    This is the way that physicians mend or end us,
    Secundum artem: but although we sneer
    In health--when ill, we call them to attend us,
    Without the least propensity to jeer.

I do remember an apothecary,
And hereabouts 'a dwells, which late I noted
In tatt'red weeds, with overwhelming brows,
Culling of simples. Meagre were his looks,
Sharp misery had worn him to the bones;
And in his needy shop a tortoise hung,
An alligator stuffed, and other skins
Of ill-shaped fishes; and about his shelves
A beggarly account of empty boxes,
Green earthen pots, bladders, and musty seeds,
Remnants of packthread, and old cakes of roses
Were thinly scattered, to make up a show.

And grief-less then (guided by use and art),
To save the whole, sawes off th' infected part.
