2151[4.4]
[To the Gentlemen] Give us a little leave.
4.4.1.1[Exeunt Fluello, Castruccio, and Pioratto.]
Doctor, your news.
I sent for him, my lord. At last he came,
2163Duke
始Twas excellent.
He fell with such devotion on his knees
2166Duke
Fond, superstitious fool!
That had he been inflamed with zeal of prayer
Ha, ha! Alack, alack.
The cup he lifts up high, and thus he said
And died?
2176Doctor
And died, my lord.
2177Duke
Thou in that word
2184Doctor
Thanks, gracious lord.
Hum?
I do beseech your Grace to bury deep
2189Duke
Nay, nay – for that,
You throw an angry forehead on my face,
Ay, ay, we conster so.
And only for your love.
2197Duke
Confessed; 始tis true.
Nor let it stand against me as a bar
Which to prevent –
2205Doctor
始Tis from my heart as far –
No matter, doctor. 始Cause I始ll fearless sleep,
4.4.50.1Exit.
Is始t so? Nay then, Duke, your stale principle
Meet you, sir? He might have met with three 2217fencers in this time and have received less hurt than by 2218meeting one doctor of physic. Why, sir, h始as walked under the old 2219abbey wall yonder this hour till he始s more cold than a 2220citizen始s country house in January. You may smell him 2221behind, sir. La you, yonder he comes.
Leave me.
[Aside] I始th始 lurch, if you will.
4.4.57.1Exit.
4.4.57.2Enter Hippolito [dressed in black].
O my most noble friend!
2225Hippolito
Few but yourself
Come, you must doff this black, dye that pale cheek
What lady?
2235Doctor
Infelice. She始s revived.
2238Hippolito
Umh. I thank you, sir.
2242Doctor
By that love
2249Hippolito
O treacherous Duke!
He cannot hope so certainly for bliss
2254Hippolito
A very devil!
Her did he closely coach to Bergamo,
2257Hippolito
Will I ride. Stood Bergamo
You shall to her, but not to Bergamo.
2266Hippolito
O, when?
Nay, see, how covetous are your desires!
2269Hippolito
O, where, good father?
At Bethlem Monastery. Are you pleased now?
At Bethlem Monastery! The place well fits;
We始ll steal away this night in some disguise.
This is such happiness
Let all your joys then die in misbelief;
2284Hippolito
O, yes, good father!
We始ll hence this night. Much must be done, much said.
Heavenly physician! Far thy fame shall spread,
