SCENA TERTIA.
Alphonso, Clarina, Isabella.Alphonso.
Oh Daughter, daughter!
Isabella,
He appeareth furious.
—aside.
I read my sad misfortune in his eyes.
Alphonso.
Can I live after such high injuries?
Isabella.
What is the Matter, Sir?
Alphonso.
How! demandest thou?
Dost thou not plainelie see in the excesse
Of my quick griefes, that I am burthered with
The greatest of misfortunes?
Isabella.
What misfortune.
Oh! Father?
Alphonso.
Isabella, Isabella,
I must no more be called by that name.
Isabella.
I feign'd in vaine, tis best to confesse all.
Alphonso.
O fatall chang, Heaven, who could 'er have thought it?
Isabella.
Sir, I beseech you, heare me
Alphonso.
What would'st thou
33
What that love costeth me which taketh pleasure
In blood and teares, and hideth deadlie poisons,
When it shewes flowers.
Isabella.
I confesse—
Alphonso.
Oh how often.
Our expectations are deceiv'd, in'wishing
Children, we wish troubles, and punishments.
Isab.
If his death
Alph.
Yes, his death is certaine,
Isabella.
Suffer
That by my teares—
Alphonso.
Thou sheddest them in vaine.
Isabella.
Father, revenge is easie.
Alphonso.
But alas?
What should I enterprise against the Duke?
Isabella.
The Duke? What say you?
Alphonso.
Art thou ignorant,
That my sonne by his order receiv'd death?
Isabella.
I know it not; oh miserable destinie?
Alphonso.
Valerio from him brought me the sad newes,
And would enforce me to agree with him,
That he in killing him did not unjustly:
34
What crueltie is this? wast not ynough,
Through an unjust and barbarous constraint,
To forbid you a just revenge, but even
To complaine of the injurie?
Alphonso.
True, Daughter;
To punish yet my sonne after his death,
They will I understand it, and not murmur:
It seemes they have a minde, that I should goe
To kisse the hand that murthets me, as being
Stained, and smoaking yet writh my sonnes blood.
Isabella.
But Sir, consider in this sad conjuncture,
That my deare Brothers body doth expect
Interment.
Alphonso.
Yes, I have tooke care for that,
By order from me it is to be brought
To this apartement.
