Hippocrates says, and Galen too, with strong reasoning argues, that a person does not feel well when he is ill. You are right to put all your hopes in me, for I am the greatest, the cleverest, the wisest doctor in the vegetable, animal, and mineral faculty. (GOR: I am delighted to hear it.) Do not imagine that I am an ordinary doctor, a common doctor. All other doctors compared to me are abortions. I possess wonderful talents; I am master of many secrets. (Salamalec, salamalec.) "Hast thou courage, Rodrigo?" (3) Signor, si; signor, non. Per omnia sæcula sæculorum. Still, let us see a little. (Feels GORGIBUS'S pulse.) (SAB: Eh! He is not the patient; it is his daughter who is ill.) It does not matter: the blood of the father and that of the daughter are the same; and by the deterioration of the blood of the father, I can know the illness of the daughter.
