And thus broke out: "Sure amorous Jove's a holy tale above; With fancy'd arts that wait upon his love, When we are blest with such a charm as this, And he no rival of our happiness: How well the bull wou'd now the god become: Or his grey-hairs to be transform'd to down? Here's Danae's self, a touch from her wou'd fire And make the god in liquid joys expire."
An Eunuch! oh, Lord! Turk. Ay, Sir, to guard his Mistresses, 'tis an honour. Fran. Oh! Mercy, Sir, that honour you may spare, Age has done my business already. Guz. Fellow, what art? Fran. An't please your Worship, I cannot tell. Guz. How, not tell? Fran. An't please your Lordship, my Fears have so transform'd me, I cannot tell whether I'm any thing or nothing. Guz.
I understand not your Cabalistical Language; but in mine, I confess that you wak'd me from the rarest Dream Where methought the Emperor of the Moon World was in our House, dancing and revelling; and methoughts his Grace was fallen desperately in love with Mistriss Elaria, and that his Brother, the Prince, Sir, of Thunderland, was also in love with Mistriss Bellemante; and methoughts they descended to court 'em in your Absence And that at last you surpriz'd 'em, and that they transform'd themselves into a Suit of Hangings to deceive you.
Oh, you will tell me he was kind Yes, yes oh God were not his balmy Kisses Sweeter than Incense offer'd up to Heaven? Did not his Arms, softer and whiter far Than those of Jove's transform'd to Wings of Swans, Greedily clasp thee round? Oh, quickly speak, Whilst thy fair rising Bosom met with his; And then Oh then Dia. Alas, Sir! What's the matter? sit down a while. Cel.
Who, Sir, the Emperor, and Prince his Cousin? Doct. Most certain, Sir. But whether they appear'd in solid Bodies, or Fantomical, is yet a Question; for at my unlucky approach, they all transform'd themselves into a Piece of Hangings. Char. 'Tis frequent, Sir, their Shapes are numerous; and 'tis also in their power to transform all they touch, by virtue of a certain Stone they call the Ebula.
Jonson, indeed, has preserved the tradition that it had been Sir Philip's intention 'to have transform'd all his Arcadia to the stories of King Arthure , though how the transformation was to be accomplished he forbore to hint; but the more familiar tradition of Sidney's having expressed on his death-bed a desire that the romance should be destroyed assorts better with what else we know of his regard for his 'idle worke.
