SCENE I.--1ST PHYSICIAN, SBRIGANI.


1ST PHY. He has forced through every obstacle I had placed to hinder
him, and has fled from the remedies I was beginning to prepare for
him.

SBRI. To avoid remedies so salutary as yours is to be a great enemy
to oneself.

1ST PHY. It is the mark of a disturbed brain and of a depraved reason
to be unwilling to be cured.

SBRI. You would have cured him, for certain, in no time.

1ST PHY. Certainly; though there had been the complication of a dozen
diseases.

SBRI. With all that he makes you lose those fifty well-earned
pistoles.

1ST PHY. I have no intention of losing them; and I am determined to
cure him in spite of himself. He is bound and engaged to take my
remedies; and I will have him seized, wherever I can find him, as a
deserter from physic and an infringer of my prescriptions.

SBRI. You are right. Your medicines were sure of their effect; and it
is so much money he takes from you.

1ST PHY. Where could I find him?
