Brach. About the murder?
Flam. They are sending him to Naples, but I 'll send him to Candy. Here 's another property too. Brach. Oh, the doctor! Flam. A poor quack-salving knave, my lord; one that should have been lashed for 's lechery, but that he confessed a judgment, had an execution laid upon him, and so put the whip to a non plus. Doctor. And was cozened, my lord, by an arranter knave than myself, and made pay all the colorable execution. Flam. He will shoot pills into a man's guts shall make them have more ventages than a cornet or a lamprey; he will poison a kiss; and was once minded for his masterpiece, because Ireland breeds no poison, to have prepared a deadly vapour in a Spaniard's fart, that should have poisoned all Dublin. Brach. Oh, Saint Anthony's fire! Doctor. Your secretary is merry, my lord. |
