What pow'r soever the Legat has the Judgement has been confirm'd by us Doge Nevertheless let us search the Records for his satisfaction Int. Now shall I be rewarded for this my inquisitive care of the State Doge Clerk make a search 2. Sen. I we cannot deny that One of the Clerks opens the Trunk and takes out Records 1 Clerk Bless me the Parchments move 2 Clerk If ever Book breath'd in this World here 's one Another looking in 1 Sen.

Sen. 'T is strange All the Senators seem afraid and express nothing of contempt but reverence 2. Sen. What may this mean 4 Sen. A general Consternation Doge Strange fright Card. What e're thou art Ghost Devil Angel What e're thy dreadful message is to Earth I' th' name of Heaven arise Intrigo puts up his Head a little and his white Peruke appears Sata See see his glorious Head So rises by degrees great Ordelafo Like the all-piercing Phoebus from his Eastern Couch To give us light in these most dark affairs See how his hoary Hairs grown white in the service of This Common-wealth are perfect yet upon His watchful Temples His Face as black as Mummy Intrigo's Face appears a little Yet firm and solid and seems pensive He 's pond'ring something for the publick good Intrigo starts upright in the Trunk Int. I that I am grave Senators A general laughter And let me tell you under the Rose 't has been my sole employment for some years though I have little thanks for 't and though I am not Ordelaso Yet take my cautions as not less authentick Which are to keep your Laws in violate Doge Still in the right Intrigo Wise vertuous Intrigo Those ills are fatal where no pain 's endur'd The wiser sort of fools are never cur'd Grim. True he has such a politic Lethargy upon him he cannot feel the Pricks and Lancings of ill fortune He has been list'ning here to increase his prudence Notwithstanding his late affronts at Seignior Cornanti's Corn. Was there eversuch a fool as this fellow We natural fools are nothing to him Triv. Why do you thus eclipse so quaint a Beauty To Intrigo That radiant face Exit Corn. Sir I perceive you 're a great Virtuoso Will you teach me the Receit to get Blackamoor Children That a man may know 'em to be his own All hail great Ordelafo To Hircanio If Earth be silent see just Heav'n will speak To Satana Enter Trivultio leading in Circumstantio Triv. Look here 's your Master Circ 'Sfoot I think it be Makes three legs With due submission to your horrible prudence And striking sail to your infernal gravity I am almost out of my little wits To see your worship again 1 Sen. So so here 's the lesson That deceiv'd the Senate Cryer Silence in the Court Doge How came this fellow here Clerk An 't please your Highness I can't imagine unless he clapt the Keys in Clay or brib'd the Lock-smith Doge Was there ever such a curious Coxcomb Clerk of the Presidents how do you find the case 2 Clerk The Ordinary in this case is Judge From whom lies no appeal but to the Pope The Decimo tertio of Gradonico And the Octavo of Andrea Grittio Doge Master Procurator you see your remedy Card. Which will be worse than the disease His Holiness Will trust the Senate and my self in weightier matters Hir. Well I submit However this marriage will take off Trivultio's edge from my Mistress Bellinganna And the old fool Cornanti may do something for him Corn. Oh Sir is your stomach come down Did not I tell you I would make you do 't Well Sir I 'll remember Trivultio in my Will But I don't intend to die these forty years yet Hir. Lawyer this search was not worth a Fee Sat. I 'll take heed of being Meal-mouth'd hereafter 4 Sen. Clapping his hand on his brest gravely In good sadness this was but a foolish trick For such a wise man as Signior Intrigo 1 Sen. Why there 's it every man knows him not These invisible fools are the destruction Of private Families as well as States Nor are they easily to be prevented By wiser men because their follies are Always in disguise 2 Sen. Right This sort of fools walk always with dark Lanthorns and they ought more to be fin'd for wearing Vizors over their follies than others over their faces 3 Sen. I think indeed they ought to be as punishables By Law as men that cover their Wells and Coal-pits With rotten Wood and Bryars not solid Boards That will not keep men from falling in but Decoy 'em to their ruine by security Doge Gentlemen 't is time to adjourn There only rests What punishment upon this grave offender Grim. Troth Gentlemen my opinion is That all extraordinary fools ought to have Pensions instead of Punishments especially those that bring up a new Mode of Folly There is Honor due to Eminence in all things and rewards for new inventions 2 Sen. True if all men were wise there would be none to make sport with Fools serve for honest men to laugh at as well as Knaves to prey upon 3 Sen. If it were not for the amorous Foot in Tragedies and the merry Fool in Comedies what would become of the Players 1 Sen. I more than that if there were no Fools there would be no Wits Every new Fool begets a new Play either as the Subject or the Composer Doge No question but they are as necessary in a Common-wealth as wiser men for variety Nothing so well Mankind's diversion Fits As difference of Sexes and of Wits Exeunt omnes EPILOGUE As it was spoke by Mr. Haines AS Charms are Nonsence Nonsence seems a Charm Which hearers of all Judgment does disarm For Songs and Scenes a double Audience bring And Doggrel takes which Smiths in Sattin sing Now to Machines and a dull Mask you run We find that Wit 's the Monster you would shun And by my troth 't is most discreetly done For since with Vice and Folly Wit is fed Through Mercy 't is most of you are not dead Players turn Puppets now at your desire In their Mouth 's Nonsence in their Tails a Wire They fly through Clouds of Clouts and showers of Fire A kind of loosing Loadum is their Game Where the worst Writer has the greatest Fame To get vile Plays like theirs shall be our care But of such awkard Actors we despair False taught at first Like Bowls ill byass'd still the more they run They 're further off then when they first begun In Comedy their unweigh'd Action mark There 's one is such a dear familiar spark He yawns as if he were but half awake And fribling for free speaking does mistake False accent and neglectful Action too They have both so nigh good yet neither true That both together like an Ape 's mock face By near resembling Man do Man disgrace Through pac'd ill Actors may perhaps be cur'd Half Players like half Wits can't be endur'd Yet these are they who durst expose the Age Of the great Wonder of our English Stage Whom Nature seem'd to form for your delight And bid him speak as she bid Shakespeare write Those Blades indeed are Cripples in their Art Mimmick his Foot but not his speaking part Let them the Traytor or Volpone try Could they Rage like Cethegus or like Cassius die They ne'er had sent to Paris for such Fancies As Monster 's heads and Merry Andrew's Dances Wither'd perhaps not perish'd we appear But they were blighted and ne'er came to bear Th' old Poets dress'd your Mistress Wit before These draw you on with an old Painted Whore And sell like Bawds patch'd Plays for Maids twice o'er Yet they may scorn our House and Actors too Since they have swell'd so high to hector you They cry Pox o' these Covent Garden Men Dam 'em not one of them but keeps out Ten.

Very well How shall I hug my self to hear the condemnation of these imprudent Revellers and besides dive into the fresh Intrigues and Cabinet Councils that come piping hot from Rome How freely will this Cardinal empty himself into this bosom of mine and know not who has drain'd him This Art do we Politicians call pumping by Proxy or the Magical Screw The Scene shuts upon ' em Enter Trivultio So so I am got off clear Now for another device to help my friends The Cardinal Legate is newly come to Town and scarce known to any man in Venice Great Bodies move slowly and he does not think the Senate is in such great haste I will have a trick to prevent this Cardinal The greatest difficulty will be to get Hircanio's Daughter But Cornanti is bound to make the Match for me for the kindness I did in curing him of Jealousie And shall I then attempt his wife again Ingrateful God of Love Pox on 't in matter of Women the deceit is Trivial Civiliz'd Mankind that live in Towns lye with one anothers Wives as Gentlemen cheat in Horses by a Tacit compact and rule among themselves Let Cornanti pursue his inclinations I 'll follow mine Man's Gratitude may sometimes rise from Pride Friendship to others from the first writ Law Of pleasing of himself why may not I endure The burden of a wilful obligation And not be tossing it still back again To one who throws it upon me to ease himself For why should Mankind live by Rule and Measure Since all his Virtue rises from his Pleasure ACT V.
