'tis well, now if our plot prove right, Thou shalt be master of much wealth tonight, Dying in estate all comes to my share, Caraffa loves a salad passing well, And I have fitted one to serve his turn, Their gold will make thy soldiers fight in blood, And wing thy victories with good success. Let us no longer entertain the time, By this the Cardinals expect our presence. On with auspicious steps triumphant Caesar. And entertain them in brave jollity. Have special care you that have these in charge. That these two sealed bottles be not stirred, Until his Holiness call for that wine Fear not I will attend it as my life. Martial yourselves here sworn-men and their Churchmen. Here sit we swordmen to defend the Church. My Lords give answer in sincerity, Hath not my Caesar fought well for the Church? That hath so soon subjected in her right. Imola, Furly, Camerino, Capua, Urbine, Faenza, Sinegaglia. Brave Caesar I must boast of it in presence, That I Christ's vicar of his Church on earth, Have such a son which issued from my loins, That being vicar of the church's wars. Hath in revolution of one year, Done more than all the generals have done, In honour of our Church for forty years, Your Holiness with all your Cardinals, Your barons and indeed all Christendom Are bound to give God thanks for such a Prince. And him great honour for his fortitude. Your excellence did in a blessed hour. Surrender up your Holy robes and hat, Betaking you to burganet and arms, By which you might enlarge our liberties. i'faith my Lord and see we have all of us good cause to rejoice, would I had been with your excellence at Capua, I would had one bout with them as old as I am. You might my Lord have had your choice of Ladies, Bfull pisners to be ent to Rom. I marry my Lord some what might have been said to this gear in diebus illis, but transeant cum ceteris erroribus, would to GOD I wear as young as when I was a Scholar in Padua, faith then I could have swinged a sword and a buckler, and I did that then will being but a spring all of 24. years which be talked of in Padua these 40. years I warrant it faith my Lord were I so lusty now I would go with you to the waires this next spring that's flat, will you eat any salad my Lord, faith here are excellent herbs if you love them. They be my Lord too cold for my stomach, wilt please you my Lord to drink a cup of old Greek wine with it, bring me some wine here. Bring me some wine here I will drink a joy to Caesar and this Noble company. Some wine for his Holiness own mouth, Bernardo.
