Were Lygdus made, that’s done; I have it ready. And to-morrow morning I’ll send you a perfume, first to resolve And procure sweat, and then prepare a bath To cleanse and clear the cutis; against when I’ll have an excellent new fucus made, Resistive ’gainst the sun, the rain, or wind, Which you shall lay on with a breath, or oil, As you best like, and last some fourteen hours. This change came timely, lady, for your health, And the restoring your complexion, Which Drusus’ choler had almost burnt up! Wherein your fortune hath prescribed you better Than art could do.
