Well do I remember thy words, that _Buffalmaco_ delighted to be among men of Wisedome: and have I not now fitted him unto his owne desire? How thinkest thou _Bruno_? The best (quoth _Bruno_) that any man living in the World could do. Ah worthy _Buffalmaco_, answered the Physitian: What wouldst thou then have sayde, if thou hadst seene me at _Bologna_, where there was neyther great nor small, Doctor nor Scholler, but thought themselves happy by being in my company? If I ought any debts, I discharged them with my very wittie words; and whensoever I spake, I could set them al on a hearty laughter, so much pleasure they tooke in hearing mee. And when I departed thence, no men in the world could bee more sorrowfull then they, as desiring nothing more then my remayning among them, which they expressed so apparantly, that they made humble suite and intercession to me, to bee cheefe Reader of the Physicke-Lecture, to all the Schollers studying our profession. But I could not be so perswaded, because my minde was wholly addicted hither, to enjoy those Goods, Landes, and Inheritances, belonging lineally to them of our house, and accordingly I did performe it. How now _Buffalmaco_ (quoth _Bruno_) what is thine opinion now? Thou wouldst not beleeve me when I told thee, that there is not a Doctor in all these parts, more skilfull in distinguishing the Urine of an Asse, from any other, then this most expert and singular man: and I dare boldly maintaine it, that his fellow is not to bee found, from hence to the very gates of _Paris_. Go then, and doe the uttermost endeavour that thou canst, to grant the request which he hath made. Beleeve me _Buffalmaco_, saide the Doctor, _Bruno_ hath spoken nothing but truth, for I am scarsely knowne heere in this City, where (for the most part) they are all grosse-witted people, rather then any jot judicious; but I would thou hadst seene me among the Doctors, in manner as I was wont to be. Introth Sire, replyed _Buffalmaco_, you are my much more Learned then ever I imagined, in which respect, speaking unto you as it becommeth me, to a man so excellent in wit and understanding: I dare assure you that (without any faile) I will procure you to be one of our Company.
