Doctor

What a sigh is there. The heart is sorely charged.

Gentlewoman

I would not have such a heart in my bosom for the
dignity of the whole body.

Doctor

Well, well, well. 

Gentlewoman

Pray God it be, sir.    

Doctor

This disease is beyond my practice; yet I have known
those which have walked in their sleep, who have died
holily in their beds.
