without my consent, upon pain of incurring the displeasure of the
faculty, and of undergoing all the diseases which we choose to lay

1ST PHY. He was entrusted to me, and he is bound to be my patient.

ORO. Very well.

1ST PHY. It is in vain for him to run away; I will have him sentenced
to be cured by me.

ORO. I am very willing.

1ST PHY. Yes; he must either die or be cured by me.

ORO. I consent to it.

1ST PHY. And if I cannot find him, I will make you answerable, and
cure you instead of him.

ORO. I am in very good health.

1ST PHY. No matter. I must have a patient, and I will take anyone I
can.

ORO. Take whom you will, but it shall not be me. (_Alone_) Did
you ever hear of such a thing!
