    (Macbeth:) How does your patient, doctor?
    (Doctor:) Not so sick, my lord,
    As she is troubled with thick-coming fancies
    That keep her from her rest.
    (Macbeth:) Cure her of that!
    Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased,
    Pluck from the memory of a rooted sorrow,
    Raze out the written troubles of the brain,
    And with some sweet oblivious antidote
    Cleanse the stuffed bosom of the perilous stuff
    Which weighs upon the heart?
    (Doctor:) Therein the patient
    Must minister to himself.
    (Macbeth:) Throw physic to the dogs, I'll none of it!

You tell your doctor, that y' are ill
And what does he, but write a bill,
Of which you need not read one letter,
The worse the scrawl, the dose the better.
For if you knew but what you take,
Though you recover, he must break.
