SCENE XII.--MR. DE POURCEAUGNAC (_alone_).

What the devil is all this? Are the people of this place crazy? I
never saw anything like it; and I don't understand it a bit.




SCENE XIII.--MR. DE POURCEAUGNAC, TWO PHYSICIANS (_in grotesque
clothes_).

(_They all three at first sit down; the PHYSICIANS rise up at
different times to bow to MR. DE POURCEAUGNAC, Who rises up as often
to bow to them in return_.)

THE TWO PHYSICIANS.
Buon di, buon di, buon di!
Non vi lasciate uccidere
Dal dolor malinconico.
Noi vi faremo ridere
Col nostro canto armonico;
Sol per guarirvi.
Siamo venuti qui.
Buon di, buon di, buon di!

1ST PHYSICIAN.
