Actus Quintus.
Scaena Prima.
Enter Rossella, Clarinda, Crocale, Juletta, Hippolita.
Ros.
I Am deaf to all your intreaties: she that moves me
For pity or compassion to these Pirats,
Digs up her Fathers, or her Brothers Tomb,
And spurns about their ashes.
Couldst thou remember what a Father thou hadst once,
'Twould steel thy heart against all foolish pity.
By his memory'and the remembrance of his dear embraces,
I am taught, that in a Noble cause revenge is Noble;
And they shall fall the sacrifices to appease
His wandring Ghost, and my incensed fury.
Cla.
The new come prisoner too!
Ros.
He too yet that we may learn
Whether they are the same, or near ally'd
To those that forc'd me to this cruel course,
Better their poor allowance, and permit 'em
To meet together and confer,
Within the distance of your ear; perhaps
They may discover something that may kill
Despair in me, and be a means to save 'em
From certain ruine.
Ceo.
That shall be my charge.
Ros.
Yet to prevent
All hope of rescue: for this new-come Captain
Hath both a Ship and Men not far from us,
Though ignorant to find the only Port,
That can yield entrance to our happy Island,
Guard the place strongly, and e'r the next Sun
Ends his diurnal progress, I will be
Happy in my revenge, or set 'em free. Exteunt.
Enter Crocale, Juletta, Hippolita. A Table furnish'd.
Cro.
So serve it plentifully,
And lose not time to enquire the cause;
There is a main design that hangs upon this bounty.
See the Table furnisht with Wine too,
That discovers secrets which tortures cannot open:
Open the doors too of the several prisons,
And give all free entrance into this room.
Undiscover'd I can here mark all.
Enter Tib. Mast.
Here's Captain careless, and the tough Ship-master,
The slaves are nos'd like Vultures
