How to scale a text object?

Question

var loginText = new Kinetic.Text({
                  x: 5,
                  y: 5,
                  text: 'login: someLogin',
                  fontSize: 14,
                  fontFamily: 'Arial',
                  fill: 'green'
                });
loginText.scaleX(4);
loginText.scaleY(4);

I'am trying to scale a Kinetic.Text object, but nothing happens, I don't know if its possible, I've also tried this:

loginText.fillPatternScale({
  x: 4
  y: 4
});

but still nothings happens, any ideas?

The answer provided by markE should work.

Here is the complete code and a fiddle example where you can see it work: http://jsfiddle.net/J8vju/

var stage = new Kinetic.Stage({
    width: 400,
    height: 400,
    container: 'container'
});
var layer = new Kinetic.Layer();

var loginText = new Kinetic.Text({
    x: 5,
    y: 5,
    text: 'login: someLogin',
    fontSize: 14,
    fontFamily: 'Arial',
    fill: 'green'
});

var loginText2 = loginText.clone({y: 200});

loginText.scaleX(4);
loginText.scaleY(4);

layer.add(loginText);
layer.add(loginText2);
stage.add(layer);
stage.draw();
