Scene V Mr. Jourdain, Dorimene, Dorante, Cleonte (Dressed as a Turk); Covielle (Disguised)
MR. JOUR. Where are you going, then? You know that we can say nothing without you. (Showing CLEONTE.) Just tell him that this gentleman and this lady are people of very high rank, who have come to pay their homage to him, as friends of mine, and to assure him of their services. (To DORIMENE and DORANTE) You will see how he will answer.
COV. Alabala crociam acci boram alabamen.
CLE. Catalequi tubal ouria soter amalouchan.
MR. JOUR. (to DORIMENE and DORANTE). Do you see?
COV. He says, “May the rain of prosperity water at all times the garden of your family.”
MR. JOUR. I told you that he spoke Turkish.
DOR. This is admirable.
