At the end of the first printing of this play, the author included an epigram of Martial's, "Haec fuerint nobis praemis si placui," and thanked the actor Richard Perkins for his "well-approved industry." It features a ghost urging a brother to avenge a fallen woman, as well as a dirge sung by a grieving mother, "Call for the robin redbreast, and the wren."  The action is set in motion when the central character recounts a dream about a "goodly yew tree" whose branch falls on and kills two people trying to uproot it. This leads to a plot whose outcome is displayed by a Conjuror in the shows that make up Act II, scene ii: Camillo's death is staged as a vaulting accident, while the Duchess, Isabella, kisses a poisoned portrait of her husband.  Flamineo carries out these murders in the service of the Duke of Bracciano and his adulterous lover, Vittoria. For 10 points, identify this revenge tragedy by John Webster.
