Coz. Nay, you shall sit enthroned, and eat and drink
As you were a duke.
Cal. If your grace will have me,
I'll eat and drink like an emperor.
Coz. Take your place, then:
[Calandrino takes the duke's chair.
We are amazed.
Giov. This is gross; nor can the imposture
But be discover'd.
Sanaz. The duke is too sharp-sighted
To be deluded thus.
Cal. Nay, pray you eat fair;
Or divide, and I will choose. Cannot you use
Your fork, as I do? Gape, and I will feed you.
[Feeds her.
Gape wider yet; this is courtlike.
Petron. To choke daws with:——
I like it not.
Cal. But you like this?
Petron. Let it come, boy. [They drink.
Coz. What a sight is this! We could be angry with you.
How much you did belie her when you told us
She was only simple! this is barbarous rudeness,
Beyond belief.
Giov. I would not speak her, sir,
Worse than she was.
