Webster, John, 1580-1625

"The Duchess of Malfi"


Hide me from him: physicians are like kings,--
They brook no contradiction.
DOCTOR. Now he begins to fear me: now let me alone with him.
CARDINAL. How now! put off your gown!
DOCTOR. Let me have some forty urinals filled with rosewater:
he and I 'll go pelt one another with them.--Now he begins to fear
me.--Can you fetch a frisk,<127> sir?--Let him go, let him go, upon
my peril: I find by his eye he stands in awe of me; I 'll make him
as tame as a dormouse.
FERDINAND. Can you fetch your frisks, sir!--I will stamp him into
a cullis,<128> flay off his skin to cover one of the anatomies<129>
this rogue hath set i' th' cold yonder in Barber-Chirurgeon's-hall.
--Hence, hence! you are all of you like beasts for sacrifice.
[Throws the DOCTOR down and beats him.]
There 's nothing left of you but tongue and belly, flattery and
lechery.
[Exit.]
PESCARA. Doctor, he did not fear you thoroughly.
DOCTOR. True; I was somewhat too forward.
BOSOLA. Mercy upon me, what a fatal judgment
Hath fall'n upon this Ferdinand!
PESCARA. Knows your grace
What accident hath brought unto the prince
This strange distraction?
CARDINAL.
