SCENE 6.
Trincalo and Beuilona dressing him.Tri.
When this transformed substance of my carcasse
Did live imprison'd in a wanton hogshead,
My name was Don Antonio, and that title
Preserv'd my life, and chang'd my suite of clothes.
How kindly the good Gentlewoman us'd me! with what Respect
and carefull tendernesse! your Worship sir had ever a sickly constitution,
and I feare much more now since your long travaile: as
you love me, off with these wet things, and put on the suite you left
with me before you went to Barbary. Good sir neglect not your
health: for upon my Experience there is nothing worse for the
Rheume, then to be drench't in a musty Hogshead. Pretty soul! such
another speech would have drawn off my legs and arms, as easily
as hose and doublet. Had I been Trincalo, I'de have sworn th'had
cheated. But fie! tis base and clownish to suspect, and a Gentlemans
freenesse to part with a cast suit. Now to the businesse: Ile in to my
own house, and first bestow Armellina upon Trincalo, then try
what can be done for Pandolfo: for tis a rule I wont t'observe.
First, do your own affairs, and next your Masters. This word Master
makes me doubt I am not charg'd as I should be. But al's one,
Ile venter, and doe something worthy Antonios' name while I
have it.
