Couldst<12> thou make men<13> to live eternally,
Or, being dead, raise them to life again,
Then this profession were to be esteem'd.
Physic, farewell! Where is Justinian?

[Reads.]
Si una eademque res legatur<14> duobus, alter rem,
alter valorem rei, &c.

[Reads.]
Exhoereditare filium non potest pater, nisi, &c.<15>

Such is the subject of the institute,
And universal body of the law:<16>
This<17> study fits a mercenary drudge,
Who aims at nothing but external trash;
Too servile<18> and illiberal for me.
When all is done, divinity is best:
Jerome's Bible, Faustus; view it well.

[Reads.]
Stipendium peccati mors est.
Ha!
Stipendium, &c.

The reward of sin is death: that's hard.
