889 (Enter a DOCTOR.)

DOCTOR.

What did you say was his disorder? Tell me, respected sir.

DOCTOR.

What did you say was his disorder? Tell me, respected sir.

Is he harassed by sprites¹, or is he frenzied? Let me know. Is it lethargy, or is it dropsy, that possesses him?
890

OLD MAN

Why, I’m bringing you for that reason, that you may tell me that, and make him convalescent.

DOCTOR.

That indeed is a very easy matter. Why, I shall heal innumerable times as many² in the day.

OLD MAN

I wish him to be treated with great attention.
895

DOCTOR.

That he shall be healed, I promise that on my word; so with great attention will I treat him for you.

OLD MAN

Why, see! here’s the man himself.

DOCTOR.

³ Let’s watch what matter he’s about.
