father and Philotus, to be Emilia, who takes the person of his sister vpon him : and
after diuerse threatnings of his father, consenteth to marrie Philotus : and so Philo-
tus committeth Philerno to the custodie of his daughter, Brisilla, vntill the mariage
should be accomplished. Philerno faines himselfe to Brisilla, to be transformed in a
man, and so maketh himselfe familiar with her. Thereafter, Philerno is maried to
Philotus, who, fearing to be discovered, maketh a brawling that same night with Phi-
lotus, and abuseth him vyllie, and to colour the mater the better, agreeth with a
whore to go to bed with Philotus. Flavius seeing the supposed Emilia to bee maried
to Philotus, imagines the right Emilia to be a deuiU, and, after many conjurations,
expelleth her his house, she returneth to her father, Alberto, acknowledging her mis-
behaviour, and lamenting her case. Flavius being sent for, perceiuing how he had
mistaken Emilia, reuealeth the whole trueth, and so taketh her home agane to his
wife, and Philerno Brisilla. In the end Philotus bewaileth his folhe for pursuing so
vnequall a match, warning all men to beware, by his example.
