The Fatal Jealousie (1673)

EPILOGUE [Whistling behind the Stage. Enter Nurse. Nurse. Ay, that’s his whistle, and I must obey’t. Why Pedro , Pedro ! What, are you dead asleep? Pedro , I say. Pedro within. Who calls? Nurse. Pedro , rise quickly, my Lady Cælia wants you. Ped. What can she want me for at such a time? Nurse. I know not, but Flora came, and said you must come quickly, I think, to Ride to my Lord. Ped. I come, but I’le have a care of your tricks, Nurse. Enter Pedro in a Night-Gown, with his sword in’s hand. Nurse. What tricks? What do you do with your Sword? Ped. Why, Nurse, you may have malice, and malice may seek mischief, which because you are no Witch, and cannot come through a Key-hole to compass, for ought I know, you call me out to do it—ha! What whistle’s that? [Whistle. Nurse. What whistle! Are you mad! Go to my Lady. Ped. Still I suspect you. [Exeunt. Enter Nurse, with Antonio and Jasper . Anto. Are they together, Nurse? Nurse. Yes, my Lord, the more’s my sorrow! Anto. Nay then, I see the Devils did speak truth; Francisco , their kind Couzen, Whor’d them both, By Heav’ns they took their turns, I see it plain! O that I could invent some horrid Death, And had but time to execute it on them; But since I cannot, plain stabbing will do well, The less they’ve here, the more they’l find in Hell. Nurse. I hope you will not kill your Lady, Sir! Anto. Not kill her! But I must. Nurse. What have I done? Oh, oh. [Cryes out oh, oh. Anto. Hold, stop your mouth, I’le stop it for you else; They’l hear her, and escape! Come, Jasper , are you ready? Jasp. Yes, my Lord, I follow. [Exeunt. Nurse. What have I done, one Murder on another? I see ’twas he that kill’d Eugenia now, By’s naming Don Francisco ; oh, that Jasper — Oh, the Ghost again—what shall I do? [Exit. Cælia in Bed, and Flora all Bloody. Cæl. I’m sorry that I sent thee, since she’s mad, But would ’twas day, that I might get her lookt to. Flor. I’m sure she has scratch’t my face sufficiently. Cæl. ’Tis well it was no worse. [ Pedro knocks. Flor. Alas! she’l come again! Ped. Flora , Flora . [He knocks. Flor. Who’s that, Pedro ! What’s the matter with you? Ped. Nurse call’d, and said my Lady would speak with me. Cæl. Bid him come in. Flor. My Lady bids you enter. [Enter Pedro . Cæl. Pedro , the Nurse is mad, I did not call you, You see how she has scratcht poor Flora ’s Face, She came just now shreeking and staring hither; If you could lock her up into some Room, A noise, Exiturus, he fights, and Enters with Antonio , whom when he sees, he lets fall his point, and is kill’d. Jasper runs Flora through. It would do well. Ped. I hear her coming up. Thieves, Madam, Thieves! Oh Heav’ns, it is my Lord! Anto. Damn’d Letcher, so it is! What, does your Courage fail you— There, take that— [Runs him through. And boast in Hell that Don Antonio ’s Sword Did thee the Honour to send thee thither. Flor. O Heav’ns! My fears were true, the Rogue has kill’d me. [Falls & dyes. Anto. Now Monster of thy Sex, see this, and tell me What are the effects you do expect from it? Cæl. Death, that’s less terrible then is your Anger, Which I perceive by it’s effects already, Upon that Innocent Man cannot stay there. Anto. Are your concerns for him, when they should be Employ’d to Heav’n for mercy to your Soul? Nay, then Hell take it’s Quarry; this for Don Lewis , This for Don Francisco ; and take this last For thy insatiate Lust with that damn’d Hind. Cæl. This killing me, my Lord, is very cruel; Since I ne’re sinn’d in thought against your Honour. This, as I do expect Eternal Rest, Is such a Truth, that I can dye in it. Anto. O Hell and Furies! This Womans impudence exceeds you all. See there a Dog just wreeking from thy Bed, Hot with the Labour you have put him to: And yet in thought you did not wrong my Honour. Cæl. From my Bed, my Lord! You are abus’d; That fellow was not here full half a minute, E’re your self enter’d! Oh, I can no more— Heav’n and the World grant Pardon for my Blood. For truth it self bears witness; I dare say That more I sorrow for your guilt then Death. Anto. If this be true, tell me as thou art dying, What made him here at such a time o’ Night? Cæl. I cannot tell more, then that the Nurse did send him; And she’s run mad with guilt, or shame, or both! Oh, I can say no more—the Room turns Round; My Lord, farewell—Heav’n pardon you all Blood, As I forgive you mine—oh, oh— [Dyes. Anto. Her Death both staggers, and amazes me! Are these Dead too? Ped. Not yet, my Lord, I am not. Your Sword hath left me some small time for Prayers, And it had need; for I believe few Souls Can be assur’d to find their way to heav’n Without more warning to begin their Journey. But yet I do not find much cause for doubt. Anto. Nay, if thou’st hopes, by that I do conjure thee Tell me, what brought thee hither? Ped. The Nurses madness; She call’d me from my Bed, and told me, Flora Was sent to bid me come unto my Lady, Which though I scarce believ’d, yet I did do’t. Anto. Why did you say it was her madness did it? Ped. My Lady said she was so, for she came Not long before shreeking into this Chamber, So as you enter’d I was going down To lock her up till morning in some Room: This, as I hope for heav’n, my Lord, is true. Anto. Then ’tis as true, that I must never hope for it, For I have kill’d a Wife of such obedience— But hold, I’le pump the Nurse—who set her on To tell me this. [Enter Nurse frighted. Nurse. O! whether will you drive me! Be gone, be gone! Anto. Here, here she comes, I’le make her tell me all. Jasper Runs Nurse through but is staid by Antonio . Jasp. But I’le prevent the story if I can.— Anto. What, does the Villain mean to kill her yet? Jasp. Does she not deserve it? To invent such lyes, And do such mischiefs with them. Nurse. O thou damn’d Rogue! ’Twas thou that made me do’t. Jasp. You lying Witch, be damn’d— [Offers at her again. Anto. Forbear, you Rogue, I’le do as much for you else. Speak, why you did it? Nurse. My Lord, he threaten’d me, and made me do’t; And taught me to call Pedro when you knockt. Jasper runs Anto. behind. Ped. Look to your self, my Lord, he’l kill you else. Jasp. This way is only left—hell take your Tongue. Anto. Ah, thou hast kill’d me; yet I have strength enough They fight. A noise without. Jasper is mortally wounded. To send thy Soul to hell. Jasp. ’Tis done, I am catch’d at last in my own Trap. Oh, I deserve my Death for want of fore-sight, to let him Live a spye upon my Actions. Runs Pedro through as he lyes, and Nurse. I should have serv’d you thus, and thus, and thus—and you too thus. Ped. Oh, O, O! [ Pedro and Nurse Dye. Anto. Infernal Monster! how his malice lasts. Within. This way’s the noise. Enter Captain, Watch, and Servant. Capt. What horrid sight is this? We come too late. Anto. Too late indeed, except you’d come to save The best of Wives that there lyes murder’d By my accursed hand. Capt. What, Cælia dead too! What made you do’t, my Lord? Jasp. Alas! he cannot tell; the Jealous fool Was but an Instrument in my Revenge; ’Tis only I can tell you why she dy’d. But yet I would not give that satisfaction, Did I not fear my Name would be forgotten, Except this Tale of my Revenge was known; In which I shall live famous.— Serv. O thou Dogg! Dost glory in the mischiefs thou hast done? Jasp. I, and have reason; name the man that ever Did in one Day contrive so many Murders, And make ’em all Successful. Capt. But what should move thee to this Villainy? Jasp. For that you will not wonder. I am Jasper De Monsalvo , Heir to that Estate This Lord doth now possess. Anto. Ah Heav'ns! some of that desperate Banditry Did once attempt my life. Jasp. Yes truly— Anto. Poor Cælia , ’tis no wonder thy mind did boad great mischiefs from this Fellow, being Son of one did still contrive to kill me, for what the King after just forfeiture for mighty services had given my Father. Jasp. O Revenge! Thy sweetness takes away the taste of Death. But you’l lose my story; which in short is this: That Lady lov’d me not, and therefore I Made her Lord Jealous, took him to a Witch, And there I fool’d him finely: Till the Jade, Who was my Aunt indeed, at your approach Would have discover’d all; which I prevented, And stopt her Mouth with this: Then I contriv’d To kill Eugenia , knowing she would meet Francisco in the Garden; that I did Because she call’d me Villain, and refus’d To let me Whore her too, as did her Couzen; And more, I knew the simple Lord I serv’d When he had Murder’d her, as I should make him, Would thank my Care, and well reward it too: Nay, I’d have him do’t for his own safety, That still the Murder might be thought Francisco ’s; You know the rest i’th’ Garden. I taught besides That damn’d Old Hagg, whose fear has made me thus, To put this trick on Pedro : I bid her call him When she should hear us whistle, then in haste, And all undrest send him to Cælia ’s Chamber, Whilst we, let in, might meet him coming thence, Thinking the Cuckold’s Rage would murder all, And never hear ’em speak; but there I fail’d, Their dying words betray’d me, that’s the worst, Or I had liv’d to glory in their Deaths; But this my Comfort is, he’l not survive me, I have done his bus’ness too before I dye. Serv. Was er’e so Impudent a Villain seen? Capt. I’le try to stop his wounds, that so I may keep him for Execution. Jasp. Stand off, by Hell, He that comes near me finds his Death with this! Think you I’m grown so tame to dye by Law; No, no, I’le not endure a formal Tryal, To be upbraided with those things I think Deserve a Trophy rather then Contempt, Which since I know will follow, here’s my Bail, This will deliver any Man from Jayl. Let Cowards dye by hanging; such as I As we live bravely, thus dare bravely dye. [Stabs himself. Capt. He has done well; no Excutioner Could have been found so bad as his own hand, And Hell will give him what he wants on Earth: And yet, my Lord, it troubles me for you, Since my Place binds me to secure your Person, To answer Law for all your Rage has done. Anto. Shame almost stops my mouth; yet, Captain, know My wound won’t give me time for that misfortune; Stay but a little, let me fix my Eyes On what lies here, for that alone would give me A sudden Death, had I no other hurt. I dare not hope for Heav’n, having done So black a Murder on such Innocence, And yet I do believe her Charity As it did dying, still doth beg that Pardon Might from above be granted to my soul, Which if I miss, as I have cause to fear, Then sure I shall be turn’d into a Devil For ever to Torment his Cursed soul That led me to these mischiefs. ’Twould be some ease, if Heaven but granted that, But I begin to faint! Oh, Blessed Soul Dart forth one Beam of Light, to guide the way, Or I shall always wander in the dark. Night seizes me already: yet from hence In spight of death my soul shall take her flight, Go where I will, I thus set out a right. [Dyes. Serv. He’s dead— Capt. By dying so, at least he’s thus far happy, That he Escapes the Punishments of Tryal, And the Exemplar death must have attended Which to a man so Jealous of his Fame As he was, would have been a Hell on Earth. Your Duty to your Lord will keep you safe, Yet you must to the Vice-Roy go with me To be a Witness there of what hath happn’d, The story else will seem Incredible. Serv. I am ready, Sir, for all you shall Command. Capt. Oh Jealousie, thou sickness of great souls, To what a Rage didst thou transport this Lord? For had his Wife been false it was not good By Murd’ring her to drown himself in Blood; For Lust may be Excus’d since flesh is frail, But Murder on the Soul does guilt Entail. The Curtain Falls. EPILOGUE By Mr. Harris . A Tragedy, and not Heroick Verse, The Comick part fit only for a Farse ; No Atheism, nor any man we know Abus’d, no repartee, nor splendid show; But very little Bawdy, and less wit, The Devil’s in’t, crys one, is this Play hit. Faith—may be not, and may be too it will, For Chance sometimes exceeds all rules of skill. As he who Rageing did his Pencil throw, And Painted that by chance, he could not draw For we have seen, and lately too, a Play Cry’d down by those that cannot keep away And when they come spight of themselves they stay. And to our sorrow we have others known, That for their wit have Wit it self out-done, And yet you wits, that praise ’em seldom come. So the Goodman, oft-times for cause unknown, Leaves well-drest Beauteous Wife for Homely Joan. And you that Misses keep too, I’m afraid Do sometimes make e’m Jealous of the Maid; So if this Play not drest by rules of Art Should with some Trick of Nature catch the heart; We’d give you leave to rail, and never fear, Because we’re sure you’d come to do it here. Gallants you see what e’re you say or do, Plays will be writ, and we shall Act ’em too. Some will for pleasure, some for profit write, Some for Applause, and some will do’t in spight, Such bit by Critticks, strait run mad and bite. This does our bu’sness; but we’d have you know, We wish we’d none but true brisk wit to show, We silence wish that Men might hear a Play, And wish that Vizard Mask would keep away: But we as well might wish we were those Kings We sometimes Act, as hope to see these things. Then since to rail o’th’ Stage and in the Pit, Must in this sickly Age be counted Wit; And that th’ Infection cannot be subdu’d, We Actors for our own sakes do conclude, The Itch to write and rail will ne’re be cur’d, And therefore faith let ’em be both Endur’d.

INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg work, and (c) any Defect you cause. Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg Project Gutenberg is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org. Section 3.

Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate . While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate. Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg electronic works Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org . This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
