Have patience, and I'll show you what Idrive at. If anyone seeing a player acting his part on a stage should goabout to strip him of his disguise and show him to the people in his truenative form, would he not, think you, not only spoil the whole design ofthe play, but deserve himself to be pelted off with stones as aphantastical fool and one out of his wits? But nothing is more commonwith them than such changes; the same person one while impersonating awoman, and another while a man; now a you...ngster, and by and by a grimseignior; now a king, and presently a peasant; now a god, and in a triceagain an ordinary fellow. But to discover this were to spoil all, itbeing the only thing that entertains the eyes of the spectators. And whatis all this life but a kind of comedy, wherein men walk up and down inone another's disguises and act their respective parts, till theproperty-man brings them back to the attiring house. And yet he oftenorders a different dress, and makes him that came but just now off in therobes of a king put on the rags of a beggar.
