ALBVMAZAR. TRINCALO.
AL.
STand forth transform'd Antonio fully mued From browne soare feathers of dull yeomanry To th'glorious bloome of gentry; prune your selfe slick, Sweare boldly y'are the man you represent To all that dare deny't.
TRI.
I finde my thoughts Most strangely altred▪ but me thinkes my face Feeles still like Trincalo.
ALB.

As an attentiue Angler Fixing his steady eyes on the swift streames Of a steepe tumbling torrent, no sooner turnes His sight to land, but giddy, thinkes the firme bankes And constant trees, moue like the running waters: So you that thirty yeares haue liu'd in Trincalo, Chang'd suddenly, think y'are so still; but instantly These thoughts will vanish.
TRI.
Giue me a looking-glasse▪ To read your skill in these new lineaments.

Spight of my skill, to Trincalo, as before. We read that Apuleius by a rose Chang'd from an Asse to Man: so by a mirrour, You'l loose this noble lustre, and turne Asse. I humbly take my leaue; but still remember T'auoyd the Diuell and a looking glasse. New-borne Antonio, I kisse your hands.
TRI.
Divine Albumazar I kisse your hands.
