SCENA SEPTIMA.

Fabritio, The Duke, Alphonso, Carlos, Climeno, Isabella, Valorio, Guards.
Fabritio comming forth from behind the false wall.
Fabritio.
Behould me living then, most generous Prince,
Keep your word and your oath, and make me happie.

Duke.
Is this a Fantasme? Heaven!

Alphonso.
Shake of your feare.
It is Fabritio living, and his death
Is but a feigned thing.

Fabritio.
Sir, at your feete
I humbly doe expect the blest effect
Of what you promised.

Duke.
I'le keepe my word,
Climene's yours.

Alphonso.
Sir, favour my poore familie
In everie point, givs Carlos too in marriage
Vnto my daughter, and approve with me
Their innocent desires,

Carlos.
I humble crave
That favour from your Highnesse

Duke.
I consent to't;
Carlos, enioy your wish, although I am
Deceived by your artifice; but losing
My Mistresse, I lose my injustice too:
In not betraying me, you did betray
My glorie, who commands ill, should be ill
Obey'd', unjust designes may justly be
Destroy'd: Come follow me, and whilst your joyes
Are making readie, rell me by what Art
The Amourous Fantasme plaid his subtle part.
