By no means fair one, Enjoy your life of greatness; sure the spring Is past, the BOWERS OF FANCIES is quite withered And offered like a lottery to be drawn; I dare not venture for a blank, excuse me,— Exquisite jewels. Hark ye Troylo. Spare me. You then renounce all right in Castamela, Say Romanello. Gladly. Then I must not; Thus I embrace mine own, my wife; confirm it. Thus when I fail (my dearest) to deserve thee Comforts and life shall fail me. Like vow I, for my part. Livio, now my Brother, justly I have given satisfaction. Oh excuse Our secrecy, I have been— Much more worthy A better Brother, he a better Friend Than my dull brains could fashion. Am I cozened. You are not Romanello; we examined On what conditions your affections fixed, And found them merely Courtship; but my Nephew Loved with a faith resolved, and used his policy To draw the Lady into this society, More freely to discover his sincerity Even without Livio's knowledge, thus succeeded And prospered, he's my heir and she deserved him. Storm not at what is passed. A fate as happy May crown you with a full content. whatever Report hath talked of me abroad, and these Know they are all my nieces, are the daughters To my dead only Sister, this their Guardianess Since they first saw the World; indeed my Mistresses They are, I have none other; how brought up Their qualities may speak; now Romanello, And Gentlemen, for such I know ye all, Portions they shall not want both sit and worthy; Nor will I look on fortune, if you like Court them and win them, here is free access, In mine own Court henceforth; only for thee I wish Clarella were allotted. Most noble Lord, I am struck silent. Brother, here's noble choice. Frenzy, how didst thou seize me! We knew you Sir, in Prugniolo's posture. Were merry at the sight. And gave you welcome. Indeed forsooth, and so we did an't like ye. Enough, enough; now to shut up the night, Some menial servants of mine own are ready For to present a merriment; they intend Acording to th'occasion of the meeting, In several shapes to show how love o'ersways All men of several conditions; Soldier, Gentry, fool, scholar, Merchant man, and Clown: A harmless recreation; take your places.— Your duties are performed henceforth, Spadone, Cast off thy borrowed title: Nephew Troylo, His Mother gave thee suck; esteem him honestly. Lights for the Lodgings, 'tis high time for rest; Great men may be mistook when they mean best. A while suspected (Gentlemen) I look For no new Law, being quitted by the Book. Our harmless pleasures, free in every sort Actions of scandal; may they free report. Distrust is base, presumption urgeth wrongs; But noble thoughts must prompt as noble tongues. Fancy and judgement are a play's full matter: If we have erred in one, right you the latter.
