Is't possible they should so soon repent them? That injured me so lately? tell me the manner That caused them see their error. I'll tell you, sir. Being just now at old Antonio's house, One thunder's at th'back door, enters, and presses To speak in private with young Lelio; Was instantly admitted: And think you who? 'Twas your ginger Albumazar. When he had spoke a while; Lelio and Antonio In haste command' me fetch a Constable. How can this Story touch my happiness? I up and down throw slimy Alehouses, Cloudy Tobacco-shops, and vapouring Taverns: My mouth full of inquiry; At last found one. What of all this? is't possible a Constable Concerns my good? And following my directions, Went to a Tippling-house, where we took drinking Three handsome fellows with a great Chest; Attached them, And brought all to Antonio. Well, what then? These were th'Astrologers intelligences. That robbed you through th'South window. I thought thou'dst spoken Of Flavia's restoring. I mean your plate And treasure; pray you, sir, is't not great happiness To reobtain three thousand pounds in value, Desperately lost? and you still dote and dream Of Flavia, who by your own consent And oath is promised to your son Eugeni? Forward. Within this Chest Antonio found your Plate, Gold, jewels, cloth of silver, nothing perished, But all safe locked till you acknowledge it. And since Albumazar of his own accord Freely confessed, and safe restored your treasure: Since 'tis a day of jubilee and marriage; Antonio would entreat you to release And pardon the ginger: Thanking your fortune That hath restored you to your wealth, and self. Both which were lost i'th' foolish love of Flavia. Reason hath cleared my sight, and drawn the vail Of dotage that so darked my understanding. I clearly see the slavery of affections; And how unsuitable my declining years Are for the dawning youth of Flavia. Let the best joys of Hymen compass her, And her young husband, my Eugenio, With full content. And since Albumazar By accident, caused all this happiness; I freely pardon him, and his companions: And hast t'assist the marriages and feasts. Why now you show yourself a worthy Gentleman. CRicca I overheard your news: all parts are pleased Except myself. Is there no news for Trincalo? Know'st it not? In, and see: Antonio Hath given thee Armellina with a portion, Two hundredth Crowns: and old Pandolfo bound By oath t'assure thee twenty pounds a year, For three lives. Haj! Come in. I'll follow. TWo hundred Crowns? and twenty pound a year For three good lives? Cargo! Hai Trincalo! My wife's extremely busy, dressing the supper For these great marriages; and I not idle, So that I cannot entertain you here As I would elsewhere. But if you come to Totnam Some four days hence, and ask for Trincalo At th'sign o'th' Hogshead; I'll mortgage all my lives To bid you welcome. You that love Trincalo, And mean to meet, clap hands and make't a bargain.
