Frederigo Nano, however, who, by Barbarigo's desire, had assumed the command, succeeded in rallying his men, and not only beat off Sirocco, but made a prize of one of his best galleys and its commander, the corsair Kara Ali. The combat between the Turks and the Venetians seemed inspired by the intensest personal hatred; the Turks thirsting for fresh conquests, the Venetians for vengeance.
The cry of vengeance refers to the similar utterances of the Ghost, of Hamlet, and of Laertes, who all seek revenge. Mosca, with a view of preparing for his master a pleasure more suitable to his taste than that which a play like 'Hamlet, we suppose, could afford him, brings in the three gamesters: Nano, a dwarf; Castrone, a eunuch; and Androgyne, a hermaphrodite.
The missionaries have had great trouble in demolishing their tombs and idols; but the Indians, inland, still continue the custom of pasing tabi sa nano, or asking permission of their dead ancestors, when they enter any wood, mountain, or corn field, for hunting or sowing; and if they omit this ceremony imagine their nonos will punish them with bad fortune.
To the question of Nano, as to whether he likes remaining a hermaphrodite in order to 'vary the delight of each sex, Androgyno replies: Alas, those pleasures be stale and forsaken; No 't is your fool wherewith I am so taken, The only one creature that I can called blessed; For all other forms I have proved most distressed. Nano. Spoke true, as thou wert in Pythagoras still.
