whither God does know Alone thou goest naked and all over quaking Alas what 'll become of thy pretty fooling humour Lass what 'll become of so many pleasant frolicks I can't guess Cato treated Death like a business that was too serious but you see I drolled with it and herein it is that I pretend that my Philosophy went far beyond Cato's It is not so difficult haughtily to out-brave Death as it is to joak her in a careless manner nor is it so hard a thing to receive her kindly when we call her to our aid as when she comes when we have no need of her M. of Austria Yes I grant Cato's death is not so brave as yours but as ill luck would have it I had not observed that you had made these small Verses in which the bravery of yours does consist Adrian This is the way of all the world Cato may tear out his Bowels rather than fall into the hands of his Enemy it is perhaps no such great matter if it be throughly examined yet such a feat as that makes a vast shew in History and there 's not one but is taken with it Another may die fair and quietly and be in a capacity to make drolling Verses upon his death 't is more than Cato has done but this has nothing in it that is taking and History does scarce take notice of it M. of Austria Alas nothing is truer than what you say And I my self that now speak to you I have a death that I pretend is far before yours and yet 't is less taken notice of 'T is not however a downright death but such as 't is it exceeds yours that does exceed Cato's Adrian How what do you mean M. of Austria I was an Emperor's Daughter I was contracted to a King's Son and this Prince after his father's death sent me back to mine notwithstanding the solemn promise he had mad● to marry me After this the contracted me to the Son of another King and as I was going b● Sea to this Husband my Ship w●● beaten with a terrible Tempe●● which cast my life into evide●● danger Then it was that I mad● my self this Epitaph Megg that pretty Damsel does h●●● lie Has two Husbands and yet a M●●● does die The truth is I did not die 〈…〉 but 't was not my fault Co●ceive well this kind of death yo● be satisfied with it Cato's Co●stancy is injured in one kind yo● in another mine is natural H● too high you are too drolling am reasonable Adrian What You tax me of having had too little fear of death M. of Austria I do It is not likely that a man should be in no disorder at his dying hour and I am confident you did force your self then to droll as much as Cato did to tear out his Entrails I am every moment in expectation of Shipwrack without frightning my my self and I mak my Epitaph in cold blood this is very extraordinary and if there were nothing to moderate this History there would be some reason not to believe it or to believe that I did act only by way of Rhodomantado But in the mean while I am a poor Girl twice contracted and yet have been so unlucky as to die a Maid I shew my Concern for it and that gives my History all requisite appearance of truth Your Verses mind them well carry no meaning with them there is nothing but a Gibbrish made up of ● few Childish Terms but min● have a very clear Sense and giv● content at the very first which i● a sign that Nature speaks in them much more than in yours Adrian Truly I should neve● have believed that the trouble to die a Virgin ought to have been so much ●o your Glory M. of Austria Make your sel● as pleasant with this as you please but my death if it may be terme● so has another especial advantag● over Cato's and over yours Yo● had both of you played the Philosophers so much whilst you lived that you had engaged your selve upon Honour not to be afraid o● death and if you had had the liberty to fear it I cannot tell wha● would have come on it But I a● long as the storm lasted I had a Right to tremble and make my ●ries reach Heaven without any ●ody's taking exception at it or ●aving a less esteem for me Ne●ertheless I remained quiet enough ●o make my Epitaph Adrian Betwixt you and I Was ●ot the Epitaph made on Shore M. of Astria Ah! this wrangling ●●us is ill-becoming I did not so ●y you about your Verses Adrian I yield then in good ●arnest and I grant that when ●ertue does not go beyond the ●ounds of Nature she is very ●reat The Fifth Dialogue Erasistrates Herveus Erasistrates YOU tell me wonders What the Blood circulates in th● Body the Veins carry it from th● Extremities of the Heart and go● from the Heart into the Arterie which convey it back again towards the Extremities Herveus I have shewed so m●ny Experiences of this that n●body makes any further questio● of it Arasist We deceived our selve● very much then we Physicians o● Antiquity who took the Blood t● have but one slow motion fro● the Heart towards the Extrem●ties of the Body and people are highly obliged to you for having ●bolished this ancient Error Herv So I pretend And people ●ught too to be so much the more obliged to me in that I was the first that set them in the way to make all those fine Discoveries as are now made in Anatomy Since I once found out the Circulation of the Blood 't is now who shall find a new Conduit out to convey the Blood into all parts of the Body a new Reservatory It ●ooks as though whole Man were melted down again Behold the advantages our Modern Physick ought to have above yours You made it your business to cure the Body of Man and his Body was altogether unknown to you Erasist I own that your modern Physitians are better Naturalists than we they understand Nature better but they are not better Physitians we cured the Sick as well as they cure them I could wish all these modern ones and you the very first of all had had Prince Antiochus in hand to cure of his Quartern Ague You know how I went about it and how ● discovered by the more than ordinary beating of his Pulse in the presence of Stratonice that he was enamoured with that beautifull Queen and that his whole Disease did proceed from his violent striving to hide his Passion● And yet I made so difficult and so considerable a Cure as that was without knowing that the blood did circulate and I am of opinion that notwithstanding the help you might have received from this knowledge you would have been very much puzled had you been in my place The Point then in agitation was not about new Conduits nor new Reservatories what was most considerable to be known in the Patient was the
