There lies some hidden canker at his soul.

When he was prostrate on a fevered bed,

The utterings of his delirium

Were rather those of some base man of sin,

Than of a holy father, vowed to heaven.

Ans. Thy news is grave indeed; but knowest thou this

Of thine own knowledge?

Dom.Ay, in truth I do.

I took my turn with others at his bed,

And all who watched him made the same report.
