Philip Dwight Jones - The Middle-Cla** Gentleman (Act 4 Scene 4) lyrics

SCENE IV (Cléonte, as a Turk, with three Pages carrying his outer clothes, Monsieur Jourdain, Covielle, disguised.) CLÉONTE: Ambousahim oqui boraf, Iordina, salamalequi. COVIELLE: That is to say: "Monsieur Jourdain, may your heart be all the year like a flowering rosebush." This is the way of speaking politely in those countries. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: I am the most humble servant of His Turkish Highness. COVIELLE: Carigar camboto oustin moraf . CLÉONTE: Oustin yoc catamalequi basum base alla moran. COVIELLE: He says: "Heaven gives you the strength of lions and the wisdom of serpents." MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: His Turkish Highness honors me too much, and I wish him all sorts of good fortune. COVIELLE: Ossa binamen sadoc babally oracaf ouram. CLÉONTE: Bel-men. COVIELLE: He says that you should go with him quickly to prepare yourself for the ceremony; then you can see your daughter and conclude the marriage. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: So many things in two words? COVIELLE: Yes; the Turkish language is like that, it says much in few words. Go quickly where he wants.
