Vindici
- [holding the skull of his long-dead bride]
- Vindici: Thou sallow remnant of my poisoned love. My study's ornament, thou shell of death, once the bright face of my betrothed lady. When life and beauty naturally filled out these ragged imperfections, then 'twas a face so far beyond the shine of any woman's bought complexion.
- Ambitioso: My lord, you're gracefully established with the loves of all your subjects, and for natural death, I hope it be threescore year a-coming.
- Lussurioso: True. But no more than threescore year?
- Supervacuo: Fourscore I hope, my lord.
- Nessio: And fivescore, I.
- Vindici: I hope, my lord, that you should never die.
- Lussurioso: Give me thy hand; these others I rebuke. He that hopes so is fittest for a duke.
- Vindici: Pistols! Treason! Guards! Help! My lord, the Duke, is murdered!
- Lussurioso: [puzzled] No, I'm not.
- [Vindici stabs him]
