did weigh a thousand of thy sons, and
- 1:58:19Speaker 7: he was murdered.
- 1:58:21Speaker 3: Alas, Sir, I had no more than.
- 1:58:23Speaker 7: He, nor I but this same one of mine was
- 1:58:27Speaker 7: worth a legion. But all is one. Pedro jacuis go

- 1:58:43Speaker 1: Say, accient the painter, and he sits down.
- 1:58:48Speaker 7: Come, let's talk wisely?
- 1:58:50Speaker 13: Now?
- 1:58:51Speaker 7: Was thy son murdered?
- 1:58:52Speaker 8: Ay, sir, so is mine?
- 1:58:56Speaker 7: How dost take it? But thou not sometimes mad? There
- 1:59:00Speaker 7: no tricks that comes before thine.
- 1:59:01Speaker 3: Eyes, O Lord, Yes, sir.
- 1:59:05Speaker 7: At a painter can'st paint me a tear or a wound,
- 1:59:09Speaker 7: a groan or a sigh. Can'st paint me such a
- 1:59:12Speaker 7: tree as this?
- 1:59:13Speaker 3: Sir? I'm sure you have heard my painting.
- 1:59:16Speaker 7: My name's Bazardo, Bazardo a fore God an excellent fellow.
- 1:59:22Speaker 7: Look you, sir, do you see? I'd have you paint
- 1:59:25Speaker 7: me for my gallery, and your oil colors matted and
- 1:59:28Speaker 7: draw me five years younger than I am, Do you see, sir?
- 1:59:32Speaker 7: Let five years go? Let them go, like the marshal
- 1:59:35Speaker 7: of Spain. My wife Isabella standing by me with a
- 1:59:39Speaker 7: speaking look to my son Horatio, which should intend to
- 1:59:43Speaker 7: this or some such like purpose. God bless thee my
- 1:59:47Speaker 7: sweet son, and my hand leaning upon his head. Thus, sir,
- 1:59:52Speaker 7: do you see? May it be done very well?
- 1:59:55Speaker 3: Sir?
- 1:59:56Speaker 7: Nay I pray mock me, sir? Then sir, What I
- 2:00:00Speaker 7: have you paint me? This tree? This very tree, canst
- 2:00:03Speaker 7: paint a doleful cry?
- 2:00:05Speaker 3: Seemingly? Sir?
- 2:00:07Speaker 7: Nay it should cry, but all is one, will, sir,
- 2:00:11Speaker 7: paint me a youth run through and through with villain's
- 2:00:14Speaker 7: swords hanging upon this tree? Canst thou draw a murderer?
- 2:00:18Speaker 3: I'll warrant you, sir, I have the pattern of the
- 2:00:21Speaker 3: most notorious villains that ever lived in old Spain.
- 2:00:26Speaker 7: Oh, let them be worse, worse, stretch thine art, and
- 2:00:29Speaker 7: that their beards be of judas his own color, and
- 2:00:32Speaker 7: that their eyebrows jutty over. In any case observed that, then, sir,
- 2:00:38Speaker 7: after some violent noise, bring me forth, in my shirt
- 2:00:41Speaker 7: and my gown under mine arm, and my torch in
- 2:00:43Speaker 7: my hand, and my sword reared up thus and with
- 2:00:46Speaker 7: these words, what noise is this? Who calls here on him? All?
- 2:00:51Speaker 7: May it be done?
- 2:00:52Speaker 3: Ye, sir?
- 2:00:54Speaker 7: Well, sir, then bring me forth, Bring me through alley
- 2:00:58Speaker 7: and alley still, with the distracted countenance going along, And
- 2:01:01Speaker 7: let my hair heave up my night cap. Let the
- 2:01:04Speaker 7: clouds scowl, make the moon dark, the stars extinct, the
- 2:01:07Speaker 7: wind's blowing, the bells tolling, the owls shrieking, the toads croaking,
- 2:01:12Speaker 7: the minutes jarring, and the clock striking twelve. And then
- 2:01:16Speaker 7: at last, sir, starting behold a man hanging and tottering
- 2:01:21Speaker 7: and tottering, as you know the wind will wave a man,
- 2:01:24Speaker 7: and I with a trice to cut him down, and
- 2:01:27Speaker 7: looking upon him, by the advantage of my torch, find
- 2:01:31Speaker 7: it to be my son, Horatio. There may you show
- 2:01:36Speaker 7: a passion. There you may show a passion. Draw me
- 2:01:40Speaker 7: like old Priam of Troy, crying the house is a fire.
- 2:01:43Speaker 7: The house is a fire, as the torch over my head.
- 2:01:47Speaker 7: Make me curse, make me rave, make me cry, make
- 2:01:49Speaker 7: me mad, make me well again, make me curse hell,
- 2:01:52Speaker 7: invocate heaven, and in the end leave me in a trance,
- 2:01:57Speaker 7: and so forth.
- 2:01:58Speaker 3: And is this the end?
- 2:02:00Speaker 7: Oh? No, there is no end. The end is death
- 2:02:03Speaker 7: and madness. As I am never better than when I
- 2:02:06Speaker 7: am mad, Then methinks I am a brave fellow. Then
- 2:02:10Speaker 7: I do wonders, But reason abuseth me, And there's the torment,
- 2:02:15Speaker 7: there's the hell. At the last, sir, bring me to
- 2:02:19Speaker 7: one of the murderers. Were he as strong as Hector,
- 2:02:23Speaker 7: thus would I tear and drag him up and down.
- 2:02:26Speaker 1: He beats the painter in, then comes out again with
- 2:02:29Speaker 1: a book in his hand. Scene thirteen. Enter hieronimaou with
- 2:02:35Speaker 1: a book in his.
- 2:02:36Speaker 7: Hand, whin dicta mihi ay, heaven will be revenged of
- 2:02:41Speaker 7: every ill, nor will they suffer murder unrepaid. Then stay
- 2:02:46Speaker 7: he roonimau attend their will, for mortal men may not
- 2:02:49Speaker 7: appoint their time. Perslis sempartutem est cheliribus eater, strike and
- 2:02:57Speaker 7: strike home where wrong is offered. Thee for evils unto
- 2:03:01Speaker 7: ills conductors be and death's the worst of resolution. For
- 2:03:06Speaker 7: he that thinks with patience to contend to quiet life,
- 2:03:10Speaker 7: his life shall easily end. Fatasi misorros juvant harbez salutem
- 2:03:19Speaker 7: fata sie weetum nej aunt harbez sepulcrum. If destiny thy
- 2:03:26Speaker 7: miseries do ease, then hast thou health and happy thou
- 2:03:29Speaker 7: shalt be. If destiny deny thee life Hieronimo, yet shalt
- 2:03:34Speaker 7: thou be assured of a tomb. If neither yet, let
- 2:03:38Speaker 7: this thy comfort be, Heaven covereth him that hath no burial.
- 2:03:43Speaker 7: And to conclude, I will revenge his death. But how
- 2:03:47Speaker 7: not as the vulgar wits of men with open but
- 2:03:50Speaker 7: inevitable ills, as by a secret, yet a certain mean,
- 2:03:54Speaker 7: which under kinship will be cloaked. Best. Wise men will
- 2:03:58Speaker 7: take their opportunity closely and safely, fitting things to time,
- 2:04:04Speaker 7: But in extremes advantage hath no time, and therefore all
- 2:04:07Speaker 7: times fit not for revenge. Thus therefore will I rest
- 2:04:11Speaker 7: me in unrest, dissembling, quiet, in unquietness, not seeming that
- 2:04:17Speaker 7: I know their villainies, that my simplicity may make them
- 2:04:20Speaker 7: think that ignorantly I will let all slip for ignorance
- 2:04:25Speaker 7: I WoT and well they know remedium mellorum in nurse
- 2:04:29Speaker 7: est nor aught avails at me to menace them, who,
- 2:04:33Speaker 7: as a wintry storm upon a plain, will bear me
- 2:04:36Speaker 7: down with their nobility. No, no herony, Mo, Thou must
- 2:04:41Speaker 7: enjoin thine eyes to observation, and thy tongue to milder
- 2:04:44Speaker 7: speeches than thy spirit affords, Thy heart to patience, and
- 2:04:48Speaker 7: thy hands to rest, thy cap to courtesy, and thy
- 2:04:52Speaker 7: knee to bow till to revenge. Thou know when where
- 2:04:57Speaker 7: and how a noise? With how now what noise, what
- 2:05:02Speaker 7: coil is that you keep enter a servant.
- 2:05:06Speaker 24: Here are a sort of poor petitioners that are importunate.
- 2:05:10Speaker 24: And it shall please you, sir, that you should plead
- 2:05:13Speaker 24: their cases to the King, that.
- 2:05:15Speaker 7: I should plead their several actions. Well, let them enter,
- 2:05:18Speaker 7: and let me see them enter.
- 2:05:20Speaker 1: Three citizens and an old man sue.
- 2:05:23Speaker 3: I tell you this for learning and for law. There
- 2:05:26Speaker 3: is not any advocate in Spain that can prevail or
- 2:05:29Speaker 3: will take half the pain that he will in pursuit
- 2:05:32Speaker 3: of equity.
- 2:05:33Speaker 7: Come near, you men that thus importune me aside? Now
- 2:05:38Speaker 7: must I bear a face of gravity? For thus I
- 2:05:41Speaker 7: used before my mascleship to plead in causes as corregidor.
- 2:05:45Speaker 7: Come on, sirs, what's the matter, sir?
- 2:05:48Speaker 3: An action of battery, mine of debt?
- 2:05:52Speaker 7: Give place?
- 2:05:53Speaker 8: No, sir, mine is an action of the case, mine ejection?
- 2:06:01Speaker 7: Content you, sirs? Are you determined that I should plead
- 2:06:03Speaker 7: your several actions?
- 2:06:05Speaker 8: Ay, sir, And here's my declaration, and here's my band.
- 2:06:10Speaker 20: And here's my lace.
- 2:06:11Speaker 1: They give him papers.
- 2:06:13Speaker 7: But wherefore stands yon, silly man, so mute, with mournful
- 2:06:17Speaker 7: eyes and hands to heaven upreared, come here the father.
- 2:06:20Speaker 8: Let me know thy cause, Oh worthy, sir, my cause
- 2:06:24Speaker 8: but slightly known may move the hearts of warlike miramadons,
- 2:06:31Speaker 8: and melt the corsic rocks with rueful tears.
- 2:06:36Speaker 7: Say, father, tell me what's thy suit?
- 2:06:39Speaker 8: No, sir, could my woes give way unto my most
- 2:06:43Speaker 8: distressful words? Then should I not in paper as you
- 2:06:49Speaker 8: see with ink bewray? What blood began in me?
- 2:06:55Speaker 7: What's here? The humble supplication of Don Bozulto for his
- 2:06:59Speaker 7: murdered son, I sir, No, sir, it was my murdered son. Oh,
- 2:07:04Speaker 7: my son, my son, O, my son, Horatio. But mine
- 2:07:08Speaker 7: oor thine bosolto be content. Here, take my hand kerchief
- 2:07:12Speaker 7: and wipe thine eyes, whilst wretched eye and thy mishaps
- 2:07:16Speaker 7: may see the lively portrait of my dying self.
- 2:07:19Speaker 1: He draweth out a bloody napkin.
- 2:07:22Speaker 7: Oh no, not this, Horatio, This was thine, and when
- 2:07:26Speaker 7: I died it in thy dearest blood. This was a
- 2:07:29Speaker 7: token TwixT thy soul and me, that of thy death revenged.
- 2:07:32Speaker 7: I should be. But here, take this and this what
- 2:07:36Speaker 7: my purse? I This and that and all of them
- 2:07:39Speaker 7: are thine for all as one are our extremities.
- 2:07:43Speaker 3: Oh see the kindness of Hiddonimo.
- 2:07:46Speaker 8: This gentleness shows him a gentleman.
- 2:07:49Speaker 7: See see oh, see thy shame, Hieronimo. See here a
- 2:07:54Speaker 7: loving father to his son. Behold the sorrows and the
- 2:07:57Speaker 7: sad laments that he delivereth for his son's cease. If
- 2:08:01Speaker 7: love's affects, so strive in lesser things, If love enforce
- 2:08:05Speaker 7: such moods and meaner wits, if love express such power
- 2:08:08Speaker 7: and poorer states Hi Ronimou, When as a raging sea
- 2:08:13Speaker 7: tossed with the wind and tide overturneth, then the upper
- 2:08:16Speaker 7: billow's course of waves to keep, whilst lesser water's labor
- 2:08:20Speaker 7: in the deep. Then shamest thou, not Hironimo, to neglect
- 2:08:24Speaker 7: the sweet revenge of thy Horatio. Though on this earth
- 2:08:27Speaker 7: justice will not be found. All down to Hell, and
- 2:08:31Speaker 7: in this passion knock at the dismal gaits of Pluto's court,
- 2:08:34Speaker 7: getting by force, as once Alcides did a troop of
- 2:08:37Speaker 7: furies and tormenting hags to torture Don Lorenzo and the rest. Yet,
- 2:08:42Speaker 7: lest the triple headed porter should deny my passage to
- 2:08:45Speaker 7: the slimy strand the Thracian poet, thou shalt counterfeit. Come on,
- 2:08:50Speaker 7: old father, be my orpheus and if thou canst no
- 2:08:54Speaker 7: notes upon the harp, then sound the burden of thy
- 2:08:56Speaker 7: sore heart's grief till we do gain that prosser Pine
- 2:09:00Speaker 7: may grant revenge on them that murdered my son. Then
- 2:09:03Speaker 7: will I rent and tear them? Thus, and thus shivering
- 2:09:07Speaker 7: their limbs and pieces with my teeth.
- 2:09:09Speaker 1: Tears the papers, Oh sir, my declaration, Exit Hieronimo, and
- 2:09:16Speaker 1: they after save my bond, enter Hieronimo, save my bond, a.
- 2:09:24Speaker 20: Laugh, my lease. It cost me ten pound, and you,
- 2:09:27Speaker 20: my lord, have torn the same.
- 2:09:29Speaker 7: That cannot be I gave it, never a wound. Show
- 2:09:32Speaker 7: me one drop of blood fall from the same. How
- 2:09:35Speaker 7: is it possible I should slay it? Then tush no
- 2:09:38Speaker 7: run after catch me if you can.
- 2:09:41Speaker 1: Accient all but the old man Basulto remains till Ermanimo
- 2:09:45Speaker 1: enters again, who, staring him in the face, speaks.
- 2:09:49Speaker 7: And that thou come Harasio from the death to ask
- 2:09:53Speaker 7: for justice in this upper earth. To tell thy father
- 2:09:56Speaker 7: thou art unrevenged, to wring more tears from Isabella's eyes,
- 2:10:00Speaker 7: whose lights are dimmed with over long laments. Go back,
- 2:10:04Speaker 7: my son, complain to Aeacus, for here is no justice.
- 2:10:09Speaker 7: Gentle boy begone, for justice is exited from the earth.
- 2:10:13Speaker 7: Hieronimo will bear thee company. Thy mother cries on righteous
- 2:10:17Speaker 7: radamanth for just revenge against the murderers.
- 2:10:20Speaker 8: Alas, my lord, what springs this troubled speech?
- 2:10:26Speaker 7: But let me look on my Horatio, sweet boy, how
- 2:10:30Speaker 7: art thou changed in death's black shade, had proserpine no
- 2:10:34Speaker 7: pity on thy youth, but suffered thy fair crimson, colored
- 2:10:37Speaker 7: spring with withered winter to be blasted. Thus, Horatio, Thou
- 2:10:42Speaker 7: art older than thy father, ah ruthless fate that favor
- 2:10:46Speaker 7: thus transforms.
- 2:10:48Speaker 8: Ah, my good lord, I am not your young son.
- 2:10:53Speaker 7: What not my son? Thou than a furyat sent from
- 2:10:57Speaker 7: the empty kingdom of black Knight to summon me to
- 2:10:59Speaker 7: make appearance before grim minos and just rhadamant to plague
- 2:11:04Speaker 7: Hieronimo that is remiss and seeks not vengeance for Horatio's death.
- 2:11:09Speaker 8: I am a grieved man and not a ghost that
- 2:11:13Speaker 8: came for justice for my murdered son.
- 2:11:18Speaker 7: Ay, now I know thee. Now thou namest thy son,
- 2:11:22Speaker 7: Thou art the lively image of my grief within thy face?
- 2:11:25Speaker 7: My sorrows I may see Thy eyes are gumed with tears,
- 2:11:29Speaker 7: Thy cheeks are worn, thy forehead troubled, and thy muttering
- 2:11:32Speaker 7: lips murmur sad words abruptly broken off by force of
- 2:11:37Speaker 7: windy sighs. Thy spirit breathes, and all this sorrow riseth
- 2:11:41Speaker 7: for thy son and self same sorrow feel I for
- 2:11:44Speaker 7: my son. Come in, old man, Thou shalt to Isabel
- 2:11:50Speaker 7: lean on my arm I thee thou me shalt stay,
- 2:11:54Speaker 7: and thou and I and she will sing a song
- 2:11:57Speaker 7: three parts in one, but all of discords framed. Talk
- 2:12:01Speaker 7: not of cords. But let us now be gone, for
- 2:12:04Speaker 7: with the cord Horatio was slain.
- 2:12:06Speaker 1: Accient scene fourteen, Enter King of Spain, the Duke Viceroy
- 2:12:13Speaker 1: and Lorenzo Balthazar, Don Pedro and bel Imperia.

- 2:12:31Speaker 16: It shall be so and now to meet these Portuguese,
- 2:12:35Speaker 16: for as we now are as so sometimes were these
- 2:12:38Speaker 16: kings and commanders of the Western Indies. Welcome brave Viceroy
- 2:12:43Speaker 16: to the court of Spain, and welcome all his honorable
- 2:12:47Speaker 16: train tis not unknown to us. For why you come
- 2:12:51Speaker 16: or have so kingly crossed the seas sufficeth it. In
- 2:12:56Speaker 16: this we note the troth and more than common life
- 2:13:00Speaker 16: you lend to us. So is it that mine, honorable niece,
- 2:13:04Speaker 16: For it beseems us now that it be known, alreadies
- 2:13:07Speaker 16: betrothed to Baltassar, and my appointment and our condescent to morrow?
- 2:13:13Speaker 16: Are they to be married? To this intent? We entertain thyself,
- 2:13:18Speaker 16: thy followers, their pleasure, and our peace. Speak, men of
- 2:13:22Speaker 16: portingal shall it be so? If aye say so? If not,

- 2:13:32Speaker 6: doubtful followers, unresolv'd men, but such as have upon thine
- 2:13:36Speaker 6: articles confirm'd thy motion and contented me no, Sovereign, I
- 2:13:41Speaker 6: come to solemnize the marriage of thy beloved niece, Fair
- 2:13:44Speaker 6: bel Imperia, with my Balthazar, with THEE, my son, whom
- 2:13:48Speaker 6: sith I live to see here take my crown, I
- 2:13:51Speaker 6: give it her and THEE, and let me live a
- 2:13:53Speaker 6: solitary life in ceaseless prayers. To think how strangely heav'n
- 2:13:58Speaker 6: hath THEE preserv'd.
- 2:14:00Speaker 16: See brother see how nature strives in him. Come worthy, Viceroy,
- 2:14:06Speaker 16: and accompany thy friend with thine extremities. A place more
- 2:14:10Speaker 16: private fits this princely mood.
- 2:14:13Speaker 6: Or here, or where Johannes thinks it good?
- 2:14:16Speaker 1: Accillent all but castile and Lorenzo Scene fifteen, Castile Lorenzo, Nay.
- 2:14:24Speaker 3: Stay, Lorenzo. Let me talk with you. Seest thou this
- 2:14:29Speaker 3: entertainment of these kings.
- 2:14:31Speaker 10: I do, my Lord, and joy to see the same.
- 2:14:34Speaker 3: And knowst thou why this meeting is for.
- 2:14:37Speaker 10: Her, my Lord, whom Balthazzar doth love, and to confirm
- 2:14:41Speaker 10: their promised marriage. She is thy sister who bel imperia. I,
- 2:14:46Speaker 10: my gracious Lord, and this is the day that I
- 2:14:48Speaker 10: have longed so happily to see Thou.
- 2:14:50Speaker 3: Wouldst be Lord, that any vote of thine should intercept
- 2:14:53Speaker 3: her in her happiness.
- 2:14:55Speaker 10: Heavens will not let Lorenzo air so much?
- 2:14:58Speaker 3: Why then, Lorenzo so listen to thy words? It is
- 2:15:03Speaker 3: suspected and reported do that thou Lorenzo wrongest Hieronimo, and
- 2:15:08Speaker 3: in his suits towards his majesty, still keep'st him back
- 2:15:12Speaker 3: and seek'st to cross his suit. That I, my Lord,
- 2:15:16Speaker 3: I tell thee son. Myself have heard it said, when
- 2:15:20Speaker 3: to my sorrow I have been ashamed to answer for THEE.
- 2:15:24Speaker 3: Though thou art, my son, Lorenzo, nurst thou not the
- 2:15:29Speaker 3: common love and kindness that Eroonimo hath won by his
- 2:15:33Speaker 3: deserts within the court of Spain. Or seest thou not
- 2:15:37Speaker 3: the king my brother's care in his behalf and to
- 2:15:40Speaker 3: procure his health? Lorenzo should thou thwart his passions, and
- 2:15:47Speaker 3: he exclaim against THEE to the king, what honor wort
- 2:15:50Speaker 3: in this assembly? Or what a scandal wort among the kings?
- 2:15:54Speaker 3: To hear honor exclaim on THEE? Tell me and look
- 2:15:58Speaker 3: thou tell me true too? Whence grows the ground of
- 2:16:03Speaker 3: this report in court.
- 2:16:05Speaker 10: My lord, it lies not in Lorenzo's power to stop
- 2:16:08Speaker 10: the vulgar liberal of their tongue. A small advantage makes
- 2:16:11Speaker 10: a water breach, and no man lives that long contenteth.
- 2:16:14Speaker 3: All myself have seen me busy to keep back him
- 2:16:18Speaker 3: and his supplications from the king.
- 2:16:21Speaker 10: Yourself, my lord, had seen his passions that ill beseemed
- 2:16:24Speaker 10: the presence of a king, And for I pitied him
- 2:16:26Speaker 10: in his distress. I held him thence with kind and
- 2:16:29Speaker 10: courteous words, as free from malice to Hieronimo, as to
- 2:16:33Speaker 10: my soul.
- 2:16:33Speaker 3: My Lord, Hieronimo, my son mistakes thee, then.
- 2:16:37Speaker 10: My gracious father believe me, so he doth. But what's
- 2:16:40Speaker 10: a silly man distract in mind to think upon the
- 2:16:43Speaker 10: murder of his son alas how easy is it for
- 2:16:46Speaker 10: him to err? But for his satisfaction and the world's
- 2:16:49Speaker 10: tow are good, my Lord, that Hieronimo and I were reconciled.
- 2:16:53Speaker 3: If he misconster me, Lorenzo thou hast said it shall be,
- 2:16:57Speaker 3: so you're what of you? And pull here on them all?
- 2:17:01Speaker 1: Enter Balthazar and bel Imperia.
- 2:17:04Speaker 18: Come, bel Imperia. Balthasar's content, my sorrow's ease, and sovereign
- 2:17:09Speaker 18: of my bliss sith Heaven hath ordained thee to be mine.
- 2:17:13Speaker 18: Disperse those clouds and melancholy looks, and clear them up
- 2:17:17Speaker 18: with those thy sun bright eyes, wherein my hope and
- 2:17:21Speaker 18: Heaven's fair beauty lies.
- 2:17:23Speaker 4: My looks, my Lord, are fitting for my love, which
- 2:17:27Speaker 4: new begun can show no brighter Yet.
- 2:17:30Speaker 18: New kindled flames should burn as morning sun.
- 2:17:34Speaker 4: But not too fast, least heat and all be done.
- 2:17:37Speaker 4: I see, my lord, my father.
- 2:17:40Speaker 18: Truth, my love. I'll go salute him.
- 2:17:43Speaker 3: Welcome Baltazzar, Welcome bray Pritz, the pledge of Castile's peace.
- 2:17:49Speaker 3: And welcome bel Imperia. How now, girl, why comest thou
- 2:17:54Speaker 3: sadly to salute as thus condemn thyself? For I am sad.
- 2:18:01Speaker 3: It is not now as when Andrea lived. We have
- 2:18:04Speaker 3: forgotten and forgiven that, and thou art graced with a
- 2:18:07Speaker 3: happier love. But Baltazar, here comes Hieronimo. I'll have a
- 2:18:13Speaker 3: word with him.
- 2:18:14Speaker 1: Enter Hieronimo and a servant.
- 2:18:17Speaker 7: And where's the Duke yonder Ivenzo. What new device have
- 2:18:22Speaker 7: they devised? Trao pocasplabra smiled as the lamb? Is it?
- 2:18:26Speaker 7: I will be revenged. No, I am not the man.
- 2:18:30Speaker 3: Welcome Eronimo, Welcome Hieranimo.
- 2:18:33Speaker 18: Welcome Hieronimo.
- 2:18:35Speaker 7: My lords, I thank you for Harasio Eronimo.
- 2:18:39Speaker 3: The reason that I sent to speak with you? Is this?
- 2:18:42Speaker 7: What so short? Then I'll be gone? I thank you
- 2:18:45Speaker 7: for it.
- 2:18:46Speaker 3: Nay, stay here, Onimo, go call him son.
- 2:18:50Speaker 10: Hieronimo, my father.
- 2:18:52Speaker 7: Craig's a word with you with me, sir, Why, my lord,
- 2:18:55Speaker 7: I thought you had done?
- 2:18:57Speaker 1: Now aside what.
- 2:18:59Speaker 3: He had Eeronimo, I hear you find yourself aggrieved at
- 2:19:03Speaker 3: my son because you have not access unto the king,
- 2:19:07Speaker 3: and say it is he that intercepts your suits.
- 2:19:10Speaker 7: Why is not this a miserable thing?
- 2:19:12Speaker 3: My lord Eeronimo, I hope you have no cause and
- 2:19:16Speaker 3: would be loathed that one of your deserts should once
- 2:19:18Speaker 3: have reason to suspect my son, considering how I think
- 2:19:22Speaker 3: of you, myself.
- 2:19:24Speaker 7: Your son Lorenzo, oh, my noble lord, the hope of Spain,
- 2:19:29Speaker 7: myn honorable friend, grant me the combat of them.
- 2:19:32Speaker 1: If they dare draws out his sword, I'll.
- 2:19:35Speaker 7: Meet him face to face to tell me. So these
- 2:19:38Speaker 7: be the scandalous reports of such as love not me
- 2:19:40Speaker 7: and hate my lord too much? Should I suspect Lorenzo
- 2:19:45Speaker 7: will prevent a cross my suit that loved my son
- 2:19:48Speaker 7: so well? My Lord? I am ashamed, it should be.
- 2:19:51Speaker 10: Said, Eronimo, I never gave you cause.
- 2:19:54Speaker 7: My good lord, I know you did not.
- 2:19:57Speaker 3: There then pause for the satisfaction of the world. Hieronimo,
- 2:20:02Speaker 3: frequent my Hormley house, the Duke of Castile Cyprian's ancient seat,
- 2:20:08Speaker 3: and when thou wilt use me my son and it
- 2:20:12Speaker 3: but here before Prince Baltazar and me embrace each other
- 2:20:17Speaker 3: and be perfect friends.
- 2:20:19Speaker 7: I marry my lord and shall friends. Quoth he see,
- 2:20:25Speaker 7: I'll be friends with you all, especially with you, my
- 2:20:28Speaker 7: lovely lord, for diverse causes. It is fit for us
- 2:20:31Speaker 7: that we be friends the world suspicious, and men may
- 2:20:35Speaker 7: think what we imagine.
- 2:20:36Speaker 18: Not why this is friendly?
- 2:20:39Speaker 10: Done Hieronimo, and that I hope, Oh the grudges are forgot?
- 2:20:43Speaker 7: What else it were a shame, it would.
- 2:20:45Speaker 27: Not be so.
- 2:20:47Speaker 3: Come on, Hirnamo, at my request, let us entreat your company.
- 2:20:51Speaker 7: To day accient, your lordship's to command, Pah, keep your way,
- 2:20:58Speaker 7: kim ifap you Koretz, Canon Suoi, Tratto miha or Tradar Miboli.
- 2:21:05Speaker 1: Accept Sceane sixteen and her ghost and revenge.
- 2:21:12Speaker 2: Awake carries though Cerberus awake, Solicit Pluto, Gentle Proserpine to
- 2:21:21Speaker 2: combat Agiron and Eribos for ne'er by sticks and flaggethon
- 2:21:28Speaker 2: in Hell or varied Kron to the Fiery Lake. Such
- 2:21:33Speaker 2: fearful sights as poor Andrea sees revenge.
- 2:21:38Speaker 28: Awake awake for why awake revenge for thou art ill
- 2:21:46Speaker 28: advised to sleep awake?
- 2:21:50Speaker 2: What them Art want to.
- 2:21:52Speaker 15: Watch content thyself, and do not trouble me.
- 2:21:56Speaker 2: Awake revenge if love, as love hath had have yet
- 2:22:02Speaker 2: the power of prevalence. In hell, Hieronimo with Lorenzo, is
- 2:22:07Speaker 2: joined in league and intercepts our passage to revenge. Awake revenge,
- 2:22:15Speaker 2: or we are woe begone.
- 2:22:18Speaker 15: Thus world things ground what they have dreamed upon. Content thyself, Andrea,
- 2:22:24Speaker 15: though I sleep yet is my mood soliciting their souls.
- 2:22:29Speaker 15: Sufficeth thee that poor Hieronimo cannot forget his son Horatio,
- 2:22:35Speaker 15: nor dies revenge although he sleep awhile for an unquiet
- 2:22:39Speaker 15: quietness is faint, and slumbering is a commonwealthy. While behold
- 2:22:46Speaker 15: Andrea for an instance, how revenge hath slept? And then
- 2:22:51Speaker 15: imagine thou what tist to be subject to destiny?
- 2:22:56Speaker 1: Enter a dumb show.
- 2:22:58Speaker 2: Awake revenge. Reveal this mystery.
- 2:23:03Speaker 18: Hullo the two.
- 2:23:05Speaker 15: First the nuptial torches bore as brightly burning as the
- 2:23:09Speaker 15: mid day sun. But after them doth thymen highest, fast
- 2:23:14Speaker 15: clothed in sable and the saffron robe, and blows them out,
- 2:23:19Speaker 15: and quencheth them with blood. As discontent that things continue.
- 2:23:24Speaker 2: So sufficeth me thy meanings understood, and thanks to THEE
- 2:23:32Speaker 2: and those infernal powers that will not tolerate a lover's woe,
- 2:23:40Speaker 2: rest THEE, for I will sit to see the rest.
- 2:23:45Speaker 15: Then argue not, for thou hast thy.
- 2:23:48Speaker 1: Request accient and of Act three, Act four of the
- 2:24:05Speaker 1: Spanish Tragedy. This LibriVox recording is in the public domain.
- 2:24:10Speaker 1: The Spanish Tragedy by Thomas Kidd, Act four, Scene one,
- 2:24:17Speaker 1: enter bel Imperia and Hieronimo.
- 2:24:20Speaker 4: Is this the love thou bearest, Horatio? Is this the
- 2:24:24Speaker 4: kindness that thou counterfeits? Are these the fruits of thine
- 2:24:29Speaker 4: incessant tears, Hieronimo. Are these thy passions, thy protestations, and
- 2:24:36Speaker 4: thy deep laments that thou wert wont to weary men
- 2:24:41Speaker 4: withal o unkind father, O deceitful world? With what excuses
- 2:24:49Speaker 4: canst thou show thyself from this dishonor and the hate
- 2:24:53Speaker 4: of men? Thus to neglect the loss and life of
- 2:24:57Speaker 4: him whom both my letters and thine own belief assures
- 2:25:02Speaker 4: THEE to be causeless slaughtered, Hieronimo. For shame, Hieronimo, be
- 2:25:08Speaker 4: not a history to after times of such ingratitude, unto
- 2:25:14Speaker 4: thy son unhappy mothers of such children, then, but monstrous
- 2:25:20Speaker 4: fathers to forget so soon the death of those whom they,
- 2:25:25Speaker 4: with care and cost have tendered. So thus careless should
- 2:25:30Speaker 4: be lost myself a stranger in respect of thee so
- 2:25:35Speaker 4: loved his life, as still I wish their deaths. Nor
- 2:25:39Speaker 4: shall his death be unrevenged by me, although I bear
- 2:25:43Speaker 4: it out for fashion's sake. For here I swear in
- 2:25:48Speaker 4: sight of Heaven and Earth, shouldst thou neglect the love
- 2:25:52Speaker 4: thou shouldest retain and give it over and devise no more?
- 2:25:57Speaker 4: Myself should send their eightful souls to hell that wrought
- 2:26:02Speaker 4: his downfall with extremest death.
- 2:26:06Speaker 7: But may it be that bel Imperia vows such revenge
- 2:26:09Speaker 7: as she hath deigned to say? Or then I see
- 2:26:12Speaker 7: that Han applies our drift, and all the saints do
- 2:26:15Speaker 7: sit soliciting for vengeance on those cursed murderers. Madam, tis true,
- 2:26:21Speaker 7: and now I find it. So I found a letter
- 2:26:24Speaker 7: written in your name, And in that letter how Horatio died. Pardon, oh,
- 2:26:30Speaker 7: pardon bell Imperia. My fear and care in not believing it,
- 2:26:34Speaker 7: nor think I thoughtless think upon a mien to let
- 2:26:37Speaker 7: his death be unrevenged at full. And here I vow
- 2:26:41Speaker 7: so you but give consent and will conceal my resolution.
- 2:26:45Speaker 7: I will ere long determine of their deaths that causeless.
- 2:26:49Speaker 7: Thus have murdered my son.
- 2:26:51Speaker 4: Hieronimo, I will consent, conceal and aught that may effect
- 2:26:56Speaker 4: far thine avail, join with thee to reve Horatio's death.
- 2:27:02Speaker 7: On then, and whatsoever I devise, let me entreat you
- 2:27:06Speaker 7: grace my practices. For why the plot's already in mine head.
- 2:27:11Speaker 1: Here they are and her Balthizar and Lorenzo.
- 2:27:15Speaker 18: How now, Hieronimo, what courting bel Imperia.
- 2:27:19Speaker 7: Ay, my lord, such courting as I promise you, she
- 2:27:23Speaker 7: hath my heart, But you, my lord, have hers.
- 2:27:26Speaker 10: But now, Hieronimo, or never, we are to entreat.
- 2:27:29Speaker 7: Your help my help. Why, my good lords, assure yourselves
- 2:27:33Speaker 7: of me, for you have given me cause I by
- 2:27:36Speaker 7: my faith have you.
- 2:27:38Speaker 18: It pleased you at the entertainment of the ambassador to
- 2:27:41Speaker 18: grace the king so much as with a show. Now
- 2:27:44Speaker 18: were your study so well furnished, as for the passing
- 2:27:47Speaker 18: of the first night's sport, to entertain my father with
- 2:27:50Speaker 18: the like or any such like pleasing motion, Assure yourself
- 2:27:54Speaker 18: it would content them. Well is this all? Ay? This
- 2:27:58Speaker 18: is all?
- 2:27:59Speaker 7: Why then I'll fit you say no more. When I
- 2:28:03Speaker 7: was young, I gave my mind and implied myself to
- 2:28:05Speaker 7: fruitless poetry, which, though it profit the professor, not yet
- 2:28:09Speaker 7: is it passing pleasing to the world?
- 2:28:11Speaker 10: And how for that?
- 2:28:13Speaker 7: Marry my good lord? Thus, and yet methinks you are
- 2:28:16Speaker 7: too quick with us. When in Toledo, there I studied,
- 2:28:20Speaker 7: it was my chance to write a tragedy. See here,
- 2:28:23Speaker 7: my lords, he shows them a book which long for
- 2:28:26Speaker 7: good I found this other day. Now would your lordships
- 2:28:30Speaker 7: favor me so much as but to grace me with
- 2:28:32Speaker 7: your acting it? I mean each one of you to
- 2:28:35Speaker 7: play a part. Assure you it will prove most passing,
- 2:28:38Speaker 7: strange and wondrous plausible to that assembly.
- 2:28:41Speaker 18: What would you have us play a tragedy?
- 2:28:44Speaker 7: Why? Nero thought it no disparagement, And kings and emperors
- 2:28:47Speaker 7: have taanned delight to make experience of their wits and plays.
- 2:28:51Speaker 10: Nay, be not angry, good Hieronimo the prince, but asked
- 2:28:55Speaker 10: the question.
- 2:28:56Speaker 18: In faith, Hieronimo, and you be in earnest. I'll make
- 2:29:00Speaker 18: one and I another.
- 2:29:02Speaker 7: Now, my good lord, could you entreat your sister bel Imperia,
- 2:29:05Speaker 7: to make one. For what's a play without a woman
- 2:29:07Speaker 7: in it?
- 2:29:08Speaker 4: Little entreaty shall serve me, Hieronimo, For I must needs
- 2:29:13Speaker 4: be employed in your play.
- 2:29:16Speaker 7: Why this is well, I tell you, Lordings. It was
- 2:29:19Speaker 7: determined to have been acted by gentlemen and scholars too,
- 2:29:23Speaker 7: such as could tell what to speak.
- 2:29:25Speaker 18: And now it shall be played by princes and courtiers,
- 2:29:28Speaker 18: such as can tell how to speak. If, as it
- 2:29:31Speaker 18: is our country manner, you will, but let us know
- 2:29:33Speaker 18: the argument.
- 2:29:35Speaker 7: That shall I roundly. The chronicles of Spain record this
- 2:29:39Speaker 7: written of a Knight of Rhodes. He was betrothed and
- 2:29:42Speaker 7: wedded at the length to one Perseda, an Italian dame
- 2:29:45Speaker 7: whose beauty ravished all that are beheld, especially the soul
- 2:29:50Speaker 7: of Soliman, who at the marriage was the chiefest guest
- 2:29:55Speaker 7: by sundry means. Sought Soliman to win Perseda's love, and
- 2:29:59Speaker 7: could not gain the same. Then gan he brake his
- 2:30:03Speaker 7: passion to a friend, one of his bashaws, whom he
- 2:30:06Speaker 7: held full dear. Her had this bashaw long solicited, and
- 2:30:12Speaker 7: saw she was not otherwise to be won, but by
- 2:30:14Speaker 7: her husband's death. This Knight of Rhodes, whom presently by
- 2:30:18Speaker 7: a treachery he slew, she stirred with an exceeding hate. Therefore,
- 2:30:23Speaker 7: as cause of this slew Sollyman, and to escape the
- 2:30:26Speaker 7: Basha's tyranny, did stab herself. And this the tragedy, Oh excellent, But.
- 2:30:32Speaker 4: Say Hieronimo, what then became of him?
- 2:30:35Speaker 6: That was the.
- 2:30:36Speaker 7: Barshal marry thus moved, with remorse of his misdeeds, ran
- 2:30:41Speaker 7: to a mountain top and hung himself.
- 2:30:43Speaker 18: But which of us is to perform that part?
- 2:30:45Speaker 23: Oh?
- 2:30:46Speaker 7: That will lie, my lords, make no doubt of it.
- 2:30:48Speaker 7: I'll play the murderer, I warrant you, for I already
- 2:30:51Speaker 7: have conceded that. And what shall I Great Soliman the
- 2:30:55Speaker 7: Turkish Emperor, and I erast Us, the Knight of Rhodes,
- 2:31:00Speaker 7: And I persade chaste and resolute. And here, my lords,
- 2:31:05Speaker 7: are several abstracts drawn for each of you, to note
- 2:31:08Speaker 7: your parts and acted as occasions offered you. You must
- 2:31:12Speaker 7: provide a Turkish cap, a black mustachio, and a falcion.
- 2:31:17Speaker 1: Gives a paper to Balthazar.
- 2:31:19Speaker 7: You with a cross like to a Knight of Rhodes.
- 2:31:22Speaker 1: Gives another to Lorenzo.
- 2:31:25Speaker 7: And Madam you must attire yourself.
- 2:31:28Speaker 1: He giveth bel Imperia, another.
- 2:31:30Speaker 7: Like Phoebe Flora or the Huntress, which, to your discretion
- 2:31:34Speaker 7: shall seem best. And as for me, my lords, I'll
- 2:31:38Speaker 7: look to one and with the ransom that the viceroy sent,
- 2:31:41Speaker 7: so furnish and perform this tragedy. As all the world
- 2:31:45Speaker 7: shall say, Hieronimo was liberal and gracing of it.
- 2:31:48Speaker 18: So Hieronimo methinks a comedy were better.
- 2:31:53Speaker 7: A comedy, fine comedy is are fit for common wits.
- 2:31:57Speaker 7: But to present a kingly troop withal, give me a
- 2:32:00Speaker 7: stately written tragedy tragadiacnotata fitting kings, containing matter and not
- 2:32:07Speaker 7: common things, My lords, All this must be performed as
- 2:32:11Speaker 7: fitting for the first night's reveling. The Italian tragedians were
- 2:32:15Speaker 7: so sharp of wit that in one hour's meditation they
- 2:32:18Speaker 7: would perform anything in action.
- 2:32:20Speaker 10: And well it may, for I have seen the like
- 2:32:23Speaker 10: in Paris, amongst the French tragedians.
- 2:32:26Speaker 7: In Paris, mass and well remembered. There's one thing more
- 2:32:30Speaker 7: that rests for us to do.
- 2:32:32Speaker 18: What's that, Hieronimo, forget not anything.
- 2:32:35Speaker 7: Each one of us must act his part in unknown languages,
- 2:32:39Speaker 7: that it may breed the more variety as you my
- 2:32:42Speaker 7: lord in Latin, I in Greek, you an Italian. And
- 2:32:46Speaker 7: for because I know that bel Imperia hath practiced the
- 2:32:48Speaker 7: French in courtly French, shall all her phrases be?
- 2:32:53Speaker 4: You mean to try my cunning, then, Hieronimo, But.
- 2:32:56Speaker 18: This will be a mere confusion, and hardly shall we
- 2:32:59Speaker 18: all be understood.
- 2:33:01Speaker 7: It must be so, for the conclusion shall prove the
- 2:33:04Speaker 7: invention and all was good. And eye myself in an oration,
- 2:33:08Speaker 7: and with a strange and wondrous show, besides that I
- 2:33:11Speaker 7: will have there behind a curtain. Assure yourself shall make
- 2:33:15Speaker 7: the matter known, and all shall be concluded in one scene.
- 2:33:19Speaker 7: For there is no pleasure tain in tediousness?
- 2:33:22Speaker 18: How like you this?
- 2:33:23Speaker 10: Why thus, my lord, we must resolve to soothe his
- 2:33:26Speaker 10: humors up.
- 2:33:28Speaker 18: On then, Hieronimo, farewell till soon you'll.
- 2:33:31Speaker 7: Ply this gear.
- 2:33:33Speaker 1: I warrant you accient all.
- 2:33:35Speaker 7: But Hieronimo, why so now shall I see the fall
- 2:33:39Speaker 7: of Babylon wrought by the heavens in this confusion? And
- 2:33:43Speaker 7: if the world like not this tragedy, hard is the
- 2:33:46Speaker 7: hap of old Hieronimo?
- 2:33:48Speaker 1: Accept scene too, Enter Isabella with a weapon.
- 2:33:54Speaker 21: Tell me no more home, monstrous homicides, since neither piety
- 2:33:59Speaker 21: nor pity he moves the king to justice or compassion.
- 2:34:03Speaker 21: I will revenge myself upon this place where thus they
- 2:34:06Speaker 21: murdered my beloved son.
- 2:34:08Speaker 1: She cuts down the arbor.
- 2:34:11Speaker 21: Down with these branches, and these loathsome boughs of this
- 2:34:14Speaker 21: unfortunate and fatal pine. Down with them, Isabella, rent them
- 2:34:19Speaker 21: up and burn the roots, from whence the rest is sprung.
- 2:34:22Speaker 21: I will not leave a root, a stalk, a tree,
- 2:34:25Speaker 21: a bough, a branch, a blossom, nor a leaf, No,
- 2:34:30Speaker 21: not an herb within this garden plot, a cursed complot
- 2:34:34Speaker 21: of my misery fruitless. Forever may this garden be barren
- 2:34:39Speaker 21: the earth and blissless, whosoe'er imagines not to keep it unminured.
- 2:34:45Speaker 21: An eastern wind commixed with noisome airs shall blast the
- 2:34:49Speaker 21: plants and the young saplings. The earth with serpents shall
- 2:34:53Speaker 21: be pestered, and passengers, for fear to be infect shall
- 2:34:57Speaker 21: stand aloof and looking at at it. Tell there murdered
- 2:35:04Speaker 21: died the son of Isabel. Aye here he died, and
- 2:35:08Speaker 21: hear I him embrace, see where his ghost solicits with
- 2:35:12Speaker 21: his wounds, revenge on her that should revenge his death. Hieronimo,
- 2:35:19Speaker 21: make haste see thy son for sorrow and despair. Hath
- 2:35:23Speaker 21: sighted me to hear Horatio plead with radamanth make haste
- 2:35:29Speaker 21: Hieronimo to hold excused thy negligence in pursuit of their deaths,
- 2:35:34Speaker 21: whose hateful wrath bereaved him.
- 2:35:35Speaker 18: Of his breath.
- 2:35:38Speaker 21: Ah, nay, thou dost delay their deaths, forgivest the murderers
- 2:35:42Speaker 21: of thy noble son, and none. But I bestir me
- 2:35:47Speaker 21: to no end. And as I curse this tree from
- 2:35:51Speaker 21: further fruit, so shall my wound be cursed for his sake.
- 2:35:56Speaker 21: And with this weapon will I wound the breast, the
- 2:36:00Speaker 21: hapless breast that gave Horatio suck.
- 2:36:04Speaker 1: She stabs herself. Scene three, Enter Hieronimo, He knocks up
- 2:36:09Speaker 1: the curtain. Enter the Duke of Castile.
- 2:36:13Speaker 3: Oh now, Heronimo, where's your fellows that you take all
- 2:36:17Speaker 3: this pain?
- 2:36:19Speaker 7: Oh sir, it is for the author's credit to look
- 2:36:21Speaker 7: that all things may go well. But good, my lord,
- 2:36:24Speaker 7: let me entreat your grace to give the king the
- 2:36:26Speaker 7: copy of the play. This is the argument of what
- 2:36:29Speaker 7: we show.
- 2:36:30Speaker 3: I will Eronimo one thing more, My good lord, what's that?
- 2:36:35Speaker 7: Let me entreat your grace that when the train are
- 2:36:37Speaker 7: passed into the gallery, you would vouchsafe to throw me
- 2:36:40Speaker 7: down the quay.
- 2:36:42Speaker 1: I will er Onimo, exit Castile.
- 2:36:46Speaker 7: What are you ready, Balthasar, bring a chair and a
- 2:36:49Speaker 7: cushion for the king.
- 2:36:50Speaker 1: Enter Balthissar with a chair.
- 2:36:52Speaker 7: Well done, Balthazar, hang up the title. I'll scene as Rhodes.
- 2:36:57Speaker 7: What is your beard on?
- 2:36:59Speaker 18: Half on the other is in my hand?
- 2:37:02Speaker 7: Despatch for shame? Are you so long? Exit Balthazzar, bethink thyself, Hieronimo,

- 2:38:41Speaker 18: every excellence that Solomon can give, or thou desire, but
- 2:38:45Speaker 18: thy desert in conquering Rhodes is less than in reserving
- 2:38:49Speaker 18: this fair Christian Perseda, blissful lamp of excellence, whose eyes
- 2:38:54Speaker 18: compel like powerful adamant the warlike heart of Solomon to wait.
- 2:39:00Speaker 16: See by stroy that is Paltas r, your son, that

- 2:41:11Speaker 4: Tyrant desist soliciting vain suits. Relentless are mine ears to
- 2:41:16Speaker 4: thy laments, as thy butcher is pitiless and base, which
- 2:41:21Speaker 4: seized on my Erasto, harmless knight. Yet by thy power
- 2:41:27Speaker 4: thou thinkest to command and to thy power perceeda doth obey.
- 2:41:33Speaker 4: But were she able, thus she would revenge thy treacheries
- 2:41:37Speaker 4: on thee ignoble prince stabs him, and on herself she
- 2:41:43Speaker 4: would be thus revenged.
- 2:41:46Speaker 1: Stabs herself.
- 2:41:48Speaker 16: Well, said old Marshal, this was bravely done.
- 2:41:52Speaker 7: But bell Imperia plays Persada well?
- 2:41:55Speaker 6: Were this in earnest bel Imperia, you would be better
- 2:41:57Speaker 6: to my son than soul.
- 2:41:59Speaker 27: But now what follows for Eronimo Mary, this follows for
- 2:42:04Speaker 27: Hieronimo here break we off our sundry languages, and does
- 2:42:08Speaker 27: conclude I in our vulgar tongue.
- 2:42:11Speaker 7: Haply you think, but bootless are your thoughts that this
- 2:42:15Speaker 7: is fabulously counterfeit, and that we do all as tragedians do,
- 2:42:21Speaker 7: to die to day for fashioning our scene the death
- 2:42:24Speaker 7: of Ajax or some Roman peer, and in a minute
- 2:42:27Speaker 7: starting up again revived, Please tomorrow's audience, No, princes, No,
- 2:42:34Speaker 7: I am Hieronimo, the hopeless father of a hapless son,
- 2:42:38Speaker 7: whose tongue is tuned to tell his latest tale. Not
- 2:42:42Speaker 7: to excuse gross errors in the play. I see your
- 2:42:47Speaker 7: looks urge instance of these words. Behold the reason urging.
- 2:42:51Speaker 1: Me to this shows his dead son.
- 2:42:54Speaker 7: See here my show, look on this spectacle. Here lay
- 2:42:59Speaker 7: my hope, and here my hope hath end. Here lay
- 2:43:03Speaker 7: ma heart, and here my heart was slain. Here lay
- 2:43:08Speaker 7: my treasure, here my treasure lost. Here lay my bliss,
- 2:43:14Speaker 7: and here my bliss bereft. But hope, heart, treasure, joy
- 2:43:19Speaker 7: and bliss all fled, failed died. Yea all decay'd with this.
- 2:43:26Speaker 7: From forth these wounds came breath that gave me life.
- 2:43:29Speaker 7: They murdered me, that made these fatal marks. The cause
- 2:43:33Speaker 7: was love, whence grew this mortal hate, the hate Lorenzo
- 2:43:38Speaker 7: and young Balthazar, the love my son to bel Imperia.
- 2:43:44Speaker 7: But Night, the coverer of accursed crimes, with pitchy silence,
- 2:43:50Speaker 7: hushed these traitors harms and let them leave, for they
- 2:43:53Speaker 7: had sordid leisure to take advantage in my garden plot.
- 2:43:58Speaker 7: Pon my son, my dear horace you there, merciless. They
- 2:44:02Speaker 7: butchered up my boy, and black dark night to pale,
- 2:44:06Speaker 7: dim cruel death. He shrieks, I heard, and yet methinks
- 2:44:11Speaker 7: I hear his dismal outcry echo in the air. With
- 2:44:16Speaker 7: soonest speed, I hastened to the noise, where hanging on
- 2:44:19Speaker 7: a tree I found my son, threw girt with wounds
- 2:44:23Speaker 7: and slaughtered as you see, and grieved. I think you
- 2:44:27Speaker 7: at this spectacle, speak Portuguese, whose loss resembles mine? If
- 2:44:32Speaker 7: thou canst weep upon thy Balthazar, tis like I wailed
- 2:44:35Speaker 7: for my Horatio, And you, my lord, whose reconciled son
- 2:44:40Speaker 7: marched in a net and thought himself unseen and rated
- 2:44:44Speaker 7: me for brainsick lunacy. With God amend that mad Hieronimo,
- 2:44:49Speaker 7: how can you brook our play's catastrophe? And here behold
- 2:44:53Speaker 7: this bloody handkerchier, which, at Horatio's death I weeping dipped
- 2:44:58Speaker 7: with the river of his bleeding wounds. It as propitious,
- 2:45:02Speaker 7: see I have reserved in never hath it left my
- 2:45:05Speaker 7: bloody heart soliciting remembrance of my vow with these O,
- 2:45:10Speaker 7: these accursed murderers, which now performed, My heart is satisfied.
- 2:45:15Speaker 7: And to this end the bashah I became that might
- 2:45:17Speaker 7: revenge me on Lorenzo's life, who therefore was appointed to
- 2:45:21Speaker 7: the pot and was to represent the Knight of Rhodes,
- 2:45:24Speaker 7: that I might kill him. More conveniently, so Viceroy was
- 2:45:28Speaker 7: this Balthazar thy son, that sully man, which bel Imperia
- 2:45:32Speaker 7: and person of Proseda murdered, solely appointed to that tragic pot,
- 2:45:37Speaker 7: that she might slay him that offended her. Poor bel
- 2:45:41Speaker 7: Imperia missed her pot in this, for though the story
- 2:45:44Speaker 7: saith she should have died, yet I, of kindness and
- 2:45:47Speaker 7: of care to her, did otherwise determine of her end.
- 2:45:51Speaker 7: But love of him whom they did hate too much,
- 2:45:54Speaker 7: did urge her resolution to be such and princes now
- 2:45:59Speaker 7: behold hereon author and actor in this tragedy, bearing his
- 2:46:03Speaker 7: latest fortune in his fist, and will as resolute conclude
- 2:46:08Speaker 7: his part, and gentles. Thus I end my play, urge
- 2:46:11Speaker 7: no more words. I have no more to say.
- 2:46:18Speaker 1: He runs to hang himself.
- 2:46:21Speaker 16: Oh hearken, Miceroy, Hold Hieronimo. Rather, my nephew and thy
- 2:46:26Speaker 16: son are slain.
- 2:46:28Speaker 6: We are betrayed. My Bathazar is slain. Break up the doors,
- 2:46:33Speaker 6: run save Hieronimo.
- 2:46:35Speaker 1: They break in and hold Hieronimo.
- 2:46:38Speaker 6: Hieronimo, do but inform the King of these events upon
- 2:46:41Speaker 6: mine honor? Thou shalt have no harm.
- 2:46:44Speaker 7: Viceroy, I will not trust THEE with my life, which
- 2:46:46Speaker 7: I this day have offered to my son, a cursed wretch.
- 2:46:50Speaker 7: Why stayest thou him that was resolved to die?
- 2:46:53Speaker 16: Speak, traitor, damned bloody murderers speak? For now I have THEE.
- 2:46:59Speaker 16: I will make THEE speak. Why hast thou done this
- 2:47:03Speaker 16: undiserving deed?
- 2:47:05Speaker 6: Why hast them murdered my Balthazar?
- 2:47:08Speaker 3: Why hast thou butchered booth thy children? Thus?
- 2:47:12Speaker 7: But are you sure they are dead.
- 2:47:14Speaker 3: I sleeve too sure, what in yours too? Ay?
- 2:47:18Speaker 6: All are dead? Not one of them survive?
- 2:47:21Speaker 7: Nay? Then I care not come and we shall be friends.
- 2:47:25Speaker 7: Let us lay our heads together. See here's a goodly
- 2:47:29Speaker 7: news will hold them all?
- 2:47:31Speaker 6: Oh, damned devil, how secure he is?
- 2:47:34Speaker 7: Secure? Why dost thou wonder at it? I tell thee
- 2:47:38Speaker 7: by sproy this day I have seen revenge. And in
- 2:47:41Speaker 7: that sight am grown a prouder monarch then ever sat
- 2:47:45Speaker 7: under the crown of Spain. Had I as many lives
- 2:47:48Speaker 7: as there be stars, as many heavens to go to.
- 2:47:52Speaker 7: As those lives, I'd give them all ay and my
- 2:47:55Speaker 7: soul to boot, but I would see THEE ride in
- 2:47:58Speaker 7: this red pool. O good words, as dear to me?
- 2:48:03Speaker 7: Was my horatio, as yours or yours or yours, my
- 2:48:06Speaker 7: lord to you? My guiltless son was by Lorenzo slain,
- 2:48:11Speaker 7: and by Lorenzo, and that Balthasar, upon whose souls may
- 2:48:14Speaker 7: heavens be yet avenged with greater father than these afflictions.
- 2:48:18Speaker 3: But who were thy confederates in this?
- 2:48:21Speaker 6: That was thy daughter bell Imperia. For by her hand
- 2:48:24Speaker 6: my Balthasar was slain. I saw her stab him.
- 2:48:27Speaker 7: Why speak'st thou not what less a liberty can kings
- 2:48:31Speaker 7: afford than harmless silence then afforded me sufficeth I may not,
- 2:48:38Speaker 7: nor I will not tell THEE.
- 2:48:39Speaker 16: Fetch forth the tortures, traitor, rest thou art, I'll make
- 2:48:44Speaker 16: THEE tell.
- 2:48:46Speaker 7: Indeed, thou mayest torment me as his wretched son hath
- 2:48:49Speaker 7: done in murdering my horatio. But never shalt thou force
- 2:48:53Speaker 7: me to reveal the thing which I have vowed in violate.
- 2:48:56Speaker 7: And therefore, in despite of all thy threats, pleased with
- 2:49:00Speaker 7: their death and eased with their revenge, first take my
- 2:49:03Speaker 7: tongue and afterwards my heart meh.
- 2:49:07Speaker 1: He bites out his tongue.
- 2:49:10Speaker 16: Oh, monstrous resolution of a wretch, see Viceroy. He hath
- 2:49:15Speaker 16: beaten forth his tongue rather than to reveal what we required.
- 2:49:20Speaker 3: Yet can he write?
- 2:49:22Speaker 16: And if in this he satisfy us not, we will
- 2:49:25Speaker 16: devise the extremest kind of death that ever was invented
- 2:49:29Speaker 16: for a wretch.
- 2:49:31Speaker 1: Then he makes signs for a knife to mend his pen.
- 2:49:35Speaker 3: Ooh, he would have a knife to mend his pen.
- 2:49:38Speaker 6: Here and advise THEE that thou ride the troth look
- 2:49:42Speaker 6: to my brother save Hieronimo, He with.
- 2:49:45Speaker 1: A knife stabs the Duke and himself.
- 2:49:48Speaker 16: What age hath ever heard such monstrous deeds? My brother
- 2:49:53Speaker 16: and the whole succeeding hope that Spain expected after my decease,
- 2:49:59Speaker 16: go bears body, hence that we may mourn the loss
- 2:50:03Speaker 16: of our beloved brother's death, that he may be intooned
- 2:50:07Speaker 16: whatever before I am the next, the nearest last of all.
- 2:50:13Speaker 6: And thou don pedro do the like for us, take
- 2:50:16Speaker 6: up our hapless sun, untimeless lain set me with him,
- 2:50:20Speaker 6: and he Withwoffel me upon the men mast of a
- 2:50:23Speaker 6: ship unmanned, and let the wind untide haul me along
- 2:50:27Speaker 6: to Scylla's barking an untamed gulf, or to the loathsome
- 2:50:31Speaker 6: pull of acheron to weep my want for my sweet Balthazar.
- 2:50:36Speaker 6: Spain hath no refuge for a Portingall the.
- 2:50:40Speaker 1: Trumpets sound a dead march. The King of Spain morning

- 2:50:47Speaker 1: the body of his son. Scene five, enter ghost and revenge.
- 2:50:54Speaker 19: Aye.
- 2:50:55Speaker 2: Now my hopes have end in that effect, when blood
- 2:50:59Speaker 2: and sorrow finish my desires. Horatio murder'd in his father's
- 2:51:06Speaker 2: bower vild serbarein by Peedringano slain, False Pedringano hang'd by
- 2:51:15Speaker 2: quaint device, Fair Isabella by herself misdunn. Prince Balthazar by
- 2:51:24Speaker 2: bel Imperia stab'd, the Duke of Castile and his wicked son,
- 2:51:31Speaker 2: both done to death by old Hieronimo, my bel Imperia
- 2:51:38Speaker 2: fallen as Dido fell, and good Hieronimo slain by himself. Ay,
- 2:51:48Speaker 2: these were spectacles to please my soul. Now will I

- 2:53:05Speaker 15: none but furies, bugs, and tortures dwell.
- 2:53:09Speaker 2: Then, sweet revenge, do this at my request. Let me
- 2:53:14Speaker 2: be judge and doom them to unrest. Let loose portitious
- 2:53:20Speaker 2: from the vultures gripe, and let Don Ciprian supply his room.
- 2:53:27Speaker 2: Place Don Lorenz on Ixion's wheel, and let the lover's

- 2:54:11Speaker 2: Let him be dragged through boiling acron, and there live,
- 2:54:17Speaker 2: dying still in endless flames, blaspheming gods and all their
- 2:54:24Speaker 2: holy names.
- 2:54:27Speaker 15: Then haste be down to meet thy friends and foes,
- 2:54:31Speaker 15: to place thy friends in ease the rest in voes.
