Act 5 — ACT V.
Reading edition
SCENE I.
Albano’s house; a Street; the Duke’s palace.
The curtains are drawn by a Page, and Celia and Laverdure, Quadratus and Lyzabetta, Lampatho and Meletza, Simplicius and Lucia, displayed, sitting at dinner. The song is sung, during which a Page whispers with Simplicius.
Lam. I commend, commend myself to ye, lady.
Mel. In troth, sir, you dwell far from neighbours, that are enforced to commend yourself.
Qua. Why, Simplicius, whither now, man? for good fashion’s sake, stir not; sit still, sit still.
Sim. I must needs rise; much good do it you.
Qua. Doest thou think thy rising will do them much good? Sit still; sit still; carve me of that, good Meletza. Fill, Bacchus, fill! 11
Sim. I must needs be gone; and you’ll come to my chamber to-morrow morning, I send you a hundred crowns.
Qua. In the name of prosperity, what tide of happiness so suddenly flow’d upon thee?
Sim. I’ll keep a horse and four boys, with grace of fortune now.
Qua. Now, then, i’faith, get up and ride. 19
Sim. And I do not, I’ll thwack[541] a jerkin till he groan again with gold lace. Let me see; what should I desire of God? Marry, a cloak, lined with rich taffeta; white satin suit; and my gilt rapier from pawn: nay, she shall give me a chain of pearl, that shall pay for all. Good-bye, good signior; good-bye, good signior.
Qua. Why, now, thou speaketh in the most embraced fashion that our time hugs; no sooner a good fortune or a fresh suit falls upon a fellow that would ha’ been gull’d to ha’ shoved into your society, but, and he me[e]t you, he fronts you with a faint eye, throws a squint glance over a wried shoulder, and cries ’twixt the teeth, as very parsimonious of breath, “Good-bye, good signior; good-bye, good signior.” Death, I will search the lifeblood of your hopes. 34
Sim. And a fresh pearl-colour silk stocking—— O ay, ay, ay, ay, I’ll go to the half-crown ordinary[542] every meal; I’ll have my ivory box of tobacco; I’ll converse with none but counts and courtiers. Now,—good-bye, good signior,—a pair of massy silver spurs, too, a hatch[543] short sword, and then your embroider’d hanger;[544] and, good signior—— 41
Qua. Shut the windows, darken the room, fetch whips; the fellow is mad: he raves, he raves,—talks idly,—lunatic: who procures thy——
Sim. One that has ate fat capon, suck’d the boil’d chicken, and let out his wit with the fool of bounty, one Fabius. I’ll scorn him; he goes upon Fridays in black satin. 48
Qua. Fabius! By this light, a cogging cheator:[545] he lives on love of merchants’ wives; he stands on the base of mains;[546] he furnisheth your ordinary, for which he feeds scot-free; keeps fair gold in his purse, to put on upon mains, by which he lives, and keeps a fair boy at his heels: he is damn’d Fabius.
Sim. He is a fine man, law, and has a good wit; for when he list he can go in black satin, ay, and in a cloak lined with unshorn velvet. 57
Qua. By the salvation of humanity, he’s more pestilent than the plague of lice that fell upon Egypt; thou hast been knave if thou credit it; thou art an ass if thou follow it; and shalt be a perpetual idiot if thou pursue it: renounce the world, the flesh, the devil, and thy trust in men’s wives, for they will double with thee: and so I betake myself to the sucking of the juice capon, my ingle bottle-ale, and his gentleman usher, that squirers him, red herring. A fool I found thee and a fool I leave thee; bear record, Heaven, ’tis against the providence of my speech. Good-bye, good signior.
[Exit.
Enter Slip, Nous, Doit, and Bidet.
Sim. Ha, ha, ha! Good-bye, good signior! What a fool ’tis! Ha, ha, what an ass ’tis! Save you, young gentlemen, is she coming? Will she meet me? Shall’s encounter? Ha? 72
Bid. You were not lapt in your mother’s smock:[547] you ha’ not a good cheek, an enticing eye, a smooth skin, a well-shaped leg, a fair hand: you cannot bring a wench into a fool’s paradise for you.
Sim. Not I, by this garter. I am a fool, a very ninny, I! How call you her? How call you her?
Bid. Call her? You rise on your right side to-day, marry. Call her? her name is Mistress Perpetuana: she is not very fair, nor goes extraordinary gay. 81
Sim. She has a good skin?
Bid. A good skin? She is wealthy; her husband’s a fool: she’ll make you; she wears the breeches: she’ll make you——
Sim. I’ll keep two men, and they shall be tailors; they shall make suits continually, and those shall be cloth of silver. 88
Bid. You may go in beaten precious stones every day. Marry, I must acquaint you with some observances, which you must pursue most religiously. She has a fool; a natural fool waits on her, that is indeed her pander; to him, at the first, you must be bounteous; whatsoe’er he craves,—be it your hat, cloak, rapier, purse, or such trifle,—give’t, give’t; the night will pay all; and to draw all suspect from pursuing her love for base gain sake. 97
Sim. Give’t? by this light, I’ll give’t, were’t—Gain! I care not for her chain of pearl, only her love: gain! The first thing her bounty shall fetch is my blush-colour satin suit from pawn: gain!
Bid. When you hear one wind a cornet, she is coming down Saint Mark’s Street: prepare your speech, suck your lips, lighten your spirits, fresh your blood, sleek your cheeks, for now thou shalt be made for ever (a perpetual and eternal gull).
[Exit Bidet.
Sim. I shall so ravish her with my courtship; I have such variety of discourse, such copy[548] of phrase to begin, as this:—Sweet lady, Ulysses’ dog, after his master’s ten years’ travel—I shall so tickle her: or thus,—Pure beauty, there is a stone[549]—— 111
Slip. Two stones, man.
Sim. Call’d—’tis no matter what. I ha’ the eloquence; I am not to seek, I warrant you.
The cornet is winded. Enter Pippo, Bidet; Pippo attired like a merchant’s wife, and Bidet like a fool.
Sweet lady, Ulysses’ dog, there’s a stone called—— O Lord! what shall I say?
Slip. Is all your eloquence come to this?
Sim. The glorious radiant of your glimmering eyes, your glittering beauties blind my wit, and dazzle my——
Pip. I’ll put on my mask, and please you; pray you, wink, pray you. 121
Bid. O fine man! my mistress loves you best. I dreamt you ga’ me this sword and dagger. I love your hat and feather, O——
Sim. Do not cry, man; do not cry, man: thou shalt ha’ them. Ay, and they were——
Bid. O, that purse, with all the white pence in it! Fine man! I love you! Give you the fine red pence soon at night? He! I thank you: where’s the fool now? 130
Sim. He has all my money; I have to keep myself, and——
Slip. Poght!
Pip. Sir, the fool shall lead you to my house; the fool shall not. At night I expect you: till then, take this seal of my affection.
Qua. [within]. What, Simplicius!
Sim. I come, Quadratus. Gentlemen, as yet I can but thank you; but I must be trusted for my ordinary soon at night: or stay, I’ll— The fool has unfurnish’d me; but ’twill come again, good bye. 141
Qua. [within]. What, ho! Simplicius!
Sim. Good bye, good boys. I come, I come, good bye,[550] good boys.
[Exit.
Bid. The fool shall wait on thee. Now, do I merit to be yclept, Bosphoros Carmelydon Honorificacuminos Bidet? Who, who has any square dice?
Pip. Marry, sir, that have I.
Bid. Thou shalt lose thy share for it in our purchase.[551]
Pip. I pray you now, pray you now. 150
Bid. Sooner the whistle[552] of a mariner Shall sleek the rough curbs of the ocean back.— Now speak I like myself: thou shalt lose thy share.
Enter Quadratus, Laverdure, and Celia; Simplicius, Meletza, Lyzabetta, Lucia, and Lampatho.
Pip. Ha! take all, then. Ha!
Qua. Without cloak, or hat, or rapier? Fie!
Sim. God’s me! Look yonder. Who gave you these things?
Bid. Mistress Perpetuana’s fool.
Sim. Mistress Perpetuana’s fool! Ha, ha! there lies a jest. Signor, the fool promised me he would not leave me. 161
Bid. I know the fool well. He will stick to you: does not use to forsake any youth that is enamour’d on another man’s wife; he strives to keep company with a crimson satin suit continually; he loves to be all one with a critic; a good wit, self-conceited, a hawk-bearer, a dog-keeper, and great with the nobility; he doats upon a mere scholar, an honest flat fool; but, above all, he is all one with a fellow whose cloak hath a better inside than his outside, and his body richer lined than his brain. 171
Sim. Uds so! I am cozened.
Pip. Pray you, master, pardon me; I must lose my share.
Sim. Give me my purse again.
Bid. You gave it me, and I’ll keep’t.
Qua. Well done, my honest crack, thou shalt be my ingle for’t.
Lav. He shall keep all, maugre thy beardless chin, thy eyes. 180
Sim. I may go starve till midsummer quarter.
Qua. Fool! Get thee hence.
Pip. I’ll to school again, that I will: I left in ass in presenti, and I’ll begin in ass in presenti; and so good night, fair gentry.
[Exit Pippo.
Qua. The triple idiot’s coxcomb crown[553] thee, Bitter epigrams confound thee; Cuckold be whene’er thou bride thee; Through every comic scene be drawn; Never come thy clothes from pawn; 190 Never may thy shame be sheathed, Never kiss a wench sweet-breathed.
[Cornets sound.
Enter as many Pages with torches as you can; Randolfo, Andrea,[554] Jacomo bare-headed; the Duke with attendants.
Ran. Cease! the duke approacheth: ’tis almost night, For the duke’s up: now begins his day. Come, grace his entrance. Lights! lights! Now ’gins our play.
Duke. Still these same bawling pipes: sound softer strains! Slumber our sense: tut! these are vulgar strains. Cannot your trembling wires throw a chain Of powerful rapture ’bout our mazèd sense? Why is our chair thus cushion’d tapestry, 200 Why is our bed tirèd with wanton sports, Why are we clothed in glistering attires, If common bloods can hear, can feel, Can sit as soft, lie as lascivious, Strut[555] all as rich as the greatest potentate:— Soul! and you cannot feast my thristing[556] ears With aught but what the lip of common birth can taste, Take all away; your labour’s idly waste. What sport for night?
Lam. A comedy, entitled Temperance. 210
Duke. What sot elects that subject for the court? What should dame Temperance do here? Away! The itch on Temperance, your moral play!
Qua. Duke, prince, royal blood!—thou that hast the best means to be damn’d of any lord in Venice;—thou great man! let me kiss thy flesh. I am fat,[557] and therefore faithful; I will do that which few of thy subjects do,—love thee: but I will never do that which all thy subjects do,—flatter thee thy humour’s real, good. A comedy! 220
No, and thy sense would banquet in delights Appropriate to the blood of emperors, Peculiar to the state of majesty, That none can relish but dilated greatness, Vouchsafe to view the structure of a scene That stands on tragic solid passion. O that’s fit traffic to commerce with births, Strain’d from the mud of base unable brains! Give them a scene may force their struggling blood Rise up on tiptoe in attention, 230 And fill their intellect with pure elixed wit; O that’s for greatness apt, for princes fit!
Duke. Darest thou then undertake to suit our ears With such rich vestment?
Qua. Dare! Yes, my prince, I dare;—nay, more, I will. And I’ll present a subject worth thy soul;— The honour’d end of Cato Utican.
Duke. Who’ll personate him?
Qua. Marry, that will I, on sudden, without change.
Duke. Thou want’st a beard. 240
Qua. Tush! a beard ne’er made Cato, though many men’s Cato hang only on their chin. Suppose this floor the city Utica, The time the night that prolonged Cato’s death; Now being placed ’mong his philosophers, These first discourse the soul’s eternity.
Jaco. Cato grants that, I am sure, for he was valiant and honest, which an epicure ne’er was, and a coward never will be.
Qua. Then Cato holds a distinct notion 250 Of individual actions after death. This being argued, his resolve maintains A true magnanimous spirit should give up dirt To dirt, and with his own flesh dead his flesh, ’Fore chance should force it crouch unto his foe; To kill one’s self, some ay, some hold it no. O these are points would entice away one’s soul To break indenture of base prenticage,
Enter Francisco.
And run away from ’s body in swift thoughts, To melt in contemplation’s luscious sweets! 260 Now, O my voluptuous duke, I’ll feed thy sense Worth his creation: give me audience.
Fran. My liege, my royal liege, hear, hear my suit.
Qua. Now may thy breath ne’er smell sweet as long as thy lungs can pant, for breaking my speech, thou Muscovite! thou stinking perfumer! 266
Enter Albano.
Duke. Is not this Albano, our sometimes courtier?
Fran. No, troth, but Francisco, your always perfumer.
Alb. Lorenzo Celso, our brave Venice Duke, Albano Belletzo, thy merchant, thy soldier, thy courtier, thy slave, thy anything, thy What thou Wilt, kisseth thy noble blood. Do me right, or else I am canonized a cuckold! canonized a cuckold! I am abused!—I am abused!—my wife’s abused!—my clothes abused!—my shape,—my house,—my all,—abused! I am sworn out of myself,—beated out of myself,—baffled,—jeer’d at,—laugh’d at,—barred my own house,—debarr’d my own wife!—whilst others swill my wines,—gormandize my meat, meat,—kiss my wife!—O gods! O gods! O gods! O gods! O gods! 280
Lav. Who is’t? Who is’t?
Cel. Come, sweet, this is your waggery, i’faith; as if you knew him not.
Lav. Yes, I fear I do too well: would I could slide away invisible.
Duke. Assured this is he.
Jaco. My worthy liege, the jest comes only thus. Now to stop and cross it with mere like deceit: All being known, the French knight hath disguised A fiddler, like Albano too, to fright the perfumer:—this is all. 291
Duke. Art sure ’tis true?
Mel. ’Tis confess’d ’tis right.
Alb. Ay, ’tis right, ’tis true; right; I am a fiddler, a fiddler, a fiddler,—uds fut! a fiddler. I’ll not believe thee; thou art a woman: and ’tis known, veritas non quærit angulos, truth seeks not to lurk under varthingalls; veritas non quærit angulos; a fiddler?
Lav. Worthy sir, pardon; and permit me first to confess [to] yourself,—your deputation[558] dead, hath made my love live, to offend you. 301
Alb. Ay, mock on,—scoff on,—flout on,—do, do, do.
Lav. Troth, sir, in serious.
Alb. Ay, good, good; come hither, Celia. Burst, breast! rive, heart, asunder! Celia, Why startest thou back? Seest thou this, Celia? O me! How often, with lascivious touch, thy lip Hath kissed this mark? How oft this much-wrong’d breast Hath borne the gentle weight of thy soft cheek? 310
Cel. O me, my dearest lord,—my sweet, sweet love!
Alb. What, a fiddler,—a fiddler? now thy love? I am sure thou scorn’st it; nay, Celia, I could tell What, on the night before I went to sea, And took my leave, with hymeneal rites, What thou lisped Into my ear, a fiddler and perfumer now!
And.[559] And——
Ran. Dear brother.
Jaco. Most respected signior; Believe it, by the sacred end of love, 320 What much, much wrong hath forced your patience, Proceeded from most dear affièd love, Devoted to your house.
And.[559] Believe it, brother.
Jaco. Nay, yourself, when you shall hear the occurrences, will say ’tis happy, comical.
Ran. Assure thee, brother.
Alb. Shall I be brave? Shall I be myself now? Love, give me thy love; brothers, give me your breasts; French knight, reach me thy hand; perfumer, thy fist. Duke, I invite thee; love, I forgive thee; Frenchman, I hug thee. I’ll know all,—I’ll pardon all,—and I’ll laugh at all!
[Albano and his brothers talk apart.
Qua. And I’ll curse you all!—O ye ha’ interrupt a scene! 334
Duke. Quadratus, we will hear these points discuss’d, With apter and more calm affected hours.
Qua. Well, good, good.
Alb. Was’t even so? I’faith, why then, capricious mirth, Skip light moriscoes in our frolic blood,[560] Flagg’d veins, sweat,[561] plump with fresh-infusèd joys! Laughter, pucker our cheeks, make shoulders shog With chucking lightness! Love, once more thy lips! For ever clasp our hands, our hearts, our crests! 343 Thus front, thus eyes, thus cheek, thus all shall meet! Shall clip, shall hug, shall kiss, my dear, dear sweet! Duke, wilt thou see me revel? Come, love, dance Court, gallants, court; suck amorous dalliance!
Lam. Beauty, your heart!
Mel. First, sir, accept my hands: She leaps too rash that falls in sudden bands.
Lam. Shall I despair? Never will I love more! 350
Mel. No sea so boundless vast but hath a shore.
Qua. Why, marry me; Thou canst have but soft flesh, good blood, sound bones; And that which fills up all your bracks,—good stones.
Lyz. Stones, trees, and beasts, in love still firmer prove Than man; I’ll none; no hold-fasts in your loves.
Lav. Since not the mistress,—come on, faith, the maid!
Alb. Ten thousand duckets, too, to boot, are laid.
Lav. Why, then, wind cornets, lead on, jolly lad.
Alb. Excuse me, gallants, though my legs lead wrong, ’Tis my first footing; wind out nimble tongue. 361
Duke. ’Tis well, ’tis well:—how shall we spend this night?
Qua. Gulp Rhenish wine, my liege; let our paunch rent; Suck merry jellies; preview, but not prevent, No mortal can, the miseries of life.
Alb. I home invite you all. Come, sweet, sweet wife. My liege, vouchsafe thy presence. Drink, till the ground look blue, boy!
Qua. Live still in springing hopes, still in fresh new joys!— May your loves happy hit in fair-cheek’d wives, 370 Your flesh still plump with sapp’d restoratives. That’s all my honest frolic heart can wish. A fico for the mew and envious pish! Till night, I wish good food and pleasing day; But then sound rest. So ends our slight-writ play.
[Exeunt.
