The Changeling is a tragicomedy play written by Thomas Middleton, first published in 1653. The story is set in Alicante, Spain, and follows the tale of Beatrice-Joanna, a young woman who is engaged to Alonzo de Piracquo, but is secretly in love with Alsemero. She hires a servant named De Flores to kill Alonzo so she can be with Alsemero, but De Flores demands sexual favors in return. Beatrice-Joanna reluctantly agrees, and the play explores themes of lust, power, and betrayal. The Changeling is widely regarded as one of Middleton's greatest works, and is known for its complex characters and intricate plot. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Elizabethan and Jacobean drama.FRANCISCUS Luna is now big-bellied, and there's room For both of us to ride with Hecate; I'll drag thee up into her silver sphere, And there we'll kick the dog, and beat the bush That barks against the witches of the night. The swift lycanthropi that walks the round, We'll tear their wolvish skins, and save the sheep.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
