“Sostrata’s servant came into the house:”
Swear,—“that I brought the plague along with me,
Put all their lives in danger, and increas’d
Philumena’s distemper.”—By which means
My mistress will be blam’d, and I be beaten.
[ SCENE III.]
Enter Sostrata.
Sostra. Alas, I hear a dreadful noise within.
Philumena, I fear, grows worse and worse:
Which Æsculapius, and thou, Health, forbid!
