_Fer._ 'Tis not that we esteem rebellious Traytors Worthy an answer to their proudest Summons That we vouchsafe our presence; or to exchange One syllable with 'em: but to let such know, Though circled round with treason, all points bent As to their Center at my heart, 'tis free, Free from fear, villains, and in this weak Tower _Ferrand_ commands as absolute, as when He trod upon your necks, and as much s[c]orns you. And when the Sun of Majesty shall break through The clouds of your rebellion, every beam Instead of comfortable heat shall send Consuming plagues among you; and you call That government which you term'd tyrannous Hereafter, gentle. _Sess._ Flatter not thy self With these deluding hopes, thou cruel beast, Thou art i'th' toyle, and the glad Huntsman prouder, By whom thou art taken, of his prey, than if (Like thee) he should command, and spoil his Forrest. _Fer._ What art thou? _Sess._ To thy horror Duke of _Sesse_. _Fer._ The Divel. _Sess._ Reserv'd for thy damnation. _Fer._ Why shakes my love? _Mart._ O I am lost for ever; Mountains divide me from him; some kind hand Prevent our fearful meeting: Or lead me To the steep rock, whose rugged brows are bent Upon the swelling main; there let me hide me: And as our bodies then shall be divided, May our souls never meet. _Fer._ Whence grows this, Sweetest? _Mar._ There are a thousand furies in his looks; And in his deadly silence more loud horror, Than when in hell the tortur'd and tormentors Contend whose shreeks are greater. Wretched me! It is my father. _Sess._ Yes, and I will own her, Sir, Till my revenge. It is my daughter, _Ferrand_; My daughter thou hast whor'd. _Fer._ I triumph in it: To know she's thine, affords me more true pleasure, Than the act gave me, when even at the height, I crack'd her Virgin zone. Her shame dwell on thee, And all thy family; may they never know A female issue, but a whore; _Ascanio_. _Ronvere_, look cheerfull; be thou a man too, And learn of me to dye. That we might fall, And in our ruines swallow up this Kingdom, Nay the whole world, and make a second _Chaos_. And if from thence a new beginning rise, Be it recorded this did end with us; And from our dust hath embryon. _Ron._ I liv'd with you, And will dye with you; your example makes me Equally bold. _Asc._ And I resolv'd to bear What ere my fate appoints me. _Sess._ They are ours, Now to the spoyl. _Boats._ Pitty the Lady; to all else be deaf. [_Exeunt._ _Within_, Kill, kill, kill. [_Alarum Flo. Trumpets. Retreat._ _Enter_ Sesse _with_ Ferrands _head, the Citizens, Master,_ _Boteswaine, Gunner, Souldiers bringing in_ Ascanio, _and_ Martia.
