Of a Lawyer and a Physitian, which the Better man.

Epig. 61.

A Quaint Physitian that had tooke Degree,
Like in his Habite: æquall in his Fee.
Being a man of Vniuersall grace,
Contended with a Lawyer for the place:
Sir (quoth 'Physitian) I am One you know
That before Lords and Ladyes vse to goe.
My Life secure, voide of seditious strife.
Not one dares once molest me, for his Life.
I oft am sent for, Lawyer then (bee se'd)
And haue to doe, with Ladyes in their bed.

Lawyer.

Be Patient (Doctor,) And take this from mee,
Tis not your Grace: like Habite: æquall Fee:

Nor Priuiledges all: (say what you can)
May make you bee, or seeme the better man:
I (as Apollo) am the God, to whome
All Countryes croutching doe for Counsaile come.
Iudge then my state! how Honored I liue:
How Liberall: Counsaile vnto all I Giue:
How Honest, That am sought too: free from Hate
When men will trust mee with their whole estate.
No not the statelyest Lady in the Land,
Will sticke to put her Case into my hand:
Goe to our Practise! (for my Countries care)
I most am stirring where Contentions are.
You in Infections, and Diseases raining,
Make out of Others losse and Hurt, your gaining.
I to suppresse Deceit, Truth's Causes vrge:
You, Humours to exhale, with Glisters purge.
Mistake not Doctor then, and you shall finde,
It is your Office for to come behinde.
