In opening my veins which proud blood poison'd,
Gave the first symptoms of true health.

Doct. 'Tis in you
A Christian resolution. That you live
Is by the governor's, your uncle's, charge

As yet conceal'd; and though a son's loss never 30
Was solemnized with more tears of true sorrow Than have been paid by your unequall'd mother
For your supposed death, she's not acquainted
With your recovery.

Du. For some few days,

Pray, let her so continue. Thus disguised, 35
I may abroad unknown.

Doct. Without suspicion
Of being discover'd.

Du. I am confident,
No moisture sooner dries than women's tears;
And therefore, though I know my mother virtuous,

Yet being one of that frail sex, I purpose 40
Her farther trial.

Doct. That as you think fit;
I'll not betray you.

Du. To find out this stranger,
This true physician of my mind and manners,
Were such a blessing! He seem'd poor, and may,

Perhaps, be now in want: would I could find him! 45
The inns I'll search first, then the public stews: He was of Italy, and that country breeds not
Precisians that way, but hot libertines;
And such the most are: 'tis but a little travail.
I am unfurnish'd too: pray, master doctor, 50
Can you supply me?

Doct. With what sum you please.

Du. I will not be long absent.

Doct. That I wish too;
For, till you have more strength, I would not have you
To be too bold.

Du. Fear not; I will be careful. [Exeunt.

38dries] So Theobald printed, at the suggestion of Sympson.--Both the
folios have "dies," which Colman and Weber retained. Duarte's alleged
reason for concealment is one of several instances in the play where the authors
have failed to secure adequacy of motive to support the intricacies of their plot.
The concealment, of course, is really requited to forward the fortunes of Rutilio.
