_Mass._ Already turn'd apostate! but now all pure, Now damn'd your faith is, and [your] loves endure Like dew upon the grass; when pleasure's sun Shines on your virtues, all your virtue's done. I'll leave thy house and thee; go, get thee in, 160 Thou gaudy child of pride, and nurse of sin. _Isa._ Rail not on me, my lord; for if you do, My hot desire of vengeance shall strike wonder; Revenge in women falls like dreadful thunder! [_Exit._ _Ann._ Your lordship will command me no further service? _Mass._ I thank thee for thy watchful service past; Thy usher-like attendance on the stairs, Being true signs of thy humility. _Ann._ I hope I did discharge my place with care. 169 _Mass._ Ushers should have much wit, but little hair;[263] Thou hast of both sufficient: prithee leave me, If thou hast an honest lady, commend me to her, But she is none. [_Exit_ ANNA. Farewell, thou private strumpet, worse than common! Man were on earth an angel but for woman. That sevenfold branch of hell from them doth grow; Pride, lust, and murder, they raise from below, With all their fellow-sins. Women are made Of blood, without souls; when their beauties fade, And their lust's past, avarice or bawdry 180 Makes them still loved; then they buy venery, Bribing damnation, and hire brothel-slaves: Shame's their executors, infamy their graves. Your painting will wipe off, which art did hide, And show your ugly shape in spite of pride. Farewell, Isabella, poor in soul and fame, I leave thee rich in nothing but in shame. Then, soulless women, know, whose faiths are hollow, Your lust being quench'd a bloody act must follow. [_Exit._ [254] Ed. 1631 "speare-like." [255] Ed. 1631 "enters into thy." [256] Quy. "Joy's?"

SCENE I. _Venice.--The Senate-house._ _Enter the_ Duke AMAGO, _the_ Captain, _and the rest of the_ Watch, _with the_ Senators. _Duke._ Justice, that makes princes like the gods, Draws us unto the senate, That with unpartial balance we may poise The crimes and innocence of all offenders. Our presence can chase bribery from laws; He best can judge that hears himself the cause.
