| Back | Sancho went along anything but cheerful, for it grieved him that Altisidora had not kept her promise of giving him the smocks; and turning this over in his mind he said to his master, "Surely, senor, I'm the most unlucky doctor in the world; there's many a physician that, after killing the sick man he had to cure, requires to be paid for his work, though it is only signing a bit of a list of medicines, that the apothecary and not he makes up, and, there, his labour is over; but with me though to cure somebody else costs me drops of blood, smacks, pinches, pinproddings, and whippings, nobody gives me a farthing. |

| Front | No iba nada Sancho alegre, porque le entristecía ver que Altisidora no le había cumplido la palabra de darle las camisas; y, yendo y viniendo en esto, dijo a su amo: -En verdad, señor, que soy el más desgraciado médico que se debe de hallar en el mundo, en el cual hay físicos que, con matar al enfermo que curan, quieren ser pagados de su trabajo, que no es otro sino firmar una cedulilla de algunas medicinas, que no las hace él, sino el boticario, y cátalo cantusado; y a mí, que la salud ajena me cuesta gotas de sangre, mamonas, pellizcos, alfilerazos y azotes, no me dan un ardite. |
