_Calandrino_ being very mistrustfull, scratched his head, yet felte he no grievance at all; and going still on; _Buffalmaco_ sodainely encountred him, upon his departure from _Nello_, and after salutations passing betweene them; in a manner of admiration, demanded what he ayled. Truly (quoth _Calandrino_) well enough to mine owne thinking, yet notwithstanding, I met with _Nello_ but even now; and he told me, that my countenance was very much altred; Is it possible that I should bee sicke, and feele no paine or distaste in any part of me? _Buffalmaco_ answered; I am not so skilfull in judgement, as to argue on the Nature of distemper in the body: but sure I am, that thou hast some daungerous inward impediment, because thou lookst (almost) like a man more then halfe dead. _Calandrino_ began presently to shake, as if hee had had a Feaver hanging on him, and then came _Bruno_ looking fearefully on him, and before he would utter any words, seemed greatly to bemoane him, saying at length. _Calandrino_? Art thou the same man, or no? How wonderfully art thou changed since last I saw thee, which is no longer then yester day? I pray thee tell mee, How dooest thou feele thy health? _Calandrino_ hearing, that they all agreed in one opinion of him; he beganne verily to perswade himselfe, that some sodaine sicknes, had seised upon him, which they could discerne, although hee felt no anguish at all: and therefore, like a man much perplexed in minde, demanded of them, What he should do? Beleeve mee _Calandrino_ (answered _Bruno_) if I were worthy to give thee counsell, thou shouldst returne home presently to thy house, and lay thee downe in thy warme Bedde, covered with so many cloathes as thou canst well endure. Then to Morrow morning, send thy Water unto Learned Mayster Doctor the Physitian, who (as thou knowest) is a man of most singular skill and experience: he will instruct thee presently what is the best course to be taken, and we that have ever beene thy loving friends, will not faile thee in any thing that lieth in our power.
