Cricca thou understandest not: for Antonio Whom I resemble, suffers all: not I. Yonder they come, I'll hence and haste to Lelio. THe chamber's fit: provide the plate and hangings, And other necessaries: give strict order The room be cleansed, perfumed, and hanged, meanwhile, With astrolabe, and Meteoroscope, I'll find the Cusp and Alfriduria, And know what Planet is in Cazimi. All shall be ready sir, as you command it. Doctor Albumazar, I have a vein of drinking, And artery of lechery, runs through my body: Pray when you turn me gentleman, preserve Those two, if 't may be done with reputation. Fear not, I'll only call the first, good fellowship, And th'other, civil recreation. And when you come to th'heart', spoil not the love of Armellina. And in my brain leave as much discretion As may spy falsehood in a Tavern reckoning; And let me alone for bounty to wink and pay't. And if you change me perfectly, I'll bring y'a dozen knights for customers. I warrant thee: sir are you well instructed In all these necessaries? theyare in my table-book. Forget not clothes for th'new transformed, and robes For me to sacrifice: you know the fashion. I'll rather change five, than apparel one: For men have living souls, clothes are unanimate. Here take this ring, deliver it to my brother, An officer in the Wardrobe, he'll furnish you With robes and clothes of any stuff, or fashion. Almuten Alchochoden of the stars attend you. I kiss your hands divine ginger. UP quickly Trincalo to my child Sulpitia, Bid her lay out my fairest Damask tablecloths. The fairest Holland sheets, all th'silver plate, Two gossips cups of gold: my greatest Diamonds: Make haste. As fast as Alchochoden and Almuten Can carry me: for sure these two are Devils. This is that blessed day I so much longed for: four hours attendance till my man be changed, Fast locks me in the lovely arms of Flavia. Away Trincalo. How slow the day slides on! When we desire Times hast, it seems to lose a match with Lobsters, And when we wish him stay, he imps his wings With feathers plumed with thought. Why Trincalo! Here sir. Come let's away for cloth of silver, Wine and materials for the Sacrifice. Eugenio, these are wonders past belief. Is your old father of so poor a judgement To think it in the power of man to turn One person to another? Lelio, his desire T'enjoy your sister Flavia, begets hope, Which like a waking dream, makes false appearance Lively as truth itself. But who's the man That works these miracles? An ginger. How deals Astrology with transmutation? Under the vail and colour of Astrology, He clouds his hellish skill in Necromancy. Believe it, by some Art, or false imposture, he'll much disturb your love, and yours, Eugenio.
