TRIN. 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, may'st possess her: turn. But if I be Antonio, then 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, Then all his riches follow. This fair occasion Once vanish'd, hope not the like; of a stark clown, I shall appear a speck-and-span new gentleman.[279] 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. PAN. Art resolv'd? TRIN. Resolv'd! '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. PAN. Content; and for thy sake will make her portion Two hundred crowns. TRIN. Now are you much deceiv'd: I never meant it. PAN. How! TRIN. 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 the astrologer, and there transform, Reform, conform, deform me at your pleasure. I loathe this country countenance. Despatch: my skin Itches like a snake's in April to be stripp'd off. Quickly, O, quickly! as you love Flavia, quickly. SCENE III. ALBUMAZAR, PANDOLFO, RONCA, TRINCALO. ALB. Signior Pandolfo, y' arrive 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 fee-simple, they could ne'er ha' chosen A fitter place to favour your designs. For the great luminaries look from Helic[280] And midst of heaven, in angles, conjunctions, And fortunate aspects of trine and sextile, Ready to pour propitious influences. PAN. Thanks to your pow'r and court'sy, that so plac'd them. This is the man that's ready for the business. ALB. Of a most happy count'nance and timber fit To square to th' gentry: his looks as apt for changing, As he were cover'd with chameleons' skins. TRIN. Except my hands; and 'twill be troublesome To fit these fingers to Antonio's gloves: [_Aside._] PAN. Pray let's about the work as soon as may be. ALB. First, choose a large low room, whose door's full east, Or near inclining: for the oriental quarter's Most bountiful of favours. PAN. I have a parlour Of a great square, and height as you desire it.
