My VVife, Master Doctor, is very ill.

She is so: for her Disease is not to be cured, my Lord; for we cannot restore the decays of vital parts: for as they consume, life draws towards an end.
Lord.
But pray do your endeavour to prolong her like as long as you can.
Doctor.
We shall, my Lord, to the utmost of our skill. Your Lordships humble servant.

I am ready to hear your Lordships commands.
Lord.
And are you as ready to obey them?
Subtilty.
Yes, so far as my duty doth oblige me.
Lord.
Well, then pray do not forget when you are call'd to pay that duty where you owe it.
