'Tis not so dangerous as thou tak'st it; we'll only Alter thy countenance for a day. Imagine Thy face masked only: or that thou dreamest all night Thou were't appareled in Antonio's form, And waking find'st thyself true Trincalo. T'antonio's form? was not Antonio a Gentleman? Yes, and my neighbour, that's his house. O ho! Now do I smell th'Astrologer's trick: he'll steep me In soldiers blood; or boil me in a cauldron Of Barbarous Law French: Or anoint me over With supple oil of great men's services. For these three means raise Yeomen to the Gentry. Pardon me sir: I hate these medicines. Fie! All my posterity will smell and taste on't 'Long as the house of Trincalo endures. there's no such business, thou shall't only seem so And thus deceive Antonio's family. Are you assured? 'twould grieve me to be brayed In a huge Mortar, wrought to paste, and moulded To this Antonio's mould: Grant I be turned: what then? Enter his house, be reverenced by his servants, And give his daughter Flavia to me in marriage. The circumstances I'll instruct thee after. Pray give me leave: this side says do't, this do not. Before I leave you Tom Trincalo take my counsel. Thy Mistress Armellina is Antonio's Maid, And thou in his shape mayst possess her. Turn. But if I be Antonio, than Antonio Enjoys that happiness, not Trincalo. A pretty trick to make myself a Cuckold. No, no; there, take your Lease. I'll hang first. Soft, Be not so choleric Thomas: If I become Antonio, Than all his riches follow. This fair occasion Once vanished, hope not the like; of a stark Clown I shall appear spick and span Gentleman. A pox of Ploughs, and Carts, and Whips, and Horses. Then Armellina shall be given to Trincalo, Three hundred Crowns her portion: we'll get a boy And call him Transformation Trincalo. I'll do't sir. Art resolved? Resolved? 'tis done: With this condition: after I have given your Worship My daughter Flavia, you shall then move my Worship And much entreat me, to bestow my Maid Upon myself, I should say Trincalo. Content, and for thy sake will make her portion Two hundred Crowns. Now are you much deceived I never meant it. How? I did but jest. And yet my hand, I'll do't. For I am mutable And therefore apt to change. Come, come sir, quickly, Let's to th'ginger, and there transform, Reform, conform, deform me at your pleasure. I loathe this Country countenance; dispatch: my skin itches like Snakes in April, to be stripped off. o quickly, as you love Flavia, quickly. signor Pandolfo, y'arrivearrive in happiest hour. If the seven Planets were your nearest kindred, And all the Constellations your Allies: Were the twelve houses, and the Inns o'th' Zodiac Your own feesimple; they could near have chosen A fitter place to favour your designs. For the great Luminaries look from Hilech, And midst of heaven in angles, conjunctions, And fortunate aspects of Trine and Sextile, Ready to power propitious influences.
