Life of my soul well met. Eugenio, As best becomes a woman, most unfortunate. That having loved so long, and been persuaded Her chaste affection was by your's requited, Have by delays been famished. Had I concealed Those flames your virtue kindled, then y'had sued, Entreated, sworn, and vowed, and long ever this Wrought all means possible to effect our marriage. But now. First that you love me not. If so, Whence grows this coldness in soliciting My brother to the match? But other fears oppress me: me thinks I see Aontonio my old father, new returned, Whom all intelligence gave drowned this three months, Enforcing me to marry fool Pandolfo, Thus to obtain Sulpitia for himself. And so last night I dreamed, and ever since Have be so scared, that if you hast not Expect my death. Farewell Eugenio. Sulpitia I pray you pardon me, I saw you not. True, and I think the same that trouble you. It's so, witness your brother Eugenio, and the rotten Kar case of Pandolfo. Had I a hundred hearts, I should want room to entertain his love, and the other's hate. Sulpitia, you are happy that can withstand your fortune with so merry a resolution. Alas, our Sex is most wretched, nursed up from infancy in continual slavery. No sooner able to pray for our selves, but they brail and hudde us so with sour awe of parents, that we dare not offer to bore at our own desires. And whereas it becomes men to vent their amorous passion at their pleasure; we poor souls must rake up our affections in the ashes of a burned heart, not daring to sighs, without excuse of the Spleen, or fit of the mother. I doubt not of his love, but know no means, how he dares work against so great a Rival: your father in a spleen may disin herite him. Farewell Sulpitia. ARmellina? Is the door fast? Never was villainy so personate In seemly properties of gravity. Who's he that knock's so boldly? Mark! his fair daughter Flaviam would, would, would. Most shameless villain how he counterfeits! I love not to converse with dead men. Sir I am afeared: Horror incloses me, my hairs stand up, I sweat to hear a dead man speak, you smell Of putrefaction: Fie I feel't hither. With all obedience: sir dispose of me As of a child, that judgeth nothing good But what you shall approve. Content. The selfsame oath binds me. Come hither wench. Look here, there's Trincalo, Pandolfo's Farmer Wrapped in my father's shape: prithee come quickly, And help me to abuse him. What Antonio? My father! Would thou Wertenberg in his place. Antonio's dead, Dead, under water drowned.
Plot summary
Plot — Albumazar
The neighbours Pandolfo and Antonio, both widowers, have arranged to marry each other’s daughters; but before they can do so, Antonio is lost and presumed dead on an overseas voyage, and the plan goes into abeyance because his son Lelio disapproves of Pandolfo as a potential brother-in-law. Albumazar’s accomplice Furbo has gained access to Pandolfo’s household, posing as his daughter’s tutor, and has learned of his .- amorous aspirations, and also his credulity about. magic and astrology. Albumazar plans to trick him, and sets about demonstrating his occult power. Ronca shows Pandolfo some of the astrologer’s amazing inventions: a telescope and an ‘otacousticon’ (actually a pair of ass’s ears) which allow him to see and hear things at a distance. Albumazar then predicts Pandolfo’s marriage, and also a stabbing which his associates then enact in a brawl. Pandolfo asks the astrologer to raise Antonio’s ghost, but instead Albumazar undertakes to transform the tenant farmer Trincalo into Antonio’s likeness for one day, so that he can give Flavia in marriage to Pandolfo. Trincalo agrees because this will give him access to Antonio’s household, and therefore to the maid Armellina, whom he loves. Pandolfo is required to prepare a room for the metamorphosis, laid out with valuable possessions.

After undergoing the fake metamorphosis, Trincalo is told he may not look at himself in a mirror for fear of breaking the spell. Ronca and Harpax greet him as Antonio, and pretend to be his debtor and creditor respectively, but Trincalo pays Harpax less than he was ===== PAGE 445 ===== 1615 given by Ronca, who has to steal back the balance.
